"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

Jimmy Carter is one of the best presidents out of office this nation has ever had. How can he embarrass you or the nation? He has taken no bribes he started no unnessessary wars he did not imprison innocent people or even approve torture!

Jimmy lost in 1980 because RR was a better candidate and promised many things to the middle class that never materialized. The Panama Canal thing, even though RR said that he would have done the exact same, didn't help, the runaway inflation and high interest rates were helping Republicans, the underhanded dealings with the Iranians by RR et al on the hostage crisis also helped at that time. There are a number of reasons why Jimmy Carter lost in 1980 but being a bad president or a bad person were not part of the equation. Only the idiots think that way and who cares about the idiots?!???!??!??!?!?!?!?!

good presidents last for more than 4 years. Carter helped run his own ass out of office..........

One of my favorite speeches...rejected, of course, by many conservatives who like to preach personal responsibility. Of course it's always the presidents fault, individuals have nothing to do with anything.

Ronnie pandered to the close-your-eyes-it's-not-so-bad mentality of the can do spirit of America in the past. Unfortunately we are now faced with the same choices that America chose not to address. The choice today is the same as then!Jimmy lost in 1980 because RR was a better candidate and promised many things to the middle class that never materialized.

Not Ronnie, but his machine shuttered many "eyes", A'15.
No doubt about that. Jimmy will go down in history far superior to the idiot in chief of the last 8 years.
I left the Republican Party for many reasons other than that but that was an important one.

I think it's pretty damn funny that somebody uses this as an argument for the greatness and foresight of Jimmy Carter. If anything it proves how out of touch he was. He implemented things based on what was not feasible then, and 30 years later they still aren't feasible. Obviously, some people have not learned their lesson, and I don't just mean the idiots on this board. The bill presented by Joe Lieberman, John Warner, and Barbara Boxer several months ago hinged on technologies that didn't even exist.
As far as the aforementioned mission to the moon, I would agree that it is not a good comparison. If Woodrow Wilson had declared he wanted us to land on the moon before 1920, that would be a comparison.
This isn't that difficult. I don't think anybody is against cleaner air and cleaner water, we just don't want to live like a third world country and have the burden of paying for it thrown back on the consumer, which is what happened under Carter. Yes, it was his doing, not anything that was left behind by Ford and Nixon.
Jimmy Carter was a bad president. I'm not denying he had the best intentions, but he was a bad president. Oh, and before I forget, whoever said Reagan said he would have done the same thing with the Panama Canal is wrong. I don't know if it's a lie or if you were just misinformed, but Reagan said quite the opposite. Something along the lines of, "We built it, we paid for it, we own it." As for pandering to the "can do spirit of America" and the like... You mean like, "Yes we can"?
