Americans hate health reform because it is too liberal, right? Wrong.

The No/Nothing Republicans are quick to tell you that all the polls show that the American public opposes Obama health reform because they think it is too liberal. NOT TRUE. Not at all true. In fact, 55% either favor the proposed reforms are think they are TOO CONSERVATIVE! Only a little more than one third think the reform proposals in the Senate and House bills are too liberal.
