My middle daughter won't. She doesn't feel that she understands the issues well enough. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #25

That's a shame, but I get it. Maybe someone who isn't connected to your family... porphyrian Oct 2012 #29

She's not on DU. She knows my opinions, but isn't political yet. She has none. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #54

You're probably right. And, yes, President Carter was too honest for this system. porphyrian Oct 2012 #57

Become one! treestar Oct 2012 #59

I doubt that, honestly. Glitterati Oct 2012 #40

People have said as much to me. I won't call them out, because that isn't the point. porphyrian Oct 2012 #41
