#1 So, these ordinary Americans who are organizing themselves from the grassroots on up, are just useful idiots? Gimme a fucking break, Carter. This is just the typical leftist "your entire idealogical foundation is corrupt and your ideas cannot be spoken in public" thinking that has led them to the desert of ideas. Unless one speaks from a leftist frame, one's ideas are not acceptable in public MSM discourse.

#2 It may be true that some of the people in the Tea Party voted for Carter - that was 34 years ago. Since then, a lot of people have grown up and come to their senses.

#3 Remind me again, Dhimmi, where does the Carter Center gets its funding? Oh that's right - the Magic Kingdom. So STFU.

#4 Bitter and bilious.

#5 The whole paid for by billionaires shows a lot of projection on the lefts part. They understand that they could only get that kind of attendance at great financial cost.

#6 "I don't have any criticism of the members of the Tea Party. A lot of those same people, 30 years ago, were the ones who put me in the White House."

Actually, it was 34 years ago. 30 years ago, they elected Ronald Reagan and kicked your sorry rump out of the White House.

#7 1. There is no ONE Tea Party, just a collection of local Tea Parties. And organizing them is as tough as herding cats.

2. I can't speak for other Tea Parties, but ours is most assuredly NOT financed by oligarchs (unless I, and my $100 contribution, and others like me qualify as such.)

#8 Yeah. And then four years later they gave his silly ass the boot.

#9 I dunno, Glenmore, it sounds pretty oligarchichal to me. You should have sent the money to some long-suffering deserving proletariat such as myself instead.

#11 I would say that Carter had the unique distinction of pissing just about everyone off in his 4 years. Republicans and Democrats thought him incompetent. He unleashed an internal war within his party and they ended up booting him.

Obammer has managed to exceed Carter. He has managed to piss off just about everyone in only two years.

#12 The one good thing Carter did was to block Teddy Kennedy from the Dem nomination against Reagan.

I was a little torn on the use of "WPE" here. Personally, I think Obean has edged out Carter after only two years on the job.

So now that the title of WPE goes to Obean, what do we call Carter?

I'm so confused!

#14 A lot of those same people, 30 years ago, were the ones who put me in the White House.

That's the main difference between ordinary people and "intellectual" elites---the former can learn from mistakes.

#15 gorb, he still retains the title of "History's Greatest Monster".

#16 The one good thing Carter did was to block Teddy Kennedy from the Dem nomination against Reagan.

I was a registered Democrat in the spring of 1980 (my father was active in local politics, and if I'd shown my true colors it would have been awkward for him) and I proudly voted for Ted because that meant I didn't have to wait until November to vote against Carter!

#19 Decisions decisions . . . .

Maybe Former WPE Champ and Current WPE Champ?

:-)
