I'm so pessimistic now that I am afraid it has become something like a reflex reaction, like hitting your funny-bone. Whenever I spot George W. Bush onscreen or hear a millisecond of his pomposity and arrogant tone, then BAM my finger moves as quick as a lightening bolt to the mute button.
Is this a reaction that is similar in ways to shell shock?

CHANGE THAT CHANNEL, MIDDY!
Unless you are afflicted with acute blindness you will have to suffer the fool visually - which is terrible for the brain and conscience. It may cause post-traumatic stress disorder (same as shell-shock), severe mental retardation, dissociative disorder, paranoia, depression, panic attacks, narcissism, borderline disorder, and/or intense stupidity.
Know that you are not alone. Sometimes it helps to practice primal screaming when he comes on the screen. I personally curl up into a fetal position and wail.

George Bush has been advised via the Republican occasion to maintain a low profile interior the desire that the yank public overlook approximately him. The extra he vegetation up on television the extra persons are reminded of the record funds deficits, the two lost wars, the Bush recession and so on - so he's a vote loser, and he has no credibility to talk on any undertaking. to boot if he did he'd get puzzled as to his habit and why he enable the financial equipment slide and so on.

yes it is normal for a lot of people to mute or turn the channel when someone comes on that they are tired of listening to, and that person really bugs you. Actually i would have to say that would be quit a healthy way of handling it. So just keep muting him all you want, cause i am sure there are others that do the same thing to him and others they don't want to listen to any longer on the tv.
Happy Hoildays

My knee-jerk reaction is to turn the channel before he makes me so made I throw something at the TV. So just muting it seems like you're being very tolerant in my opinion. I also can't watch recent elections presidential debates...ugh some people just make me sooo mad.

Yes, a normal reaction. Because then you can make him say funny things in a weird voice and get a good laugh as opposed to listening to him talk and getting increasingly upset.
It's a good thing.

Sounds like a normal response to a situation that is either grating on your nerves or agitating you unbearably. I would say your self-protect mechanism is in good working order. There are stresses that we feel like we can't face and it looks like you're in touch with your limits. Good on you!

You are just a typical liberal democrat...not that there is anything wrong with that. I do the same thing when I see Ted Kennedy or Jesse Jackson. I'm just a normal conservative republican.

Not as normal than just switching the channel. Either option seems to work.

Its better than throwing a brick at your TV, which is what I would like to do, and cheaper too

I just turn if off altogether. This way, I not only don't have to listen to him, I don't have to look at him either.
