Jimmy Carter has accomplished more in his lifetime than all of the posters on this board combined, including myself, will ever accomplish.

Take a good look at yourself before you start criticizing this man.

insipid, banal and generally kinda stupid

first thoughts on first trip to a republican discussion.

But don't worry, I won't sully your 'conversations' again. One can only take just so much of simply another of the failed branches of humanity.

Does this mean Bush can run again in 2008?

Anytime I read Jimmy Carter's opinions I just think back to when he lit the White House Christmas tree for 417 seconds, one second for each day the hostages were held in Iran. Nice Foreign Policy, Jimmy!

I also think of the Saturday Night Live sketch in which Dan Ackroyd played Jimmy doing a call-in radio show.

Personally, I think Jimmy is bitter for not being asked by Bush to be part of the tsunami/hurricane relief efforts.

Charles: are you thinking about Dick Cheney or Karl Rove?

Damn, but that's disappointing.

the current administration has (not almost) put the country in bankruptcy. just look at the unprecedented rise in in the national debt during the less than five years this administration has been in office.

were the problems in the mid-east caused by bringing pres. anwar sadat of egypt, and menachim begin together for the camp david accords in 1977?

and yes mr. cooke, jimmy carter deserves lots of thanks for being a great american!

ah yes, this from the man who all by himself and his party almost put the United States in bankruptcy and caused the problems we now enjoy in the middle-east. thanks a lot cotton brain.

Jimmy Carter monitors elections though out the third world. He should know a rigged election when he sees one.

"How can anyone take this silly man seriously anymore?" When did anyone take him seriously before? Since those 5-8 months in 1976, anyway. "There is no doubt that more Floridians voted for Gore in 2000 than for the other guy." Actually, there is considerable doubt. One of many problems in the recounts is that the recounters dont just add up the votes again. There were double votes, no votes, votes not punched through, etc. Could it be said that most people who did vote, MEANT to vote for Gore? Maybe. Could it also be said with the same accuracy that most of the people in the panhandle who didnt vote because the media said the polls were closed would have voted for Bush? Maybe. "But with Republicans in charge of the process they gave the election to Bush. That is non-controversially true." Actually, Democrats were in charge of the process, at least in Florida, especially in the disputed counties. If the rules said only a VALID vote counted, there wouldnt have been so many problems. After the election was said and done, a number of newspapers got together and did recounts themselves under a number of different conditions. Most times, Bush still won. Less times, Gore won. Which condition should have counted should there have been a actual recount? Depends on who your for, I guess. Another truism is that one says something like "That is non-controversially true." it usually isnt.

Well now, besides the whimsical patrons of republican lovers crying "partisan""calling jimmy brainless", and the ever so "get over it" edit, we must realize that we are in a time of trouble overseas, dishonesty, a possibility that tax cuts will have to be scrapped, along with all the other things, so we can borrow and spend due to a failed administration plan. ...ah them plans of ours...

And you take time to tally who won. With so much pride at that...that dear republican pride...

Especially the one claiming Jimmy is responsible for the trouble in the middle east.

hmm, yeah there is a change a coming. I believe it will be for the better...dem-de-la- rim-me

The only reason anyone would follow Jimmy Carter is strictly out of curiosity. He may be the most failed President of the 20th Century. When faced with a crisis, he hid out at Camp David for two weeks and came down and announced the government was OK. It was the people of the country that were wrong. Double digit unemployment. Interest rates approaching 20%, and a President trapped in the Rose Garden with no idea for a solution. Why does anyone pay any attention to this man? Oh, I forgot. He is an amateur carpenter.

The only way the Democrats can gain any power is to deleigimize, by any means to hand, incluing lying, the Bush victories.

Sgt Fluffy's point is right on the money, and reveals Carter as just another socialist hack.

I think the bigger issue is what should happen, in honest government, when you have a 50:50 vote split. I think an honest and moral leader would take that as a mandate for moderation. He would recognize the basic division in the country and attempt to find a path acceptable to the bulk of the nation. He would not pretend he had an extremist mandate, and run with it.
