In reply to the discussion: Jimmy Carter Is 'Coming to the End' [View all]BigmanPigman
(52,153 posts)67. I was 18 in 1980 and my 1st voting experience
was choosing this good man. I sincerely knew he was a man of character and respect. It really was a wake up call that the GOP was pure evil. If Reagun was the best they had to offer then fuck them! I was politically active in my late teens as were most of my friends/roommates in art school in NYC in 1980. We were glad when he was shot. I have I had the GOP on my radar back then. When my grandmom died she still had an invitation to Carter's Inaugural Parties from when she worked to support him. Her neighbors in FL couldn't stand to see her Dem Yard Signs. She loved to piss them off. I guess it is in my DNA.

President Jimmy Carter has more grace, decency, and character in his pinky than the ENTIRE GOP

Reagan's sabotaging Carter's election by holding the hostages until after January 20th was awful.

I'm happy that Carter is coming to the end because he is no longer living, just surviving.
