Current Events » in reply to The dog that is not barking: Edwards' bizarre claims that criples will walk if Kerry is elected

re: Elect John Kerry and the blind will see!

The blind will see their savings taxed away along with the rest of us...

I expect Bush to bring up this "Kerry as Miricle worker" subject in the debate.

Kerry has his running mate blatently giving false hope to people in an attempt to win votes. That's morbid.

Even my loving spouse (Anne Leftleaner) who is a staunch Democrat was sickened by that comment by Edwards. She works as an Occupational Therapist and believes that people with cripling injuries need to be told the truth instead of given false hope that it will all be better soon. There are no huge breakthroughs on the horizon for people like Christopher Reeves. Its a sad fact...And the therapy that Reeves recieved was far beyond what could possibly be given to all the patients who have injuries like his.

Maybe in 30 or 40 years we will have better answers.
