This is a short diary but I am fucking pissed with the ongoing carnage and fucking furious with the ongoing shitty media coverage, the generic words of our Democratic leaders, and the generic words of anyone in front of a fucking camera.
Say the fucking word Republican. In his moving rant, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy did not once say the fucking word Republican and lay the blame for lack of action at their feet. Nope. He said we 50 times as if Democrats are as much to blame for the lack of action on the gun issue.
I watch two hours of Chris Hayes on MSNBC last night and he too danced around saying the word Republican. He implied Republican by saying, One party wants to do something about guns the other does not a dozen different ways as if EVERYONE knows. Same thing with nearly every one of his guests wringing their hands using a bunch of generic speak. Only one Democratic guest actually CALLED OUT THE FUCKING REPUBLICANS by name.
The American people need the repetition of THIS IS THE FAULT OF THE REPUBLICANS beaten into the fucking heads so there is zero question about the differences between our two parties.

Say it right. Say their fucking name, Republican.
Stop with the weak-ass generic speak, Americans have a gun problem.
No. It is Republicans who have a gun problem. Republicans accept this carnage. Republicans refuse to join Democrats to pass common sense legislation.
It is not we. It is not Americans. It is not Congress. It is not Government. It is not our leaders need to do something. No. Knock it the fuck off.
This is 100% the fault of Republicans at every level of Government and it is long past time to take off the fucking gloves and rub their fucking faces in their blood-soaked mess.

OP
That is aggravating. It's not gridlicked; it's being roadblocked by Republicans, period.

That shouldn't make any difference when you have 46 Democrats and 2 Independents IN SUPPORT

You are 100% correct but, in Chris Murphy's defense he wants to bring the "other" side to

Totally agree. Drives me crazy when they or a Democratic Legislator doesn't specify REPUBLICANS.

I share your anger at the media--all media, though some are worse than others.

They did so on "Good Morning America" this morning, as well. So did Stephen Colbert.

McConnell wised up and is now in favor or a bipartisan solution. We need to be *trumpeting*

Yes, please. For example, "Congress" isn't the problem; it's "Republicans in Congress."
