"I knew Al Gore Sr. had voted against it. I wasn't sure on Bush's election date. Thanks for clearing that up.
The funny thing is that Gore, Gore, Jr., and the Clintons are known for being closet racists. But, the Dems give them a pass."
Yes Sir, it is pretty ludicrous how the Democrats pick and choose morality in public, but what is even more maddening, is how they can manage to get the news media to convince people, that a man who gives $ 90K in one single year to the United Negro College Fund is a racist, but a man that has not contributed one penny to that cause, "The First Black President".
It is almost criminal, what is being taught in high school and college journalism classes nowdays, and disseminated in the mainstream media.
It is no wonder extremists in other countries think we are a bunch of infidels, when we call Presidents who use cigars on 18 year old Interns "Womans Rights Advocates" but then take a guy with the class and grace of George H.W. Bush, and try and make him out to look like a racist.

I think that Bush the Elder voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

He was elected in 1966 so he couldn't have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Fal, I guess your comments on the former President Bush have been disposed of...er adressed. However your comments on Carter being a peacemaker cannot be allowed a pass, either. If you call sidling up to and kissing the ring of EVERY tinpot dictator on the planet making peace, well I'd sure hate to see what your version of treason is. Carter was, is and always will be a buffoon. Yes he builds some houses for the poor and thats great, but it doesn't excuse the other garbage he does. Maybe you forgot that the stated reason for giving him the Nobel peace prize was his standing up to GW Bush. I sure as hell wouldn't be proud to share an award with the likes of yasser arafat.
I apologize, I repeated something I heard from a trusted friend that turned out to be false. It happens, show me someone who says it's never happened to them and I'll show you a liar. Again, I stand corrected, and apologize, on the Bush issue.
I was in a sour mood, and seeing a Fox quote never helps. Fox News is one of the most blatently biased news channels. I don't mean to start an arguement about Fox news, but I have seen more than enough blatent falsehoods on the channel and I can't trust them. For me they've lost all credibility.
I stand by my comments about Carter, however. I never said he was a great president. I said he is a good man, with a good heart. You want to fault him for siding with dictators, well show me a president during the cold war that didn't. Hell, our current administration deals with some pretty shady governments. So if you fault Carter, you have to fault them all.

I presume that since you do not watch CNN or read Time, as both were implicated in explicitly fraudulent news programming.
As for Carter, yes, administrations do make deals with shady gov'ts. But Carter is the only President to my knowledge who has ever supported and defended shady gov'ts which were openly and actively hostile to Carter's own nation, including making threats of bringing said nation to its knees (see Chavez's comments in Havana). So, try to do all the moral equivalency you want. It doesn't work without the facts to back it up.
I used to buy that, too, until he started an unbroken string of caustic, positively vile attacks on his own country. His antics during the 2004 elections (Palestinian elections are pristine, while U.S. elections are suspect), his lap-dances with tyrants all over the world (Arafat, Castro), and just most recently, his tasteless politicization of a funeral of a nationally revered public figure, has forced me to completely abandon that position.
As has been mentioned, Carter is in a dubious race between being recorded in history as the worst 20th Century president, and the worst ex-president of all time. Right now, he has both titles firmly in hand.
Yeah, he built some houses. Good on 'im. :barf: :barf:
Actually, I occasionally glance at them just to see what they are saying, same as I do with Fox News. I generally read 3 newspapers everyday, listen to NPR and the BBC, check out google and yahoo news, and sometimes when it is REALLY slow at work, front desk at a hotel, I'll look at and read newspapers from all over the world.
NPR, and BBC aren't biased? I now understand all I need to about all your earlier comments. I won't waste any more time with this thread. Jimmy Carter is a buffoon. Swings a helluva hammer though. To bad he was unwilling to swing away while in office. I have a friend who could have used a shorter stay in tehran.
Did I say they weren't biased? I gather information on MY OWN from a VARIETY of DIFFERENT sources and MAKE MY OWN CONCLUSION. Kind of a novel idea I guess. Maybe I should just listen to right wing radio like Rush :barf: O'Reilly :barf: Savage:barf: Hannity :barf: Coulter :barf: :barf: and follow them blindly and believe every word they say or write.
