My first vote was for Carter. I was an eighteen year old Reagan supporter. I absolutely loathed Gerald Ford, who was a kinder gentler version of John McCain. Ford hated the conservative wing of the party. It was like having Boehner as president.

When Ford used his presidential clout to hold the nomination from Reagan, I jumped to Carter. Carter was loathsome, but he ran as the conservative in the race. That’s what a Rino Ford was. He even forgot Poland was communist during a presidential debate.

Four years later, we got the Gipper. If Ford had been re-elected, we’d have had Ted Kennedy in 1980.

Ford was an honorable man. Carter was a dope. You helped elect a dope. And you feel good about it?

Seriously? Do you know how much harm Carter did in the Middle East? You looked in your crappy little crystal ball and decided it was better to vote an F!n moderate liberal over a moderate conservative and you are proud of that? Wow.

God does indeed work in mysterious ways. Can you imagine what President Ted Kennedy might have done?

Maybe; Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (another alias), said that his greatest accomplishment in public office was John Paul Stevens.
