most republicans i know stick to the foxnews party line on anything, which may include arguing one way on monday and the complete opposite way on tuesday.

i don't know what, if anything, foxnews says about the ada, but when the topic comes up, every republican i know talks about how they or some family member really benefits from it. somehow they don't seem to have the usual objections to the gubmint telling businesses what to do and all that.

republicans can sometimes be liberal on certain issues when they can see the impact of policies on themselves or their family.
