McCain says Obama running for Jimmy Carter's second term. WTF!?!

[edhopper]

This is his answer to Him running for Bush's third term? Jimmy Carter is the most respected ex-President we've had in decades. He is well liked and well regarded. His proposals, like ended our dependency on foreign oil by this century (wouldn't that have been nice) were prophetic. And then there's that Nobel Peace Prize.
What fucking century and country does McCain live in?

[Richardo]

1. HAHAHA!

God, they got nothin' :rofl:

[Cant trust em]

2. This is such an "I'm rubber and you're glue" argument.

[KingFlorez]

3. McCain just gets funnier everyday

I can't wait to see him lose.

[jimshoes]

4. McLame....

can't you do any better than that?

5. Later, he will say that the microwave oven will be the next great invention!

[That Is Quite Enough]

6. Oh my god, November is gonna be fucking brutal for McBush.

:rofl:

They're grasping at any non-existant straw they can find. Obama's gonna trounce this sewer rat.

[smoogatz]

7. The only actual parallel is that, like Carter, Obama will inherit a hell of a mess

from a terrible and unpopular Republican president. Although Nixon looks like an administrative genius compared to the current dumbasses.

[dubeskin]

8. The same century that Putin is President of Germany

and that his VP search is like "a google."

[Hekate]

9. That was a really weird comment. There's a whole cohort of voters who don't remember Carter....

...so McCain is talking to all the old farts in the country (so to speak -- I remember the Carter presidency) and not the youth. However, there are some people who still think Carter was a fool and/or a bust at the presidency -- my uncle, a retired professor in his late 70s, shocked me by sharply refuting my admiration for our Nobel Laureate.

John McCain -- man of mystery.

25. It's not "weird", it's a trial balloon

I've seen this theme pop up in a couple of places since the end of last week.

A _suspicious_ couple of places...


I'm smelling the hot air of a trial balloon: there are plenty of people (especially among recent (but defectable) Republican voters) who still view Carter's presidency as weak and a disaster, and luckily St Ron saved us.

So McLame's people are trying out running against Obama as the 2nd coming of Jimmy Carter, and seeing if it flies.

[Hekate]

27. Ahhhh. Gotcha. A new meme. nt

[Avalux]

10. His yellow-toothed grin after he said it really creeped me out.

It was if he was really proud of himself for saying it. Voters wondering "WTF?". Idiot.

[tulsakatz]

21. me too!!

...like he thought he had something really clever!! I was thinking......why are you smiling? You're supposed to be making a negative comment, not making a joke!

[EFerrari]

11. The first time he used this, he said Carter's third term.

What an idiot.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. I know you are, but what am I?

McCain has a reality check coming if he thinks he can mimic Obama and still come out ahead.

[Vickers]

13. Better than Wee Cowboy's 3rd term...

:eyes:

[jimshoes]

14. Who is he getting his stump speech advice from

Archie and Jughead"

[smoogatz]

24. The ghost of Lee Atwater, maybe. n/t

[rdenney]

15. Nope its 1996 Clinton vs Dole: McSham loses!

[Lex]

16. That's all McSame can come up with?!

Pathetic.

[bunkerbuster1]

17. Let's look at what Americans think of Jimmy Carter, shall we?

per

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/favorables/presidential_favorables

he's at 57% favorable, 34% unfavorable.

When was the last time Chimpy saw 57%?

[opihimoimoi]

18. The Pubs believe Carter was a loser because of the 1 term,,,just like bush1

[tulsakatz]

19. when you consider that Carter was the last President.......

....to set fuel economy standards (like making cars more fuel efficient), being another Carter is a good thing!! It's certainly a hell of a lot better than paying $4.00 per gallon for gas!!!!

[librechik]

20. They got nuthin. Half the electorate says "Jimmy Who?"

That's why they got nuthin.

[AlCzervik]

22. Way to keep it current Maverick, signed Iceman.

[tuckessee]

23. He DOES have a point.

Zbignew Brezinski.

[pnorman]

26. Obviously, "A vote for McCain would be a vote for a third term for Bush", is getting to him.

He's trying to counter that, by using the same sort of slogan against Obama. But it's BULLSHIT on so many levels! Let him continue in that direction; it only points out how CLUELESS he is!

[VP505]

28. How childish

enough said!

[natrat]

29. what an old crusty dick-he's literally running for the idiot's third term

[Krashkopf]

30. He says that like its a BAD thing!!!

In my opinion, Carter will look much better, in historical perspective, than he does in the MSM, today.

1. Carter inherited a economy that was left in shambles by Nixon’s decision to prolong the Viet Nam war for 6 long years (instead of making good on his “secret plan to end the war"). America blamed Carter for not fixing everything in 4 years. (That should be a cautionary tale for Obama and the Dems);

2. Carter was unable to gain the release of the Iranian hostages but only because candidate Reagan cut a “back door deal” with the Ayatollahs in Tehran to hold the hostages until he took office. That, alone, is what probably cost Carter his re-election;

3. Carter did not violate the Constitution, as Reagan did with “Iran-Contra;”

4. Do you really think we would be fighting for $137/barrel oil, today, if the U.S. had remained committed to Carter’s dedication to alternative fuels?

5. Do you really think we would be torturing people in Gitmo, and abu Ghaib, and black site prisons, and torture ships, if the U.S. had remained committed to Carter’s Human Rights policies?

"Four More Years of Jimmy Carter?" Not only YES, but HELL YES!
