read the last line of the article...they are already crying racism on the pending defeat...
With seven years service as a fellow naval officer you’d think Carter would STFU regarding McCain’s POW captivity.
A better example would be John "I was in Vietnam" Kerry. Now that was some milking!
Now having lost 50 pounds (23 kg), in a chest cast, and with his hair turned white, McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week. In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years. In mid–1968, McCain's father was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and McCain was offered early release. The North Vietnamese made that offer because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes, and also wanted to show other POWs that elites like McCain were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain turned down the offer of repatriation; he would only accept the offer if every man taken in before him was released as well. In August 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain. He was subjected to rope bindings and repeated beatings every two hours, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery. Further injuries led to the beginning of a suicide attempt, which was stopped by guards. After four days, McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession". He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine." His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. He subsequently received two to three beatings per week because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements.
And as evidence, Carter thinks the Presidential race is a dead heat in Georgia.
“he was bewildered” - jimmy carter
i think that sums him up, bewildered
Jimmah Carter, Naval Academy Graduate, who suppsedly served on a uclear powered submarine-NEVER SERVED on a ship. He went to Nuclear Power School after graduation but then was called out of the service because his daddy, the peanut farmer died and his mommy needed someone to run the peanut farm.

I’m on an Eddie Money kick today. There’s a line in a song of his ‘Broken Down Chevy’ that goes ‘what’s real, what’s fake these days you need a double take’. That’s the way it is with liberals and reality. They’ve accepted the lies and myths they’ve created as reality. And that’s left us with a very screwed up reality. Carter is the perfect example of this. Just about everything he did was a disaster. Now he acts like he some sort of know-it all statesman and the left portrays him as such. What a joke.
And who is milking their community organizer ‘service’.
Jimmah Carter never served his country a day in his life. He was a one man disaster that only was allowed one term because he was so inept.
Obama would be much the same as Jimmah. Obama will bring the US once again to the misery, and even worse, than Jimmah created.
When the people of the US were finally given a chance to rid themselves of the most incompetent fool that ever inhabited the Oval Office, they did with gusto.
Good riddance to truly bad rubbish.
They ALWAYS have a reason OTHER than the real reason, which is that their policies and worldview and plans for America are the suckiest suck that ever sucked.
Oh yeah! Well when Jimmy Carter was in the navy he would get sea sick!
Carter still can’t resist stepping onto traps, I see.
I was fortunate enough to be parish (county) phone bank chairman for Reagan in 1980 here in Ruston, LA. It earned me an invite to the 1981 Reagan Inaugural.
I can to this day recall the euphoria sweeping through our little HQ late that evening. The sick look on the face of Walter Cronkite. I think I recall this quote, “If the Reagan supporters aren’t opening the champagne bottles, it’s because they can’t find the bottle opener.” Or some such.
And I remember Tom Wicker. He looked like he wanted to puke right there on the live set.
God, it was marvelous knowing we were rid of Carter.
And don’t forget about peanut shell cuts!
Go change your diapers, you crazy old fool!
This despicable man, who soiled the uniform of a naval officer simply by wearing it, and by his simple existence has stained the US Naval Service.
Milking it? Where the HELL does he get off? That scumbag. I may not agree or even like McCain (He was my CO for a short period of time) but I give ALL of those men due respect for their sacrifice of time, blood and emotion in those hellhole prisons.
Carter didn’t have to languish behind locked doors eating maggot infested rice while his wounds festered and stank, and his limbs healed at bizarre angles.
Carter didn’t have to look at those wounds every day for years on end and wonder if he was going to be permanently crippled as a result, if they were indeed ever going to let him go, or were going to just kill him outright or by torture as happened to more than one POW.
That piece of human waste called Jimmy Carter should just shut his damned mouth.
