Well, the 49-state loser speaks!

I could find a number of things wrong with this op/ed piece by crusty Fritz Mondale - but I'll let my fellow Freepers tear it apart.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

Actually if you throw in his failed Senate campaign, he’s a 50-state loser.

The man live in a delusional world. I remember the Carter years, Mondale must have been living somewhere else.

“Since the Carter administration left office, we have been criticized for many things. Yet I remain enormously proud of what we did in those four years, especially that we told the truth, obeyed the law and kept the peace.”

It’s interesting to hear Mondale talk about how they kept the peace. The roots of today’s Islamo-fascism arguably can be traced to the Iranian revolution when Jimmy was president. And our weak response to the hostage crisis technically may have kept the peace in a troubled part of the world, but may have helped lead to where we are today.

heck, Bill Clinton “kept the peace” in the ‘90s by never responding to terrorists attacks against America overseas and treating the 1st World Trade Center bombing as simply a criminal matter, not an act of war by terrorists. And Bill Clinton “keeping the peace” arguably helped lead to what happened on Sept. 11th.

But it wasn't until Jimmy Carter assumed the presidency that the vice presidency took on a substantive role.

With Carter as President of course it would take on a bigger role to take up the slack.

Sadly enough however Fritz was the one taking up the slack and was just as bad as Carter.

I knew Minnesota could be a “Red” state!

“Since the Carter administration left office, we have been criticized for many things".

You both were criticized long before you left office for your political buffoonery.

My property is not big enough to show up in blue without extreme resolution capabilities. ; )

[Mr. Mojo]

The good old days when the GOP was designated in blue and the Dems in commie red. Those were the traditional color designations in every election up ‘til 2000, when the TV media made a concerted effort to eradicate the Dems = Reds association. ....quite successfully, as it turned out.

i recently met a woman from minnesota and she is left of left.

cheney is a doer.

that’s the difference.

mondale is not a doer.

[Gay State Conservative]

Geeze...he even lost MASSACHUSETTS! What a maroon!

[river rat]

Hell, Mondale couldn’t even keep his daughter from being “served up” to Clinton as an after dinner tart.....

Now - this loser is telling America what and how we should think?

Will anyone save the Republic from these leftist bastards?

Yeah, and Hitler was a dog-lover who eliminated German unemployment. Mondale, Carter, McGovern - the dementia-addled wing of the democratic party....

[NeoCaveman]

Well, the 49-state loser speaks!

In 2004, he lost his 50th state.

But it wasn't until Jimmy Carter assumed the presidency that the vice presidency took on a substantive role.

That's because Jimmuh was busy overseeing the White House tennis court scheduling....

[svcw]

I really think that Carter and Mondale have peanut butter rather than grey matter for brains.

[EGPWS]

That's because Jimmuh was busy overseeing the White House tennis court scheduling....

And he even screwed that up and the court wound up with a shortage balls...too.

[EGPWS]

Geeze...he even lost MASSACHUSETTS!

Even his friends hated him.

LOL!
