And while we're on the subject of Soviet interventions in American politics, let's not forget that they also murdered a man who was likely to win election as President in 1988.

Who are you implying?

I can't believe I voted for this piece of crap.

You can be forgiven if it was in 1976.

I mentioned earlier that Nixon gave everyone in AMerica a giant pile of reasons to vote DEM. The error was understandable.

I think the results involved Sick being revealed as a pervaricator. Maybe we should convene similar hearings involving the accusations against Carter just to see if Carter could clear his own name just as convincingly.

Congressman Larry McDonald, who was murdered by enemies of the Constitution. He was aboard Korean Flight 700 that the Soviets shot down.

He was a true patriot and had presidential aspirations.

<< Things like this raise again the perennial question: Are the Democrats really stupid? or really evil? Or both? >>

"DemocRATS" are really evil people who make careers of lying to the really envious, the really greedy; the really dishonest, the really mean-spirited, the really enraged, the really hatred-driven -- and especially to the really stupid.

Not that any of that makes the really stupid any less evil than the really evil.

For evil is as evil does.

Ping.

The only good thing about Carter was riding the interest rates down in my mutual funds after Reagan got elected.

I still remember my hand shaking while I signed that 13-5/8% mortgage note.

I probably would have as well if not for a timely bit of intelligence I received before the election. My brother lived in Albany GA. (about 30 miles south of the fake Peanut farm) and was a frequent traveler to and from Washington DC. He kept running into Ralph Nader on the same flights going to and from Planes to "work" with Carter. Having indirectly dealt with Nader and his Socialist goon squads in the past, I was tipped off as to what to expect from the Peanut. I held my nose and voted for Ford and was not at all surprised at how completely both our domestic and international policy were screwed up by this clown after his administration got packed with various Nader Raiders and fellow travelers. After only 4 years, we were in deep-s**t trouble and I was pessimistic that we could ever recover. Thank God for Ronald Reagan. He did save us.

There is one very important difference. South Vietnam was an ally of the United States. The Soviet Union was the putative enemy of the United States. Also incumbent Democrat president was trying to undermine (backstab) an ally to help the Democrat Vice-President and presidental candidate Hubert Humphrey, while the Republican presidential candidate was promising to help an ally.

Basically true, but the actions of the Nixon campaign certainly did not help the thousands of US troops that died due to the stalling of peace negotiations.

Also, doesn't it violate the Logan Act for private individuals to negotiate with a foreign government?

Funny story:

My brother, the liberal, is a school teacher (surprise, surprise). When Carter was running against Ford, my Dad put a "President Ford" bumper sticker on the front bumper of my brother's car. You never look at your front bumper, my Dad told me. So my brother goes for several weeks with all of the other teachers at his school giving him the cold shoulder until he discovers the bumber sticker. Seems he always pulled in to his parking spot at his school and his car was aimed at the teachers lounge. Our Dad (RIP) was a great man, lifelong Republican, and the worlds greatest practical joker.

in 1984 the US WAS at war with Russia. Cold war. So I'd still call it treason.

Carter makes me sick. Behind that toOTHY smile is a mean corrupt SOB. And he can take that "I'm a Christian" line to hell with him.

Something horrible should happen to those politicians of either party who offer to sell the country out for votes and power.

His only good deed in my mind was his pounding nails for Habitat. His peanut profits were subsidized by Uncle Sam.

Larry McDonald was murdered in 1983. He was a congressman from Georgia who had presidential aspirations.

Although a democrat, he was as anti-communist as Reagan, and he was a constitutionalist.

Old news. Is that all you right wingers have. Try again. Oh, without the name calling that you ALL are doing so well.

Hey there. Well I'm born and raised in Bradenton (Manatee County) Florida. I've been in the wonderful part of Gods country for 51 years. I am a Baptist, and conservative, but not a way-out right-winger. Just common sense thinking. When voting I vote for the candidate not the party. I have two daughters in college and a son a senior in HS.
I like to fish. Good quiet time to think.

It's old news, huh!  Well my fine friend, while your sittin at your ole fishing hole, pondering your good fortune, there are old fools like me that are nursing old wounds, deep and dreadful wounds, from wars that kept your Bradenton (Manatee County) Florida homestead free.

I'm not complaining mind you, I would just like to make a point, without name-calling.  If this news, old or new, about a man, not just any man, one that held the highest office in the entire world, one that decides matters of the highest import to this nation, your nation and mine, collaborated with known enemies of our country, placing all of us in jeopardy, why aren't you as outraged as I am?

I reminded you of my service, not knowing whether or not you did the same. I mention it only to remind you that there are young men and women that take orders from the office that President Carter held. Those orders that our Commander in Chief pass down to his faithful troops, determine our fate, all of our futures, even the future of you, your wife, your beautiful daughters, and wonderful young son. Our President speaks, and military folks accept his word, believing that our lives are at great risk, but knowing that those young lives, as many of us know from personal experience, may be forever changed, or ..lost,  for a cause greater than ourselves.. A FREE AMERICA

Now I, and millions of others before me, perhaps even yourself, have to know that what we risk is worth something. Something more than an election, or an extramarital affair, or just to stay in power. We little people seldom find out when the highest levels of our government are truly corrupt, that when we do, as with Nixon in Watergate, and President Clinton with the bombings, timed to cover his sins, or selling our military secrets, and now Carter to stay in power, or to undermine our elections, as a traitor, we are outraged and expect everyone else will feel the same. If not, why not! Should we expect that?

Why then do you mock, we who are? You do have that right, many of us bleed and DIED so you could have that right, and many other luxuries.

Of course no answer is necessary, perhaps that is answer enough.
