Comments on: White House Calls Carter "Irrelevant"

After Former President Bashes Bush, White House Dismisses "Sad" Comments

[jsl45]

Irrelevant perhaps, but no doubt the truth. With a 25% approval rating for Bush and a 9% approval rating for Darth Cheney, won't be long before it's a 0% approval rating and then maybe we can get our representatives to move for impeachment.

[bareemperor]

This fascist son of a Bu$h has made the White House "Irrelevant".
Tammany Hall pales when compared to this comic, yet deadly mix of flaccid politicians and Rovian genius...

[lars008-2009]

hahahahahaha

that means a lot coming from the chief loser of the lousiest predency ever... sure miss double digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment...

hahahahahaha

Carte
r came down hard on the Iraq war.
"We now have endorsed the concept of pre-emptive war where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened, if we want to change the regime there or if we fear that some time in the future our security might be endangered," he said. "But that's been a radical departure from all previous administration policies."

hahahahaha

you mean like your beotch boy clintoon did bosnia, sudan, iraq and afghanistan...

you mean like you did when you attacked iran...

go change your depends loser dimmy cart-er

you have already shown your preference for communist leaders and fascist nazi islam leaders over america...

you have the dubious distinction of being the first traitorous prsedent of the USA...

what a walking blathering embarrassing
mistake you are...

They were awarded in Vietnam for any combat wound, however slight. You could easily get that many wounds in a week.

You just proved you were never in Vietnam. You're credibility as a "Vietnam veteran" is shot.

"...... the Swift Boaters had ever right to protest Kerry's anti-war stance..."
If that were the whole story, there wouldn't be a problem preceptions. The fact is the Seift Boaters were a bumch of reactionary political opportunistic liars assembled by Carl Rove to spread bogus lies and smear John Kerry for political gain. Only a neo-con dare to call that democratic.

[rharrin1]

..... the Swift Boaters had ever right to protest Kerry's anti-war stance when he came home and tossed his medals over the fence. It's called the 1st Amendment.

And one of the swift boaters got the same medal Kerry got the same day, that he and the other boaters said kerry should not have gotten. Just republican dirt as it is in all elections. You've never seen a democrat that had to steal the oval office to be able to get inside it.

It must make you feel real big when you lie and twist the truth and spin ( what a nice little bible thumper you are )

[briannorwood]

Irrelavant, perhaps...Absolutely 100% correct, for certain!

That was the whole basis of their opposition to him. That was it entirely.

They should have been honest about that, and not make up things about Kerry's behavior in combat, before he joined the anti-war movement. That was dishonest, and as libel and slander it is not protected under the Constitution.

The truth about the Swift Boat ads:

[jegibbons]

Maybe the Democrats should run Jimmy Carter again! He certainly can't be any worse than their last two presidential 'hopeless hopefuls'.

John Kerry = 3 purple hearts in a 4 month tour? Only another Viet Nam veteran,like myself, could possibly understand just how ludicrous that sounds. Never mind WHAT 'The Swifties' think of him. Kerry's anti-fellow-veteran comments were stated to a US Congress without any personal first hand experience. You try that in a court of law anywhere in this country and see how fast the judge tosses it out.

Big Al Gore who couldn't get re-elected as Senator in his home state of Tennesee, where his father was a king-boss politician.
Which brings us to the latest cast of characters?
You people on the LEFT are making this TOO EASY!

Come make a race out of it. DEMOCRATS you need to nominate somebody we can all vote for. PLEASE!

Ony 19 months until he's irrelevant too. By then, he will have set new records for poor performance. Carter's administration is looking increasingly better.

[the74blaster]

Is Carter or Bush worse? Who cares about Carter because he is not in office anymore. However, it is a totally different situation with Bush.

I find it interesting that so many criticize Carter for weakening our military but yet they are suddenly mute when it comes to talking about Bushs impact on it.

How about a couple of interesting points. Is it not true the Bush opposes a pay raise for military personnel? According to an article I read 20% are on food stamps. If this is true,I would think that if Bush supports the military he would be pushing for a raise to support our troops by improving moral.

rharrin1, you need to ask yourself why our "corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack" went after them????? and twisted the facts.

I guess you think MoveOn and Daily Kos are normal media outlets.........don't you?

so he was guilty of one of your accusations

....dear contaminated ainttaken...........there is a concept you need to start warming up to........and that is all nine (9) are facts...... get a clue

[rharrin1]

No one from the Right has yet to address ONE, not ONE of those points. Instead they attack Carter, try to make him out as some sort of person we should not listen too. It's rediculous and the MAJOR reason we're in the fix we're in.

If Carter had been President during 9/11, the USA would have apologized to Al Queda for the loss of their terrorists.

[perception5]

9. Decline of the military
give me a few facts on this one. He was a nuclear sub captian...a huge accomplishment compared to the chimps pre pres record

Posted by ainttaken at 08:36 AM : May 21, 2007


.....dear ainttaken, when I arrived in Norfolk Virginia in 1979 people had signs in their yards that said "Dogs and sailors keep off the grass". The local clubs around ODU University had "cover charges" for military personnel but not anyone else.........then came Ronald Reagan and by the time I left Norfolk in 1982........the "signs" were gone......and there was "no cover charge" for military people going to the clubs around ODU.

aintakken........take by advice you are really contaminated..........please take a course in
1. economics
2. American history.

[oleander8]

Carter is expressing an opinion that is held by most of the world. Fortunately it was picked up by the media.

[forthepeopl1]

so its ok for a fomer president to say that our government needs not to defend the americans with there consitutionual rights. if we in government think its best for us than we dont have to worrie about the middle class and below they dont matter to us...

Could it be that the ONLY reason that Vietnam has even survived as a country is that communism is failing globally and that Red China and Cambodia have been unable to annex Viet Nam as was once their plan? ANSWER: YES!
If Viet Nam has survived and prospered it is likely more by way indirectly of trade began by the Reagan Administration than from our GETTING OUT! GETTING OUT OF IRAQ will not be quite so neat as you Bush Bashers would like to believe.
AL QUIDA is waiting to step out. blow up and kill every free thinking Iraqui citizen as soon as our troops leave.
IRAN and Syria will divy up what's left. IRAQ will exist no more. The Israeli Nation will be in extreme peril. Gas prices will soar and all you leftie hypocrites, driving your gas guzzling SUV'S will be SOL!
