Jimmy Carter

I have been a supporter of Jimmy for many years. As a Republican I voted for him the first time. After all he was a good Sailor, southerner and a Christian. But his latest statements that Trump is an Illegitimate president and torturing children at the border are far out.
I don't think he is senile, but something is wrong.

I have a problem with the millions of $ and time spent investigating and still someone can state 'Russia put their man in'.

Anyway I am finally through defending the old guy.. I have always said the military let him down on the hostage crisis and he was a failure as a president because his own congress would not back him, etc.

But I have now joined the ranks of 'Jimmy was the worst president ever.'

BUT as a qualifier I am not sold on Trump for re-election. It is according who Russia supports next time and who runs against him.......

I still have hopes of his just stepping aside even after he has announced....

But most of all I am very disappointed in the good old boy,Jimmy from Plains..

He doesn't necessarily have to be senile, but he is 94. That is really, really old and folks of that age have usually suffered significant cognitive decline even if they're otherwise healthy and independent.

Maybe he's 100% in command of his faculties and knows exactly what he's saying, I don't know.

It's unfortunate to hear him say these things, at any rate.

Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat that we voted for. I don't how he can still remain in the Democrat party that believes in abortion and a homosexual lifestyle + much more.

Jimmy's problem is that even many Dems still don't like him. It just hit me today, this may be a year for a great independent...... Nah... WHO anyway? Embarassed

The time of Carter was not nearly as polarizing. There were a lot of southern democrats in those days. There were some conservatives in the democrat party. Some pro-life folks. This is not your grandma's democrat party. Those days are LONG gone!

Seems now everyone wears their politics on their sleeve. How did we get to this point? I will blame social media for much of it. The 24 hour news cycle deserves partial blame. I think the bigger issue, though is the evolution of both parties. The democrat party has evolved into a socialist party. The republican party has become more conservative, but I believe the AWARD for extreme goes to the democrat party.

Whatever the cause is, I don't think we can go back but I do feel that a third party made up of moderates from both parties MIGHT go a long way to help ease some of the tension on these two sides. Both sides need the wind pulled out of their sails because they are BOTH too powerful! As mamma said, "they have gotten too big for their britches"

The current issues with Iran ...

The current issues with Iran lead directly to Jimmy Carter - he forced the Shah out and paved the way for the Ayatollah to return and take power. Carter's weakness and fear started the downward spiral we find the Middle East in today. Like many liberals, he would trade American wealth, freedoms and lives to please the liberal elite globalist. If we are ever hit by an Iranian nuke, Jimmy Carter will be its father.

If you keep repeating a lie long enough.....

These politicians will stick to the script, no matter how ridiculous.

Some thoughts....

It is MY opinion that Jimmy Carter wants very much to continue playing a role in diplomacy. He does this through the Carter Foundation (who, I understand, often supervise elections in other countries to ensure fairness). But while he has offered multiple time--to Clinton (I think), Obama, and now Trump--he never gets called upon.

He probably has thought about diplomacy more than any two of them combined. For all the bad that might be said about Carter, he did two things for which I am thankful:

1) Like Trump, who felt that bombing Iran would not be proportionate to them taking out a drone, so, too, Carter refused to go to war with Iran when they illegally held those hostages. In MY mind, he had to realize that thousands dead (perhaps many more than that--on our side and theirs) was disproportionate.

2). He is the ONLY president who has made significant headway toward peace in the Middle East, by facilitating peace talks between Israel and Egypt. Nothing's perfect, but it's still far better than anything else anyone has done. (At the same time, I liked the fact that Trump didn't care what anyone else thought about moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Now if we can just get him to do that with Taiwan!).

Jimmy Carter is influential in parts of the world. Just a few weeks ago, he spoke kindly of Trump because of the phone call he received from the president when Carter was in the hospital. But politics always finds its way back--and now he is playing that game.

It might be he hopes to be seen as relevant to a Democrat Party that has largely left behind the Democrats of a former time--and all for the worst.

Personally, I liked Carter. I thought the strategic oil reserve and his reducing the speed limit to 55mph were the right way to handle the oil crisis. But feeling that is "cramped our style," we went back to our gas guzzlers and 70mph--and more lethal accidents.

Not that I think Jimmy Carter was ever relevant...

But the single fact that he has continued to support a political party that advocates murdering unborn children tells me he is an apostate. Forget the country bumpkin, good ol southern boy charm. One can not produce both sweet and bitter water from the very same fountain.

Carter is not the worst President in my lifetime. Unfortunately I also voted for Carter. I have repented in satcloth and ashes.

We have now had a President much worse than Carter. His name or the name he now goes by is Barack Obama.
