Michael J. Fox is just the latest victim to be used by the Democrats to promote their awful views.
They always need a victim because they know real Americans won't support their heinous ideas.
I find it absolutely sickening. Michael J. Fox, Christopher Reeve, Cindy Sheehan, John Murtha, and on and on and on. I still don't know of Republicans using this many victims to promote their policies - or any at all.
Where does this logic take you? Michael Fox lowered his serum medication level to achieve a desired effect. That coupled with celebrity requires attention, it seems according to the left. Now lets put up patients with Huntington's chorea, Giles dela Tourette syndrome, and, because medical research has not yet provided a cure for those maladies, lets blame it on Republicans. There is no end to attempting to manipulate a compassionate American electorate. The problem is their delegation of blame is misplaced. Republican ideology had nothing to do with those afflictions and has not refused to attempt procurement of a cure. Once again, the left employs deceit and lies to accomplish what they cannot in the arena of ideas, as Rush would say. So, once again they attempt to camoflage their true beliefs and try to get us to believe their contrivances. Rush obviously read Ann Coulters book, and she is exactly right. How could anyone not feel empathy for Fox. Parkinsons is unforgiving and eventual in its outcome. I would suspect his personal physicians don't appreciate Fox exaccerbating his symptoms for crass political gain, but, it is a free country, despite what Democrats have tried to do to it. TRUTH has long ago evaded the democrat lexicon and certainly their day to day principles. They simply see truth as an obstacle to temporarily deceiving enough people past the second Tuesday of every other November. So, as Bill Clinton famously offered when his polls dipped in 1996 after Flight 800 was shot down and Morris reported that he was in free fall against his republican opponent, he said, "Well, we will just have to win." By this, he meant, we will do anything, and employ any device to gain advantage. I remember when George H.W.Bush ran agains clinton in 1992 he said, he was dissappointed in the election. He thought people would reflect on honor, duty to country, loyalty. But they didn't and Clinton gave us 8 years of hell and crass behavior resulting in humiliation of the office of the President. To this day, I do not believe Clinton and democrats are sorry for any of that except that they got caught.
So here we are at a crossroad. The Republicans have not governed as well as they might have. Yes Foley, once exposed, was expunged from the Congress, unlike Frank, Studds, or Clinton, but they are stuck with their intimidation of Political Correctness....stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. If they had attacked Foley, they would have been labeled homophobes. Not attacking and expelling Foley got them this. So, the lesson is, see the truth, right, fairness, don't lie,...and at least you know you did right. The democrats do not think like this. If we do not stand up and refuse to be forced to make the "Good" the enemy of the "Perfect", our country will be the worse for it. And our children, in years to come, will come to see our failure to hold the line and have, perhaps, an insoluable problem. Vote for who you believe will make our country the best that it can be.
I still don't know of Republicans using this many victims to promote their policies - or any at all. Victim politics is a staple of the left. If the victim is famous and politically favorable to them, he/she/them are beyond reproach.
I sympathize with Michael J. Fox. Who can't? But when he starts plugging his politics into the public arena, he'd better accept that he'll be scrutinized, too.
