Boring talking points

Fri., April 2, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

In response to Mr. William Hall’s letter of March 22, “Partisanship trumps people,” I would enjoy Mr. Hall explaining what poll he reads finding Americans are opposed to health care, as the latest Gallup Poll had 49 percent for and 40 percent against.

Additionally, Mr. Hall needs to explain his accusation that this bill is socialist, as the government is not providing any service. The bill vastly expands the wealth of corporations, which seems like capitalism instead of socialism.

Mr. Hall’s letter simply uses boring talking points repeated every few minutes on conservative radio, and his accusations are false.
