McCain supports people with disabilities?

As recently as this month John McCain has voiced opposition to the Community Choice Act. His record on disability issues has been focused almost exclusively on veterans; he's repeatedly voted to cut IDEA funding; and he did not respond to the AAPD's questionnaire.

So of course it makes perfect sense that yesterday, in remarks given to the National Forum on Disability, he vowed to support ADA restoration legislation and said he supports the spirit of the CCA.

Wha? The only universe that this makes sense in is one where a presidential candidate could face such overwhelming failure as to suddenly start adopting all his rival's positions while hoping no one notices.

Oh wait.

If he's sincere, this is a great. I don't like being a cynic, really. And anything to raise awareness of our issues is good.

But still, McCain? Pro-gimp? Pro-ADA? I think I'm going to suspend judgement until I see him put his money - or vote - where his mouth is.
