It’s just amazing to me how people who’ve had no experience with a chronic illness can become experts in a matter of nanoseconds.

I’m 67 years old. In 1978 I got sick with viral colitis. It’s genetic. My dad probably died from it in 1943. They thought it was appendicitis. In any case, many progeny on my dad’s side have it to one degree or another.

Since 1979 I’ve been taking half the normally prescribed daily dose of a sulfa—or sulfa synthetic—drug. I’ve not been ill from colitis since then. Does that make me a drug addict or somehow unfit for public office?

Millions of people have chronic illnesses, but they are manageable and do not materially affect their ability to function—and even excel—on a daily basis.

I have nothing but disgust for people who buy into these “no source” whispering campaigns. Bachmann has been functioning under significant stress for months. For God’s sake the demrats are even going after her foster children. There is no evidence she has had to disappear for days or even hours at a time dealing with migraines.

You would be better served being concerned about The Usurping Marxist Onada’s admitted drug use and what is in his medical records.

For the record, Bachmann is not my first choice for conservative presidential candidate. The Marxists and RINOs relentless and baseless attacks on Palin and her family achieved no significant hits. They’ve shot their bolt. Now they’re going after Bachmann.

Isn’t it the least bit interesting to some of you that Romney, and others in the conservative/GOP presidential candidate field, are not being treated to the same despicable attacks as Bachmann and Palin? Does it occur to you that these two women are who the Marxists fear most right now? And when it becomes clear that West and Cain are gaining significant traction, they will be the next targets. It’s called the politics of personal destruction.

I agree about the unnamed sources BS. In my post yesterday I immediately threw out the unnamed soures stuff and I specifically dealt with the comments from the only named sourced, the Bachmann spokesman, Stewart.

In my post yesterday, based on the Stewart comments, I specifically said that Bachmann needed to address this issue.

And as I said on this thread, the release of the doctor's letter, appropriately addresses the issue.

I think the important point to note is that beyond the unnamed source BS, there was still an issue that needed to be dealt with. And Bachmann did.
