I talked briefly with Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) at an early-morning House GOP briefing by Republican members of Congress on the impact of the August recess, and asked him how he’ll vote on a censure resolution against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.).

“I’m voting against it and I hope every Republican votes against it,” said Broun. Did he worry that the Democrats were setting a precedent by targeting Wilson. “They set the precedent by yelling at Bush and calling him a liar. They’re still calling him a liar.”

In his short remarks, Broun said that his town hall experiences convinced him that “a scared angry republic is a force that has to be reckoned with,” and that the Obama administration was not buckling from public pressure.

“They’re addicted to power, they’re addicted to control over America.”
