Jimmy Carter is in his last days.

End of life with family around is the way to do it, screw being in a hospital or strange place

That is what I have in my living will , family and friends around and the sounds of daily living

Jimmy Carter's racist campaign of 1970

Readers should refer to Stephen Hayward's The Real Jimmy Carter if they want a taste of the out-and-out racism that Carter employed in order to defeat moderate former Gov. Carl Sanders for the Democratic nomination that year. As Hayward's book points out:

Carter's top campaign staffers were spotted distributing grainy photographs of Sanders arm-in-arm celebrating with two black men. Sanders was a part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks, and in the photograph he was celebrating a victory with two players who were pouring champagne over his head. Carter's leaflet was intended to depress Sanders's white vote.

“The Carter campaign also produced a leaflet noting that Sanders had paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.”

Carter criticized Sanders, a former governor, for preventing Alabama Gov. and notorious segregationist George Wallace from speaking on Georgia state property. “I don't think it was right for Governor Sanders to try to please a group of ultra-liberals, particularly those in Washington, when it means stifling communication with another state,” said Carter.

“'I have no trouble pitching for Wallace votes and black votes at the same time,' Carter told a reporter. Carter also said to another reporter, 'I can win this election without a single black vote.'”

Upon receiving the endorsement of former Democratic Gov. Lester Maddox, Carter responded by praising the life-long segregationist: “He has brought a standard of forthright expression and personal honesty to the governor's office, and I hope to live up to his standard.” Maddox had not only refused to serve blacks in the restaurant he once owned, but he had also greeted civil rights protestors with a gun, and made sticks available to his white customers with which to intimidate them.
“The campaign paid for radio ads for a fringe black candidate, C.B. King, in an effort to siphon black votes away from Sanders.”
“Then there was the radio commercial in which Carter said he would never be the tool of any 'block' vote, slurring over the word 'block' so that it could be mistaken for 'black.'

Carter won the Democratic nomination and the governorship — unsurprisingly, with almost no black support. He famously did not carry the racism of his 1970 campaign into his governorship. That is laudable, but his campaign was not. Nor is it laudable for him today to attribute his own racial cynicism to others who have ample reasons for legitimate political disagreement with this president.

Carter has been one of the most revered former presidents in the eyes of our party's membership.
I voted for him twice, despite voting against him in both Democratic primaries.

I obviously, then, didn't agree with his every position, but it was impossible to question his motives,
and he certainly rolled up his sleeves when there was a job to be done--pre, during, and post presidency.

I went threw the antiquated thing a few years ago, it’s over 100 years old and falling apart. Not even medium sized modern ships can get through now days.

Call it a change of heart, a come to Jeezus moment or just common sense and morality. Let it all hang out, and the end total makes him a better man on Civil Rights than Reagan, the Bush Crime family and the Orange Oaf combined.

Our Worst Ex-President (Jimmy Carter)

More than a quarter-century after completing his term of office, James Earl Carter is still to be found in the thick of debates about national policies on a range of issues: nuclear arms, Iraq, North Korea, and, especially, the conflict between Israel and the Arabs. A steady stream of books and articles continues to issue forth from his pen, and he travels the world on self-selected diplomatic missions. No other former President has chosen to play a similar role. But then, Carter’s whole political career has been out of the ordinary. In order to understand the man today, it is necessary to see him in the light of his past.

In 1976, when Carter tossed his hat into the ring for the presidential nomination, the Democratic party was still deeply riven by the long, bitter debate over the war in Vietnam. Carter’s response was to soar above these divisions, downplaying both ideology and issues. Instead, he put himself forward as a man of piety and character who would restore a high tone to government in the aftermath of Watergate and related scandals. Before the rise of politically-oriented televangelists, Jimmy Carter made his personal experience as a “born again” Christian into a key tenet of his platform. “I can give you a government that’s honest and that’s filled with love, competence, and compassion,” he pledged.

When the scramble for the Democratic nomination began, Carter was widely seen as a long shot. But by the time the primary season was half over, he had left the other, better-known Democratic contenders in the dust. That he was able to compete with them at all–that is, to raise money and enlist volunteers–owed to the national exposure he had received for his inaugural address as governor of Georgia in 1971.

Jimmy Carter will die soon. The media will sing his praises, but as this article mentions, Carter meddled in U.S. foreign policy as ex-president and aided North Korea.


Jimmah was the worst, but, I think he has been eclipsed by jOkeass,and Sniffer


Its takes a fucking idiot to shoot down a 12.00 hobby balloon with a $216 million F-22 and a 400K missile

Cahtah was a virulent anti-Semite and mortgage rates were 16% when he left office. The Iran hostage crisis and his failed rescue sunk him.

He was the worst POTUS until Obama and Biden came along.
