If you keep talking about this "we", then when Teddy is a darling of self-professed liberals and he goes after Carter, and then doesn't support him a whit in the general election... see, this isn't making sense. Hindsight that Carter was loved for his environmental work, among other things, is a re-writing of what happened during the primary. And JFK was partly elected by being a bigger hawk than Nixon. JFK liked the idea of putting nukes in Canada and the notion he would have backed away from Vietnam is rose-colored hindsight with nothing to back it up. Apparently the liberals you speak of also happen to be of the white variety. But I guess getting Nixon for the sake of purity of virtue was worth it to some.

We didn't do anything to Carter You didn't.......Carter begs to differ with you: "Carter wrote that the most intense and mounting opposition to his policies came from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, which he attributed to Ted Kennedy’s ambition to replace him as president. [48] Kennedy, originally on board with Carter's health plan, pulled his support from that legislation in the late stages; Carter states that this was in anticipation of Kennedy's own candidacy, and when neither won, the tactic effectively delayed comprehensive health coverage for decades.
