Jimmy Carter Proves Once Again, Democrats Have No Class

Well, former President "Malaise" Jimmy Carter, the most incompetent president in the history of America, the man who almost single-handedly destroyed our nation (he did have the assistance of a rubber stamp Democrat controlled Congress}, the man who gave us double digit inflation (in excess of 18%), double digit unemployment (over 12%), and double digit interest rates (over 22%), and the man who gave us the most useless and wasteful cabinet level departments in government-the Department of Energy and the Department of Education-has taken it upon himself to launch a personal attack against Republican Presidential nominee John McCain.

This clown prince of the Democrat Party, the man who single-handedly repelled an attack by the killer bunny rabbit, had the temerity to accuse Senator John McCain of "milking every drop possible" from his experience of 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war.

Carter: McCain 'milking' POW time

By Alan Gomez, USA TODAY

DENVER — Former president Jimmy Carter called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a "distinguished naval officer," but he said the Arizona senator has been "milking every possible drop of advantage" from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Carter spoke Thursday with USA TODAY and Gannett News Service reporters before Barack Obama's acceptance speech to cap off the Democratic National Convention. Carter spoke of Obama's challenges facing the lingering effects of racism in the United States and the ability of the Clintons to bring their supporters over to Obama. He decried Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman's decision to "abandon" the Democrats by speaking at the Republican convention next week.

Carter, however, focused heavily on McCain. He said he was bewildered by McCain's performance at the Saddleback Presidential Forum hosted by pastor and author Rick Warren in Lake Forest, Calif., earlier this month.

Carter said that whether he was asked about religion, domestic or foreign affairs, every answer came back to McCain's 5½ years as a POW.

...And his experience in the military was...??? Oh yeah, while running for president, he lied about his service, claiming that he was a "nuk-yer" [sic] (later corrected to "nuc-u-ler") engineer in the United States Navy's submarine fleet.

The truth about "Jimmah" is far different. He served (according to Wikipedia)

"on surface ships and on diesel-electric submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. As a junior officer, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine."

He was discharged from the Navy, at his request following the death of his father, on October 9,1953. That's right folks, this self-proclaimed "nuk-yer engineer" never served on a nuclear submarine. The first SSN was the Nautilus which was launched January 17, 1955; over a year after Carter left the Navy...Talk about "milking" an experience...he didn't even have.

I think all those years spent underwater on diesel-electric submarines gave the peanut farmer from Plains a wet brain. When you think of Jimmy Carter's military experience, think of Ensign Parker from McHale's Navy. How dare he criticize John McCain's record?

But Carter wasn't simply incompetent in domestic policy, he was a disaster in the international arena as well; giving away the most strategically valuable asset America had, the Panama Canal Zone, standing idly bye as the Soviet Union invaded and attempted to crush Afghanistan (oh yeah I almost forgot, he boycotted the 1980 Olympics, my what a great and powerful response), and subjecting America to one of the most humiliating experiences in our history, the Iranian hostage crisis, with its consequent misguided and disastrous attempted rescue mission.

I wonder that anyone would trust the judgment of a man who has said:

"Every election Hugo Chavez has won has been completely open and fair."

Our Jimmy does have an interesting definition of "fair."

On the other hand, he did say of Obama, before he entered the Democrat Presidential race:

"I just don't think he's got,yet, the proven substance or experience to, to be the president."

I guess it just proves that even an incompetent, lying, idiot can occasionally lapse into telling the truth.

Like most Democrats these days...no class, no competence, no integrity...no how.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
