He is why I became a Republican!
It was the first time I voted, and the last time I voted for a Democrat!

There was a time when I thought of Carter as a well-meaning man who,as President,was simply over his head. However, in the last few years I've developed a contempt for him that rivals the contempt I have for Die Schlickfrau and Lord Teddy of Chappaquiddick.Dittoes. I had fallen for the "greatest ex-president" line. Now I see him as vainglorious and vindictive.

There are people arguing right now on another message board I post on that LAURA should give up her seat for Jimmy.
It's also been said that the US didn't have formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican during the Carter years and that's why Jimmy couldn't attend. Any truth to this?

DID THEY SUGGEST THAT CONDI SHOULD BE SENT TO THE BACK OF THE BUS???

"They said that about Condi? Really? They suggested a black woman give up her seat to a white southern male?"
Excellent!! Hadn't thought about like that!!

he sent his Mother and not a member of his administration to Pope John Paul I's funeral Like most sane people I thought Carter was the worst president in history (until x42 came along . . .). But it has to be said that sending your own mother to a funeral is not exactly showing showing disrespect. And it further must be said that John Paul I was pontiff for a relatively short time, and - at least partly for that reason - did not manifest the historic legacy that John Paul II has. Just as the funeral of Ronald Reagan was a bigger deal than that of Nixon, Truman, or even Eisenhower, because Ronald Reagan (with Thatcher and John Paul II) made his time more historic even than Eisenhower and Truman did.

Andrea Mitchell is Barbra Streisand on peyote. Thankfully, I'd put the coffee cup down before reading that...

Carter is why I became a Republican also! And I was a long time Democrat... from a long line of Democrats.
One day my husband had tons of work... one night in December Jimmy is on the tube and no work the very next day.
He should just drift into obscurity. Wave bye-bye to a nonentity.

Carter can go with the Cuban delegation.
To: Miss Marple
I remember gas lines, no Christmas lights, 18% interest on mortgages, giving away the Panama Canal, no Olympics, the betrayal of the Shah, the Iranian hostage crisis, malaise, etc.etc. etc. Exactly. Maybe we don't hate the 70s so much for the clothes as we do for the Carter Administration...

I think the clothes were a result of American society crying out for help. You will notice when President Reagan took office ther was a sudden dearth of leisure suits and banlon.

One word describes Jimmah:
STAGFLATION
Who is Andrea Mitchel married to? I keep forgetting...
To: EDINVA
"He can go to Rome on his own, but he can't go to the funeral without an invitation; it's 'invitation only' Mass with 200 nations being represented, mostly by their head of state"
He is more than welcome to stand outside with the common people!!

The more I think about it, I am certain I am right. We were all driven to despair by Jimmy Peanut, and just like those homeless crazy people that go around dressed as the Queen of Sheba or the Emperor of France, we were all wearing our funny suits in order to inflate our crushed national confidence.
And I won't even discuss the decor of the period. Shag carpet and flocked and foil wallpaper!!!
All Carter's fault, if you ask me.
To: SubMareener
When Jimmy Carter had a chance to go to a Papal funeral as President, he sent his mother! A rather small correction if you will allow. TWO Popes died during his term and he missed both funerals. Further he didn't establish formal relations with the Vatican and it took President Reagan to do so.
