RENO, Nev. Former President Carter is urging northern Nevadans to elect his son, Jack, to the Senate to help combat a Bush administration he says has brought "international disgrace" to the country.
The former president told a crowd of about 300 on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno today that the nation is more sharply divided that it has ever been as a result of Bush's policies.
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, he says he's deeply embarrassed that the American government now stands convicted around the world as one of the greatest abusers of civil rights. He continued the theme in a dinner speech to 700 at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, saying every past president has been a supporter of human rights, until this one.
Jack Carter is bidding to unseat Republican Senator John Ensign. Both father and son said Ensign must go because he has voted 96 percent of the time with the Bush administration. They say that in addition to bungling foreign policy, Bush has cut taxes for the rich to the detriment of working Americans.
The former president say that Bush's policies have been a radical departure from what all previous presidents have done, including Republicans like Bush's own father, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower.
He says never before has the United States had a policy of pre-emptive war, as was the case in what he called an "ill-advised invasion" of Iraq.

And Carter knows Disgrace...
Carter is an expert at bringing 'international disgrace' on this nation
It is D E S P I C A B L E for the former President to spew such garbage.
"international disgrace" = leaving our citizens as hostages in a foreign country for 444 days
When I arrive,my bladder will be full.
When I leave,it will be empty.
I give you my solemn promise on this.
"He says never before has the United States had a policy of pre-emptive war, as was the case in what he called an "ill-advised invasion" of Iraq."
Its a new world, Jimma'. But a lot better than you left it, you peanutshell-suckin head. Go hammer a rafter together or somethin.
THIS from the man who left office with 20% inflation and 10% unemployment.
What a jerk.
I wouldn't trust Mr. Carter with a three-minute egg.
anyone know how to contact Mr. Carter?
email address for Carter?
BWAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA...Someone needs to put Carter in a home...it's obvious he's got Dementia.
Jimmah Catah...a National Disgrace for 20+ years.
Carter should pack up his crap and move to Cuba
Iraq was not a "pre-emptive" war at all. In fact, it was nothing more than a continuation of the original Gulf War, since Saddam time and time again violated the terms of the Cease Fire that put a halt to the 1991 fighting. We finally called him on those violations.
Pretty radical stuff for a Republican Senator to vote with a Republican administration. Guess they didn't do that during the Carter years.
How I long for the days, circa 1980, when the nation had not had time to forget and was united in knowing that this was the most revolting POS to ever occupy the White House.
Another ironic position by the dems. They disgrace our country and our citizens, but suggest that it is someone else doing the disgracing.
Pathetic.
Carter has brought U.S. American Disgrace!
They do need affordable housing there. I am so thankful this doddering old socialist fool is out there winning converts to conservatism each time he flaps his flabby wrinkled jowls to spew his insanity.
Projection.
This guy needs a psychiatrist.
