18 year old daughter just got home and we are going together for her to vote for the first time. She is voting for Obama to get rid of Clinton, can’t vote for Romney because he is too wishy washy and he could change his mind when in office. Her words.

Sounds like she hasn't been brought up with conservative principles in the home. Those values should be taught at home, while liberal values are taught in the streets and alleys.

I generally don't defend liberals, but I am driven to defend young liberals and their parents against statements like these.

To be young is to be liberal. It's part rebellion, part innocent ignorance, part youthful dreams and ambition which give one to believe that they can change the world through radical ideas.

Yes, conservative parents should work to instill their ideals in their children, but children will go their own way as they're wont to do. The best one can hope for is that, once the real world begins to open their eyes, they will recall the values of their parents and return to them.
