The trouble with Carter
Toronto Free Press ^ | August 5, 2005 | Klaus Rohrich

Posted on 08/09/2005 9:28:54 AM PDT by MikeEdwards

Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer and former U.S. President, has a huge problem: his mouth. The things emanating from that orifice are bizarre in the extreme, considering that Carter was arguably the worst president in the history of the United States.

"...TheDemocrats could have run Mickey Mouse and won." Those were my words exactly at the time. Although I voted for Ford, I made a LOT of money betting on the Dem. candidate before the convention.

With all the Democrats had going for them in 1976, they still almost blew it.

As long as she is an incompetent president, Hilary will be inconvenient, but not very dangerous. It is if she is a competent president that we have to worry.

Both Carter and Clinton are embarrassments to the South and to the Baptists, who generally have a better handle on how the world really is.

I don't think that anyone blamed Ford for Vietnam -- his hands were tied by Congress anyway.

I don't think so either, at least consciously. I think it was more subtle, primitive and psychological, than obvious and political. Whether its an ancient tribe or a modern civilization, the head of government, after a defeat, will loose his crown or office. It's human nature. The complicity of congress is the real factor in the loss of Vietnam, but, deep down, Congress is not a head that will roll all at once. To the electorate, Ford was head of state when the state lost a war. He must go, even if the successor is an unknown.

I was there. People were insanely mad at Nixon and more insanely mad at Ford for pardoning him. A lot of people not just the extreme left wing felt this way. Carter was thought to be an honest man who would clear out the sleaze. I am not defending this I am just telling you the way it was. I didn't vote for Carter.

At least we were only fooled once (by 'we' I mean the country, not my family!)...thankfully he had his 4 years and then was kicked out on his lilly-white-Georgia-azz.

The Iowa Caucuses put Jimmah Cahtah in the spotlight. He won in Iowa because he swept a bunch of Polk County Courthouse Democrats off their feet and they controlled the caucuses. That's what happened.

The alternative was little Jerry Ford. He was a total loser
who cut a back room deal with Nixon. He was no more than
a political hack. None of us knew just how bad Carter would turn out.

I agree that Carter has become a totally worthless socialist
jerk. If my memory is correct, even Clinton didn't think
much of him. It can't get much worse tha that...

How do you figure that Clinton "inherited" the White House?

H. Ross Perot willed it to him.

And that, El Bucko, is the unvarnished truth, irrespective of what libertarian trolls like iconoclast would have you believe.

No Perot = No Clinton.

H. Ross Perot willed it to him.

But wouldn't that reasoning lead us to the conclusion that Bush inherited the White House from Nader?

No Nader = No Bush.

Odd days and even days for buying gas. . .by tag number.
Even numbers got screwed.

No Perot = No Clinton.

No Perot = two terms for pops.

A bigger, better head start on globalism.

More great legislation like the Handicapped (or whatever) Americans act.

Nothing wrong with dumping pops, except for nominating the sterling, ultra conservative Dole in '94.
