Whatever y'do, don't believe me. Try a search of post concussion problems. We know of double vision. What about cognitive disorders? What about moods ? Nothing but a release of medical records will manage these questions. Sure she has rights to privacy. She also has the right NOT to run for President. Is jpevans' belief we have no right to inquire of these common post concussion phenomena that are not "rare" ? Or is it jpevans believes cognitive disorders and mood changes are not relevant to her competence as President? Any rational Hillary Supporter should want to know whether their candidate is damaged goods who can be trusted with the awesome authority of the President of the United States of America. The willingness Not To Know is evidence of Not Rational, "faith based support" . Moi No
Fine, when & if she announces she's a candidate, her health will be vetted compleatly As will the rest of the candidates. Until then it's fodder for the easily lead to fill the void left by Kenya. IMO
Oh, of course, there is none. He was simply implying that her ability to be president must be questioned, without a single piece of evidence to support such a specious claim and knowing full well that if she did decide to run, ALL of here medical records would be available. But I suppose that is a rather common technique employed by republicans these days. Interesting how some of the base on the right immediately believed it, tho. Bumpersticker politics at its finest.
Colonel K My bet is you wrote your response never, ever doing a search of Post Concussion phenomena. True? If YOU did indeed do an honest search, Please link me to the page you consulted. Thank you. Moi Facts not Faith No
To bandy such details abroad about someone who suffers such ailments is almost worse than doing so about someone who doesn't. As a nurse I have forgotten more about traumatic brain injury than you will ever know.
Thanks for your link. Prejudice is a strong one but, not always accurate. Here is a better link from the Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-concussion-syndrome/basics/symptoms/con-20032705 Post-concussion symptoms include: Headaches Dizziness Fatigue Irritability Anxiety Insomnia Loss of concentration and memory Noise and light sensitivity Headaches that occur after a concussion can vary and may feel like tension-type headaches or migraine headaches. Most, however, are tension-type headaches, which may be associated with a neck injury that happened at the same time as the head injury. In some cases, people experience behavior or emotional changes after a mild traumatic brain injury. Family members may notice that the person has become more irritable, suspicious, argumentative or stubborn. Moi If All You Got Is Personals and No Substance, Take The Last Word No
I found a link dedicated to double vision - http://www.freakingnews.com/Double-Vision-Pictures--1762-3.asp Here is a sample View attachment 27412 Moi Well we are on the "humor, satire" forum BTW Senator Elizabeth Warren just appeared on Colbert 5/19/14. She said if you break the law, you get handcuffed - even on Wall Street, or should. Why haven't we seen Hillary on Stewart or Colbert ? <Ill Health> Warren had Colbert in stitches and blushing. No
Reagan and McCain had their ability to govern brought up because of health and age. Hillary is no different.
They were both announced candidates, we still have the midterms to get through. Anything Rove does is suspect, from the Watergate era to now.....& he's front & center filling impressionable minds with that will be answered further on down the road, if she does run.
The way I see it, when someone commits to run, then their medical condition is relivant, until then just private hipaa protected info of a private citizen. When annouced there is plenty of time to question her health, of course by then the fall will be on everyones mind, now that Mr. Rove planted that seed. I have no diagnosis, just sceptisim of Rove's motives.
Rove is an advocate for his party just like Axelrod is for the dems. Good for Rove for doing his job. And 'impressionable minds' can draw their own conclusions.
LOL! Who makes these 'rules'? You? Rove's motives should be obvious and no one should be surprised at them. Those who are upset with Rove probably know that Rove has a point and may be in fact right about Hillary. The problems is that the dems don't have anyone in the bullpen and are screwed if Hillary doesn't run.
Precisely. In addition the Left is not even considering spending any of the next two years hawking the political expertise of any of their Dem Party leadership for the Oval Office because when people like Biden or Kerry are the best alternatives you've got to Hillary then you are in serious trouble as a Party and because they fear ticking off Bill and Hillary if it gets out that they are considering alternative candidates. What would be really fun is if Hillary dangled the Dem Party on a hook until it was totally too loate for them to talk up a different candidate and then she simply declined to run again after all. Dropping their political fat right into the fire, so to speak . . . sort of how the MSM and the DNC did her when Barack Obama came along. They say that payback's a metaphorical female dog and nobody can be a bigger (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) than Hillary when she really wants to be one.
