Carter is an abomination! He is a spineless, looser and defeatist! He is in Birmingham England today doing his thing, condemning us. He can only spew is how bad the United States is and what an evil country we are. He criticizes not some things but everything that we do. The worst part is he goes around the world and shoots of his mouth! Dose he have no pride? I guess he does that because they are looking to do the same thing, to smear America. Nobody here cares what Carter has to say; he is just like his presidency, "irrelevant". He was bad for America but great for the banks. Interest on home loans got as high as 18% and car loans were over 12% I believe. Thank God he only served one term, that was more than enough, anymore and he would have bankrupt us and turned this great country into what all liberals strive for, an unimportant and irrelevant country.
Just an afterthought. Carter is now building housing for the poor. When he was the president the poor and a lot of middle class couldn't afford housing. How ironic!!!

Has anyone seen the latest letter to the editor by Jimmy Carter to Zell Miller supposedly printed in the Journal Constitution? I'm trying to obtain permission to reprint in our papers in Maryland. Any suggestions out there? We need to stand strong now to get Bush out!

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback; I’d like to refer you to the final paragraph of my post.

(BTW, if you’re trying to win over a centrist audience with your argument, then digresionally suggesting that the USA’s most popular living ex-president is its biggest embarassment isn’t an excellent way to achieve it).

How about I point out Jimmy Carter reduced our military to a point of such extreme weakness that Soviet Bloc countries had actually considered and made plans to attack us. When our citizens were attacked and kidnapped in Iran Jimmy Carter did nothing except embarrass the country with an ill planned ill executed non attempt at a rescue. Oh by the way he refused the generals request for adequate equipment to pull off the rescue. Extreme inflation, record high interest mortgages. Jimmy Carters technique for negotiation is give the opposing party anything they want. ie: Haiti in 94-95. The only bigger embarrassment to this country has been Bill Clinton. Jimmy Carter need to go back to his fields and stay there. This country could not withstand his policies again. I am sorry to say and ashamed to admit he is from the same state I am.

You could also point out that rather than being the waffling wimp he's generally portrayed as, he was once the captain of a nuclear submarine, a fairly nerve racking job at that time, for everyone else as well.

A bit too neoliberal for my liking though.
