Reply #4: Who chose to support and lend credence to the repukes? [View All]

Not I, surely; perish the thought!

Not NDY, either.

I'd say the majority of us in the disability community who support Not Dead Yet's positions are pro-choice. Many of us are gay or lesbian, including some in NDY leadership roles. Many are atheist or agnostic. Who we are collectively ought to be enough to differentiate NDY from the pro-life camp. But it seems -- seems, I say: I'm not sure this is accurate -- that progressive groups are so locked into the debate as defined by the pro-lifers that they're not willing, or are unable, to give weight to our perspective on these issues. Even though these issues primarily affect our community more than any other group of people.

Somehow I doubt the repukes want that kind of support*!

I have pointed out time and time again that the repukes jumped on the Terri bandwagon only after it was too late to get the tube put back in. They only wanted, as you so aptly put it, a political grandstand, one that I emphatically do NOT support, or lend credence to.
