I have no opinion on people who vote “not sure”, I’m not sure what to think of it.
Jimmy Carter was an embarrassment as president and is now a race baiter. Should we view this constant playing of the race card by the left as a good thing in that sooner or later the race card will become irrelevant? Ideas, just like people, should be judged on their merits.
Maybe Al Sharpton and the real race pimps could sue Jimmy Carter for copyright infringements? LOL!
Wrong 60% bump.
64 = Wrong
35 = Right
2 = Undecided
How bout this is a non-issue seeking an audience to further government forced racism and the Hussein agenda. People should just ignore it. Everyone and every animal on the planet discriminates—it is called the behavior of choice. It is a non-issue.
I never thought anything could be worse than Carter’s presidency. So far his ex-presidency is much worse and Obama’s presidency may pass both of those.

BTTT!
Here is what Jimmy Carter actually said
Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst was "based on racism" and, more broadly, that "an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man."
Their wording is such as to increase the “yes” vote. Carter didn’t say that “some” of the opposition is racial but implied that most of it was inspired by racism, a different proposition. People who had seen a couple of arguably racist signs (played up by the media if they reported the protest at all) might then say “yes” to the “some” option, but Carter wasn’t talking about the fringe element.
