If the Members of Congress offered little more than Liar Pelosi’s and Dirty Harry’s talking points, reception might be a bit more cordial.

Please tell me what the Republicans are offering. I’d honestly like to know. I know Congress does include both parties but since you mentioned Pelosi by name I’m guessing you don’t think much of the Democrats. So. What have the Republicans to offer me except opposition to everything Obama is trying to get done?
Yes, thank you for that. I think he meant it towards the people who were responsible for the current state of the healthcare system (and are now saying they know best how to fix it, or that it is working fine for everyone) rather than those who simply disagree, though. There is a significant difference.
@ ANandy: “If the Members of Congress offered little more than Liar Pelosi’s and Dirty Harry’s talking points, reception might be a bit more cordial.”
Talking points? Hey, like those “death panels” things Sarah Palin was all about? That woman lied through her teeth, conjuring image of mandatory decisions by bureaucrats deciding who gets healthcare when the proposal was to cover consultations by doctors. You, on another thread, thanked her for it.
People tried to clarify, to explain. They even asked for emails with questions. You remember what pundits and spinmeisters called that? I do. The government wants a list of all who disagree! Tyranny!
The right has been offering many more talking points, ANandy. That, unfortunately, is why it has been so successful - people prefer easy, simple answers, especially if they are repeated often enough. You should know well enough - that namecalling you are so fond of - that is simply another talking point. You don’t bother us with facts - it is so much simpler to say Obama is a bozo and Pelosi a liar and be done with it.
ANandy, You dild not answer the question. I’m also interested in what the Republicans have to offer, so don’t blow us off like that. If you have specifics, our inquiring minds want to know. Perhaps they have no plan??? Could that be possible???
