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.

This old peanut picker is about to get on my last nerve..I was not in the states when this joker was elected President..as a matter a fact I knew nothing about him except for the European's view and i can tell you he was laughed at back then no matter what the MSM said about the way Europeans felt.. by the time we came home Carter and his little peanut picking family was on there way out and Ronald Reagen was on his way in.. class was restored to the white-house..So I guess you could say that is when my political interest started..

What was pre-emtive about it? The guy was actively engaged in hostile action against US forces. Just ask Clinton.

Jimmah Carter was a fool in the 1970`s and he remains a fool today.

[newcthem]

American only has a couple of "international desgraces" X-president DoLittle being one.............Asshat Jimmy being the other.

[Gorzaloon]

Any demented washed up has-been who spews what the MSM wants will be given unlimited air time and press space.

Carter is no better than a mumbling wino. It is just that few people remember his name.

[litehaus]

Apparently he knows "projection" also.............LOL

crowd of about 300

" . . . he's deeply embarrassed . . . "

I was deeply embarrassed when this dim bulb was President.

Sorry, 4integrity, I could find no direct link to contact Jimmy Carter via email. The only link seemed to be through the www.cartercenter.org Interesting that Jimmah ducks for cover after shooting his big mouth off to the world, without having to endure any criticism. I really hate this guy!

How about how divided the nation was in 1980, when this leftist tool was kicked out of the oval office on his scrawny, rabbit fearing @$$?

Too bad that we no longer have Vaudeville.

There, when a bad actor stayed on the stage too long, they would "give him the hook" and yank him off stage.

It is past time for this Dumbass to get off stage,

GIVE HIM THE HOOK!

Jimmy Carter was and is a conoisseur of incompetence, banality, bad taste and self-promotion of qualities he did not have. Easily the WORST president of the 20th Century (Warren Harding was accomplished by comparison) and perhaps the worst of those to date.
