Jimmy Carter Leaves Church Over Treatment of Women

75. He refused to play dirty politics.

Reagan was paying the Iranians to hold the hostages until after the election. The BFEE was encouraging the oil boycott to ruin Carter's popularity at home.
Knowing the facts, after all of these years, it is incredible (and totally in character) that none of the people calling the shots, were ever prosecuted. Reagan(and Bush) committed more crimes to get elected than Nixon did during his entire Presidency. The difference was/is our media. When nixon was in office they were still "the fourth estate." Reporting political crimes and keeping our citizens informed. Reagan changed all of that. I assume that he promised the media that he would end THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE, which leveled the playing field and did create extra financial hardships on the media.
Ending this vital rule also played a significant role in where the U.S. is today. By and for the elites. Only a peoples revolution like "Occupy" can change the tyranny that has taken over America.
