Actually Carter was a pretty good President. History is appraising him
more and more highly as time goes on.

Ah, you like and approve of double-digit inflation? A slumping economy?



About as much as I like the slumping economy, plus a war, that we have
now. But hey, we can't blame that on President Bush, can we?

Can't address an issue head-on, can you? You always cite something the
opposition has done as vindication for the incompetence of your own party.
Has inflation ever come near the levels it did during Carter's
administration since he left office? Have interest rates hit the double
digits we experienced under his incompetent leadership?

No no, only Democratic Presidents are responsible for the economy and
then only when it's bad.

Carter accomplished a number of things, such as beginning to wean the
country from Big Oil...

Really? Wasn't terribly effective at it, was he. Can you cite something
he did that had lasting results?

politically a bad move, and he's still getting tarred & feathered for it.

Look up the conventional arms limitation treaty he put thru... as
responsible for the demise of the Soviet Union as anything President
Reagan did, and also gave the world a decade of greater stability, less
genocide, low-intensity 3rd world conflict, etc etc.

LOL. Of course all the myriad other factors that played a part in those
aspects of the years following his departure from the Oval Office were
inconsequential, right? He did walk on water, didn't he?


Yeah. like any Bush/Cheney cheeleader is going to approve of anything
Carter ever does or says.


You're full of ****, Doug.

Actually, I'm not.

From downwind it would appear you are.



.... I detest Bush.

Than why did you not only vote for him twice, but whine & kick and call a
lot of people names because they pointed out that he's not doing a very
good job running the country?

I changed my mind regarding the man subsquent to some things he's done in
office. Unlike you, I'm not an inflexible demagogue.


For that matter, why are you still doing it?

You haven't been paying attention, but that's not surprising, considering
your dogmatic view of everyone with whom you debate. I'm still a
libertarian with some conservative beliefs, but that hardly means I'm
supportive of the current administration. You are still a liberal, and
I'll always disagree with your beliefs, but, again, that hardly makes me
supportive of Bush.

You, OTOH, are still a trumpet for moveon.org.

But, he was smart enough to think of a plan besides invade Iraq. Oops.. that
didn't work either.

Of course, by that logic, Clinton did more for the economy that few other
presidents.

Clinton presided over what might have been one of the most prosperous
economic times in our recent history.

Of course everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten that the economy
was heading into the toilet during his last year or so.

Incompetent leadership? Carter took the hard steps to defeat inflation.
Remember Paul Volcker?

Ever since Carter all our Presidents have been promising us a free lunch.
I expect we are now seeing the bill that has been past due.

By the by, the US economy has performed slightly better under Democratic
administrations, than under Republican.

Actually it's not. And those cops are still on the street, for the most
part, excepting the normal attrition.

Now, night basketball--there was a stroke of brilliance. g

Jimmy Carter/Ronald Reagon Tie for 3rd worst
Jimmy Carter was certainly a man of high standards, but his total lack
of experience lead to a 4 year stalemate for American politics. Reagan
was well loved and knew how to play the average American like a fiddle,
but he was a racist cowboy who attempted to destroy the melting pot
that was the very fabric and soul of America

George Bush Sr, 2nd worst
Compared to his son, Bush Sr. seems like a mild prototype of his son,
though he did embrace at least some republican values of merit.

George Bush Jr. Worst president of all time...so far
Started war over invented WMDs
9/11 occurs on his watch
Sits in class room while towers burn and Americans die
Admits Iraq is no threat a few months before starting war campaign. It's on tape.
Uses OLD and VERY OLD intelligence dating back to early 90's to support war.
Announced the worlds funniest coalition of support (with almost zero military support).
Useless war generates the worst anti-American standard worldwide.
War claims the lives of thousands of Americans, civilians and children.
US forces are sent in without basic gear required and must scavenge for it.
Bush opposes woman's right to choose.
Bush opposes stem cell research against massive public outcry to appease his religious friends.
Bush denies secret prisons, torture and worse, then admits to it, defying the basic principals on which this country was founded.
Bush allows big oil to gouge the American public and they don't even try to hide the profits.

Congrats to our current president and his very few supporters.
