Disaboom article re: Presidential candidates stance on disability issues

Renee Reynolds did a very nice job with this synopsis.

The GOP is mute on disability issues save for John McCain. McCain has a life dedication to vets and worked on the ADA. Edwards has us in his platfrorm, Clinton includes us in her health plan, and Obama has his "Disabilities and Equal Opportunities Plan".

Thank you Renee.

McCain claims to support veterans with disabilities, but actions speak MUCH louder than words and he has gone out of his way to show he doesn't give a rats ass about them. If he did he wouldn't consistently vote against bills that would benefit them.

This is interesting because he himself is a veteran with a disability receiving more than $50K in tax free disability payments while claiming he's strong enough to hike the grand canyon. WTF!
