You missed my point by miles.

Let's go back to the start. I didn't make fun of McCain, or any people with disabilities. I made fun of your rabid efforts to slam Obama at every turn, as you are pretty funny sometimes. You said McCain was a beaten and broken individual. That doesn't sound like the sort of person you would want in the White House. Your attack on Obama backfired and made McCain look like a lousy choice. I thought that was funny, not the disabled part. Now who sounds silly?

I don't think physical disabilities have anything to do with it. Broken in spirit and mind doesn't make for a great leader. We know his computer use (or lack of) has nothing to do with physical disabilities because McCain himself said that it didn't. He used the word illiterate to describe his own computer abilities. That doesn't mean disabled, just unable. The physically disabled card was played by apologists from his party, it was 8 years ago, and he denied it himself. Drop it already.

Now, did you compare McCain to Stephen Hawking? I just threw up in my mouth.

The mayor of my city is in a wheelchair. He carried the flag at the Turin Olympics in that chair. He has been a champion for the disabled. He is a so-so mayor IMO, and his own party has chosen another candidate for the next election, but that has absolutely nothing to do with him being in a wheelchair.
