Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday he sees parallels between today's tea party and his own campaign for the White House in 1976. But he doesn't think the movement will be much of a factor beyond this fall's elections.
The Georgia Democrat told The Associated Press he rode a wave of voter discontent to the presidency on the heels of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal that felled President Richard Nixon, much like tea party conservatives are now earning support by voicing anger at the nation's economic woes.
Check out the rest at Breitbart.

Um....ok....
Seriously though, I think he might actually have a legitimate point, because I see the parallels too...
Thanks high school geometry!

You know that the ‘RATS have to be pretty desperate when they throw this old bone to their “media” dogs.

He’s got a point...after his disaster of a one term Presidency we elected Ronald Reagan to 8 years.

That is the lowest thing he has ever said. Not even close to being like you Jimmy.

Nope, the anaology is all wrong. Proper analogy would be Jimmy = Obama and the Tea Party/conservatives = Reagan.

In my mind.
Nobody knows how brilliant I was, but I know better.
I am (was) the greatest President - EVER.
Ronald Reagan was a joke. He should never have been elected.
I was and still am the Greatest Mind ever to occupy the White House.
Isn’t that right Rosaline?
