These days i get so fucking tired of MSM using the word CONGRESS!

Instead of the word CONGRESS, the MSM SHOULD be replacing the word CONGRESS with the word Republicans. And i mean EVERY FUCKING TIME!! The problems we have today are NOT because of Congress but because of these assholes on the other side!!

"Congress won't act" without the context that it's the fucking GOP in Congress.

I implored him not to repeatedly on my teevee but he never heard me.

It annoyed the heck out of me when Obama used to do that.

He also said "we" when "them" was more accurate when talking about Washington and Congress.

I love, love, love, Obama, but I'm a stickler for clear language, and that wasn't clear enough.

They asked my favorability rating for all three branches. Every question about the legislative branch was “Congress”. I asked if there were any questions for separate opinions of House and Senate. Nope, just Congress. My answers would have been very different if they’d separated the two.
