Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an oligarchy in which unlimited political bribery has created a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.

The GOPe are the Rats partners and in some ways worse, because they deceive their voters.
How does that saying go?
If you are young and conservative you (supposedly) have no heart. If you are older and liberal you have no brain. If you are ancient and finally stumble on a clue you are jimmy carter....
The people are corrupt. Half the population takes from the other half and the 1% liberals dump on the working half to keep them pschologically broken so the will continue to pull the plow.
The elites have figured out that they can pretty much get away with anything. Generationally Americans are stupider than they’VE ever been. Unless and until we do something about to nothing changes.
Are you disagreeing with what Carter is saying?
This guys like soros he never dies, die already
Soros ? No problem, would his departure on this coming Wednesday be Ok or did you have another date in mind ?
The country owes Carter thanks for giving us Reagan. If Ford had won, we’d be full Marxist by now.
We are so outnumbered.
Hate to say it, but electing another Clinton or Bush would just prove his point.
Or a Walker or a Rubio or ...
> Jimmy jumps in whenever he thinks 0bama may take his place as the worst president in US history.
Jimmy can’t even come close though the Dems and libs will praise The One as the greatest human being the earth has ever created unable to admit he was the worst, evil, and corrupt president that the U.S. has ever experienced. They will never say or admit it but they know.
Or a Walker or a Rubio or ...
Quite surprised he made it THIS far.
His book publisher.
Walker and his pal Reince are as GOPe as you can get.
Blind squirrel, meet nut.

I think that’s one good reason why we need someone that is independently wealthy and INDEPENDENT. Someone that wants to see America great again and does not hesitate to use his mouth to put down the opposition.
Gee, I wonder who that could be?
I never thought in all my years that I would agree with jimmah on anything, but here it is. It just happened.
inept. incompetent. wishy washy even. He always has been honest however.
