HA!!!Peach, I'm sure you are a very nice person, but you have no business discussing politics. You just don't know very much. And you don't pay attention to what you are typing.
If we go by your "logic" (bolded), then Obama being re-elected means that things have been good under him. Correct?
It's just like the OP - you wingnuts cannot talk out of both sides of your mouths and have it both ways.
As for Carter's re-election, he was primaried from the Left by Edward Kennedy. It was very divisive and split the Democratic Party.
If you knew more about politics, you would already be aware of this. Reagan barely beat Carter, and would have lost to a united Democratic Party.
I was in my twenties under Carter and he was a terrible President.
You are the one who should not be discussing politics and have no clue about facts.
I was a registered Conservative Democrat back then.
1980 Primaries
Carter - 51.13%
Kennedy - 37.58
The 1980 convention was notable as it was the last time in the 20th century, for either major party, that a candidate tried to get delegates released from their voting commitments. This was done by Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
Votes at the convention.
Carter - 63.63%
Kennedy - 34.38%
The Dems voted for Carter by almost 30%
You are upset that Conservative and Moderate Dem's did not want Kennedy.
Democrats who supported many conservative policies were instrumental in the election of Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1980. The "Reagan Democrats" were Democrats before the Reagan years, and afterward.
Regan barely beat Carter?
Popular vote
Regan - 50.8%
Carter - 41.0%
Electoral vote
Regan - 489
Carter -49
No, I am upset that Kennedy challenged Carter, giving the office to Reagan.
And why did you post percentage of popular vote instead of the vote totals?
The [federal] Government should never be in Housing in the first place, or Education, or Health Care.
Blame the banks?...Holy shit..8.4% is low? If that was the rate now, you all would be screaming that Obama is destroying the world!
You wingnuts are hilarious!
compared to 17%, you bet it is. of course remember it was republicans who brought it down from the carter highs, not obama. Also remember if you had your money in a bank under nixon or ford, they were paying you 5% . what do you get under obama? less then 1% Sweet. but so typical of a lib not to look at the total picture
Blame your bank. Presidents do not set mortgage rates or savings account rates.
Inflation never rose higher than 12% under Carter.

So, what you're telling us is you are incapable of telling the truth. Reagan obliterated Carter and inflation under good old Jimmy got to a high of 18% as Time magazine reported....
"He promises budget cuts and credit curbs, but more is needed
As Jimmy Carter stepped before the television cameras in the East Room of the White House last Friday, his task was not just to proclaim another new anti-inflation program but to calm a national alarm that had begun to border on panic. Inflation and interest rates, both topping 18%, are so far beyond anything that Americans have experienced in peacetimeand so far beyond anything that U.S. financial markets are set up to handleas to inspire a contagion of fear. Usually confident businessmen and bankers have begun..."

I see that katzndogz has taken the bait.
Trajan and Redfish argued that Obama didn't win in landslides because the popular vote was so close.
If that's the case, Carter lost by less votes to Reagan than McCain lost to Obama.

Yep, synthy doesn't know much...and what he does know is wrong!
The USA will come back under Dems. Voodoo and pandering to the rich has been a disaster for 30-40 years...
Mark this event folks. He didn't say the word "dupes." Jump for joy my friends, he went one whole sentence without saying it.

Or are you claiming that the Democrats weren't divided?

Absolutely...!
I pine for the good old days when Jimmy Carter was president and everything was perfect...

We're laughing your lack of knowledge
Only an idiot claims that the Dems were SO divided they allowed Reagan to win by one of the largest margins in history.
Things were not bad when Carter was POTUS, no matter how much wingnuts try to rewrite history.Absolutely...!
I pine for the good old days when Jimmy Carter was president and everything was perfect...
He was a one term President.
Synth.. liar supreme
