The Hollow Right Wing Echo Chamber

The opposition is hitting empty. They started with nothing and are ending with nothing.

This is an exchange between Blue Dog Congressman Baron Hill from Indiana and one of his constituents:
"I'm not a Democrat or a Republican," the man said. "I consider myself a political atheist. But from what I've heard about the plan on TV, there's a lot about it that I disagree with."

"What part do you not like?" Hill asked.

"Well, just some of the stuff they have been talking about on TV," the man responded.

"OK, and what was that?" Hill asked.

But the person couldn't come up with an example of what he disagreed with.
The Right Wing echo chamber is truly hollow these days.

Hill, sick of the conservative attacks on reform, followed with:
"You'll have choices, regardless of what the detractors tell you," Hill said. "They are lying. That's a strong word, but it's true."
The Right knows how to repeat their talking points, but the time has come to fix America whether they say "no" or not.

Talk about strawmen.

The reason Obama's proposals are in trouble is because of two things: Democrats in Congress, and the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

Stop blaming the Republicans!
