[LiberalElite]

8. Yes and what is realistically the outcome -

at his age?

It particularly upsets me when you compare Jimmy Carter with the likes of the current GOP fuckheads who think they deserve to be president. Or for that matter - comparing him with many of the "public servants" we have today. This is the legacy of 30 years of right wing propaganda and the dumbing down of America. End of rant.

[Mnemosyne]

11. Dick Cheney, the war criminal, got a new heart at our expense. I hope President Carter

does not suffer, if he has to leave us too soon.

The war criminal, Dick Cheney, well...

[trof]

28. Righteous rant, LE.

I'm reminded of the old saw that "women should be kept barefoot and pregnant".
Har Har.

The repugs want the electorate to be kept ignorant and afraid.

An example for us all and a gift to our country. Please stay with us a bit longer--some of us need to recall and reflect on how genuinely good you've been for us. And then to tell you.

24. God/Goddess Bless, President Carter.

I can only wonder how different this country, this planet and this people would have been had Jimmy Carter been allowed to be elected to a second term in office and been able to shepherd his oil and energy policies to fruition.

Other ex-Presidents spend their time giving speeches and fattening their coffers. President Carter spent his time building homes for the homeless.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. truly

yes yes

[niyad]

30. Hope our grandchildren will learn

that when the world seemed to be heading into never-ending war and violence we had some great leaders like Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, the Dalai Lama, and Jimmy Carter who tried to show us a better way.

32. Carter has shown them all what "Class" means as in "classy".

He also has grace and courage. Jeez, the repubs look so stupid and weak and shitty compared to President Carter.

But meanwhile back in the tiny town of Plains, Georgia, residents of Carter’s hometown had decided on a tribute of their own: hundreds of campaign signs lining the streets to which Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were to return on Thursday evening.

“Jimmy Carter for Cancer Survivor,” signs said, urging the former president success in this latest battle.

“If we can put a smile on his face, it’s worth it,” Jill Stuckey, a close friend of the former first couple and a board member of the Friends of Jimmy Carter National Historic Site, told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

She told the paper they had the idea last week, when similar signs were featured in a Journal Constitution editorial cartoon by Mark Luckovich.
