Oh, my gosh, Jimmy Carter.

Please don't anyone flame be but I was very young and very stupid and a Democrat. I voted for him (as I cower saying, don't hit me) TWICE.

I was 18 the first time and my college roommate talked me into it! Really, it wasn't my fault. I lived in the same room with her. It was Stockholm Syndrome.

However I redeemed myself, became a Reagan Republican and have voted that way since.

There is hope for young, dumb democrats.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

(well, in all honesty, maybe not the young part quite so much anymore...)

Maybe Jimmy will negotiate a truce with the sniper. Perhaps grant him an annual kill quota and the Republican districts of Georgia in excange for a smile and a promise.

By the way, doesn't the N Korean leader resemble Mini-Me?

Yep - You turned out just fine! :)

My best friend, a staunch conservative, had a similiar Jimmy Carter thing in '76...but she unbelievably still sticks up for him! I think it's one of these 'trying to retain youthful exuberance' things.

Let me see, i guess my first vote was for Bush/Quayle in 1992. My mother was a California liberal, but i got my politics from my grandparents
