I think so too, Paul

Yup.

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun attacked president-elect Barack Obama’s agenda as “Marxist” and derided fellow Republicans for abandoning conservative principles Friday during his first speech since he was re-elected in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is right on the money! If Obama tries to change America he is barking up the wrong tree.

Here’s another “I wonder”:
I wonder how many of these “Billionaires for Obama” (Warren Buffett, Craig Newmark, Bill Gates…) and “conservative” luminaries (yucko the clown for example) that endorsed Obama are really for Obama’s type change or were there just long enough to flip the neocons. And how long will they stick around. The Soros/Brzezinski type are there for the long haul of course. Erick, there’s a list for you. You could start with Christopher Buckley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwItrtgzq0g

Peach, you’re a disgrace to everything you promote. You destroyed any opportunity to have a meaningful discussion in this thread.

However, Obama IS a Marxist. Stating the desire to spread the wealth around and expressing disappointment that the Constitution does not provide for wealth redistribution speaks for itself. His past friendships only strengthen the argument.

GC, moderation is what got the GOP in the mess it’s in now. You have no clue about the principles that built the Republican Party, and Goldwater would not appreciate you besmirching his name.

I’m not sure if the British Parliament would have room for a Paul Broun type. His self critique of fellow Republicans is great. And there’s no room for that if everyone is “singing the same tune”. How can Republicans be for free markets and competition or representative govt. if they don’t allow dissent within their own ranks? And the dissent plays well with independents too. In his book “conservatives without Conscience” John Dean said dissent is a Republican tradition. Fiscal conservatism plays well also. Nobody identifies themselves as a fiscal liberal, although Bushco may carry this label to their graves. Of course most Dems are focused on the Marxist statement and in defensive mode. AHHAHAAA! Add to this the blogger factor. Bloggers have nobody else to focus on now except Obama. He’s not only on top, he’s the only guy left to talk about! This isn’t necessarily the Republican attack machine. And to people who say: “Get over it. Obama won.” There’s more to it than that. Since when do “leaders” or a “President elect” get a free ride or a honeymoon period?
