The trouble with Jimmy Carter

Interesting background on this 1984 election results map, especially the part about Minnesota, Mondale's home state.

Mondale campainged in Minnesota exclusively for the last week to ten days, trying to fend off the humiliating embarassment of losing his own home state. (Gore did lose his home state of Tenn in 2000, btw.) After all that effort, Mondale won Minn by only 3700 votes.

We should trade Minnesota for a western portion of Canada. Minnesotians even talk like Canadians, eh?

Look on Carter as a blessing in disguise. Anytime anyone is tempted to voted for the Dimbocrats, just think of him. Just consider. If not for Bush41 failing to take on Clinton in 1992 and defeating him we would probably be looking at 25 straight years of Republican presidents. That would have topped the 20 years of Democratic rule from 1932 to 1952.

And BTW, I remember Carter all too well. He convinced me to change my party allegiance. The scales fell from my eyes during his miserable tenure in office.

the Nobel Peace prize also went to Yassar Arafat

The Nobel "Peace" Prize is a sick joke. IMHO the world would have been far better off it had a number of its recipients, and those who awarded it to them, been lined up on a wall and summarily shot instead.

Now let me tell you how I really feel...

[Vigilanteman]

Actually, Minnesota is trending right. Remember, Mondale, who was probably the best stand-in candidate they could field after the Wellstone plane crash in 2002, lost to Norm Coleman. Fritz even joked that he was the first major party candidate in history to lose elections in all 50 states. Like I said, he is very likeable. Had he been young enough to run in Kerry's place in 2004, he would have beaten GWB.

It is fortunate for the country that the RATs were stampeded into nominating Mr. Heinz-Kerry on the basis of a late winter poll which showed he could beat GWB on the basis of a manufactured war hero record just when Howard Dean imploded.

Had the RAT rank and file primary voters actually thought for themselves, they would have been in the whitehouse now.

Does it have to be multiple choice? Would you go for a tie??????

It amazes me that a former military man like Carter would aid the terrorists and attack his own country.

Deep religious devotion will trump a little military training every time, and Jimmy Carter is a devout Marxian. Since Marxianity requires the destruction of Capitalism, our somewhat capitalistic country has got to go...

I know he professed to be a Christian, but, like Islamists, Marxians are encouraged to lie if it helps the "cause".

[Sal]

If a Carter or a Clinton can reach the highest office in the land in spite of their glaring inadequacies, WE are in disturbing jeapardy. The notion of "only the best and the brightest" vaporizes.

Kakistocracy is rule by the worst among us--the least qualified and the most malignant toward what has made us great in the past.

[Sal]

Whenever Carter is mentioned in any context its like they [DUmmies] get down on their knees facing Georgia and begin bowing to him like the Messiah or something.

He is an icon of Marxianity and the DUmmies are all Marxians. (Yeah, I learned two new words today. ;^)

[Smartass]

THANKS FOR     THE PING

[Abathar]

LOL

[SICSEMPERTYRANNUS]

I've read somewhere that after Reagan was elected, Carter approached the Soviet Union, through back channels, with the request that they do what they can to minimize the damage he thought Reagan would cause. I believe this was Ann Coulters Treason

Easier to point out "What's right about Jimmah Carter?"

1. He was faithful to his wife.

2. He swings a mean hammer.

[Mogollon]

. Lyndon Johnson b. Jimmy Carter c. Bill Clinton d. All of the above

What's scary is that the rats just keep on trying to elect the same type of nitwit (e) Al gore, (f) John F'n Kerry.

[baseballmom]

The sad thing is that I voted for Carter the first time. Last time that I ever voted for a Dem president.

Ditto that.

[CBart95]

Sal! You old rascal. What is this? Get back to the NYT Crossword puzzel page. (You word-merchant).

We be talking "Man-talk".

My grocery check out cashier is named Kaki. She'll be delighted to know that her name will live forever in the annals of pointlessness.
PS: Sal,doggie: Stay on point lad.Marshall those thoughts squirling around in that keen mind.

[AmericanVictory]

He was the worst U.S. president in our history before Bill Clinton.

[fish hawk]

Does anyone besides me remember the joke that was going around when Jimmy was President? Goes like this:

Why is Rosalind always on top?

Because Jimmy can only screw UP!

[CBart95]

Well you and HighWheeler have this wonderful take that goes something like this:
"Yes. They were all a$$holes but, by God, right is right and might is might and somehow the good will prevail."
And Boys, I just really want to believe that it is so.
Yet, caught up in the notion of personal dominion I feel we ought to have caught on to them much earlier and trounced them every one.
Do we dare allow Queen Hillary and her soon to be appointed King of The UN,Bill to "do their thing" so we can sit here some Saturday in the future and tell each other how God is looking out for all of us?

[Kaslin]

I have to disagree with you. Jimmy Peanut Carter comes out by far as # 1 , Billy Jeff as # 2 and LBJ as # 3
