Carter reelected?  Man, that is hard to fathom.

it gets worse...when I read the title of this thread, I thought it was referring to a comeback and victory in 2008!  Noooooooooooooo!

Jimmy Carter and Bush43 have something in common, though: 

Carter's naiveté that human rights were the solution to the world’s problems gave rise to the Shiite Revolution in Iran.

Bush43’s naiveté that democracy was the solution to the world’s problems gave rise to a civil war in Iraq that will usher in a new wave of Shiite power, building upon the wave Carter unleashed.

What would you have in place of democracy and human rights?

Christian theocracy and complete adherence to the Bible.

Duh. Tongue

Oh. Right. Of course.

Silly question to ask really.

Actually, contrary to you two, I'm pretty much a status-quo policy person, hence my more moderate econ and social/lib scores.

In answer to your query:  Democracy and Human Rights are great, but offering them to people with pent-up hatred motives can sometimes get you killed.
