The Speaker does not have any Commander in Chief duties. The Speaker does not take the proverbial 3AM call. The Speaker just holds meetings which can be flexibly arranged.

I was a supporter of Bachmann and even sent her money earlier. What gave me pause is the fact that she had 23 mentally troubled Foster kids in her house over the years. What are the odds that the media won’t bribe or otherwise influence one or more of them to tell false tales of who knows what. She could be innocent of child abuse, sexual misconduct etc and still be convicted in the media. Its too big a risk.

Ok, probably need to remove your rights to vote, since you are so impaired in judgement. LOL

Trademarked her name because it provides enormous legal counterweight to devious Libtards who would otherwise hijack websites and social media. Every Conservative candidate should do likewise now.

Did you think it was for some other reason?

The story ends here.

We now know more about Bachmann's health than that of recent sitting presidents!

Good grief. Bachmann is reduced to releasing a “permission slip” from her doctor while Obama hasn’t released any medical records. Bachmann may be a conservative but is an inept politician.

Are there any conservatives out there competent enough to run for President and able to win?

I’m saddened by this, because this was one heck of a candidate. She needs to step aside. She will NOT get my vote.

Use of codeword "sad" - check.

Use of neurolinguistic suggestive "was" - check.

Use of flyover proper churchfolkism "heck" - check.

Use of neurolinguistic passive command "needs" - check.

Ending with overt all caps reader command "NOT" - check.

Extra top secret invisible shill training against stupid conservatives - check.

You don’t have many people close to you who suffer from migraines, do you?

You’re coming across as either a bit light in the loafers or a bit disingenuous. First, if she was really your top candidate, this shouldn’t disqualify you? Second, almost every severe migraine sufferer I know, knows exactly what triggers them.

What are the “trigger factors”? How does she know all the triggers? Being President might introduce her to new triggers. This raises more questions than it answers.
It's called a migraine diary. All migraneurs seeing a neurologist make one, at least at first. It i includes diet, sleep. The makers of Maxalt, which I happen to use, have one online which you can see. http://www.maxalt.com/maxalt/consumer/documents/diary.pdf

Triggers are rather well known. Aside from food allergies and other allergies, which are individual, all migraineurs have some of the following triggers. http://uhs.berkeley.edu/home/healthtopics/pdf/triggers.pdf
Not all triggers are universal (although a serotonin inhibitor would cause one for anyone.)

Being president increase stress, but it does not involve new triggers.

The others I wrote of likewise has brain problems (beyond mere liberalism). It’s a shame the way they clung to their seats and imposed some liberal will on the nation when they (A) were not in their full faculties and (B) would never have to suffer from the errors of the programs they pushed for.

How do you knot know your triggers? Do you keep a migraine diary? Have you considered writting down everything you eat and drink (good for dieting too)?

George HW Bush has Grave's Disease and was on some strong medications at the time, including Haldol.
And don't get me started on the amphetamine addict with Addison's disease.

Ross Perot diagnosed his problem, I seem to remember something about risky behavior

No..if she were my candidate I’d be saying the same thing. But you know, on FR speaking the truth lately gets a person attacked. Some freepers are as bad as libs.

Who do I support?

It isn’t Michele Bachmann...with or without Migraine headaches.

Yeah, and you know, those are all fairly recent examples. That’s not even bringing up mentally and physically ill FDR, or physically and morally sick JFK.... And so extremely sick that one needed daily horse tranquilizers, the other turned over nearly half of Europe to the Communists, his best friends.
