That view is not a centrist view, you being a registered Democrat, whatever that means, doesn't change it. Centrist isn't about party registration, it's about ideology.

Oh hey... let me pretend to be a "centrist" so I can bash Carter. That's a real LOL-fest right there.


Hey folks? Can someone explain to me why is it that when Bush is ridiculed, a bunch of the righties around here all go bonkers and start screaming that it's the past and off-limits, yet crying about a Democrat president from the '70s is A-OK?

Some people think that having far right and far left views makes you a centrist. I guess they figure they cancel each other out? Or someohow voting Democrat makes you a centrist. I don't know.

Not only was he one of the worst presidents in history but he is absolutely the worst ex-president in history.

Sorry, but anybody who tries to claim that doesn't know history. Go Google Franklin Pierce, for one. There have been much, much worse.
