That was back in the years of my idiocy. I actually voted for that man. The memory of that is enough to create nightmares.
Read from Weasel Zippers:
Jimmy Carter Take a Break From Bashing Israel Just Long Enough to Claim Reagan Beat Him Because of 3rd Party Candidate…
"'Ronald Reagan only had less than 51% of the vote, but he won because of a third-party candidate.'
If you were to suspend reality and assume Carter got all of John Anderson’s 6.6%, Jimmah still would have lost both the popular and the electoral vote…
1980 election results":
It's time for our genius ex-president to re-learn some basic math skills. Repeat after me: 41.0% + 6.6% = 47.6%, which is less than the 50.7% earned by Reagan. You would have been the loser even without John Anderson in the race.

Bear in mind, I'm not saying Carter WOULD have won, but this rightwingnut "analysis" is completely off-base and reflects an almost total lack of understanding of our political system.
You can't just add Anderson's overall popular vote to Carter's and decide Reagan wins. There WERE some states that Reagan won, where if you added Anderson's votes to Carter's, Carter would have more than Reagan, and would have captured those electoral votes that wound up in Reagan's column and not Carter's or Anderson's.
And before you start arguing the point with me, rightwingnuts, do your homework, please. I get paid to explain the electoral system to kids, and I do that quite willingly... but there's not enough money in the world to get me to try to educate the likes of dillweeds like AnonyMouse and JustaDumbass. It's just too time-consuming.
Saying that Carter is losing his mind denotes the possible error of assuming he had a mind to begin with.
I do know that his disconnect from reality is staggering.
If i were in your class, i would have already slapped your gay ass out of your chair. Probably will mess up your hair and lipstick too.
Wow. That just hurts my feelings, JustaDumbass. More homophobic pseudo-tuff guy blather from you... who woulda thought?
