The Democratic National Committee will honor former President Jimmy Carter with a prime-time speech during its national convention on September 4, 2012. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the 2012 convention chairman, released a statement: "A lifelong champion of human rights and investments in education and energy to spur economic development, President Carter will provide unique insight into President Obama’s ability to move our country forward and why we need his vision and leadership for a second term."
Mayor Villaraigosa and other Democrats must have overlooked how President Carter recently accused fellow Democrat President Obama of violating human rights. Carter wrote in the New York Times that Obama violated 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Carter considered it “disturbing proof of how far our nation's violation of human rights has extended.”
President Carter will make the address via video. Carter joins a growing list of Democrats who won't attend the Democratic National Convention this year. Kevin Price of the US Daily Review speculates that the candidates don't want to appear associated with unpopular Democrats including President Obama (D), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
The list includes: Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.VA.), Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.VA.), Rep. Mark Critz (D-PA), Rep. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT), Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin (D-W.VA.), Rep. Bill Owens (D-NY), Rep. John Barrow (D-GA), Rep. Betty Sutton (D-OH) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).

Then your only remaining choice is to tell lies about him, smear his name, and make up crap.
Because otherwise, all the kids might have sympathy for the devil, and refuse to join your Religion.
If you opponent does anything good, deny it.
If he brought Inflation down, deny that too.
Claim his programs didn't work, and reap the benefits yourself when they pay off.
Even FDR, the liberal icon, reportedly lengthened the Great Depression for 7 years with his economic policies. AND placed the Japanese-Americans behind barbed wire, simply because of the color of their skin. Even the FBI, hardly the most progressive institution under Hoover, said it was unnecessary.
He cries a good sob story an may win some softhearted (and weak-minded) votes for BH Obama.
I really feel sorry for you. That must have been a dark time in your life.
I remember Larouch giving a speech on TV about his "missile defense" plan.
Lasers, Satellites, very Star Wars.
Unfortunately, putting lasers in orbit would be incredibly costly; they require refueling with lasing gases.
So, either you never test them, and HOPE the gases don't leak out before you need to swat down a missile, or you test them to make sure they work, and have to refuel them.
The entire fleet of Shuttles couldn't have kept up with the demand launching once per month. Which was a lot more frequent than we ever pushed it.
Jimmy Carter came in on very high inflation rates, and determined the only way to reduce them was to raise interest rates. That reduced the amount of money in circulation, but it caused a short Recession.
In case you hadn't heard, there's reason to believe that Reagan's front men negotiated with the Iranian Government NOT to release the Iranian hostages until Reagan was elected.
And they released the hostages promptly, didn't they?
If it hadn't been for the sandstorm, Carter's helicopter raid to rescue the hostages would have succeeded. Reagan wouldn't have been elected, and we wouldn't have this huge National Debt today.
Reagan almost tripled the Debt all by himself. HW Bush doubled it, and of course, Bush II did his VERY best.
We think it would hurt their feelings.
Because to the rest of us, you're foaming at the mouth about things you IMAGINE President Obama MIGHT have done.
Nixon paid GOP operatives to break into the Democratic Headquarters and look for ... something. Blackmail material?
What crimes do you imagine Obama has committed?
Because I have to tell you; there are THOUSANDS of well funded GOP operatives DESPERATELY searching for something to use.
Sheriff Joe even sent his deputy to Hawaii, on the taxpayer's dime. To find... something. Anything.
And if these brave GOP investigators had found anything; anything at all; they would have used it.
The proof that the Birthers are idiots is that they never realized that the GOP was in there before they even had the idea, and realized there was nothing to use.
Sheriff Joe even blamed the Republican Candidates for not pressing the Birther angle; they probably smirked and told each other "look, a useful idiot".
keep believing...........
Find me a Republican who calls Nixon a "statesman" like Dems do for that fool Carter.
And if you think Bush could have stopped 9/11 from happening, you are deluded.
An actual criminal and a war criminal.
As far as Bush43 being a 'war criminal', Obama has continued most of the policies of the previous administration, and even started an extra war or two.
