Jimmy Carter- an embarrassment to the Democrat party, the USA and himself.
We should have known there was a problem when in 1973, while Governor of Georgia, Carter filed a report on his 1969 UFO sighting with the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (He saw ET?)
During this campaign Carter falsely referred to himself as a "nuclear physicist", when interviewed. (Lying about his credentials – no surprise)
In 1973 his decisions sparked an oil crisis and forced oil prices to rise sharply, spurring price inflation throughout the economy, and slowing growth
During Carter's administration, the economy suffered double-digit inflation, coupled with very high interest rates, oil shortages, high unemployment and slow economic growth. Productivity growth in the United States had declined to an average annual rate of 1 percent, compared to 3.2 percent of the 1960s. The mortgage rate during the Carter administration rose to an all time high of 18% and made the dream of owning a home for too many in the middle class unimaginable. (At 18% it is like buying your house again ever 5 years).
Carter was also criticized by the feminist author and activist Andrea Dworkin for ignoring issues of women's rights in Saudi Arabia. (didn’t have a backbone for confrontation)
Instead of clear and concrete action against the enemy, the only foreign policy Carter advocates is friendly relations with other nations, especially our enemies. (Carter never met a dictator or terrorist he didn't want to "break bread” with.) Jimmy Carter's Presidential decisions are an “unbroken series of mistakes and miscalculations" punctuated by the 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis, when Carter stood passive and paralyzed, his only attempt at action ending in a pathetically under-supported, doomed rescue mission. If one were to look for a moment at which America lost credibility and respect in the world, this would be it.
It was also the moment that created the terrorist threat we face today. It allowed an Islamic theocracy to establish itself in Iran, becoming the leading sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East for the last 25 years. And it showed a generation of Muslim fanatics that terror attacks and hostage taking—the very strategies now employed by our enemies in Iraq—could defeat America. In short, Carter presided over the most important foreign-policy failure in the last quarter of a century. Yet he has the temerity to project its results onto the policies of the current administration.
Does anyone remember who brokered the 1994 deal in which the Clinton administration agreed to provided food and oil to North Korea, in exchange for its promise not to develop nuclear weapons—a promise the North Koreans promptly broke, allowing them to threaten us with a nuclear bomb today? That's right: it was Jimmy Carter.
He has also in recent years made anti-Semitic statements and has gone even as far as to deny the holocaust.

Carter, I don’t know how you could make such a statement as that describing McCain’s service. Words that describe McCain are Honor, patriotism, hero, where you Jimmy Carter could only cower in the White House when up against negotiations with the Iranians.
How dare you Jimmy Carter make this statement against a hero, when you and your administration were a complete failure?

I believe in freedom and liberty, low taxes, less government, traditional values, a strong national defense, and the Constitution of the United States. I have done a lot of soul searching and reading about all the issues and I know there is a conservative candidate that will emerge that will bring America back to her glory, a country safe and strong enough to live in without giving up any of our rights. I do think the USA is the greatest nation on God’s green earth I believe in the "power of the ruby slippers.” I also enjoy irritating a liberal from time to time.
