This is all you need to know about John McCain's stance on disability rights:

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.

Until a person walks in your shoes they don't understand or sometimes even care. Life is funny and sometimes teaches us the hard way. Gov. Wallace had hate in his hard for blacks and nothing anyone could say would change that. Then God stepped in with the lesson of equality. As Wallace was shot and a black man came to his rescue life's lessons were learned. Wallace publicly apologized to the black Americans for his pass action and lived the rest of his life working to repair the damage he had done. McCain isn't looking that good these days and who knows what the future holds for him.
