Joe Scarborough bares all on why he voted for Ron Paul

The former Florida conservative congressman and current host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe came clean today on his thought processes on how he decided on voting for Ron Paul in a Politico Op-Ed.

In the piece, Joe Scarborough narrates how he came to his conclusion on the various Republican Presidential candidates.

Scarborough holds back no punches as he goes through the list on his absentee ballot:

Mitt Romney? Not on your life. A big government Republican who will say anything to get elected.

Rick Santorum? No way. A pro-life statist who helped George W. Bush double the national debt.

Newt Gingrich? Ideologically unmoored. A champion of liberty one day, a central planner the next.

Ron Paul? Yep. I quickly checked his name and moved on to a far more complex task: fixing my daughter a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Morning Joe Scarborough analyses on the candidates included some differences with the Texas Congressman–After all, who would vote for a candidate that criticized the killing of Osama bin Laden, blamed U.S. foreign policy for Sept. 11 and wants to abolish Social Security? Certainly not me.

However, in the end he said, “I cast my vote for the only candidate who spent his entire public career standing athwart history yelling ‘stop’ to an ever-expanding centralized state”, unlike the three other Republican candidates at the time.
