It is amazing

[MinorityRepublican]

I saw him at his wife’s funeral. You could see that he was just holding on.

[1Old Pro]

He’s like a Dem officeholder.

In before the “Carter was our worst US president” ignorant statements.

Carter doesn’t even make the top 5.

Anyway - God Bless him.

[MayflowerMadam]

My MIL was in Hospice for two years.

[wardaddy]

I bet half this forum supported him in 76

A diff world then

Spoke with a hospice nurse who told me her theory: Getting the cocktail of prescription drugs out of some people’s systems actually brings back their normal immune system and can prolong life.

Carter was not our worst. He used to be. But he has been far surpassed by the likes of Obozo and LGBFJB.

Its BS. He wasn’t a Hospice patient in the first place. He just got the VIP nursing home experience with unlimited drugs and round the clock nursing for free.

[waterhill]

My ex was a hospice RN. This is true.

“ He’s like a Dem officeholder.”
Yep. I believe the reason that they hold on so long is they are terrified of meeting the Lord face to face.

I saw him at his wife’s funeral. You could see that he was just holding on.

Honestly, I would not have been surprised if he passed within a week or two of his wife.

He's on the Lord's time and he'll leave when called.

Don’t be silly. He was a dumbass from day 1. Everyone knew it in 1976. We were just pissed about Reagan. But no one was pissed enough to vote for the Peanut Man.

[RasterMaster]

They keep him in the fridge until they can accommodate another state funeral.

[usafa92]

Bingo. You are correct. He was never terminally ill at the time he was put into hospice. He is just getting 24x7 at home nursing care.

[Responsibility2nd]

I warned about ignorant statements. I did.

He used to be??

I guess Lyndon Johnson was before your time. But read up on him. He makes Carter look like a Sunday School teacher. Which he was.

[Lou L]

Carter was not our worst. He used to be.

I believe that when it came to running the country, being executive in stature, he did a poor job. I always believed his heart was in the right place though, he loved our country.

Many Democrats today, particularly Obama and his ilk, despise the country. They want to turn it upside down and re-make it into some liberal utopia. The want the United States to take a back seat, to turn our standards down a few notches.

Carter was relatively harmless.

Wilson, FRD, LBJ, Obozo, Bidet were far worse.

[Responsibility2nd]

I turned 18 in 1976. I proudly supported Ronald Reagan way back then.

[cgbg]

FDR, oops.
