If Bush has had seizures, how many would know about it ?
And voluntarily keeping it from the American public? Would Ari Fleischer know? Would Karl Rove know? Would Laura Bush know? Would Don Evans know? I suspect all of them would know and more if that were true. And I tend to believe it is true.

But, if that is true, don't they all have a moral obligation to let the people know? How have they been able to keep such an important health issue secret and hidden from the public? Would it be "insensitive" to bring this question up as an issue? With world conditions being as they are, I would think not.

4. Of course, the media kept Roosevelt's polio from the public for years...
So, I guess they could do the same thing today with Bush.

9. I hope that's not true.
I want him and his ilk out of office, but I don't want him to be hurt, and definitely not afflicted with something as horrible as seizures. Same for Reagan and Alzheimer's. I don't wish a living death on anyone.

15. Yes, the "mouth guard" did it for me, too. Plus riding with his doctor ..
a little too convenient since we haven't heard anything about him being a mountain biker before.

I suppose his doctor could be an avid mountainbiker and introduced the Chimp to the joys of it, when he hurt his knee practicing on that scooter thing he was going to give poppy, but it really is an odd story. And,the facial injuries? Maybe he ran into a tree or some shrub.. If we didn't know how secretive he is and the "pretzel story" hadn't sounded so hoky, maybe it would be believable. I just don't remember Ford or Reagan spending time with their "personal doctor."

16. Please stop this!
Edited on Sat May-22-04 10:12 PM by loyalsister
This diminishes and devalues people who actually do have seizure disorders. They would love to have rumors that make him look helpless going, and it would be very disparaging for the disability community because he is also considered stupid. Guilt by association- ya know.
An actual seizure disorder is basically when a person has had several seizures related to brain activity consistant with epileptiform patterns.
A single abberant seizure can be brought on by alcohol withdrawal or drug ingestion, but probably not several seizures. If anyone has documentation showing otherwise please show.
