Broun: GOP Is ‘The Party Of N-O Against Socialism’

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) in his office

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) is tripling down on his President Obama-is-a-socialist live-tweeting during the State Of The Union, this time drawing in Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as well: “But we are the party of N-O against socialism and that’s what Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama have been proposing is a greater take over of everything and human endeavor in America.”

Broun had live-tweeted during the SOTU address with such comments as “Mr. President, you don’t believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism.” Yesterday he defended his tweet on CBS news, and then appeared on the right-wingJay Sekulow’s radio show for the American Center for Law & Justice to elaborate:

The Republican Party is the party of K-N-O-W. We know how to lower the cost of health care. We know how to take care of the uninsurable. We know how to put patients in charge of their health care and have a market-based, patient centered health care system that’s not going to kill jobs like ObamaCare is going to do. And we know how to stimulate the economy. We know how to create jobs in the private sector. We know how to prevent this huge government take over of health care as well as all of society.

But we are the party of N-O against socialism and that’s what Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama have been proposing is a greater take over of everything and human endeavor in America.
