Jimmy Carter for President!

[Redstone]

I heard on NPR how he put a rocket up bushyboy's shorts at Coretta Scott King's funeral.

Now there goes a man.

Too bad no other prominent Democrats have his courage.

1. Carter remains an inspiration

and his tough speech was a highlight of the '04 convention. I'm glad he spoke out today. Can you imagine how the state of our country must be tearing him apart inside?

[Mythsaje]

2. Carter was probably the best man to hold the office

in a long, long time.

7. forever

4. once you've been President, can you run again non-concurrently?

Just curious--no idea what provisions there are in term limits for this...

[dsc]

6. He absolutely can

He has served only one term and thus can serve another.

[tabasco]

8. Sure you can.

The 22nd Amendment just says you can't be elected more than twice.

Carter could run again and I almost wish he would. He is a great, great man and a victim of scurrilous right-wing traitors who did secret business with Ayatollah Khomeni.

5. I have such deep respect for Carter

I have such contempt for Bush Inc.

[Jayhawk Lib]

9. Yes Carter

was a great president. I never really appreciated him until he was out of office...

[salib]

11. Well he did say that he has been a more successful former President

Than he was a President.

Hey, I regret my vote for Anderson. I was pissed because Carter set up the registration process for a new draft (sucks), after having pardoned all the draft dodgers (wonderful). Cost me scholarships not to register. Made him look like a hypocrit. Little did I know what we were losing.

[Redstone]

14. Many, MANY people did not appreciate him until he was out.

So don't feel bad.

15. He is in great health. He could definitely make it through a four

year term. And even if he had to step down, he could pass it off to a good vice president.

16. What about a Carter/Gore ticket. Think about that combo.
