Carter says Gore won 2000 election

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter delivered a shocker at an American University panel in Washington Monday: RAW STORY has learned he told the crowd he was certain Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election.

There is "no doubt in my mind that Gore won the election," the erstwhile President declared, saying the 2000 election process "failed abysmally."

He also snubbed the Supreme Court for getting involved, saying it was "highly partisan."

RAW STORY reviewed a video clip of the event late Wednesday. The comment came in response to a question from a student who asked Carter how he felt the last two elections were handled.

In the question and answer session of his talk intended to discuss the Baker-Carter commission report on election reform, he also savaged President Bush's handling of FEMA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Carter founded FEMA in 1979.

When I founded FEMA "we put it together with three specific commitments," Carter remarked. "One, that it would be led [by] highly trained professionals in dealing with disasters. Secondly, that it would be completely independent and not under another agency that would submerge it. And third, that it would be adequately funded."

The former president said the key reason for creating the agency was to respond to governors who asked for a consolidation of the 16 bureaucracies previously responsible for emergency relief efforts. Carter said he hoped that the changes he ordered would have remained permanent, allowing for a more effective response to a hurricane now claiming upwards of 1000 lives.

Carter agreed with Bush on one point: "I think that now is the best time not to look back on blaming about Katrina, but to try to correct the defects that have evolved in recent years and make sure it is not repeated."

RAW STORY hopes to get permission to post the video, or at least audio, today or tomorrow.

Ok, I'm not right wing guy by any means, and I would say the same thing if a Democrat had won in the fashion Bush did, It's time to get over it. :nod:

Not much we can do about that now (the election that is)...

Well, with all due respect, it was a crime what the R machine did in Florida and they managed to do it again in 2004. So, should everyone just collectively say "oh well, they stole from us twice - but its okay" - that is BS. I mean if someone robbed you house twice and through your own work years later you caught them, would you be so forgiving :shrug: I think you probably would not - I certainly would not be.

Well, you're right on that. I guess I was trying to say that I know what happened, and I've heard about it 1000 times. But that doesnt make it right.

I know - and ya know I wan't be snappy with ya :angel: :wavey:

Oh, no offense taken. As they say in Australia, NO WORRIES MATE :wavey:

Captain's log...Suplamental...
 

(In a William "Suckass" Shatner voice)- We...are...trying...to...find...a....wormhole...to...go...back...to..2000...and...alter...the...past ...5...years....Spock!!!

Man, Time to get over it, Been 5 (Lousy as f**kin hell) years and most of us Americans had to deal with Bush and his final solution, Time for Peanut-Boy (Does he have the most surreal looking teeth this side of John Elway/Julia Roberts & Mr.Ed or what???) and the Democrats to accept this and get the hell on with their lives.

I'll never get over it. I will fight these bastards with everything I have.
Of course those of you who want to "baaah" your way to the gas pumps and pay $5 a gallon and watch from the sidelines while the country goes down the ****ter are certainly free to do so.

This just in: It's Al Gore in '08


He's back!

Poor Al wants to be president SO bad!

Well, what else do you do to follow up inventing the internet?

AND THEN I'M GOING TO OHIO, AND THEN I'M GOING TO PENNSYLVANIA, AND THEN I'M GOING TO WASHINGTON D.C.!
YEAH! YEEEEAAAAAAAAH!

Well, by pretty much all recounts he won Florida. Did you know that or didn't that sow mention it when she was telling the "truth" :rolleyes:

Before you fire back with a witless response, please do a little research :wavey:

There are no "facts" to indicate that Mr. Gore won Florida, it just didn't happen. I mean really, let's move on...it's time to get ready for 2008 and another defeat for the dem. party!

Again, do some research - I mean do you purposefully fight intelligence or intelligent responses because you come across as an idiot who posts only to piss people off, which you allegedly swore off when you made your triumphant return :rolleyes:

:laugh:
