Lifelong Republican comes to his senses- loves Obama

Obama also greeted Scott Boyd, a 42-year-old neurosurgeon from Columbia, who said he's a lifelong Republican but voted for Obama in Saturday's primary. They talked briefly about the cost of malpractice insurance, and Boyd said afterward he was impressed with Obama's grasp of the issue. Boyd said he has never been this excited about an election. "He's an aggregator," he said. "I think he can bring people together. For me to be brought out of my Republican shell – I'm a convert now."

Well, apparently Doc Boyd is not only easily impressed but...umm....excited, as well. While this lifelong Republican gave a thousand bucks to Republican Jim DeMint in 2003, he also gave 500 bucks to Democrat Alex Sanders in 2002. I guess Alex is quite an aggregator, too. Apparently Obama isn't the only one who can bring the good doctor out of his Republican shell!

Oh yeah. Such a great grasp of the issue that (according to Robert Novak's latest column) that he wants to appoint John Edwards Attorney General.

Enjoy those malpractice rates in the years to come, idiot.

Wow! Excellent point. You should email that to the good doctor. Obviously, this physician isn’t a brain surgeon.

I wonder how Dr. Boyd will feel when he’s doing neurosurgical consults for $ 15 a pop and brain surgery for $ 150?

"who said he's a lifelong Republican "

Media loves that line. The Rats never stop trolling for the stupid vote.

This “Lifelong Republican” gag is getting pretty shopworn. When I see or hear the phrase now, I think “Democrat troll ahead.”

Not many people actually realize that the information of their political contributions is a public information and can easily be accessed. He simply made an ar$e out of himself.

Boyd is an asshat, and only in The People's Republic Of Maryland would this be talking point to celebrate. I weep for those in the state of my birth.

Do they really think this guy running around with a boner, having O-basms is going to convert anyone with more brains than this brain surgeon?

Golly, I can't wait for Obama to visit my town!

I doubt whether anyone can change political parties so rapidly. Someone like that was probably not a conservative to begin with.

The propaganda machine of the MSM is warming up for the summer run of " Join with us brothers and sisters, your 'savior' is at hand."

Obama is a carpetbagging, international black nationalist,with connections to Islamofascists and other thugs around the world. Look at Kenya.

Ass-hats like the good doctor abandon all empirically based logic.

I would NEVER let this ass-hat Doctor near me for even the simplest of surgical procedures.

He might have some sudden creative Gestalt that could kill a patient. He certainly is helping to kill the America we Freepers know and love.

What a flake-stooge he is for the MSM drivebys.

Obama has no record as an "aggregator." His record is one of narrow minded black nationalism with a neocolonial bent to show Kenyans " how we do it in America." Result, tribal warfar among the "savages." And if Obama gets a start here in America, tribal warfare will be all the rage for our good doctor.

Aggregator! ROTFLMAO!

Obamarator Aggregator?

True Obama:

The Obama File Don't Leave Home Without It.

This reminds me of when Princess Di came to Northwestern University in Chicago. All of these professors and university officials went mad with this kind of celebrity worship. I was stunned. I mean, I could see them throwing themselves at the feet of the likes of a Jonas Salk- but Princess Di? Obviously, Dr. Boyd isn’t stupid, but, apparently, he dramatically lacks common sense.
