    No. She fell, she hit her head. Moronic Republicans started coming up with their stupid conspiracy theories. She wasn't allowed to travel back overseas but she was still going to testify. Now she has a blood clot and naturally, there are imbeciles who don't believe it. She will testify eventually. It's not a conspiracy. Get over it.

    She's already said she'll testify when healthy. So unless you believe that she'll fake her own death in addition to faking a concession and then faking a blood clot, the "avoid testifying" strategy seems to not be one that will end well.

    Stuff like this doesn't even make for a good storyline in a movie nowadays its so stupid. Whats sad is people are so gullible to just turn the other cheek and not raise a question.

    I'm not one for conspiracy theories but we know from the popes to the kings people do conspire by taking a trip down history lane.

    She passed out and hit her head? Dehydration??

    So can we at least say that Clinton can't win in 2016 because of health reasons, I mean that's why people bashed Ron Paul (he is so old). This girl can't even keep her self hydrated 'passing' out everywhere.

    People bashed Ron Paul because he's nuts, not that he's old. Her health will certainly be an issue in 2016, as it was for McCain. But Cheney had a heart attack while VP and other Presidents have had health problems. The question for her will be if there are any long-term complications from this - if not, then it's a one-off event. People in their 60's and 70's have health issues. It's just a reality of life.

    Yes, the uber-conspiracy to kill an American ambassador in order to perpetuate a new world order will certainly be the first thing to slip.

    Your right people bashed Ron Paul because they thought he was nuts, but Major all your posts seem to be too linear and one dimensional. To not accept that many people also bashed Ron Paul because 'he is so old' shows you just may be a senile person(which explains your linearity).

    There were even questions in the debates about it because so many people bashed and had their worries

    Fair enough - I may have overstated it. How about this: in the spectrum of things that concerned people about Ron Paul, health/age were way far down on the list. It's doubtful that anybody dropped their support of Ron Paul because of his age or health.

    seriously, the guy who wants to send the American financial, monetary, and regulatory system back to the 1850s has a lot more to worry about than his age when it comes to appealing to voters who aren't naturally prone to those dramatic solutions.

    "omg, run on banks! abolish fractional reserve system!"
    "or deposit insurance, a pragmatic and realistic solution."
    "...BUT abolishing fractional reserve system is the FUN."

    Medical privacy, doctor-patient confidentiality?

    :confused:

    It's not like the rules go out the window because she's a public figure some people want to cite in some shadow conspiracy to overthrow the American government, or somesuch.

    With all due respect, you're making yourself look foolish, at least to me. What goofy thing will you bring up next, Vince Foster? Give us all a break.

    Iran-Contra Deposition -- Reagan Testimony Bares Memory Loss, But Not Much Else
    By Ethan Bronner
    Boston Globe
    WASHINGTON - Head cocked earnestly to one side, eyebrows knit, mouth pursed, former President Reagan spent eight hours of testimony claiming to know less about his administration's Iran-contra scandal than do millions of average citizens.

    Billed as the key witness in the Iran-contra trial of his former national security adviser, retired Rear Adm. John Poindexter, Reagan said he did not authorize Poindexter to mislead Congress, contradicting Poindexter's argument that Reagan knew of and authorized his activities.

    But aside from that recollection, the former president professed an ignorance of the events and personalities in the affair.

    The words ``I don't remember'' or their equivalents occurred at least 124 times in his eight hours of testimony. The lapses in memory ranged from the identity of Rep. Lee Hamilton, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee during several of the key years of Reagan's presidency, to the central conclusions of the Tower Commission, which Reagan appointed to investigate the Iran-contra affair.

    Reagan, now 79, also didn't remember that Robert McFarlane, who served as his national security adviser, had pleaded guilty to a charge of withholding information from Congress.

    Reagan's memory lapses, however, never occurred on answers that bolstered his longstanding position that he, himself, had done nothing wrong. Repeatedly, he emphasized that while he might not be able to recall the names of the subordinates he gave instructions to - even at Cabinet rank - he recalled clearly the content of the instructions: ``Stay within the law.''

    If the former president often could not remember key events, he came well-armed with statistics to explain why things were hard to remember. He had accumulated some 50 million papers, he said several times, and he had met with 400 foreign leaders while in office.

    Though he admitted a total blank on some events, Reagan revealed a vivid memory for other incidents, such as a telephone call to the president of Honduras about helping the contras.

    statements from doctors on the condition of public officials are quite common

    Really?

    Notice how the Rockets team doctors are eerily silent about a certain Royce White, even if he's quite content with going on and on about his condition?

    It's because they're bound by ethics and law not to speak.

    And the reason why Rockets fans don't know to this day what the hell the doctors really are saying and what accommodation must be made is because Royce has not quite made that part clear, and his doctors can't make it clear for him because they're bound by confidentiality.
