JIMMY CARTER CELEBRATES 80TH BIRTHDAY

Friday, October 01, 2004

Today on his 80th birthday, former President Jimmy Carter speaks out about how Presidential campaigns have changed since he ran for re-election in 1980. He says, "I never referred to President Reagan or President Ford as anything except by distinguished opponent. And if I had orchestrated directly or indirectly a personal attack on their basic character, it would have been suicidal for me."

The former President went on to say leaving office at 56 years old gave him time pursue other projects. While working for international human rights, Mr. Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Liar. You called Reagan a warmonger at just about every opportunity.

This crabby old phart will probably live to be 100. And the worst part is we'll have to listen to him for another TWENTY years!

Like selling his country out to the Chinese and North Koreans.

Jimmmuh found plenty of other ways to destroy his and America's credibility. Perhaps if he hadn't been so polite Americans wouldn't have been kept hostage for 444 days. What a pathetic loser.

Happy Birthday. Congratulations. Good on you.

NOW will you refrain from coddling and emboldening America's enemies for a while?

But now its OK to make clever little smears regarding the president's Nat'l Guard service, or rub bellies with the #1 character assassin of our time (who happens to call himself a film maker)?

Whats changed, Jimmeh? Bust your moral compass?

Tell me another one, ya old fraud.

I'm an agnostic. The continued existence of this POS is strong evidence that there is no god.
