How the hell was Carter ever elected president?
Unresolved rage at the Nixon administration, and widespread Main-Stream Media condemnation of a good but not especially assertive man, Gerald Ford. If Ford so much as stumbled, snide remarks of "Playing football without a helmet" were repeated again and again.
Why do you think that So. Baptist are so pro conservative and Republican today????? Because we voted for Jimmy and what we thought was his Evangelical faith. Sure cured me!!!!!!!
Because conservatives stayed home thanks to the hapless and equally inept Ford.
How the hell was Carter ever elected president?
1. Because after the Clintons helped crucify Nixon for little to nothing offenses no one would be caught dead voting repub.
2. T.Kennedy killed a girl and screwed his POTUS shot.
3. Good ol southern boy who farmed peanuts, but later everyone realized his family got wealthy on nut subsidies. Agriculture has yet to recover from that reputation.
