  • No. I don't. It's a terrible position to begin with and vow to continue to deny the rights of someone, to her face, because she supposedly isn't able to do precisely what it is that she is doing right in front of him, is simply inhumane. When it gets down to the facts of the matter, there is no honesty to appreciate in the first place. He's not only wrong, but lying. Additionally, he later changed that position once his running-mate's child started getting increased media attention.

  • "um?"? What kind of comment is that? "um?".

    :-p

    I know it is 2 years later ,hopefully your still their

    In Europe disabled have more rights then the U.S.A.

    They get home help, power wheelchairs, even pay family

    to be attendents in U.K. , Holland encourages home care

    instead of nursing home care because it is cheaper and

    much better, only the sickest go to nursing homes whos

    minds are totally gone in Holland and they only put

    patients to sleep who ask for that.

  • @freba90 This makes me sad. :(

  • @AerosmithNirvana I live in Texas and our Gov.is just as bad.He cut funds for the poor,disabled etc.while he

    lives a life of luxury.Now he is running for president.

  • I'm glad that he didn't get elected, but I do think he answered this question very well. He answered honestly and practically. He can't derail his platform by making an exception just because on disabled person puts him on the spot. Whether you agree or disagree with his position on the subject, you have to appreciate his honesty.

  • ASSHOLE!!!!! I see No improvements... I am disabled and I have seen no one that is on the electing block even offer to stand up for our rights... Our officials make me sick!

  • um?
