Eagleton had manic-depressive psychosis with a history of electroshock therapies.

At the time, I thought that the possibility of a Commander-in-Chief with such an incapacitating condition was sheer lunacy.

Not quite the same as migraines, which can hit anyone.

Well, no, migraines do not "hit anyone".

Unless there has been deliberate fraud during the certification process, migraines do not routinely strike U.S. pilots where "incapacitation" is simply out of the question. Migraine headaches that are "incapacitating" are an absolute disqualification.

American Society of Aerospace Medicine Specialists ..... A documented history of migraine (or severe) headache or of any recurrent or incapacitating headache would be disqualifying for duty involving flying in military aviation. Any history of disabling migraine headache must be considered disqualifying for flying duties.

It all boils down to whether or not you want the pilot of your aircraft "incapacitated" when the aircraft needs to fight or land and if you want your Commander-in-Chief "incapacitated" for a few days at a time in the age when it only takes an ICBM 35 minutes to strike at any point in the World.

Plus, add to that the "heavy pill usage" that is, as yet, unexplained but that you want to sweep under the rug as quickly as possible. "Move along, folks. Nothing to see here. Move along."

Plus, add the fact that Michele Bachmann has absolutely ZERO executive experience, not even the Chairmanship of a Committee, in either the private or the public sector. America will not fall for that One Big Ass Mistake Again.

America wants a President of the United States:

1.) With plenty of executive experience
2.) Who will not be "incapacitated" for days at a time during a potential crisis
3.) Who will not be looking to Marcus Bachmann during a crisis to tell her what to do so that she can be "submissive" to him and therefore fulfill what she believes is her religious duty to God.

==================

Bachmann:(At 1:25) Did what Marcus Bacmann told her to do, regarding her post graduate education, even though she does not want to, because she says it is her religious duty to be "submissive" to Marcus Bachmann

In this speech at a mega-church in the Minneapolis area back in 2006, Michele Bachmann explained her decision to pursue tax law wasn't her choice. Her husband, Marcus told her "to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law." This was not what Michele wanted. ("Tax law? I hate taxes!"), but she was believed that God was speaking through her husband. "Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands.”

==================

As the GOP nominee, Michele Bachmann would be a Christine O'Donnell electoral disaster on steroids just waiting to happen in November of 2012.
