the great jimmy carter coming up on judy woodruff! thank you cnn

[faithnotgreed]

love this man now this is someone everyone should be able to respect and listen to

[classof56]

1. Sorry to tell you this, but--

I have relatives in Texas and Oklahoma who insist that Jimmy Carter "ruined this country". Something about lines at gas pumps...

Go figure.

[faithnotgreed]

7. yes i understand. its too bad but im glad that people view him more

favorably now that he has been able to show his real strengths. hes out there working for the betterment of the world and this country. and hes real. i love that. he just doesnt come across that he has a political agenda except to make this country better someow (though thats a tall order every day no matter who you are)

ill always love him

[AFSCME girl]

16. Me too! n/t

:hi:

[classof56]

20. I think Carter is amazing!

A truly wonderful, gracious human being, dedicated to peace in this old world--in my mind, just what a professing Christian man should be. Truly lives his faith!

Unfortunately, my Texas/OK relatives won't change their minds, but I don't let it bother me. I'm proud Carter was once our president, and can't tell you how sick I was when he lost the election to Reagan. I was profoundly disappointed in my fellow Americans. Sometimes I think about how much different things would be if Carter had served a second term. When he received the Nobel Peace Prize, I sent him an e-mail of congratulations. He richly deserved that one!

I also liked Bill Clinton, though of course not everything he did. But Carter remains a hero in my eyes.

Bush Must Go!!!

14. He needs to stand up for himself

And point out how it has himself, not Mr. Reagan, who drew the Soviets into the Afghan Trap and thereby hastened the demise of the USSR.

He needs to forcefully point out that it was himself, and not the Republicans who began the tricky dealings with the Mujahideen that ultimately led to 9-11 and the current flowering of (some would say mindless) patriotism and unity as the USA stands tall against all the girlie-men, cheese-eating-surrender-monkey type nations this planet is infested with.

Finally, he needs to point out his credentials as a "Born Again Christian" - proudly stated in advance of the right-wingers who have since hijacked this type of display of religiosity to great political advantage.

[faithnotgreed]

18. yes. thats a good point and an important part of him - his Christianity

[classof56]

21. snowFLAKE, you put that very well!

And I agree with you. Jimmy's faith translates into action, and while he never used the term "Compassionate Liberal", he certainly is one. God continues to bless and use him. May it always be so!

Welcome to DU!!

[JuniorPlankton]

2. I saw somewhere

Carter being described as "the best ex-president".
People feel a lot better about him now then they did when he was in the WH.

[berner59]

4. Judy is disgusting...

Seemed shocked that Carter suggested Bush was the cause of countries losing faith in us... She's not buying anything he's saying...what disrespect!!!

[nostamj]

3. judy is back in utter whore mode....

but but but bush is better on the war on terror

but but but you can't say bush mislead

but but but but but but but

but just SHOVE IT judy!

[berner59]

6. Shove it is right!!

Boy are these newswhores just squirming...where can we find balanced coverage?? NO WHERE!!!

[Generic Other]

He just said Bush told falsehoods

Judi was incredulous! She had to ask if he was accusing Bush of lying. Carter said he didn't know if it was intentional and wasn't up to him to decide, but lies were told.

[mark414]

5. what a whore

giving him all these loaded biased questions and carter comes right back with perfect answers, god bless that man!

[MuseRider]

10. With a smile! n/t

[berner59]

11. ended with...

Jimmy Carter...sounding like a democratic supporter for John Kerry...what do you mean SOUNDING??? HE IS!!! Is there anything they won't spin???

[redqueen]

12. She's not ashamed of her stupidity, is she?

E-mail time! Shame these whores...

[Tatiana]

8. Excellent appearance by Carter.

Called Bush a liar.

Talked up Kerry's service.

Made the point that Dems will be competitive in the South.

Even flustered Judy after calling Bush a liar ("Do you really think the President is a liar?")

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. Good job, President Carter!

Judy has just received a very polite and cordial bitch-slapping.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. The Great Jimmy Carter, is right!

How many other ex-VP's have gone out to build houses for the needy? 0, zip, none, nada......He's a true humanitarian. Hugs for Jimmy! :hug:

[faithnotgreed]

15. incognito - i think youre great. may i ask what you meant: "ex-vp"?

im not picking, im pretty new here on du and its hard to keep up with all the acronyms and abbreviations
so i was wondering if this may have meant something else or was it just a typo?!


and i totally agree. thats what i was saying earlier - this man works so hard for this country and he does it locally and around the world.
i think everyone could (should) respect this man greatly

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. OOPS! I meant Prez.

Sorry! :hi:

[Generator]

19. Yeah, he's still my favorite Prez

which shows me again why I'm too good for this country. Yeah, this country thinks that Ronald Reagan should be a saint and Carter ruined things. Why I'm I here? Now, I remember why I spent a few years thinking of living overseas.
