Where do you even begin with shit like this?
“If ever there was an election with consequences, this presidential election is a case in point,” Schock said while speaking at the fair’s Director’s Lawn at the Republican Day rally.
“The last time we had this level of socialism being proposed and inexperience at the helm was Jimmy Carter,” said Schock (who was born four months after Democrat Carter left office in 1981).
Words fail.

Bush Campaigns for Schock
I would love to see where Obama said that.
Does this guy have the historical knowledge of an elementary school child?
The select quotes above and in the diary don’t do justice to how much of a complete tool and fool Aaron Schock is. Please read it.
…is Aaron Schock talking about “inexperience” and comparing Obama to the “socialist” (?!) Jimmy Carter, when Schock wasn’t even BORN yet during Carter’s term.
I’m still waiting to hear about it.
Jimmy Carter was hardly a socialist. He was the most moderate (read “conservative”) Democratic President since Grover Cleveland. Then again, Schock would probably have no idea who Grover Cleveland was.
Carter’s level of experience was certainly more than that of George W. Bush.
Schock is the youngest candidate for Congress in the country and has no real world experience outside the cocoon of GOP politics. His opponent, Colleen Callahan, otoh, has 30 years of real world experience. This just points it out.
Did Schock take remedial level courses in college or high school? If not, he needs them. Roman Hruska returns.
… that Stu Rothenberg his a ginormous hardon for?
That comment was very very stupid. In light of all of this, I hope Callahan can get a bounce in support and win on Election Day.
he’s probably going to win… Redistrict his ass in 2010, IL is losing some seats arent they?
who doesn’t know how ignorant he really is. He doesn’t deserve to carry Jimmy Carter’s shoes.
I absolutely love this title.
