An adult child is still your child. I would give her a break on that. I have no intention of voting for her but making an issue of this would be hugely tacky. I believe her comments were heart felt. Even if they were not, kids are off limits. That includes adult kids unless the adult inserts themselves. Carly used the story to explain her position but that does not mean I favor using it back. We should have the class to leave these sorts of things alone. There are other things to pick at.
It does not make sense because they were talking about the War on Illegal Drugs and NOT LEGAL drugs (prescriptions and alcohol).
This is not even her child, and the mother, as you can imagine, is very upset at Carly for using the death of her child for political gain.
