Medea by Evelyn De Morgan

I doubt I have enough training to delve into the area of psychological diagnosis to test out on some ITT Tech exam.

But I wish to bring to the fore some doubts I have as to the sanity of Michele Bachmann.

And I wish to do this while I lay aside my own prejudice in this area of discussion.

I know that this unbiased purpose is difficult to achieve.

But forgetting for the moment how much I hate this bitch (I know, I am not a woman and should not say the word bitch just like I should not say the 'n' word because I am not black but frankly dear, I don't give a damn!)

I have adequately, at least in my mind as a graduate of ITT Tech in the area of psychological warfare, having described my feelings regarding the psychological fitness for office of any repub on the scene— I think I have fairly exculpated the two nuns from Maine in my assessment!

Michele who does not really understand how to properly spell her name has created (in my mind at least) a reasonable doubt as to her sanity and her psychological health for chrissakes.

I will, hopefully discuss my own psychological and neurological issues throughout this essay.

And I will conclude that we must remark: ECCE HOMO as we witness this severely mentally impaired person survive and become a leading figure in the run for the Presidency of the United States.

Here was the quote that caught my eye today:

Bachmann said 30 million Americans suffer from migraines and that “nearly 1 in 4 American households” have a migraine sufferer. “While I appreciate the concern for myself and for my health,” she added, looking to climb back down to safer ground, “the greater concern should be the debate that is occurring today in Washington, D.C., over whether or not we will increase our debt spending and taxes.” Bachmann reiterated that she would not vote to raise the debt ceiling. And with that, she departed without taking questions.

That’s when things got interesting. Ross dashed after Bachmann, repeatedly asking whether she had ever missed a House vote due to a migraine. She ignored him. Ross pursued her into a parking area behind the stage. Her aides grew alarmed. When Ross made a beeline for the white SUV waiting to carry Bachmann away, two Bachmann men pounced on him, grabbing and pushing him multiple times with what looked to me like unusual force. In fact, I have never seen a reporter treated so roughly at a campaign event, especially not a presidential one. Ross was finally able to break away and lob his question at Bachmann one more time, but she continued to ignore him.

Okay, so we know there is something not right with the Bachmann team.

And that is because (IMO) her neurons do not fire correctly.

I know the feeling.

I went to internists and neurologists for two decades to discuss my own problems in this area.

I am an epileptic and I have migraines, but usually without pain. I mean I have all of the symptoms. I will go blind from time to time with auras that do not always lead me to seizures. By blind I mean there are zig-zagged lines in my vision and a corruption of my sight so that I have to lay down. I cannot read any longer.

On line I discovered exactly what was going on!

Now Michele's testimony as well as the testimony of others around her clicked for some reason. I kind of get what her problems are.

So let me just discuss for a short time her other symptoms.

She married this effeminate guy after coming from a family that included a lesbian half sister. I mean that is a fact. I do not need to have Jon Stewart point this out to me and Mr. Bachmann's effeminacy is all over the web.

But anyone can tell that he is not on the male/male side of things. I mean you have the urge to ask his help with regard to a choice of ties in the context of your new suit. Okay?

Well Mr. Bachmann, who is soooooooooooo very anti-gay sounds and moves like an interior decorator in the 50's. It would be like Liberace slamming gays and the gay life style.

So castrate me if you wish, this is all sooooooooooo very clear to me.

But let us move on!

Besides experiencing the headaches, Michele hears the voice of God!

I mean she makes this clear all of the time. This is not nuance. This is right from the horse's mouth—assuming that you see her as a horse like I do!

"When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard.

My original problem with this issue is the fact that right wing fascist repub pricks always talk with god, or so they say.

One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."

Chris Matthews for years has admonished us all that we may never see into the heart of another human being with regard to his thoughts and his spirituality.

Well, bullshite! George W with his many DUI's and his tricks with regard to the Texas stadium and his straight out lies about Iraq & 9/11/01....well I am done with this diversion!

I think Michele actually hears the voice of God! I believe her. And I think I know why!

This all has to do with the neurological/psychological mis-wiring of her brain.

I kept reading, over the last few years, of Ms. Bachmann's problems with staff.

Her staff as a State Rep and her staff as a Congressional Rep and her staff as a candidate for the highest office in the land run away from her like cubs from a male polar bear

In confirming several migraine incidents first reported Tuesday by the Daily Caller, a conservative online publication, POLITICO found new details of their effect on Bachmann’s performance and their pervasive influence on her congressional office.

In March 2006, migraines Bachmann suffered in the aftermath of an appendectomy prolonged her recovery from surgery, causing her to suspend her campaign and miss a week of work in the Minnesota state Senate, where she served at the time.

A migraine attack in May 2010 forced Bachmann to retreat to her congressional office and lie down in the dark. She managed to attend early afternoon congressional votes before flying to California and attended two political events, but she was in pain much of the time and sought emergency treatment. When Congress reconvened the following Tuesday, Bachmann missed a day of votes.

The Daily Caller also reported an October 2010 incident that forced Bachmann to lie down at the home of a Connecticut donor who was hosting a fundraiser, and then to seek urgent care treatment in New York. Sources with firsthand knowledge confirmed the report to POLITICO.

One former top Bachmann staffer, who denied being a source of the Daily Caller report, told POLITICO the congresswoman’s migraines were so prevalent that the entire office and campaign staff knew about the problem — even the interns.

“Within the Bachmann team, this was not a secret about her headaches and the problems and doors going closed. It could be anyone from an intern to a chief of staff that could be aware of this,” the staffer said....

