How did this turkey ever get elected?

It is no wonder the American people returned him to the private sector in 1980.

Whoever coined the term "useful fool" must have had Carter in mind.

This blithering idiot should shut his mouth - I am so sick of this one-worlder, UN loving, America-bashing peanut farmer. His presidency was a failure and an embarrassment.

He got elected on the anti-republican backlash from Watergate.

Amazing that this guy, who sat back and watched while the Mullahs in Iran took our hostages and then beckoned the present era of terrorism by fumbling our military resolve to address the situation, can look the world in the face and blame the situation on Bush.

And I suppose those Iranian students were just out for a good time?

Bush is responsible? Bull.

Carter sounds more and more like the Gorby clone he is.

Dem hopeful Howard Dean has called former President Jimmy Carter to give updates, ask questions and seek advice, TIME magazine is planning to report on Monday.

The magazine asks Carter about the former Vermont governor's chances of winning the 2004 Presidential race: “He seems to be doing quite well. He came down to Georgia when he was just planning the campaign and talked to me and my wife about the basic tactics of ’76. On occasion, he has called me to give me a report on his campaign or to ask a question.”

Drudge

From one loser to another.

Yank his passport. He's illegally portrayed himself as an official representative of the US Government many times.

Can't recall the name of the Act that authorizes it.

The irony is that Bush has done more to advance the concept of Palestinian autonomy (leading to independence) thatn peanut-brain ever did.

I'm with you...why don't we start calling these liberals for what they really are...socialist anarchists who are against any form of democracy and the leaders of the free world.

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, blamed US President George W. Bush for anti-American sentiment and worldwide terror.

Bush, a distinguished gentlemen of the highest honor for American security, ought to shove his shiny boot up Jimmy's prize.

Jimmy Carter.. take your white flag and go back to your peanut farm, you sucked at defending us against foreign enemies and you suck at being an American. What a disgrace. I hope his recent quote goes into children's history books for future generations to remember him by.

Historically, former presidents didn't criticize sitting presidents. Clinton, and now Carter, shows the RATS don't care about dignity and respect.

While I never liked Jimmy Carter as President at one time I felt he was at least a decent sort of chap. That is until he renounced his membership in the Baptist Church because they wouldn't support homosexuals and his hanging out with left wing dictators. I guess he would rather have the Nobel Peace Prize than dignity.

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Hmmm. Is this the Jimmy Carter

who confirmed to then-New York mayor Ed Koch that Carter, if reelected, would "sell out" the Jews

or the peanut President who

according to investigative journalists Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, Carter, at a March 1980 meeting with his senior political advisers, angrily snapped, "If I get back in, I`m going to f--- the Jews."

He's showing signs of dementia. Time to lock him up for his own safety.

Carter in 1976 debate with Gerald Ford:

"Under the last Democratic administration 60 percent of all weapons that went into the Middle East were for Israel. Nowadays - 75 percent were for Israel before. Now [under the Nixon and Ford administrations] 60 percent go to the Arab countries, and this does not include Iran. If you include Iran, our present shipment of weapons to the Middle East, only 20 percent goes to Israel. This is a deviation from idealism; it's a deviation from a commitment to our major ally in the Middle East, which is Israel; it's a yielding to economic pressure on the part of the Arabs on the oil issue; and it's also a tremendous indication that under the Ford administration we have not addressed the energy policy adequately. We still have no comprehensive energy policy in this country."

" . . . in 1975, we almost brought Israel to their knees after the uh - Yom Kippur War by the so-called reassessment of our relationship to Israel. [The Ford Administration] in effect tried to make Israel the scapegoat for the problems in the Middle East. And this weakened our relationships with Israel a great deal and put a cloud on the total commitment that our people feel toward the Israelis. There ought to be a clear, unequivocal commitment without change to Israel.

Now Carter and his gang of like-minded leftists are making Israel the scapegoat for the turmoil in the Middle East. How times change . . .

I thought the Arab refugees left what was then the Jordan West Bank BEFORE the '67 war anticipating to return to not only the Jordan West Bank but also to the land that used to be Israel. Things didn't quite work out the way they thought they would. Has Jimmy Carter EVER been correct about anything?

I used to think Jimmy Carter was a nice, if misguided, man.

I now see that Jimmy Carter is Clinton without the hard-on.
