Mitchell Bemoans Defeat Of Disability Treaty: 'Everything That's Wrong With Capitol Hill'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/05/2012 12:09:05 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What are the odds that Andrea Mitchell has thoroughly read the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, let alone a systematic, serious critique of it, as this one appearing at The Daily Caller?

But that didn't prevent Mitchell from bemoaning the defeat of the ratification of the treaty in the Senate yesterday thanks to Republican opposition,. Introducing a segment in which she and sponsor John Kerry engaged in a spate of mutual handwringing, Mitchell kvetched that the defeat "seemed to underscore everything that is wrong with Capitol Hill."

Andrea, your “master” hates the family just as much as you do.

I’m sure you’ll be given a special job in the afterlife.

The advocates of Global Government are out of the closet.

Yes, and it involves a shovel.

Andrea fails to realize that this treaty would require *her* to pay her Mexican landscapers,all of whom seriously injured their backs swimming across the Rio Grande,at a premium rate for their disabling conditions.

I've been saying this for a while. Election Day was "All In" for the media and Leftists. They'd been quiet and behind the scenes for a long time just waiting for the right moment. Once Obama was re-elected, they had no problem coming right out and saying they're Communists and support global governance.

Obama, the MSM, Leftists, teachers, union members... Americans know you're against us. We know you're supporting a global push to disassemble America wholesale. Well Katie, bar the door... you're in the for the fight of your life against those of us who take our role as citizens seriously.

Hey Andrea,

Why would the UN want to have all handicaped persons registered with the UN at birth? The only result I’ve ever seen by registering certain types of persons is that it ends up with a “purging of the undesirables” from society. I’ve never seen another result.

It must be truly wonderful being a leftist, history starts anew every morning and all tragic results from leftist policies are wiped from existence with each new day.

I’m about to the point where I can simply state that persons with disabilities have the right to their disability, and the right to accept charity from those who give it freely, and the rights everyone else has if granted by the Founders, and that’s it.

Looks like the RAT party is OK with surrendering US sovereignty.

GLGB, you have to ask yourself, why do these people live so long in the spotlight?

Major face palm here.

One of the big differences in the members of the MSM and the traitors in our government is that they do not benefit from SS protection.

As homeschooling parents of a special-needs child, my wife and I are sending personal notes of thanks to each of the thirty-eight senators who stood up against this monstrosity. And special thanks should go to Senator Lee of Utah who stopped Dick Durbin’s attempt to ram the treaty through the Senate by unanimous consent on September 18th.

I guess we can thank Republicans for that.

Now straighten out this nasty piece of trash in the WH.

My family lobbied the senate against CRPD and mike lee was one of the offices we visited. His legislative aide was awesome. We had some info from HSLDA and he said we should give it to some democrats who actually need it. I told him our teams were visiting every senate office that day.
