Chemical imbalances are the root of most mental disorders...I believe that Parkinson's is the inability of the brain to manufacture sufficient levels of dopamine (I might be wrong there, but I'm close if not). It requires continual medication, and brain function will be hampered. A physical disability I would have no problem with, but a mental disability is not exactly something I look for in a politician.
