"Where am I?"...

Via Greg Hengler, I'm ... kind of torn on this one. On one hand, it plays into every fear among the conservative base of the GOP about Mitt Romney. On the other hand, the statement from the man formerly known as the worst American President in modern times makes it very, very difficult for Team Obama to succeed in using the advice given by the only other Democratic President in the last 40+ years to paint Romney as The Mostest Radicalist Scariest Right-Winger Since Barry Goldwater Nearly Nuked The Nation. I'd bet, under the circumstances, that Mitt Romney will be happier than Barack Obama with Jimmy Carter's assessment of the general election in 2012, or at least less unhappy:
I had to laugh out loud at Carter’s assertion that politics has gotten more polarized since his term in office. Democrats in 1980 tried using the same strategy Bill Clinton gave to Obama, only they used it against Ronald Reagan. It didn’t work, since the nation wanted a significant change from Carter’s fecklessness and economic malaise more than they feared Reagan’s commitment to conservative principles. The polarization continued all through Reagan’s two terms in office, perhaps hitting a peak in the awful Robert Bork confirmation hearings and vote in 1987. The difference was that there were fewer counterweights to liberal media outlets that fueled it.
The question that Greg asks is still a good one: If Jimmy Carter is comfortable with a Romney presidency, it’s a safe bet that a lot more Democrats will be, too.
True.
Carter did in fact start the wave of deregulation that Reagan carried through. Airlines, trucking, etc.
He was a a lousy leader but not really an ideologue.
But ponder this:
Whoever is elected President this November will likely appoint 4 justices to the Supreme Court.
Ponder that and get out there are work for Romney as though your children's lives depended on it. They do.
LMAO.....
A full blooded lib loon and a traitor to boot, comes out for Romney OVER OBAMA!! LMAO
I flat don’t know how Romney supporters-converted conservatives- will be able to sleep at night.
I would have voted for the only real conservative in this crazy race, I would have voted for Newt Gingrich.

Can Jimmah still find his shoes?
There you go. There’s the icing on the cake.
Vote Romney, he’s the choice of Jimmy Carter.
Another-words, even the dolt Carter knows Romney is a Leftist plant.
Hey Card, hey Rove, hey RNC, you folks should be proud. Even Jimmy Carter is more politically savvy than you are.
"Where am I?"...
**** romney and everyone that supports his leftist self.
LLS
Ask Brian and Beverly Mauck how Willard’s judicial appointments worked out for them.
Superlative example of “Damned with faint praise.”
For a ‘Pubby, that has to be the most devastating endorsement I have ever read.
Of course Carter wants Obama to lose. If Obama loses, then it cements him in as the worst president ever and Jimmy is only second. No telling, given another term, Obama might wise up and prove that he isn’t worse than Carter.
Where is the quote? What kind of sh!tass writing is this? Almost unreadable.
Is Carter okay with Milt winning the Nomination or the presidential election? Can’t tell from the article.
