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.

Ex-Prez Carter: Bush has brought U.S. "international disgrace"
Uh.. oh.....!! Did George take his pants off in the Oval Office????
Yep, we're disgraced alright...And since we're so disgraced in the eyes of the world, I assume that other countries won't take any more money from us. After all, we're so disgraceful...Who would want money from a disgraceful nation?
Ex-Prez Carter is a "national disgrace".
There, that's better.
Carpetbagger.
I have been looking an the only thing I can find is a snail mail address to the Carter Center.
He was a bad President. Why would you expect more from him as an ex-President? Same for Clinton.
That would be the Cahtah Centah in Peanut, Georgia.
There once was a President, Carter
Got advice on the world from his daughter
But the poor girl was twelve
So her father was shelved
But to the Left he's a saint and a martyr
Apparently he forgets the time he sold out the Shaw in Iran. Or ignored Soviet Aggression in Afghanistan. Or tried and failed to rescue hostages in Iran.
We are STILL paying the price for these boneheaded decisions.
My father a;ways referred to Carter as Jimmy Do-nothing.
Jimmah's love affair with Hugo Chavez is an International Disgrace.
When I arrive,my bladder will be full.
Get in line, pal...

ooooohhhh...that pic is gonna leave a mark...
'Course, there's a pic somewhere showing Carter with every communist despot on the planet. They're his heroes.
Yes Carter with Fidel are also classic ones.
These words are from the Worst President ever.
Look at Iran . thanks to Jimmy Carter we got the first Islamic Terrorist Goverment ever. They created Hezbollah, Hamas and Fund millions and weapons to Sadr in Iraq.
Afghanistan , where against Jimmy Carter supported with money and weapons the goverment that later became the Taliban.
North Korea where against Bill Clinton wishes he gives another terrorist billions.
Helped with China aid Pol Pot and got his goverment into the United Nations.
Jimmy Carter go work for another country PLEASE.
Cyrus Vance said that if Jimmy Carter would have won a second term he would have screwed Israel
No wonder your son has no chance
