Herman Cain: Bachmann's migraines are a non-issue
Yahoo News ^ | 7/21/11 | Steve Peoples

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain declined to raise questions about fellow contender Michele Bachmann's health Thursday night, dismissing the Minnesota congresswoman's migraine headaches as a "non-issue" in the GOP contest. "If she's showing up for her events, and she's doing what she needs to do as a United States congresswoman, people shouldn't worry about her migraines," Cain told The Associated Press after a fundraiser for the New Hampshire GOP.

The liberals have been jumping all over this story.

I doubt they would go after a Democrat on an issue like this. I’m sure if a Democrat had migranes, the liberals would say that the migranes are controllable, and that it’s a non-issue.

Anything can and will be used as a club to beat up Republicans/conservatives with.

Or I should say, anything except positions on the issues of the day will become a club to beat them up over. We can’t have any discussions about honest policy differences. Instead, we will make sure we delve into all the irrelevent tangents that we can. (sarcasm)

Good job Mr Cain. Stay on message. The Economy is the issue. The key to economic recovery is Energy Independence.

Don't let the Junk Media play their divert and distract game, keep the focus on 0’s abject failure as President.

Good for Herman for speaking up. Nobody would know better than Cain that it is possible to perform when you are not feeling 100%. She isn’t the first candidate with minor health issues and won’t be the last. Her real crime is she’s an attractive conservative woman who talks common sense.

A Bachmann/Cain ticket might not be bad at all....

I would but I think she is unelectable. Not among us but by just enough of the independents, expecially the center left.

And the ONLY thing that is important is to RESOUNDINGLY stomp zero and the rest of his insane clown posse. We need a conservative to do that and until Rick Perry jumps in[ and I know folks have problems with him too...] Bachmann is a real good choice.

Especially how she was able to turn this story aside....

imho

Good move, candidate Cain. I would add only that she would be wise to build some relaxation into her routine so she can minimize the inevitable stress of a campaign.
