I voted for Carter. Still would have done it in ‘80. 4 years later RR did what he said he would do so I changed. Is this about me?

The GOP gave him the office in ‘76. Think Watergate. Gerald Ford couldn’t find Poland on a map. The only thing worse than the Robert Dole VP pick was the Nixon pardon. Carter will be remembered as a decent man. His POTUS failures will be forgiven by the MSM and a classy GOP reaction.

It was Carter who called Reagan a war monger. It was Rosylyn who claimed RR ‘made us feel comfortable’ with our prejudices.

Ford also screwed up the Swine Flu vaccine.

The gas shortage was caused by the Arab oil embargo following the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

A lot of the crap that is happening now with the Brandon administration reminds me of the Carter years.

“Why Jimmy Carter deserved my vote — and that of other Black Americans”

So did you still feel that way after his term was up?

It puzzles me that after Pres. Trump raised the standard of living for many blacks the majority of them (I believe) voted for Biden who has put many of them back in the basement.

I agree. Anyone that flew those early “Century” fighters deserves respect.

Carter is a racist (the idiot author apparently chose to ignore his infamous 1970 contest against ex-Gov. Carl Sanders) and virulent anti-Semite leftist who placed numerous judicial Communists on the federal bench. Absolutely rotten phony to his core and a very cold and calculating individual (he is not stupid as many think - he was a Wilsonian Communist himself). He played his role in turning America into the disaster it has become, and look forward to a full media canonization when he kicks off.

Unfortunately, it’s a voting pathology that has been in place for the better part of 60 years (and in the north, almost 90 years). It took decades to break the White affiliation with the Democrat party in the South (in some cases, 140 years). In many contests in the South in the 1930s, Whites voted over 95% Demonrat. The party used the same racist-scare tactics on Whites to keep them on the plantation as they do with Blacks today.

Barak was being mean when he referred to bitter clingers. That wasn’t too bad as he didn’t need to go as lower as the rest did. MSM covered for him.

Think ‘a fish rots from the head’ and my favorite ‘ a basket of deplorables’. It’s not good to go too deep but when a party can get away with calling us all racists they’ll keep going.

Not so. Thanks to Nixon’s abdication, the rat nominee, no matter who he was, was going to win in 1976.

Jimmy Carter is a racist. Did not like Israel either.

Roger is a moron.

And Carter was a peanut farmer in over his head, which he proved continuously in elected office and beyond.
