Jimmy Carter= GWB?

[Red Dawn]

Back in the mid 70's our economy was down, Gas Price were through the roof and the over all feeling of the average American was that our best times were behind us. It seems that the same kind of attitude is prevalent in America today with all these jobs being outsourced to 3rd World Countries, our Armed forces tied up in a quagmire in Iraq with our leaders seemingly unprepared for the peaceful conversion of that country to a Democratic Government. Like Carter, Bush is a nice guy but he seems ill prepared to be able to lead us into a brighter and better future. While we might not be as weak militarily as we were under Carter keep in mind that Carter faced a much more powerful adversary in the Soviet Union where as GWB is faced with an ill organized group of wild eyed Mongrels who should be rather easy to defeat. Also keep in mind that it was GWB's Predecessors Military that enabled us to be as successful as we were in our missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Man oh man, during the Carter years the working man was king. I heard the buying power of the average guy was at an all time high. Then the cheap labor party took over for average Americans it's been down hill except for some upward movement during Clinton. Carter was a fantastic President. It was the country that wasn't worthy of him.

During the Carter years we were told to lower our expectations, we lined up for gas and we were embarrased by Muslin wankers in Iran who took over our Embassy!

Now you are told to lower your expectations, they've been lowered for you. We line up for gas and are embarrassed by Iraqi and Al Quaeda wankers who bombed the WTC and Pentagon. But at least then we didn't have a trigger happy lunatic running the show.

WTF?

One thing we didn't have to worry about back then was attacks on our privacy like we do now!

Bush will redeam himself, though, when he starts Habitat for Humility after he gets out of office. They are going to bottle crow.

Obviously Moonie wasn't even alive during the Carter years....my recollections of the 70's were a tad bit different.......

That, and there was this little guy named Volker.

My recolection of the Carter Presidency is the re-start of the Republican Dirty Politics - post Nixon.
They spent 4 years attacking Carter on every thing he did or said, from Brother Billy to Lusting in his heart for the Statue of Liberty.

QUESTION ! What woman has the biggest pair of Boobs in America ? That's Lillian Carter - she has both Jimmy and Billy !

When the American Embassy in Iran was over-run by radicals in Iran and a rescue mission failed due to Army Helicopters
blinded by a sand storm where one collided with another, Cater took the hit for even trying to do something - why blame him ?
Then the Republicans backing Reagan worked behind Carters back - in violation of U.S. Policy, which is treason - to secure
the release of the hostages "IF" Reagan was elected, to reward the efforts of the Republicans in ousting the sitting President.

Ever since that time in political history, coupled with the Nixon 'Dirty Tricks' our whole system has deteriorated to a shamful condition.
Don't ever forget that the Nixon Machine is the same group of people that fell in behind Ray-Gun to prop up that mindless puppet.
I lived through the 12 years of Goober Reagan while he was the California Show-Boy, and he ruined the state back then - it never did recover.
Then he took his puppet show to Washington and continued to play the role of Bonzo for the whole country.
Tinkle Down Economics = piss on the small guy, we're too important to care for anything but ourselves.
Bush inherited the recycled trash from the Nixon and Reagan machines to lead him by the nose.

Not much has changed in all these years.

Carter put solar on the White House and the vegetable tore it down.

Carter also had a responsible energy policy which Reagan destroyed as soon as he took office.

Big oil and big cars were back big time. And headlines read things like this:

"Reagan to cities: Drop Dead"

"It's OK Again to be Rich!"

Carter is a good and honest man. Too honest for Washington.

One big difference between Carter and GWB:

GWB will NEVER win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Responsible engery policy? Hardly. I remember being told we had to keep our thermostats set to 68 in the winter and 80 or 82 in the summer. Try living in florida with your AC set to 82. You wil have mold growing on your ceiling. Carter has done more post-presidency than he did when he was in office.

Couldn't say it better about Reagan. What a total disaster man. What the Right sees in him is beyond me! History will not treat him well in my opinion, from the ballooning deficits, to the Iran-Contra illegalities, Reagan screwed the Nation. We get along on the road to recovery and then get saddled with Shrub. Another long recovery period is in our future.

A difference between the two is that Carter inherited the fallout from a war. Bush did not have that opportunity, but he did manage to make his own. Now some poor slob down the road will be stuck with that nightmare.

Bush isn't like Carter, he's more like Johnson.

I think Reagan was a great president. First president to recognize the aids epidemic, instrumental in tearing down the walls of communism. He had his flops though, but overall I think his legacy is clear

He may be like Johnson in terms of war but he's no Johnson in terms of jobs.

Bush also isn't even trying to create a "Great Society" with the exception of the great society his tax cuts are creating for his very few wealthy friends.

I read the richest 400 taxpayers in America received 50% of Bush's tax cuts.

Amazing.

While millions of Americans can't even find a job.

First president to recognize the AIDS epidemic?

His administration ignored the AIDS epidemic!

Members of his administration referred to the AIDS epidemic as an act of God!

WTF are you talking about?

Carter was a horrible president!!! Just awfull, the country was nothing but doom&gloom! Nobody could buy a car, or a house interest rates were 19%, unemployment was at 13%! We have it made in the shade with Bush!

The reason that AIDS got so far out of control in the first place was the Reagan administrations refusal to deal with the beginnng of the pandemic.
Religious right fruitckaes directed his Sexual Education and Abstinence policies.

Tearing down walls ? He went into overdrive building up the war machine and simply outspent Russia - all on false presentation of their threat to us.
It was exaggerated to congress and the public to pass spending bills to put Smegma Bucks into the Military Industrial Complex. (Sound familiar ?)
The Soviet Union simply ran out of cash to try to match us - while off on the Afganistan caper, they went broke.

All Praise Ronald "I don't recall" Reagan. Don't tell him about Iran Contra, Ollie - if they ask him he won't know anything, or remember it either.

We'll be lucky if we don't go broke after Bushes Buddies and their War Games - there isn't enough OIL in Iraq to break even for our costs now.
At a billion $$$ a week (our cost) they can't pump enough out to pay that back. Bush wants 60 $$ Billion ? That's 1 year, 1 month, and 3 weeks.
We've only been there 6 months now ! This commitment is a hell of a lot closer to 120 $$$ Billion than to what they will admit to.

Vote ? Hell yes ! Vote EVERY INCUMBENT - reguardless of party OUT !

And don't forget the $70 BILLION already appropriated for Iraq last April. :Q
