Carter was just trying to shift the “Worst President in History” mantle to someone else. Too bad, Jimma, I think it’s yours for at least another hundred years or so.
Carter gave us the current irredentist Iranian regime. He should be TOTALLY irrelevant.
I do remember the News Media called Florida for Gore when only 1 percent of the votes had come in. I thought I didn’t see right
Money, and the way it's funneled, or not funneled to the political process.
Bloomberg can run an effective third party campaign, just as Perot was able.
Bill Gates, he could give it a shot, as could Forbes or even Oprah.
While he wasn't my cup of tea, nor were his opinions, nor what the lead to, a bomber pilot by the name of McGovern did change the political landscape in 1968. Financed by a Ford scion as I recall, which was no secret.
Couldn't happen today, Mel Gibson can spend his money on a run for President, but not in support of, take your pick, whatever third party candidate.
As each piece of legislation passes, we become more and more entrenched in two parties. I'm sure that's an accident.
Should note again that the founding of the Republican Party in Ripon was 150 years ago. I'm not sure 3rd parties will emerge often, TR couldn't do it, but CFR does supress minority views.
Reagan did amnesty. It will be forgotten. If GWB is looking to it as a legacy builder, it will be forgotten. People don't value what they don't work for.
Long after carter is dead, I and others of my generation will continue to spread the true story that jimmy carter was and still is the worst president in U.S. history (lower case intentional 'cause he warrants no respect). He f'ed up the country real bad.
Every week the price of bread, milk, eggs and other essential items went up, what with double-digit inflation... while carter made it worse! We truly suffered under this idiot, and I cursed him and hope he will rot in hell. (Of course things got supremely better for my young family under President Reagan.)
It’s been said before but it’s due to Jimmy Carter that we are stuck with the Middle East the way it is now.
The man is a complete putz without any character and no ethics.
Jimmy, be a man, if you can, and own up to your complete and utter foreign policy failures during your reign.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Just imagine, this from a President who, in the midst of a centuries long trend marking the global advance of democracy, oversaw the most extensive reversals of that trend of any modern President (excepting conquests lost but later regained in the world wars). A short list would have to include Afghanistan, Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique, South Yemen, Libya, Syria, Aden, The Congo, Madagascar, The Seychelles, Nicaragua, and Grenada. And those were just the states where Soviet influence was secured or markedly avanced under Carter's watch. It doesn't even include states like Iran that went (more or less) independently rouge.
OTOH, you'd have to consider Carter a proven authority on being the WORST President in history.
Personally, I think this is being way too mean to all the “irrelevants” out there. Carter has to rise a bit to be called “irrelevant”.
How could Jimmah Carter become more irellevant? I think that would be impossible.
Carter is as ugly a stain on the American presidency as he is on the human gene pool. It’s obvious that Billy got the brains, the common sense and the good looks in that family. Jimmy should follow Billy’s example.
George W. Bush is still the president. How irrelevant is that?
sheeesh
If Carter had the good sense to shut up for a couple of years he may find that he isn’t considered the worst president of all time. His idiotic rantings keep him one notch below Bush. Maybe Bush has him on the payroll.
Mister Peanut is, as usual, wrong. The Florida results were certified and the SCOTUS had nothing to do with "choosing" the president.
Hit ‘em again, Hit’em again! I think the Islamo-fascists would agree with the “Pansy from Plains”, George Bush is their worst nightmare.
The principle foundation of demo-groupthink is conceit. They’re incapable of reason.
$$$$$$$$
I am very much pro-life, but if there was ever an argument for abortion, he would be it. If only I could go back in time.
“I can’t wait to empty my bladder repeatedly on this asshats grave!”
I guess we should all expect a line.
