Does McCain even have a plan to help those with disabilities?
I'm dead serious here. I have a disabled brother and I am randomly trying to find the McCain plan to help people like him out. I can't find it anywhere on their website.

Am I just being stupid? They've made a big deal about helping out Americans with disabilities, yet I don't see their plan under their list of issues at all.

3. McCain doesn't have a plan for any of the issues. Unless you
consider his usual sentence. "I know how to fix this". That's about it. Yes they talked about it, but never have offered any details that I am aware of.

4. I couldn't find one. Yes, I looked. I'm in the field.
And if I may say so, I'm among the best in the business at ferreting out information from the tubes.

Obama's, on the other hand, is front and center:

5. Wow - there's some good things in there.
I have a daughter with special needs, so this is of interest to me.

Thanks for posting that link.

6. Nope
I couldn't find anything of substance in regards to McCain's stance on Americans with disabilities. It's an important issue to me too - I'm deaf. Obama on the other hand, has a statement on his website, under Disabilities.
