Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain accused North Carolina's Republican Party of being "out of touch with reality" over its refusal to pull an advertisement criticizing Democrat Barack Obama.

Are you really going to vote for someone who is 100% disabled in the eyes of the military and receives a tax free disability pension to boot??
Wow. I'm really surprised your FR account is still active after saying that.

FR supports our war veterans, particularly those who are disabled. We believe they are still worthy human beings. In fact, you may be surprised to discover that there are quite a few disabled people on our forum whom are highly regarded...
