What About President Carter?????
It seems Bush continues to diss Carter. I know Ford is too ill but Carter isn't. He's the same age as H.W.

Plus this is the kind of stuff Carter is known for.

1. Don't want people to be reminded
of how big a "failure" Carter was, when we are going through the same damn thing now with a new energy crisis.

All is well in America! Have cake, while I play the guitar!

3. Why would Chimpy meet with a (Real) Democrate?
One that can tell the people the truth.

7. he's pissed at Carter
Jimmy opposed his imperial adventure in Iraq from the beginning, so he doesn't get to play in the sandbox with the senior Bush criminal and Clinton.

13. And spoke out strongly against Guantanamo just weeks ago
Jimmy Carter has true guts and a real heart, two characteristics that are seriously frowned upon in BushWorld.

Bush knows he would pale being put side by side with a truly decent man like Carter.

Better to haul out Popppy and Bubba. It's the Chimp, Poppy and Bubba Show!!

9. It's because he does things like certify the venezuelan elections.
The more I look, the more I find respect for the man. He's played down so much by the media and people that you'd never know all the things he's done.

10. Carter is a true humanitarian and a TRUE Christian
Chimpy might turn to stone if he were to look such a being in the eyes.

11. He has the juice,
connections, and moral authority for situations exactly like this. That's 3 strikes against him when you're looking for someone who won't overshadow your marketing blitz.

16. Carter was purposely given the Nobel Peace Prize
right after bush decided to take our country to war. That stuck sharp in junior's craw.

17. Carter is person non grata
Bush is jealous of a successful president. Bush is such a petty bastard.

18. Habitats for Humanity
will help out I'm quite sure. Carter is more of a genuine Christian than * ever dreamed of being. * can't deal with that.

19. I wish...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 02:28 PM by Mr_King
we had Jimmy Carter type politicians today.

Maybe we do...

Carter was just President at the wrong time. I wish he would have first ran in 1980 instead of 1976.
