Bachmann Says Migraines Won’t Be a Problem if She’s Elected President.

[elleng]

“Let me be abundantly clear — my ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as commander in chief,” Mrs. Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, said in a statement. She described the headaches as “easily controlled with medication.”

1. I understand that she's running on the heavay burtation platform.

[Danger Mouse]

2. If she's elected president, migraines will be a problem for ME.

I will be having them.

[elleng]

17. Won't we all, and much of the world.

:crazy:

[valerief]

3. She IS a headache. nt

[hobbit709]

4. Lots of things are "easily controlled with medication"

But STOOPID isn't one of them.

[la la]

5. it's only fair----

she gives the rest of us headaches--migraines or not!

[getting old in mke]

6. So she's saying

her ability to function effectively will not affect her ability to serve as commander in chief?

Good to know...

7. How about we NOT destroy Bachmann before she's a candidate

...otherwise we may leave the Repugs with viable candidates.

12. I think these little problems suddenly surfing up with the candidates

are coming from the Repugs. They don't want her as a candidate either. I can imagine a conversation that went on at the RNC that is something like this:

Q "Is there anything about Bachmann that we can leak to the press?"

A "Well, we could ask ex-staffers about things that could make her look like a flake."

[Phoonzang]

18. Exactly.

I don't understand why liberals are focusing their attacks on the candidates that would be easy to beat. I see very few Romney posts on this board.

[eilen]

21. Maybe the Democrats should focus on preventing their

own candidate from cutting off his own head and to desist planting a knife backs of his party members first.

[elleng]

19. Its true. Don't know which would be most 'viable,'

and doubt 'professional' repugs will let her run, but your point is a good one, TrogL. We shouldn't kick ourselves in the a**.

[AC_Mem]

8. So, just to make sure I understand

as long as she has drugs, she can still make presidential decisions that will affect America while she has blinding migraines.

ok, got it.

:popcorn:

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. I want to know WHAT medication she is taking.

Seriously.

[Cleita]

9. If she is elected President, it's the American people who

will have the migraines.

[ThoughtCriminal]

10. I would rather have a 4-year migraine

Than see her anywhere near that Office.

And I get them, so I have a pretty good idea of what hell is like.

[firehorse]

11. She can borrow some of Rush's oxycotin

to get her through the stress.

[Drahthaardogs]

13. No brain = no headache.

eom.

[applegrove]

15. I knew someone once who had migranes. They say it can be caused by stress. He was completely in the

closet, so much so he wouldn't admit it even to himself I believe. Perhaps the truth about Michelle Bachman's husband's sexuality is being repressed by both in the marriage and this is the cause. One thing for sure. Michelle has been doing an awful because she is suppossed to obey her husband according to the bible. And she has demonstrated that she is quite comfortable believing lies (claims that the debt ceiling doesn't need to be raised).

16. How can anyone tolerate this freako? nt

[RZM]

20. Sign 'O The Times

In JFK's day this type of thing was not a public issue.

Won't matter anyway. She won't be the nominee and certainly not president. But she will be good for some entertainment.

[mysuzuki2]

22. If Bachmann is elected president

her migraines will be the least of our problems.