Bachmann’s campaign denied her brother Paul Amble, a psychiatrist in Connecticut, permission to speak to POLITICO about her condition. But the congresswoman’s son Dr. Lucas Bachmann, a medical resident at the University of Connecticut who has knowledge of her treatment, told the New York Times on Tuesday that her prescribed medications include two to treat the symptoms of cranial pressure and vomiting, and preventive drugs he described as “standard migraine treatment medications.”

Because of these factors, “A two-paragraph statement where she says she’s OK is not going to fly. It’s not enough,” said GOP consultant Ron Bonjean. “This is an issue that is neurological in nature, that affects consciousness and the ability to think clearly.”

Forget bloodletting and the phases of the moon for a second (a favorite topic for misogynists) Michele was and is difficult to deal with during the phases of her migraines.

The press, outside of FOX and the NAZI blogs, always questioned her sanity.

I mean look at her eyes, her appearance on MSM sometime a couple of years ago and now. Somebody has taught her to not hold her eyes open like she is on coke or something.

I mean talk about wide-eyed.

Michelle looked absolutely out of her mind in so many of her pictures including the video that Chris Matthews likes to play all the time. In that video she calls for the investigation of all Democrats in Congress to determine their patriotsim!

She looks at times like she is some psycho running on the streets of DT NYC!

Now read this rather long discussion concerning Representative Bachmann's problems with staff—even I decided to edit this to a minimum so check out the site.

In confirming several migraine incidents first reported Tuesday by the Daily Caller, a conservative online publication, POLITICO found new details of their effect on Bachmann’s performance and their pervasive influence on her congressional office.

In March 2006....

A migraine attack in May 2010 forced Bachmann... Bachmann missed a day of votes.

...

One former top Bachmann staffer, who denied being a source of the Daily Caller report, told POLITICO the congresswoman’s migraines were so prevalent that the entire office and campaign staff knew about the problem — even the interns.

“Within the Bachmann team, this was not a secret about her headaches...

Bachmann’s campaign denied her brother Paul Amble, a psychiatrist in Connecticut, permission to speak to POLITICO about her condition.....

Well this physical/neurological/psychological problem would tend to hurt ones relationship with his/her employees:

As Mark Halperin notes, this story was buttressed by former Bachmann aides - her team described them as "disgruntled" - whose numbers are large, based on the volume of staffers she's churned through during her five years in the House:

"One has to wonder, though, if Team Bachmann has a plan for dealing with all the former staffers who clearly have stories they plan to tell, in direct proportion to her chances of winning the nomination. What can Bachmann do about it? Outreach? Outreach with honey? Outreach with vinegar?"

Since part of Bachmann's appeal has been that she will take reporters' questions - an MO that has been compared to Sarah Palin repeatedly - events done without facing the press don't seem like a long-term option.

Now Halperin is cuing into the so-called Lame/Stream Media accusations from the right.

But Bachmann's staff keeps resigning from her EMPLOY.

They cannot stand it; people cannot deal with this poor sick woman!

Watch her as she fails to respond to Chris Matthews' questions as she is reelected to the House in 2010:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdan9FyoyQE&feature=player_embedded

See she cannot help it!

Chris points out that Michele Bachmann looks like a Zombie while she attempts to respond on National Television during her great win in her Minnesota District last year. I had thought Ms. Bachmann was purposefully ignoring Matthews' actual questions and just spewing out talking points. But now I am not so sure.

She is sure that she is not lost and she is sure she is not aching and she thinks she is on her way home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT-SFgkVlno

But she is lost, and she is aching and she cannot find her way home.

And I swear to Almighty God, that it brings tears to my eyes!

You see, when you are in IT, you cannot see your way out of it!

If Michele had just been a total psychotic, she would experience no bother, no bother at all.

But instead she falls into this Eden for awhile and then ends up on a couch with the lights all turned off, hoping that the pain will go away!

Yet she must keep up her 'front'. She must deny, deny, deny....

And then blame all of her problems on the Lame Stream Media.

Folks, my point is that this lady is more seriously ill than Palin ever was.

But even as an ITT TECH grad, I would not say that Michele Bachmann is psychotic.

I came across a great blog by a woman who explains the difference between psychosis and neurosis from a personal standpoint.

So from everything that I end up reading about bipolar as a mental illness; I understand that the victim becomes manic and finding herself at an extreme "high" and thinking she is "superhuman", superior to others  and actually on a mission by "God".

My questions comes in as...What if you do not believe in a god, then do your manic highs, still have you thinking you got a mission from god, or would they develop as something else?

I warned you, totally off the wall. Just looking for other peoples insights into the topic.

If you have not given up on me so far, take some time and read this link. It is always more interesting to read the experience of a real live human being than some second hand source like a PHD in psychology or psychiatry.

There is other evidence of behavioral outbursts by this woman; I mean this woman who wishes to be President of the United States.

She hides in bushes to spy on some gay community get-together!

She screams from a bathroom that a lesbian is attacking her.

She has her protectors kick the shite out of one of the world's most respected newsmen. http://thestir.cafemom.com/in_the_news/123376/michele_bachmann_attacks_reporter_brian

See http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/07AND And http://www.dumpbachmann.com/2005/04/and http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2010/03

Just google it! You will find right wing and left wing and psychotic wings all discussing this issue.

It is just that this poor woman has heard THE VOICE OF GOD and she believes it!

I can get into the contradictions inherent in the lives of the Bachmanns-- which I have alluded to on many occasions.

I mean she and her hubby have existed almost exclusively on Federal/State/County funding for decades; be it monies for their foster care program, or her salary from the IRS or Mr. Bachmann's Medicare claims......

That is all fine and dandy; par for the course in the case of any republican politician.

Michele Bachmann is not necessarily a hypocrite like McConnell or Boehner or Cantor or....Michele Bachmann is a very sick woman! She is not psychotic, she is bi-polar with auditory hallucinations!  And...

She might very well be the next President of the United States of America!
