Joe was one of those unbiased reporters that donated to the fringe left.

Buckman: Fringe left? You do know Scarborough was a Republican Rep for 7 years, right?
from Politico:
"Scarborough gave at least five $500 contributions while serving as an MSNBC host — all to Republican candidates to whom he was close who were running for state legislative seats in or near Scarborough’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla. After being contacted by POLITICO about the donations, Scarborough voluntarily disclosed three other $500 contributions to a friend running for county office in Florida.

Woops...my bad. I just assumed and we all know what that makes me. Puts me in the same class of people who make assumptions about Fox. |

Thats fine BM. When someone (one of the main hosts) from Fox, leans left, I'll man up and admit to my 'assumptions'. 
Besides, some of the members here think Scarborough is a RINO anyways |

I actually kinda like Joe. Though I think (and hope) the R party can do better than Joe or Sarah.

I think Joe is exactly where he belongs, providing opinion without much of an internal filter. They get some good guests from both sides of the aisle in the morning. I'd rather watch it than 30min of Frank Colletta while eating breakfast.... |

Agreed, it's a very good show aside from Mica's posing.
Joe's certainly a conservative, perhaps more of the Goldwater model. Those who frequent Fox just might not recognize it as he's not an ideologue.
His book is pretty good as well. Very straightforward it gets to the heart of issues without a lot of crap. I think I gave my copy to some guy on an airplane...
