Okay, so they’ve pissed off women, minorities, the young, the elderly …. who’s left?

Disabled people.

I suspect that this Senate would be paranoid enough and mean enough to defeat the any damn thing.

Yeah, screw the blind, the deaf, the lame, and disabled veterans.   This treaty might cause abortions.  And Y2K.  And warts on noses. And disco.  Hell, I dunno.

The opposition was led by Tea Party favorite Mike Lee, who argued that the treaty by its very nature threatened US sovereignty. Specifically he expressed concerns that the treaty could lead to the state, rather than parents, determining what was in the best interest of disabled children in such areas as home schooling, and that language in the treaty guaranteeing the disabled equal rights to reproductive health care could lead to abortions. Parents, Lee said, will “raise their children with the constant looming threat of state interference.”

That right there is a spigot of crazy crap flowing into a cup of schizophrenia.

I wonder if they just rolled Ole Bob Dole out to the dumpster after they defeated his plea for sanity.
