Re the outrageous repug Senate vote against the Disability Treaty and your post...

I'll bet this most recommended comment to the Gail Collins column today on this example of repug shame fits you perfectly...

>>"What no one is saying is that these right wing folks would probably repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act if they could. They all know someone who had to make an accommodation by building a ramp or installing a grab bar in a bathroom who resents the expense. It's like Rand Paul's attitude toward the Civil Rights Act. They look at this progress as an infringement of their liberties. But that's only until it impacts someone in their own families. Witness Dick Cheney on gay marriage, Nancy Reagan on stem cells--the minute their own self-interest comes into play, all of a sudden they're progressive about something."<<
