Again, this is nothing new in the scheme of ex-presidents and current. There have been many ex's that have spoken out against the currents.
The issue here is that the GOP perhaps fear that Carter's voice is respected too much and that people may listen to what he says and there maybe truth in what he says. Otherwise, why do you care so much and why is it such a big deal to you?
Every person in the US has the right to speak out and to voice their opinion. To say an ex-president cannot is wrong and against what this country stands for. You may not like what he says and there may not be any merit or fact behind what he says, BUT he still has the right to say whatever he wants.
Just because he was an ex president and voices his opinion does not mean it is any more valid or any less valid than anyone else's nor should anyone sit there and pass judgement and say "how dare he". He's exercising his right, just as you are when you say "how dare he."

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
