I missed out on Carter's presidency. I had just found computers, and was coding about 80 hours a week, for the better part of a decade, through him and most of Reagan.
... just explaining why I'm not responding much to your Carter dissertations ;).
Well, Trust me.... You didn't miss much in Jeema Catta. He was a complete an utter failure and his inability to lead this country, compared to Ronald Reagan's leadership abilities is what solidified my loyalty to the conservative movement. Reagan also taught me that winning back this country from the liberals wasn't going to be accomplished over night and to beware of those (.02%rs) who ignored this reality and they would do more to hinder the movement than help it.
