Are people starting to 'get it'? Jimmy Carter to Venezuela, Obama playing footsie with Russia, China and Iran. Clinton gave all our MIRV technology and God knows what else to China for campaign cash. . Is there a pattern here?

Well duh, they're all hard core Marxist/socialists/communists at heart. I'm hoping by November 4th every American will 'get it', be scared to death, and show up at dawn to Vote Every Democrat (Marxist) out of office. Then onward to planning for 2016. Can the country survive two more years?

I don’t mind if Carter goes to Venezuela. My objections would be if he decided to come back.

Just remember that Obama will also get to fly around on our dime with security on our dime(s) too... Of course that is believing that he will ever end his presidency or other type of rule at the end of his official term of office.

To show his support for Maduro? Maybe Jimmuh will disappear in Caracas.

I understand your thinking. I just have always hated Carter. I was only about 8 when Carter was elected. Trust me I hate Obama too, but there is something about “hating” somebody when you are a child that stays with you. They both suck big time!

“he’s going to try to rescue the communist regime he helped put in place”

Carter is a piece of work and no denying and undoubtedly likes “progressive/socialist” regimes, but how did he help to put the Chavez/Maduro regime in place?

Chavez was a young colonel or general when he attempted a coup in 1992 and was imprisoned by the Venezuelans for two years, he was elected president in 1998 and again repeatedly thereafter until his death.

Carter and his Carter Center personally "oversaw" the election that originally put Chavez in office.

The election was clearly rigged, yet Carter praised it and pronounced it a "model"...and approved the results.

Was The Election In Venezuela Stolen?

I hope Venezuelans aren’t going to fall for this Carter crap

They have every time so far, so here's hoping for a first time.

If Carter is going there Communism must be at risk of failing.

Anyway...where is Sean Penn when the utopia needs him? When the governments jailing and killing was more discreet he was all in.

Jimmeh supervised Venezuela's first two elections under Chavez and, subsequently, has continued to praise their patently rigged election system -- stating it is a "model" for the world.

Coincidentally, recall the stillborn Honduras coup in 2009 -- when Manuel Zelaya, the existing President, attempted to succeed himself even though it was against the Constitution.

Zelaya was sheltered and supported by Chavez. The Army arrested him shortly after he returned to Honduras from Venezuela (in a Venezuelan AF plane). And they found in his possession a laptop loaded with phony election results from every precinct in Honduras. The winner, of course, was Zelaya.

Hmmmmmmmm...wonder where that laptop came from...

“Carter is a piece of work and no denying and undoubtedly likes “progressive/socialist” regimes, but how did he help to put the Chavez/Maduro regime in place?”

He helped give legitimacy to “elections” that were fraudulent. Then, no matter what Chavez did, Carter kept silent or said little. He’s really a socialist at heart. As one very good family-friend of mine said one time when I was detailing all the ways that Chavez was making a dictator of himself, he said, with no emotion or change of facial expression, in a very simple matter of fact way: “Well, at least he’s a socialist.” They can excuse anything if its done in the name of socialism. That’s Carter.

He did the same for the dictator in Zimbabwe, and I know people who were in the know, from Zimbabwe, who told Carter how wrong he was about Mugabe. He didn’t want to hear it.