If I were the GOP, I'd beat the snot out of Shrillary 24/7/365 until the election. There is a lot of material to work with and she's weaker than water on the issues.
Yep. I'd routinely mop up the floor with her but then again I'd also periodically take pot shots at both Biden and Kerry as well, just in case.
The issues of age and health can be legit questions. Now what are the legit questions being asked? If she runs her medical records will be released and scanned with a fine tooth comb. Making her age an issue in the era of retiring boomers could seriously backfire.
Not entirely accurate. Hillary is female. Female brain anatomy and physiology are different from male. Ref. Anterior Corpus Callosum for example. BTW the FDA just mandated both male and female animals have to be used in the experiments to verify a new medicine is safe and effective in females also. Referencing Ambian and that females should take half the male dose. Previously, the experiments were done on male animals only to avoid those pesky hormone fluxes and their effects or affects <sigh> Liberals, the largest faith based group in America ! Pro Science except when it isn't compatible with their Faith Witness this thread & personal references. The problem here is the "selfishness factor". Hubert Humphrey ended a great record becoming LBJ's ass wipe. HHH's conceit carried the nation through some 5 more years of the Vietnam conflict. The Hump wanted to be president so very, very badly. Similarly, Hillary is going to consume a lot of money and energy for a fruitless effort and help the GOP get elected. It is best for America to deal with Hillary's brain damage now, not later. Being a "public figure" it is appropriate. Similar to Hubert, Hillary's selfishness factor to be President is her supreme M.O. ! Read me now and believe me in November 2016, A Hillary run is bad for the Democratic Party & America Reagan & McCain - They were just old. Reagan did not have a serious fall off his horse and McCain didn't any acute medical problems beyond his skin cancers. Moi Recovered Liberal if any Liberal can truly be termed recovered. No
Anything asked about her health is legit. And I had not seen her age brought up, just her health. Why would you assume retiring boomers would have a problem with these types of questions? - - - Updated - - - And it will only get worse for the dem candidates.
The thing is that unless Barack Obama somehow does a 180 degrees turnaround with both his presidential habits and politics then he's going to end his second term at around the 35 to 40 percent popularity rating, which is not good enough to convince unhappy voters to take yet another back to back chance on the Democratic Party in the White House. All that means is that unless the outgoing president is very popular then at the eight year mark the nation almost always gives the other party another try with the Oval Office. So if the GOP manages to field anyone reasonably competent, reasonably experienced, and reasonably capable of dealing with a MSM that will be rooting for the Dem candidate to win, then it's probably going to be a Republican holding the Executive Branch in his or her hands at the end of 2016 . . . even if Queen Hillary runs.
No doubt Obama is leaving some tattered coattails for Hillary to ride. And if she tries to run on anything she might deem an accomplishment, it will get dismantled quickly. She had Hillarycare shot down 20 years ago, carpetbagged her way into a senatorial seat in NY, and looked like a fool in the Benghazi hearings. So what can she point to?
She will try to avoid all past issues while laying out yet another hard core and utterly impractical liberal quasi-Marxist wish list of pie-in-the-sky, it-takes-a-village crapola for campaign bullet points and then rely on the Big Dawg 'Bill' Clinton' to campaign for her, smoothing out her rough spots as a politician. But the thing about the Big Dawg is that following the primaries in 2008 -- probably in order to have his wife's campaign debts forgiven -- and then again in 2012 -- while probably cutting a deal with the DNC to make Hillary the 2016 heir apparent -- he twice knowingly and blatantly LIED to the nation about what a great guy and uber competent Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was; and so why should anyone believe him the third time around when he sweet talks them about what a great president Hillary would be? He burned the nation twice with Barack. I doubt that they will risk him burning them a third time in a row.
