Just because someone is afflicted with an illness or disability does not make them an expert on their condition. Even if Mike has done all the studying required to be considered an expert on Parkinsons, are we to assume his strategic goals toward finding a cure will be morally acceptable to the rest of us? I say he showed his desparation, or maybe something else, when he went on record as supporting one candidate over another because only one of them wanted to help toward a cure for his condition.

I've not seen anyone make the case yet that Amendment 2 has anything at all to do with curing Parkinsons. Fox either did or did not know that when he filmed the ad, and in either case, his opinion on the subject is not only morally flawed but also factually flawed. That turns his ads into regular old, "Hi, I'm so and so, and I say vote for Candidate X!" except this time, Fox deliberately tugged some heart strings by allowing himself to be portrayed as a victim of disease first, second rate movie star second. He came off as Little Timmy giving a dying wish.

Fortunately, the only one hurt in this is Fox, probably, so I'm not all that bothered by it.
