[democratisphere]

1. Extreme redumbliCON corruption, malfeasance and propoganda

have no limits or boundaries. Who knew it would ever get this bad.

[elleng]

2. $$$

[Warpy]

3. What he didn't see was that inflation was increasing thanks to OPEC

and wages were falling far behind, thanks to a corrupt media that allowed politicians to blame American workers for causing it.

That's what he didn't say.

4. what happened? Reagan happened

[liberalnarb]

5. Reagan was the personification of what Carter was warning about in this speech.

6. it sickened me how many Americans fell for his schtick

I was pretty young and I remember that being the first time I realized how easily people could be fooled

[liberalnarb]

7. From first glance he came across to me as a slimy creep.

I don't understand the infatuation people had... I REALLY don't understand the infatuation some people still have.

[Skittles]

10. I easily saw throught him and his snobby wife

ugh

[Hoyt]

8. With the economy going into the 1980 election, Reagan, or any other GOPer, was a sure thing.

Not saying better.

9. the answer is republicans.

i've always believed that Jimmy Carter is the most underrated president of my lifetime. Life would be very different if he had been listened to and respected as he should have been. jmo
