Reply #7: Jimmy Carter is a much, MUCH more legitimate rep of the American people than

[Peace Patriot]

Condi Rice or Bush, or anybody they appoint. They stole two elections. They represent 28% of the people (the brain dead--and the war profiteers).

Most people want peace. Indeed--something not very many of us know--56% of the American people opposed the Iraq War from the beginning (Feb. '03, NYT poll; other polls 54-55%)--a significant anti-war majority that has grown into a whopping, epochal anti-war majority of 70%.

Carter is aware of this. He founded the Carter Center. He knows about stolen elections. And he sees what's happening here--rebellion! So he's out there laying the ground work for peace (which has to start with Israel/Palestine, where most people ALSO want peace), on behalf of all of us. Such a brave and good man--such an incredible contrast to the mass murderers and torturers, and greedbags and master thieves, who have been illegitimately ruling over us during this fascist nightmare.

And whether he succeeds or not, in getting peace talks started--and whether WE succeed or not, in restoring our democracy--he is setting a wonderful example of what real leadership is, and we, too, in all our public activism--on election fraud and election reform, on the war, and on so many critical issues, and in so many ways--are setting an example for others in our country and for our children, of what good citizens do in a democracy. It may be a longer and more difficult job than many would like to face, to restore democracy here, to curtail the global corporate predators and war profiteers who are oppressing us and others, and to achieve world peace. But you've got to start somewhere. That could be Jimmy Carter's motto--in all the disputes that he has brokered, and all the democratic institutions that he has helped develop around the world. You've got to start somewhere.
