Does listening to Republican negative rhetoric for too long a period shorten ones lifespan?

[nevergiveup]

I really admire those here who can sit and listen hour after hour to this crap but do worry about the effect it might have on your health. Personally, I can't take it. Just the site of Virginia Fox or Michelle Bachmann gives me heart palpitations. I also break into a rash whenever I see the Orange Man.

4. It's fun!

It's so easy to refute, it's like shooting fish in a barrel!

5. on C-SPAN they are saying the same thing over and over and over

I guess none of them can form an original thought.

6. It takes it's toll on the quality of life for sure

So who cares if it shortens it too.

7. It's like slow radiation poisoning. I make great use of the mute button and channel surfing. I

listen just long enough to get an idea of what they are saying, pretty easy to skip over them, it's always the same, some lame rhetoric combined with no, no, no and no ideas or real solutions/proposals that really help people.

Michelle Bachmann, what a bad trip she is... she always looks whacked out to me, like her eyes are out in space... and then she speaks... scary. I wouldn't even want to be next to someone like that on the subway.

8. I sure it does. My blood pressure is going thru the roof listening to this stuff
