BG,

I know that the character of this man is very poor. You don't know me, but I can assure you that I can say this with certainty. I was a young adult in my mid-late 20's at the time that he held office.

Carter may well be a fine writer, and convincing debater, but he is very, very, misguided - and ignorant.

A much better man was Adlai Stevenson, who ran for president 20 years and more before Carter. The circumstances of his time were not in his favor, though, and he lost to Eisenhower twice. I was young, but my father, a powerful but self-controlled non-violent man, threw a couch pillow across the room after Ike won in 1956. The popular version of WWII vets voting for Eisenhower was not true. Many of them, including my dad, were not supportive of this, or any other, general. Richard Nixon referred to Stevenson as an "egghead" during the 1952 campaign- which was a compliment, considering the source.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . Bill O' Reilly I think he's a pretty good guy. Aside from his views against recreational marijuana, I'd have to say that generally when it comes to issues that require some philosophical thinking outside of the war in iraq, he'd make a pretty good president. Much rather have him than Bush, and certainly some socialist liberal. Rating: 5
