Carter Rips Bush on 'Axis' Label

Hmmm. I guess Jimmy thinks the Bible's contrast of good and evil is "overly simplistic and counterproductive". Let's review...

1. Kim Jung Il starves to death his own people by the hundreds of thousands, in order to escalate his military expenditures.

2. Saddam used deadly nerve gas on his own people.

3. Iran spends billions financing, training and arming people to kill women and children.

This is evil, Peanuthead. What could be simpler than that? The only "progress" to be made with such men is to defeat or kill them. Period.

Who, said what?

Still bitter about stagflation, Jimmuh?

"overly simplistic and counterproductive."

That discribes Carters housing program. Build one house at a time while the US gains 3 million people a year...

"I think it will take years before we can repair the damage done by that statement,"

It took us years to repair the damage done by the Carter presidency....

Right. Iran wouldn't even be in the axis of evil if Carter hadn't completely bungled the hostage crisis and made the US look like a pitiful, helpless giant. Thank God this moron can only talk about foreign policy, and not actually do anything about it anymore.

"...overly simplistic and counterproductive."
Nice choice of words, Jimmy. Way too much complexity out there, and maybe far too much production of the wrong kind of thing. Some production must be curbed, especially when there is diminishing payoff. I LIKE short answers, works just fine on bumper stickers and T-shirts. sometimes when the thinking is pared back to its essentials, and maybe there isn't very much content, the answer should be short and simple.

Jimmy Carter..... saying the statement was "overly simplistic and counterproductive."

This from the nut who's "Axis Of Evil" included a frightened rabbit swimming near his row boat.

[TLBSHOW]

Now we have to clean up his mess too, after leaving our people there for most of his Presidency. Shut up Jimmy do nothing, fool!

Where's my Billie Beer?
How are you?

[aruanan]

Carter also said the growing gap between the rich and the poor continues to be the world's greatest challenge....

And Carter says Bush is simplistic.

[laconic]

This grotesque incompetent never misses an opportunity to criticize his own country and its leaders as long as its not him. I remember you, Mr. Carter: 1) a non-existent "energy crisis" and four hours in line to get a tank of gas; 2) double-digit inflation; 3) 20 percent interest rates; 4) the desert rescue fiasco in Iran; 5) the Russian invasion of Afghanistan; 6) amnesty for draft dodgers; 7) the Mariel boatlift of 100,000 criminals and mental patients Castro sent to Florida, unopposed; 8) the "malaise" you blamed on us! I could go on and on, Jimmy Carter is a prime example of the maxim: "Those who can't, teach".

Well Jimmy, not everyone can have Amy or Chelsea advising them.

"I think it will take years before we can repair the damage done by that statement,"

Right. Iran wouldn't even be in the axis of evil if Carter hadn't completely bungled the hostage crisis and made the US look like a pitiful, helpless giant. Thank God this moron can only talk about foreign policy, and not actually do anything about it anymore.

Also, the jerk (who also gave up the Panama Canal - Good going Jimbo) withdrew support for the Shaw (sp?) which lead to the revolution.

[cactusSharp]

hey Carter...two words....Burt Lance......remember that glorious 21% interest ?

[goldstategop]

Jimmy Carter should stick to growing peanuts and building homes for "Habitat For Humanity." He was absolutely our worst President until Bill Clinton. It was none other than President Carter who botched Desert One. Funny how he ignored the Iranian terrorists' storming of our U.S Embassy and the hostages they held since in Teheran happened on HIS watch. The man has absolutely no grasp of the realities of the world. No wonder the American people were happy to get rid of him in 1980.

Mad-a-line...there is a HUUUUUGE BUG crawling up your body. Somebody...get a baseball bat!

[satchmodog9]

Why is every comment that comes out of a lefties cakehole is "simplistic" or "unilateralist".Just like gravitas, these aholes all repeat the same tired mantra. Give it a rest Jimbo. Me thinks you are trying to cover up the fact that you were the biggest f-up to ever sit in the White House. You will never win your coveted Nobel peace prize because not even the Eurolefties can look at you with a straight face. BOOB.

[jwalsh07]

Yep, thats about the way I remember it, that and not having enough ammo to go to the range more than once a year.

[jwalsh07]

LBJ was the worst President, Carter was a benign fool.

[Argus]

Amen. Every time I think of that incompetent, pious, peanut-shucking weenie I want to throw up. Until Comrade Clinton came along, there was no US president more worthy of being despised.
