Oconee County, GA Politics

Call Dr. Broun and respectfully let him know what you think of his country club comments From: "Daniel Mintz, MoveOn.org Political Action" Sent: Monday, August 1, 2011 3:33 PM Subject: Tell Rep. Broun: no more hostages URGENT UPDATE Congress is set to take the final votes on a debt deal—to prevent Republicans from crashing our whole economy. Can you call Rep. Broun right now and tell him that the Republicans' unpatriotic threats against America's economic well-being are totally unacceptable? Representative Paul Broun Phone: 202-225-4101 Report Your Call! Dear MoveOn member, Congress is about to vote on a debt deal that will make deep cuts in government spending while doing nothing to make the rich and corporations pay their fair share. This was the ransom demanded by Republicans in exchange for not tanking our whole economy. And if the deal passes, they'll hold America hostage all over again the next time there...

Blake Aued of the Banner-Herald made a blog post out of Mark Farmer's comments on the Banner-Herald's story this morning about hearing the first questioner at the Paul Broun town hall ask about who is going to shoot President Obama? Mark Farmer is the witness who has decided to put himself out there for interviews and what not. Now who will be the person to name the man in the red shirt who drove 75 miles to Oglethorpe County last night? Should not take an enterprising Secret Service Agent very long to draw a circle around Lexington and begin to figure our who this is. Then again there is the video the Broun staff was taking. I will give Dr. Broun's staff props for stepping up to the plate on this one so quickly

At the end of his speech last night at the Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners office in Lexington, 10th district Congressman Dr. Paul Broun asked for questions from the audience, and a red shirted man who had reportedly driven 75 miles to come to meeting asked "Who's gonna shoot Obama?" The chair of the Science, Space and Technology Committee's subcommittee on investigation and oversight chuckled merrily in response along with a large section of the audience. Many people in the audience did not hear the question but did hear the laughter. Members of Congressman Broun's staff were seen videotaping the event. So far this has no tape or recording of the question has surfaced.

I wish I could take off work Tuesday to go and give Congressman Broun my opinion about health care and his performance at the Watkinsville Civic Center. But most people in Athens can travel down Hog Mountain Road to go let our U.S. House of Representative member know our/their feelings about health care reform. I hope we can avoid the stunts and stick to the facts, but I know we won't by in large. Editorial: Watkinsville isn't Athens, Congressman | Opinion | OnlineAthens.com Shared via AddThis

I do not agree with the insurance industry led protests of these misguided buffoons, but I support their right to peaceably assemble, even next to my beloved soccer field. Wonder how many Nazi and Communist symbols will be on display? Sounds like the nuts will be out in force for this one, not just the birthers and deathers. No Death Panel discussions? Support your President, people. Congressman Paul Broun will be in the house. The following was swiped from the Athens GOP blog. Somebody tell Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann quickly. Oconee Healthcare Reform Protest Exercise you First Amendment rights by joining The Citizens for Ethical Government in a peaceful demonstration against the various healthcare “reform” proposals being put forth by congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration. The event, slated for Saturday, August 29, will take place at 10:30 a.m. at Oconee Veterans Park, located on Highway 53 in Watkinsville. Invited speakers include State Representative Bob Smit...

We could probably bust almost every high school kid in home school, public school or private school for some kind of infraction against society, be it smoking pot, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, performing oral sex, masturbation, shoplifting, jaywalking, cursing on Sundays, spitting, speeding or cheating on tests. That much being written, I am certainly not condoning illegal activity or behavior but am fully cognizant that such behavior exists and I abhor attempting to legislate morality. I do not take joy in the latest problems of the Broun family , nor do I pass judgment on them. I can only hope for their healing. But let no one mistake what is going on in our schools as a reason to reveal every secret and every sex position our kids are going to be performing any way regardless of what we do. So the Oconee School Board once again wants to test all the athletes and kids who drives to school for drugs? OK, once again they will find a few kids who take a few puffs who probably...

Some of you loyal and faithful readers might think I have lost my mind, much like Dr. Broun, but what you have to understand is that if the Oconee County Democratic Party ever stands a chance to really hold an equal footing with the Republicans around here, we need the continued antics, horrible statements and general idiocy of a buffoon like Dr. Broun to drive the masses in our direction. So I hope he continues to suffer from foot in mouth disease and compares President Barack Obama to Hitler, calls him a Marxist, and continues to make a mockery of himself and the local GOP. Although it has been seen by many different people on a variety of different websites, I felt obliged to include Dr. Paul Broun getting named the Worst Person in the World for the second time by Keith Olbermann last night. Keep it up, Dr. Broun, please continue with your ridiculous statements.
