Why does Carter get a bad rap from Republicans?

OK. Carter is a great man and did far more after his White House stint than he did while puppeteering there.
Anyone who questions the mans integrity is a fucking fool.

It is cute when you throw a temper tantrum.

How long are you going to pout and victimize yourself?
 
The man was more fiscally conservative than Reagan and the King of Deregulation. Plus, his appointment of Volcker was much better than the bubble creating and opaqueness of Greenspan.

While, he supported dictators across the globe, his foreign wasn't that relatively atrocious. And the last thing Cons are worried about is atrocious foreign policy.

I really don't see why Cons hate Carter. I think it is misguided hatred.

Carter was a "fiscal conservative?" I'd like to see how you justify that claim.

Here's a few reasons Carter was a loser

Gas lines
21% short term interest rates
14% mortgage rates
12% inflation rate.
Nicaragua went communist
Afghanistan went communist
Mozambique went communist.
Angola went Communist
Iran Hostage crisis
Iran becomes an Islamic dictatorship

Is that enough for you?
 
Republicans need a target. It's deflects from their incessant failures.

Their seething hatred of Carter makes me lol.

Consider the judgment of Erwin C Hargrove, a respected scholar of the presidency, rendered after Reagan’s first 100 days: “Reagan has demonstrated, in a way that Jimmy Carter never did, that he understands how to be president.

Glen Beck is respected by GOPers. I agree Americans will buy BS, if that makes you a better president. There are a lot of neocon idiots that believe Reagan scared the Iranians so bad thet they released the hostages hous after he was sworn in office. The truth is he made a deal for the hostages to be held(prolonging their agony) so he could be president.

Having lived through the Carter years - Dem or Rep - one would know he was a bad deal. I paid 21% interest on our first home then. That's just for starters...

You are right, but inflation and high interest rates were out of Carter's control. Hence, why he appointed Volcker.

That's bull. Inflation is the result of running the printing presses to finance government spending. Volker's tight money policy was oonly necessary because of Carter's run away inflationary policies for the previous 3 years.

[Carter attacked the problem, but you see him as the problem and this is misguided.

Carter created the problem.

I agree that he is not a true fiscal conservative, but by Republicans standards he truly was.

In fact, look what happened when the GOP took over. They created an atmosphere where less taxes and more spending was a good thing and this has fucked use, royally.

lmfao...Carter didn't create the Vietnam War or the out of control printing press to finance it.

Time and time again, you prove yourself to be a rw kook.
 
Why does any Democratic president get a bad rap from repulsive repugs?

Obama sucks, but both Clinton and Carter were more fiscally responsible than Reagan, Bush, and Bush II.

Yet, Contards kick and scream over false notions of socialism. They fabricate a reality that is not there in order to suit their worldview.

But...you're the one that said Obama was 'awesome.'
In fact, you repeated it ad nauseum!

At first, I assumed it was the kind of perseveration associated with many disorders...
...but, combined with the comment on Ronaldus Maximus, it leads to the
overwhelming conclusion, ....a series of concussions?

The good news? There is a guaranteed cure for your condition: the next time you’re playing Donkey Kong, practice bomb disposal at the same time.

This isn't a serious answer. Carter didn't create the problem.

Carter was weak and vacillating. He appointed Volcker only after he tried various other policies to bring down inflation. But Volcker wound up being the best FOMC Chairman ever, and was fired by Reagan, who appointed Greenspan, arguably the worst Chairman in history.

I certainly wouldn't call him the King of Deregulation, though he deregulated some industries such as airlines.

But he was a disaster in foreign policy. He still is.

LBJ's Great Society or whatever it was called was also a big factor in the 70s inflation.

Republicans are actually so stupid they think Regan solved the hostage crisis his 1st 15 minutes in office while taking the oath.

Carter wouldn't have been a great President even in the best of circumstances, but to deny that he was a victim of a shitty situation when he took office is to be a liar or an ignoramous. Wasn't Carter that took us off the Bretton Woods system was it?

Psycho.. Maybe someday there'll be a cure for your cherry picking copy/pastes..
 
The pResident of the US of fallen empire is nothing more than a puppet told EXACTLY what to do.
To do otherwise gets them killed.
Until you idiots realize that, the song remains the same.
Barry had noble ideas while campaigning. A few minutes after inauguration he had some goons "explaining" a few things.

hey Mad Scientist?.....do you always thank some jerk for calling you an idiot?....
