You stupid twit. In EIGHT years you never ONCE said the same of Obama who did NONE of these things.
In over 30 years you’ve never ONCE said this of the Clintons.
How do you atone for your sins Jimmah?
“Being confident of our own future, we are now free of that inordinate fear of communism which once led us to embrace any dictator who joined us in that fear. I’m glad that that's being changed.” …That is a lie about what the USA was doing to fight communism. (In that same speech, he spoke against “colonialism” too, as a sort of foreshadowing of Obama.)
“Now, I believe in détente with the Soviet Union. To me it means progress toward peace. But the effects of détente should not be limited to our own two countries alone. We hope to persuade the Soviet Union that one country cannot impose its system of society upon another, either through direct military intervention or through the use of a client state’s military force, as was the case with Cuban intervention in Angola.” …Yet he covered up what Red China was doing to Rhodesia via the efforts of Mugabe and ZANU-PF. That is the deepest depth of hypocrisy.
As living ex-presidents go, they have Carter, Clinton, and The Muslim. We have Bush 1 and Bush 2. Kind of depressing.
It’s a false dilemma being forced to choose Carter or Obama as a neighbor. I’d move out, if I couldn’t keep either of them out of my neighborhood.
I’ll point out that for 1976, it was around sixteen Democrats in the primary period. With all the Watergate hype, everyone felt we needed some ethical ‘answer’ as President. So the ethical period went into effect. Four years later, Jimmy’s lack of leadership and executive skills were apparent. He was not a guy suited for the job required. Nice enough guy...probably did know some things about farming. But he was way beyond his skill level for the job required.
I grant that there’s one positive to Carter: his being a one-termer.
Don’t forget that the RINOs of that era were dead against Reagan challenging Ford.
Carter is surely the last man that represents ethics, never mind morals.
The interesting thing in 1976 is if Reagan had done better in the first four primaries (maybe winning Iowa), and found another million votes with five more state wins...Reagan would have cleared the hurdle and won the GOP convention. A more youthful Reagan at podium against Jimmy Carter in 1976, would have probably changed history.
Totally different way of handling the Russians...no stupid misuse of the Olympics...no Jimmy Carter. 1976 to 1984...solid Ronald Reagan era.
The guy who brought down the Shah and created modern Islamic terrorism because the Shah wouldn’t pay him a bribe, has no business lecturing anybody.
He is also the midwife of the Venezuelan disaster under Hugo Chavez
Not to mention Iran and nobody even seems to remember the Panama Canal ( now controlled by China) give away
The Carter Center also was a big booster of Yasser Arafat and the PLO mafias destruction of the peace process and the Palestinian people
He seems the most unlikely warmonger. But warmonger he is.
Yep, me too. Voted for Carter my first time ever voting. I became a Reagan democrat - both times, after that, and then changed parties and never looked back.
Let’s be honest. Jimmy Carter was an honest man. Why he chooses to associate with a politically repugnant party of moral deviance is beyond my understanding.
There are scales in Carters eyes. Does he not see the devil at work?
Funny Jimmie Carter never told the Kenyan to tell the truth. Of course if 0bungler told the truth he couldn’t have run for president. Besides Jimmie you are only one notch above being the worst president the nation has ever endured
Don’t forget Hugo Chavez. Haven’t seen any concern from Carter about the deplorable conditions in Venezuela.
The Venezuelans are far too broke to be able to offer the Carter Center a big enough bribe to buy a pronouncement from Carter.
Besides, jimmy Carter three times certified Hugo Chavez was not a dictator and Venezuela was a freely elected democracy. What more can be said?
Donald, listen carefully to what Jimmy says and then do the opposite.
If Demoncraps had to tell the truth they would not have a political party.
