Other than screwing most of the people in support of your friends.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I did read it and it is more of the spew from the revisionist Trotskyite wing of the NeoCon controlled Republicrat party. Its designed to fill the needs of folks who just cannot come to grips with the fact that they helped elect the worst President of the USA in modern times. Its the same kind of delusional nonsense that fuels the Dittohead industry. I am rapidly comming to the reluctant conclusion that this form of pseudo-political expression is actually a personality disorder. And as i said in my other post . . . I knew we were getting close and now you have it again ladies and gentlemen, wait for it . . . repeat after me in unison now . . . IT WAS BILL CLINTON"S FAULT. ALL BILL, ALL THE TIME. 24/7/365. There you have it, well gosh almighty the prof from Orange County said so. Isn't Chapman U where they filmed some of those crazy college hijinks's films, and some Bullwinkle? Dave They filmed a couple movies but not the college hijinks. Actually a highly rated, very liberal school. So you can not comment on the message, only the messenger? Seems as if the messenger did not absolve Bush either. Equal opportunity basher. And I have said for a long time that Greenspan was the worse Fed chairman ever! |

Letting the Iranians run rampant for a year, made the US look impotent, and they could do what they wanted without any payback. You are aware that Reagan's people were negotiating with the Ayatollahs behind Carter's back while Reagan was pres-elect? That was illegal. The Iranians agreed to hold the hostages thru Reagan's election campaign, and release them on the first days of Reagan's presidency. And you apparently have forgotten the arms for hostages arrangements. But if you are interested YouTube and i believe Google videos, have film of Reagan lying on camera about related stuff we now know was untrue. American progressives may be a bit more aware of this stuff because a number of them were murdered in central America with the tacit approval of the Reagan administration. Ronald Reagan's crew of McNasties included Cheney, and others from Bush's pack of rats including a few that spied for Israel. The same crew that gave us the Iraq war. You also seem to have forgotten Reagan's disaster in Lebanon, and the hundreds of dead Marines. Carter's biggest mistake was in trying to give the Russians some payback for Vietnam, by secretly backing the Jihadis fighting the Ruskies in Afghanistan. It backfired. Reagan faked his military experiences, and in my opinion should have been investigated for treason. Toward the end of his terms he didn't even bother to submitt complete budgets to Congress. He could make me smile, but I knew he was a disaster for my country. Dave |

Carter did not lie to the country to get us involved in a war that has cost the lives of thousands, and did not lead the country toward financial disaster. He did not pack washington with self-serving cronies, declare his office and anyone associated with it above the law, bend (or break) laws to serve his political goals, and redefine the balance of powers in DC. He did not cause a rift between liberals and conservatives, and did not seek to destroy or invalidate his political opponents. He did many things wrong out of a sense of trust in the system, expectation of goodwill among others, and being naive about how Washington and global politics works. Those errors are nothing compared to the deliberate misleadings and manipulations of Bush. Carter was a disaster. Bush was a disaster, wrapped in a catastrophe, hidden in an apocolypse. They are nowhere in the same league, and we'll feel the effects of Bush's presidency for years and years to come. --riverman |

Bad point to open a 2nd front so far from home, but Clinton was saying the same thing, and was spending a ton of money with the flyovers. And the financial meltdown is not just Bush's fault. Is a continuation of the same crap that got us the dot.com bubble. Neither administration was watching out for the people. I still say Carter laid the foundation for the Muslim Extremists to really prosper. And that got the World Trade Center attacked twice. Carter was either really stupid, or too naive to be POTUS. Clinton's Sec Treasury, Rubin should be hung for this meltdown. Leaves "public Service" to head Citigroup and works to get the rules changed that helped protect us since 1933 from a lot of the financial shenanigans. Not say Bush was a good president, just stating my opinon that Carter was worse. |

He did not cause a rift between liberals and conservatives, and did not seek to destroy or invalidate his political opponents. Regardless of how you paint Carter, he was quite a bit worse than Bush. He supported a violent takeover of Iran by radicals. The Middle East has not been the same since. He was worse than ineffective in dealing with the hyper-radical Iranian gov't. The world has NEVER recovered from that. That was almost thirty years ago. Our lives are still dominated by his failure. Carter didn't need to attack his opponents, he was the Democrat that came after Nixon/Ford. The Dems could have run anyone against Ford and won. Carter had his political advantage. His party held the majority. By the time he was up for election, his record was so bad that it would not have done any good to go after Reagan. Carter knew it was no good to try an attack, his own personal record of corruption would have been exposed and he would probably have ended up resigning before his term was up. Besides, he lost the 1980 election a year before the ballot. He most certainly DID pack Washington with self-serving cronies. And he let his family (even supported his family) break more laws then Bush and Caney could. The FBI was getting close to unraveling all the **** Billy was pulling. It was even an embarrassment to the administration in the press. Carter reorganized the operation which had been focusing on investigating international corruption which kept pointing to the White House. Then he fired the investigators that got close to exposing his family's crimes. Had the Republicans been in power, Carter probably would have seen the same fate as Nixon. Carter did lead the country into a financial crisis. Inflation rates and interest rates were out of control. It took five years after he was booted out of office to recover from that nightmare. He did many things wrong out of a sense of trust in the system, expectation of goodwill among others, and being naive about how Washington and global politics works. Those errors are nothing compared to the deliberate misleadings and manipulations of Bush. Carter did mislead the country. But it was for personal gain and to cover-up his own personal corruption and that of his family. Carter's failings were not a matter of trust in the system, it was intentional. Pure corruption. He was the naive bumbling idiot that many paint him, but he used it effectively to cover his corruption. Its good to see that you admit to Carter's obviously dangerous deficiency in global politics. World has never recovered from that. Carter was a disaster. Bush was a disaster, wrapped in a catastrophe, hidden in an apocolypse. They are nowhere in the same league, and we'll feel the effects of Bush's presidency for years and years to come. --riverman Bush did botch the war in Iraq, that's indefensible. But he wasn't the root cause of the Middle East problems that lead to the war. He was not the root cause of the problems that lead to the 9-11 attack. He did not marginalize or ignore the previous attacks on the U.S. by radical Muslims prior to 9-11. (BTW, its spelled "apocalypse") We can only hope that Obama doesn't screw up too badly. |

That doesn't answer the question. What American city? I just looked at a map and it looks like they're all still there. Which one is lost? |
