Nope, I have NEVER voted for Jimmuh Carter and I have NEVER missed voting, in any election, since I turned 21; which used to be the legal age for a first vote. And since I was a registered GOPer ( and had been for years ), when Carter for president, he did NOT get my vote!
Jimmy Carter:
"The Best President Moscow Ever Had!"
Until Clinton came along, Carter held the title of "Worst President in History"!
And Billy made Jimmy look like a Piker.
Jack.
I didn't vote for that dipwad either!
Heck, the first time I ever voted was in the '68 election by absentee ballot.
I forget the exact number, but there was something like 47 candidates for president on the ballot!
Well, I didn't vote for George Wallace,or Shirley Chisholm, or Dick Gregory.
I voted for Dick Nixon!
He won!
Home mortgage rates also went above 10 percent at the time. I felt lucky to get a home loan at 8.5 percent.

Carter was imposed, during a long building National hangover- kinda like a drunk wakes up with a broken nose and a two-bit hooker robbing his wallet. Carter would be the hooker, for those in Point Arena.
Carter would qualify as the worst president ever.
No, the worse President ever was LBJ for the coup killing JFK, followed by Bill Clinton covering up terrorist attacks disguised as "conspiracies" which of course led to the attacks of 9/11 and the whitewash called the 9/11 commission, followed by Able Danger, Sandy Berger stuffing Top Secret documents in his underwear etc.
Carter was just an idiot.
Pushed the trash to the curb.
I am an American and was alive during Carters presidency.
It was a time of great embarasment for the majority of Americans.
Interest rates were at 18%, a small country, Iran, kidnapped an embassy of ours and all the folks inside. Business climate ws horrendous and then to make matters worse Mr. Carter saw fit to give away one of our most prized stratigic poscessions, the panama canal.
Carter, then like now preached to us like an old queen about his morals.
Throw in the rabid wabbit attack and his butt ugly wife and daughter and GOD knows it was not a proud time to be an American.
I have always thought America was the greatest place on earth, Mr. Carter made us all feel like we were less then others. Thank GOD for Mr. Reagan who came along and got us all feeling wonderful again.
As to how he got elected, it was a Nixon/Ford backlash thing, as far as I could see.
As bad as that guy was as president, he is even more of a disgrace as an ex president.
The only time that I heard him say anything that made sense was right after his defeat, when he said that 4 years of on the job training were not enough to qualify him for the presidency again.
I have always felt that Carter (more so than Clinton, despite what many FRers would protest) explicitly wore the "post-modern guilt-ridden self-loathing modern West" mindset to his sleeves. So much of what he did seemed to be to diminish what's unique about the United States of America in this postmodern age and making it just like yet another typical postmodern Western nation.
Of course Reagan had reversed much of it, and the whole world is all the better because of Gipper.
"Drive Less And Eat Less" didn't help GF. The Poland gaffe was harmful. And the Nixon pardon had a real stench for many people. GF just had more jerkiness in his package than many voters will tolerate. And the craziness, nastiness and stupidity of Jimmah were not known quanta in '76.
It all began in one of their debates when G. Ford said that Poland was free, Carter jumped on the statement, and the rest was history.
I was sitting in Berlin, watching the debate and knew it was over for Ford.
Then you don't understand Carter. The most deadly thing that Carter ever did was get through Congress an increase in the number of federal judges, and then to appoint doctrinaire liberals to all of those slots. FDR talked about "packing the judiciary"----Carter did it.
And it's been downhill for freedom ever since. Clinton just continued Carter's policies.
Carter WAS the worst president ever. LBJ was second, and Clintoon was third.
that was my first opportunity to vote in an election and boy did I screw up... sorry
"How could Carter become US president?"
As I posted in an earlier reply, it was all about Nixon, not Ford. The MSM had painted such a horrible picture of Nixon (and he did let things get out of hand as far as the coverup, etc. went) and the subsequent pardon from Ford, that a Republican couldn't find a dog in Washington let alone a friend.
Nixon put Carter in the White House. It remains the only thing I cannot forgive him for.

RE: Rickover Report on TMI
Former President Jimmy Carter
Dear Former President Carter,
Many of us have been impressed with your activities on behalf of Habitat for Humanity and for Conflict Resolution since leaving the presidency. There is only one large blot on your record, which distresses those of us who respect you, and that is the cover up of the Three Mile Island accident, and in particular the serious health damage done to the people who lived nearby. I was on the Citizen's Advisory Council to the Blue Ribbon Panel which you established to look into the accident. I, and indeed the whole panel, was dismissed when I asked the implications of having a staff cleared for security and a Blue Ribbon Panel which was not cleared, with the exception of Dr. Kemmeny who had worked on the Manhattan Project. The staff was able to withhold any information they wanted from the Panel under the guise of "classified for national security". Another Advisory Council member asked who was in charge during the accident. These two questions were enough to cause the dissolution of the entire panel. In fact, Dr. Kemmeny even stated publically that we had never been invited to Washington (although the Panel paid our air fare).
You were especially trust by the people because of your own nuclear background. You failed to deserve that trust. Can you not make it up now by joining with those of us who want the true documents released to the public? The nuclear industry has frustrated all of the serious health claims of the people, in spite of the Supreme Court's ruling. Their lawyers are gloating that they are "invincible" before the Courts because of their dirty tactics. Other countries find it hard to believe that in America the people cannot get justice after their experience!
Please put your moral authority to work to make the truth finally known!
Sincerely,
Dr. Rosalie Bertell, President
International Institute of Concern for Public Health Toronto, Canada

I have received a message indicating that President Carter may be able to release additional information on the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island. Based on work recently published by our group at the University of North Carolina I urge President Carter to make any such additional information available as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Having failed to snare the Nobel Peace Prize by ignoring terrorism, clinton has apparently decided to intensify his America-bashing on foreign soil, the method employed by Jimmy Carter to great (if somewhat belated) effect: Carter received his 1978 Peace Prize in 2002.
