McCain on Rights of the Disabled

WSJ.COM

A wheel-chair bound woman asked McCain about the Community Choice Act, a piece of legislation for disabled Americans that would give individuals greater freedom on where to live. “What that would do is it would end the institutional bias,” the questioner said, then asked him if he would consider supporting it.

“I will not,” McCain responded, “because I don’t think it’s the right kind of legislation.” A trio of people in wheelchairs left the room shortly after his response.

The Wall Street Journal response, naturally enough, is not to criticize McCain's position, or even to suggest that it might merit criticism, but to applaud his "straight talk."

1. I too applaud his straight talk

he keeps telling folks such things as " I don't know much about the economy" and "I don't support the Community Choice Act", help people see what he's selling and it is not in their best interest to vote for him.

Keep talkin' straight Mr. McCain!

5. His hypocrisy is disgusting.

He is considered 100% disabled by the military and receives a check based on that regularly.

He is a well financed disabled person who doesn't give a shit about any other person.

Just as he is a victim of Torture in favor of Torture.

6. He's a pig.
