Jimmy Carter has accomplished something no other former U.S. president has — he notched a 100th birthday. (snip) The proud Democrat, who has grown increasingly weaker in recent months, has told relatives he wants to hang on until Oct. 15, when early voting begins in Georgia, so he can cast his ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter said, his grandson, Jason Carter, told The Atlanta Constitution.

Stop worrying, Jimmy. Alive or dead, someone will make sure you vote - at LEAST once. It may already be true.

Well, happy birthday President Carter. 100, even infirm, is a goal most of us aren't going to see. Assuming you still have your mind and communicate abilities, I wish you more years before you go to see your wife, parents, and others in Heaven.
But if the only thing keeping you alive is to vote on Oct 15, well, don't worry. Democrats have dead voters all the time.

I visited the Carter Library a couple of weeks ago. Having been a teenager during his administration, I have vivid memories of that time period, and I will say the curators did a good job of trying to make his administration look better than I remember it being. Decent man way in over his head and a much better ex-President than actual POTUS.

Jimmy, Jimmy, don't worry, Big Bidet has already ensured your place as Second Worst President- you're not the worst! You made it! But yet you feel you need the Kamel A Hairass insurance policy .... or maybe you're just anxious to notch up to Third Worst President?

I agree with poster #5 in that Carter was a better past president than actual White House resident.
His administration was a total cluster mess--couldn't get anything right. His failure to support our best friend in the Gulf Region, the Shah of Iran, led to decades of continued war and unrest in that part of the world.
How much better the USA would have been had Jimmy gone from high school straight to building homes for the Habitat for Humanity organization, and avoided all government employment.

He was a terrible past president. Never missed the opportunity to talk down America on the global stage. He was a petty politician and behind the image a petty and envious man.

As if his legacy wasn't bad enough, his final political misstep is to vote for Kommie Kamala. God have mercy on his soul.

I didn’t know Jimmy Carter was in favor of abortion. It seems odd that he would vote for anyone that is. Think of all those unborn that never go to see their first birthday while he celebrates his 100th. Life is good, Jimmy.

I am 87 years old and Jimmy Carter was the worst president of the United States in my lifetime. Then along came Obama and knocked Jimmy to 2nd worst. Joe Biden has knocked Jimmy down to 3rd worst. That's far enough. Kamala Harris becoming president is the worst thing that could possibly happen to this country. She won't own up to her extreme liberal views but if she becomes president, they will all show up then. I really don't think she is a smart person (putting it kindly) and she proves it every time she opens her mouth. I have never understood how Jimmy Carter could support abortion considering that he was supposed to be such a Christian man and very active in his church. Killing babies in the womb and Christianity just don't go together.

The Shah of Iran was 100% pro-western. He did his best to tamp down radical islam terrorism - - and bring his country into the 20th century.
But Jimmuh took the side of the radical commie leftists - - and stabbed the Shah in the back - - opening the way for the past 45 years of terrorism. Pfooey on you, Jimmuh - - you get not a drop of admiration or sympathy from me!

Jimmy is past his expiration date. They have probably had him vote multiple times already. Thanks to Biden, the 2nd worst president of all time.

His mental acumen was absent when he was president. One an not expect it to get better at the age of 100.

I wonder if they could have pulled some SS protection from Jimmy's nursing home detail to protect Trump.

You can vote for whomever you wish Jimmy just remember one thing before you go. Like President Ronald Wilson Reagan did for you in cleaning up your mess. President Donald John Trump will clean up Sloppy Joe's.

Third worst POTUS, after Obie & Biden. But a great friend and fan of Fidel Castro. When he finally kicks the bucket, I may honor him by turning off my Christmas tree lights for a minute or two.

Morons supporting morons. They never become old enough to learn. In a comparison based on damage to America, I would consider Jimmy third worst behind Doorknob Hussein. Biden will not be removed from first place unless Harris is somehow elected so it's a moving hierarchy.

#6) Thanks to Fraud-Chi's fake Covid vaxx, my wife was on hospice for 14 months before she died. It probably would have been longer if she'd been diagnosed with CJD earlier. She got the CJD, think dementia on steroids from her second Moderna jab.
There's no place in He11 hot enough for Fraud-Chi, Dr, Scarf, and their minions, including all the doctors who pushed the fake vaxx!

I agree #10. It is far better to tell the truth than sugarcoat things. My thought is, that as Carter is soon to meet Jesus, to remember he will be accountable for that vote he casts before a righteous God.

The slobbering fossil Carter would make a better President than Biden or Harris but even in his day he was a complete horse’s ass.
