MSNBC host Chris Matthews and the former president must have access to information the rest of us don’t? Apparently the tea party leaders just want to “feather their own nests”:
Update: In the same interview, former President Carter goes on to claim that Ronald Reagan only won the 1980 presidential election because of “third party candidate” Ted Kennedy. In reality, the third party candidate in the general election, John B. Anderson, received a whopping 6 percent of the popular vote while Reagan easily defeated Carter, capturing 50.7 percent to Carter’s 41.Click here to see the video.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 6:49pmJimmy Carter is a piece of garbage and it has to be the likes of cockroaches like MSNBC that would actually want to interview the 2nd to the worst President in history. I truly doubt that any American with even an ounce of sense (other than MSNBC and a Liberal) would want to hear anything from the Father of FREE for all. He told Castro to give him their sick, their poor and he did. Plus Castro emptied out all his insance asylums and sent them too. What a guy Jimmy Carter, I wonder how many of those insance Cubans live in his neighborhood. This miserable wretched peanut is the one who gave money from our Social Security FREE to foreigners even if they did not work a day in this country. How easy it is to give away other peoples money. Jimmy Carter, an absolutely horrible President that like other liberal have betrayed America. I really wish he at least had the deceny to shut his lying mouth.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 7:06amBecause Jimmah is the king of class and showing the Right respect? Bush may be fairly unpopular but he has the class to shut up and go away when his term was up. He refuses to criticize Obama and never did a fraction of the opposition attacking either Jimmah or Obama did while in office. Carter cant shut his mouth, going on foreign tours bashing Americans and constantly jumping in to attack the Right as you see right here. So no, I’m sorry but the man squandered what little respect he was due with his lack of dignity.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 3:42pmJimmy and Rosalind are Marxists. They were friends with mass suicide Marxist Jim Jones in the 70s. People were not told of Jones’ connection with the Soviet Union or that the mass suicide was an act of Marxist rebellion. Jones gave the Soviet Union over 7 million dollars of the cult’s money days before the mass suicide. There is video on YouTube of Jones and his followers, in their own words, planning the murder of a US Senator in the name of the Marxist Revolution.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 6:27pmYou know, I think Annapolis and the State of Georgia owe the rest of us an apology. Billy was apparently the smart one, and all he knew how to do was brew bad beer. The shoe is on the other foot: Jimmy is now the one embarassing the family.
It is absolutely stunning that someone would use the word “oligarch” for a movement so disparate that the onlys things we can all agree on are that 1.5 trillion dollar deficits are bad (Democrats don’t get this), that a $13 trillion national debt is worse, and that hiring hundreds of thousands of federal employees and calling it “job creation” is taking us in precisely the wrong direction.
Leftists need synchronizing signals, which are spoon fed to them by their masters as “talking points”. .
On the right, we call them “principles”, and we actually tolerate honest difference. Imagine that, if you can, Jimmy.
Didn’t think you could. Why you go put a flower on Yasser Arafat’s grave, and bless the rest of us with pregnant but uninterrupted silence?

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 6:21pmAnd who are all these huge numbers of GOP and Tea Party oligarchs? Looks to me that the oligarchs are all on the progressive side. These socialist millionaires and billionaires want to make sure that no one else ever has a chance to attain wealth or success. And never have to face competition from rivals. Socialism is built on a false premise of egalitarianism. No socialist society has ever existed where there was not a small group of elitists or a powerful political party making all the decisions.

Look him up. Up until this last week, when you googled him you were immediately sent to Wikipedia, except he’s now purchased 1st position on the search engine to put up “his honorable web page.” (Remember, he’s in the NYT quoted as saying, “It’s hard to be a God, but he’s got it under control so he can sleep at night.”)
Notice in the more honest version and story about his life on wiki & how it notes that he helped kill his own mother.
He was convicted of insider trading, he lied when he was young, he had parent‘s who lied to hide him from the Nazi’s and he’s been taught good principles and been taught to honor others (yeah right, you saw the note about killing his own mother, right?) This is the guy that gave money to the NPR issue last week —- yeah, we’re getting the whole truth, nothing but the truth from his own webpage, aren’t we. Interesting that he’s trying to re-write his own history and he’s hiding from himself. Way too much truth out there that wasn’t written by his own pen (or his own paid people.)

Vote for the failing of the U.S. system of the progressive, or vote for the country I (they) remember and love?? I want to think they remember who and what they are. I want to think they can overcome the garbage and clutter thats been introduced these last several years.
I think they know that if somebody does not stand up for the original ideals that made us great and prosperous and most of all free, all will loose. I think they are smart enough to realize that once those liberties are lost, they will never return.
The choices are clear. Tea party members do not want to loose their country or their freedom. Progressives want a socialistic government where its citizens work for the government, not the common good of their fellow man.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 9:10pmThat is because all Democratic presidents have been pathological narcissistic liars and feel they must convince us to believe the lie they have themselves swallowed.

We contracted with some of our NeoCon people in The GOP to coopt the movement. We contacted our MSM people to play up several NeoCons to be self annoited as the “leaders.” They held a national convention at which time the cooptation took place.
Now you KNOW why we aren’t afraid of the Tea Party coopted movement. Now you KNOW why any talk of violence even in defense of your “liberties” is the message you’re receiving.
