Two off the top of my head:

1) ACORN - no explanation needed
2) Environmentalists - while we should be opening up more of our land to drilling for oil in order to lessen our dependence on foreign supplies, they are spending billions on alternative energy that will be much more expensive - not a good idea when the whole economy is suffering and something that markets would make happen as people are able to afford it (and much more efficiently)

In the end, you should ask yourself what the founders meant our government to be - it was to be limited in scope and only provide a framework wherein its citizens could be free (liberty) to work hard and find success, while ensuring justice to basic laws (contracts, private ownership, etc.). They were wise beyond their years in establishing a democracy that has endured, therefore it would make sense that moving towards Socialism and government control and/or involvement in almost every aspect of our economy was not in the cards.
