Carter warns against meddling in electionBY FILADELFIO ALEMAN Associated Press MANAGUA - Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that foreign governments should refrain from meddling in Nicaragua's presidential election amid local concern that outsiders were trying to influence the November vote.
The 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner was heading a delegation from the democracy-promoting Carter Center, based at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, to observe preparations for the election.
''The Carter Center vigorously opposes any intervention in the Nicaraguan electoral process,'' Carter told a news conference at the end of his visit.
Carter added that ``almost all the Nicaraguans whom we spoke to expressed their concern about foreign governments endorsing, vetoing or financing specific candidates.''
He did not elaborate.
U.S. Ambassador to Nicaragua Paul Trivelli has said Daniel Ortega, the candidate of the Sandinista party, represents antidemocratic tendencies. U.S. officials have suggested his election could cost the poor Central American country international aid and trade possibilities.
Meanwhile, leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has not hidden his enthusiasm for Ortega, who served as president from 1984 to 1990.
Carter has a close relationship with Nicaragua. As U.S. president from 1977 to 1981, he withdrew support from former dictator Anastasio Somoza, leading the way to a takeover by the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1979.
In 1990 Carter helped persuade Ortega to accept the election of Violeta Chamorro and leave power, and he has served as an observer in elections since then.
so carter wanting to keep that job for himself?
Carter is apparently not finished yet. Let's see, Iran, Liberia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba. What a wonderful man isn't he?
Carter should be in an old-folks home along with Clinton and Madeline HalfBright -- they could all sit around, make noises at each other, and figure out how to screw up America more than they already have ---
Did you see this?

Exactly. North Korea has the bomb and Iraq is going to have it. Both of them are in the position to hold the world at bay because of Jimmy Carter. Hasn't that idiot caused enough problems for one lifetime?
Who elected this guy?
I really think that Carter's schtick is to pretend to be a peace loving moron. I trully beleive this guy is a genius, and his avowed, though never mentioned, goal is to pave the way for the destruction of the United States.
And then when the communist strongmen have squandered all the resources and stolen all the money and left the country in poverty and ignorance then we can send them foreign aid.
Don't forget Cambodia, most of the killing was under Carter inattention.
Tell it to Al Gore.
Jimmy Carter warns against meddling???? LOLOLOLOL!
Carter is a stinking commie. And yet, the misinformed elderly in this country still see him as a "nice old man". He'd rob you blind for a vote.
ROFLMAO! No kidding!
Jimmy Carter's Killer Rabbit
Yeah, I flip back and forth on that one. He does more damage than Curly with a sledge hammer. It's hard to believe that stupid is the only reason. On the other hand, whenever he speaks, I can almost hear the Loony Tunes theme playing in the background.
He's still sore because Violeta Chamorro beat his boy in 1990, isn't he?
Wouldn't it be nice if he went down there and didn't come back?
"...from the democracy communism-promoting Carter Center..."
There; fixed it.
I googled The Carter Center. They describe themselves as a nonprofit public policy center. Perhaps their tax status needs to be reevaluated.
