Does Watching Republicans On Television Make You Ill Too? [View all]

I turned on the tv this morning while coffee was brewing. I saw Lindsay Graham endorsing Jeb! calling him a "good conservative" or something like that. I changed the channel and watched Trump on Joe babbling some crap about online polls and how many people said he "won" the flying monkey food fight last night. I had to turn it off.

Every time I hear the word conservative, or watch any Republican on the television I want to vomit. Sorry for being so graphic.

Maybe once upon a time being a "conservative" meant you didn't want to ignore real problems (like climate change), strip food stamps from hungry children, and deny millions of Americans access to medical care. Maybe.

Today, it means you support all of the above. All the time calling yourself a Christian. It makes me sick.

I am serious. I can not watch them for more than a few seconds without getting angry, and ill.

Am I the only one?
