Boy, I sometimes wish I were Republican.

It would be such a relief to be able to relax and be content that the country is in good hands and will now progress exactly the way it should.

Instead we all have to live with a constant worry, fear and anger.
I used to be able to ignore the news when it became too distressing because it wasn't difficult to forgo reading the newspaper and TV news.
Now with the damned internet being our primary source for information, entertainment and communication I can't get away from the Terrible T no matter how hard I try.

Yech.

I prefer having a soul. And that is exactly what Republicans said about living during President Obama's time in office. They said they were constantly worried, angry and afraid. I don't see how that was the case but that's their take. I am not going to live constantly angry, worried or afraid. I will do what I can and try my best to live well.

Man it would be easy to get a job. Undersecretary of whatever! I'm rich!

Rather have a soul is right.
