Kerry on the other hand was the urn that carried the democratic party. I don't know where to start in describing how terrible he was as a candidate.

I don't remember that much about Carter except that he was portrayed as indecisive in his handling of Iran. Sometimes I think he was this way because of his military background and had learned the seriousness of war. The closest Ronald Raygun came to war was in a Hollywood studio but his loose gun approach seemed to work.
I mentioned Kerry because by the time Bush got through with him, his war heroism was changed into shooting some kid in the back. His military background was used against him while the AWOL George Bush stood tall. Looking at Bush and his cronies, no one presently has any military experience, yet these are the guys ineptly starting wars. What experience is best depends on the man.
