I am so angry at your vote on the Treaty on the Rights of the Disabled I could spit. I admit, that as a Democrat, I don't really feel that I should have much say over how you vote, as you represent the other party. And thus, I take your occasional votes that I agree with as a happy bonus, such as your vote in 2010 to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. But your vote today on the Treaty on the Rights of the Disabled sets a real low. To vote against a treaty which codifies US law due to asinine fears about a UN takeover is just shameful. You voted for the Iraq war which caused many, many men and women to become disabled, and with this vote today you told them to drop dead. You told them that their sacrifice meant not one whit. You, and the other 37 GOPers who voted against this treaty will go down in infamy.
