If you recall, liberals got John Anderson to run as an independent to pull Reagan votes away and get Carter elected. It still didnt work.
Yep. You two beat me to it.
He was the Mike Pence of 1980.
I liked the country singer John Anderson a lot better.
NO.
What I want, is for Tom Goldstein, who is still alive and well, to give up Ron Klain when he DIRECTED Al Gore to IGNORE Bush v Gore and drive the United States into an unfathomable constitutional crisis:
"Bush v. Gore was a muddled opinion, which took some time for Gore’s team to work out on a conference call...One man wanted to keep going, though: Klain. He refused to give up, and spent the night of the decision drawing up legal papers in the hopes that the Florida Supreme Court might establish a uniform standard, thus satisfying the 14th Amendment problem."Early the next morning, Gore and his lawyers convened for another conference call.
“Then proceeded the most fascinating kind of historic thing that I have ever been witness to,” Tom Goldstein, an appellate attorney who participated in the Bush v. Gore argument, told me a few years ago. “It was the debate and discussion about whether to adhere to the Court’s decision, which was really, really, really interesting. There was a debate back and forth between the people on the call about whether to fight notwithstanding the Supreme Court, and insist that the Court had effectively tinkered with democracy. It was a real conversation. And it was a real conversation that lasted 20 minutes.”
Proj. Veritas should punk Klain by surreptitiously interviewing Goldstein about that fiasco. It's plain that Klain's megalomania shook Goldstein.
And 20 years later, the dumb kracker is running the country."

Wow really? What a piece of trash article. Barnes doesn’t show proof of the so-called Iranian deal and SAYS he has no proof or direct knowledge of such. Then the slimes goes and says it can find no proof that the people that took trips to the Middle East went to Iran or met with Iranians. Oh but they’ve got hard proof that they took those trips so what Barnes says must be true?!
BS. Let’s talk about holding back the release of the Covid vaccine INTENTIONALLY until after the election? People DIED because of that.
But hey - let’s rehash the old stupid leftist lie that Carter would’ve won if only it wasn’t for this one dirty trick to block him from getting the hostages. Some of us were alive at the time to remember that Carter intentionally ordered a rescue mission that was doomed to fail to save his campaign.
And given how I’ve seen the FBI and CIA work today don’t try to tell me that the daily wall to wall coverage of the hostage situation wasn’t a planned op to get Americans to rally and support Carter during his election season when his popularity was near zero and to stop the press from reporting on real news of the day as America’s economics numbers tumbled ever lower.
You want to bring down The White Hospice? This would be ONE HELL OF A START!
This is the same argument made by Gary Sick and the Christic Institute over 30 years ago.
So they’re rehashing that old story again...that Reagan made a deal with Iran not to release the hostages until after the election.
High unemployment rates
Double digit inflation.
Lines at the gas pump.
Morgage rates approaching 20%
Signing over the Panama Canal to a man who stole the election of that country.
Institution of the Federal Department of Education.
Just a few quick highlights that guaranteed Carter would not win reelection.
Shoot - got stopped by a paywall.
Thank you. That worked. :)
“Mr. Barnes is no shady foreign arms dealer with questionable credibility, like some of the characters who fueled previous iterations of the October surprise theory... He was such an influential figure that he helped a young George W. Bush get into the Texas Air National Guard rather than be exposed to the draft and sent to Vietnam. “
So in other words, he’s tried this crap before and been disproven.
Peter Baker apparently never sat in an hours long gas line, paid inflationary prices, saw Russia invade Afghanistan, put up with the Iran hostage daily nonsense for 400+ days, endured lousy court appointments, or listened to a sanctimonious phony who won the presidency on a pack of lies about what a wonderful person he was. The same man who blocked a predominantly black school from being built near his home in Plains when he served on the local school board.
My mom kept a written list of things Jimmah screwed up. She said there were too many to keep track of without the list.
