Jimmy CARTER: It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.

An accomplishment that has fostered peace for over 35 years; few others, if anyone today, can match this.
For those who forgot, got hooked on Fox, or were too young, Google: "Camp David Accords"

I believe that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life.
When I was very young I believed that if I put the tooth that had just come out under the pillow, the tooth fairy would come and take it when I was asleep and leave me a quarter.

Jimmy was a little bummed after he found out that Reagan had treasonously made a deal with Iran for them to hold the hostages until after the election.
I would be bummed, that's for sure.
But for Reagan to use the money from his weapons sales to Iran to fund an illegal war in Central America???
and for his admin to sell crack cocaine in LA for supplemental funds to support their illegal war!!!!!!111666
All factually documented of course
It's astounding!!! They should all be in Jail.
and these current idiots worry about Hillary's e-mails and Benghazi...
I will never understand how some people can be so duped.
What have the repubs ever done for the vets? or anyone??
Nothing, it's just take take take, and then blame the failure of the Gov. to respond on something else.

Clever campaigner, saw an opportunity now one else did and grabbed it. Bad President. Perhaps some part of that was luck but a good deal of it was Carter. Not above stretching the truth - despite his sanctimonious public persona - and flirted with some Southern racists when it was politically expedient in Georgia to do so. You might say so what, or some variation of the "everyone does it argument," but the man and the image were quite different. Very bright, obviously, but a narrow, limited view of the world.

What happened? Well I started getting quarters, and my faith was almost confirmed. Then I woke up one night when my mom was taking away the latest tooth and leaving a quarter.
We had a good laugh, and I learned a valuable lesson.

Thread drift...the OP was about Carter's assertion that the US is no longer a democracy. Regarding Citizens United, he said:
It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it's just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or being elected president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. Senators and congress members. So, now we've just seen a subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect, and sometimes get, favors for themselves after the election is over. ... At the present time the incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody that is already in Congress has a great deal more to sell."

Ron really stinks up the place. It was so great when he left. One turd ruins the soup.
And don't mess with Santa. The fat man lives inside you. He ate our cookies for our sins.

Gee, why do I doubt that if Jimmy Carter was speaking face to face with Ron he would feel
compelled to resort to third grade rhetoric to make himself feel intellectually superior?
