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.”

Why doesn’t this ol’ fart just die already.
Even Jimmy is capable of stumbling upon a truth.
Broken clock for Carter.
“bribery” on so many levels their past counting...
Maybe the “the People” are corrupt....
and the givernment just reflects that..
AND will reflect that no matter what “WE” do..
If that is true.. then the sheeple are sick..
givernment has no option except being corrupt..
AND a conservative is a extremely RARE thing..
Who really gives a rats ass what Jimmy says?
Sadly Jimmah is right for once in his miserable life.
I told my US rep in townhall meeting a couple of years ago that we had turned into an oligarchy. He denied it but he knows.
broken clock twice a day
Carter has taken millions of dollars selling out to the islamonazis. So he knows something about disloyalty and the role of foreign money.
Jimmy who? Did this “man” ever matter.

He’d make good fertilizer for our beautiful southern ‘mater plants.

They must have really goosed his electro convulsive shock voltage.
A blind squirrel finds an, ahem ACORN once in a while.
We blame people in government for the corruption because they got too much money
The Left blame private citizen for the corruption in government because they have too much money
Even Jimmy is capable of stumbling upon a truth.
...
It’s the end of times. I agree with him on something.
He would know.
When is Carter giving the money back?
