Jimmy Carter Thinks America Is Ready for a Gay President

[lbryce]

Trying to be cooler than Bill Clinton, former President Jimmy Carter says that he thinks America has taken great strides in accepting homosexuality and that the country is ready for a gay president. Barney Frank just formed an exploratory committee.

[Gene Eric]

Okay Carter, what is the defining characteristic of male homosexuality and why is that important to you?

[Truth is a Weapon]

Yes, some would say that. But with his low approval rate, does America accept him?

[Mr. Silverback]

Don’t watch South Park...can you elaborate?

[Ol' Sparky]

I thought we already had one in the White House right now.

[GSWarrior]

Gay president? What does Jimmy Carter have against lesbians?

[JSDude1]

NO, we are not-and on the world stage, this would only encourage more sabre-rattling if not all out war against the USA (and our allies)! Thanks, Jimmy!! (Supposed Christian; maybe you ought to go back and read Romans).

Jimmy Carter Thinks America Is Ready for a Gay President

But only if he is a Democrat.

[texson66]

No, no, Jimimie!

America is ready for a black, lesbian female with a hyphenated Hispanic and Croatian family name. If she’s muslim and handicapped, even better! /sarcasm off>

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The presidency is not a symbol. It is a very difficult job that no one has been able to do well for a long time. It is not for getting rid of White Guilt or proving to the world that we are all ssssoooooooo open-minded and tolerant.

I vote for a person based on his/her abilities and don’t give a hoot about his/her sex, sexuality, race, religion or native language.

It’s the left that is obsessed with identity politics.

[baltoga]

Well if a gay president can put a plug on spending I’m all for it.

[Joya]

As an 18 y.o. kid I thought Jimbo Carter was a fraud and a twit, even back then I was smart enough to vote for Gerald Ford.

34 years later, he’s still a twit.

[camerongood210]

Hey, Jimmy. Get with the times. We already have a gay one in the WH.

[allmost]

Midget. You missed the ‘little people’ because your head altitude makes you a gravitationally enhanced bigot. :)

[AFreeBird]

Oh He’ll No!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...does America accept him?

It doesn't matter.

He won.

[SmithL]

Lillian! You Fool! You should have stayed a virgin.

[MissTed]

LOL!! Off to right-think camp for me!

[elhombrelibre]

He wasn’t?

[Dixie Yooper]

I Believe Larry Sinclair

[Joe Boucher]

E. Pluribus,
Would you bet your Alaska farm that Obammy has never been with another man?
