Fritz Mondale compares Jimmy Carter with the 2016 GOP field...

In the hallway, when a woman identified herself as a “big fan from Georgia,” Mondale stopped her. “Ah, Georgia! I worked for a guy down there,” he said. “We’re all praying for him.” His boss in the White House, President Jimmy Carter, announced earlier this month that he would begin treatment, at the age of 90, for cancer in his brain. Mondale was planning a visit next week.

“You know,” he told the Georgia woman, “he was so gracious — compared to these asses running.”

Millions in this country cannot see the difference between good and evil. That's how we end up with bums like Reagan, who allow evil, greedy men to plunder and ruin the USA.

Carter was of course calling for conservation and some restraint.

And of course the average person went for "greed" because the Middle East had used gas (again) to manipulate America.... and people didn't like that they might have to conserve or use public transpo.


You see it all again with Dubya (Cheney actually). SUVs anyone?
