Its no secret that Fox News leans to the right, but one host may have crossed the line on Friday when he actively encouraged viewers to vote Republican if they didnt like big government.
During an interview with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy seemed to endorse the congressmans Path to Prosperity budget.
This really is kind of a campaign document because it draws a bright line between what the Republicans stand for and what the Democrats stand for, he explained. If you want big government, then the Democrats are your party.
Doocy added: Whereas, if you want a party thats making some hard choices, vote Republican.

At this rate, they might not be an audience to pitch by November...

(4,847 posts)that the repugs don't like big government to help people or regulate their shyster friends; but they love big government when it comes to controlling the plebes. Let me know how little boot's invasive big government is working for ya.
Ryan and his ilk, to me, are nothing but big business, sociopathic greedy arseholes. Remember the signs by the freepers, "don't mess with my medicare?" Yeah, well ryan's about to mess with your medicare and anything and everything that helps the elderly and sick. He's one ayn randian sick fek in my book. But, don't worry any congresscritter who has a nice portfolio with the health insurance industry or WS should be okay.
