CURL: Why Hillary Clinton’s health matters
Washington Times ^ | 5/25/14 | Joe Curl

Posted on 05/29/2014 9:36:51 AM PDT by jimbo123

Is Hillary Clinton’s health an issue for 2016? You bet it is, and well it should be.

-snip-

On Dec. 7, 2012, she disappeared from view — without a word. Three days passed before the State Department said the secretary of state was “under the weather” as it announced she would cancel a planned trip to the Middle East.

-snip-

And this wasn’t her first episode. In 1998, she was treated for a blood clot in her leg. She fainted during a 2005 speech in Buffalo, N.Y., broke her elbow in an unexplained 2009 fall in the State Department garage, and collapsed while boarding a flight in Yemen in 2011.

I wouldn’t say that her health matters as much as the fact that she is a communist, utterly dishonest, void of any talent or ability in anything whatsoever, and directly involved in the deaths of Americans in Behghazi as well as the cover up of those deaths.

Some have said that since Reagan was 69 when he was elected, and Hillary would be 69 if she runs, that this issue is off the table.

Not that I agree with that reasoning, but, just saying the Democrats will want to neutralize this as an issue by talking about Reagan, or the fact that McCain was 72 in 2008 when he ran.

It’s not about her age. It’s about her alcohol consumption and poor health and family history of strokes and heart attacks.

The last paragraph of the article:

So, Hillary, when you run, just know: We want your health records, all of them. And then we’ll decide if you’re fit for office.

Yeah, right. Do you really think the Democrat-run media is going to make that demand from a Democrat -- especially a woman?

She's soooooooooo bloated. She's got to be on meds. If she's on Warfarin......I give her a year.

I lost 2 friends to that nasty thinner. Both started bleeding internally...were hospitalized...wound up in the hospital a second time and died.

She had a “very serious concussion” according to her husband and took 6 months of rehab to “recover”. I want all medical records vetted by independent physicians like the New York Times always does and I want a full and complete medical report to all American people. I want it soon so we can make up our minds. She has never accomplished any particular thing except born female. Can you image with this lack luster background plus brain damage?

The press was chiming in every day with all kinds of rumors and insinuations about Reagan's health when he ran in 1980.

Tsongas wasn’t the first presidential candidate — or president — to hide a serious ailment. President Woodrow Wilson concealed the fact that he had three minor strokes leading up to his run for the presidency. In 1919, after guiding the United States through World War I and attempting to set up the predecessor organization to the United Nations, Wilson suffered a massive stroke that left him paralyzed and blinded on the left side of his body for the remainder of his second term.

“He was operating with great difficulty. He couldn’t have a cabinet meeting for nine months,” notes Robert Gilbert, who wrote several books on presidential illness. When Wilson’s vice president refused to take over, Wilson limped along in his presidential duties with the help of his wife, Edith, who decided which issues deserved the president’s attention.

As a presidential candidate, Wilson’s deception about his earlier strokes resulted in the “disenfranchisement of the entire American people,” according to Streiffer. He coauthored a 2006 article in the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy along with several philosophers and a physician suggesting that presidential candidates have a moral duty to reveal certain medical conditions. The idea is that voters have the right to an informed consent of the governed, which includes knowing any relevant conditions that would seriously affect how a president may perform in office.

It happened more than once and IMO, she went to “dry out”. I believe she is definitely an alcoholic.

I’ve said several times Hillary Clinton’s age—69 just one month before Election Day 2016—could be an issue.

It’s hard to think that the under 40 crowd will vote for her in significant numbers.

The far left of the Democratic Party thinks Hillary isn’t far enough to the Left, so she will probably pick someone to her own left as her running mate if she is nominated. That means if she dies in office we would have that person as President.

Plus, wouldn't she be considered Obese? By the way, I wonder if she has diabetes? That would explain at least some of the past events.
