Joe Scarborough LIKES Ron Paul! For all of the bashing of people in the media, he is one of the people that likes what Ron Paul says. Note how he has favorably compared his message to Ronald Reagan's several times now and mentioned how the other Republicans aren't "conservative" enough for a lot of Republicans. He may not like his foreign policy, but he loves his domestic policy. Joe Scarborough was a US congressman and very small government. From Wikipedia:
"Scarborough was one of a group of about 40 GOP freshmen legislators who dubbed themselves the "New Federalists" after the Federalist Papers. Scarborough was elected Political Director of the incoming legislators. The New Federalists called for sweeping cuts in the U.S. government, including plans to "privatize, localize, consolidate, [or] eliminate"[6] the Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy and Housing and Urban Development, but were largely unsuccessful in their goals. Gingrich tapped Scarborough to head a Republican task force on education, and Scarborough declared "Our goal is to get as much money, power and authority out of Washington and get as much money, power and authority into the classroom as possible."[2]"
Joe can't come out an endorse Ron Paul, but he sure has been friendly to him.
