Ex-Prez Carter: Bush has brought U.S. "international disgrace"

[cal04]

Former President Carter is urging northern Nevadans to elect his son, Jack, to the Senate to help combat a Bush administration he says has brought "international disgrace" to the country.

The former president told a crowd of about 300 on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno today that the nation is more sharply divided that it has ever been as a result of Bush's policies.

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, he says he's deeply embarrassed that the American government now stands convicted around the world as one of the greatest abusers of civil rights. He continued the theme in a dinner speech to 700 at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, saying every past president has been a supporter of human rights, until this one.

Jack Carter is bidding to unseat Republican Senator John Ensign. Both father and son said Ensign must go because he has voted 96 percent of the time with the Bush administration. They say that in addition to bungling foreign policy, Bush has cut taxes for the rich to the detriment of working Americans.

AND RECOMMEND!! Despite being pretty close to a "Chomsky-socialist", I hold Jimmy Carter in very high personal regard. That extends to his mother and wife, and children too. As a "successful President"? --- perhaps not. But as possessor of a Moral Compass; I'd rate him higher than Jack Kennedy. As for "you know who"?? Don't even mention his name in this discussion!
