As long as Rick Scott is FOR THE AZ LAW and bringing it to FL, and AGAINST OBAMACARE.. he'll have my vote!
So you want Florida to suffer like Az. I hope that people like you understands what we get a lot of our tax revenue. From the tourist and not from a payroll tax.
That's just for starters Obamacare is a Insurance reform bill that it is not likely republicans despite what they say will do away with since who do you think funds there campaign? The Insurance Companies that benefit from being able to raise there bottom line.
But like all people like you they are to dumb to care or read the bill and believe the tea party BS.
Rick Scott's TV ads are very interesting. The first one all he talked about was "standing up against Obama". I emailed him to remind him that Barack Obama is not running for Governor of Florida. The second round of ads talked about nothing but Arizona. I reminded him that he is running for Governor of Florida not Arizona. The latest one talks about Arizona and the immigration law and ends with a tag line "Let our police check if the people they arrest are here legally" I called his office and asked what if any law keeps Florida Police from checking the immigration status of people they arrest. They admitted that there is nothing that prevents the police from doing that and admitted that the tagl ine of the ad was misleading.
TRUE REALIST,
You are picking the fly@!$%# out of the pepper ! He is not an imcumbent, he is against Obamacare (as are about 60% of all U.S. citizens), and he agrees with the Arizona immigration law (which is actually similar to but weaker than the Federal law)..........a Federal law that the POTUS lacks the balls to enforce ! Other than that, he has a business background and that's not a bad thing to know about when running a government !!
Sounds to me like he is better qualified than B.O. to lead.
His latest ad says that he is better than his opponent because he is not a career politician. I sent him an email asking that if he wins will he go up for re-election after his first term because at that point he would be a career politician. No answer yet.
Yeah, maybe he can give them insider tips on Medicare Fraud.
That would be useful if you want to prosecute or something.
"When you're CEO of a company you have to take responsibility for mistakes that were made on your watch," Scott conceded.
Except that he didn't "take responsibility" for the Medicare fraud perpetrated by his company. He was, in the words of his lawyers, "never indicted", a tribute to their skills. No matter how much you hate the evil black man in Washington, do you really want this crook to be your governor? He's playing you like the fools you are.
I can't stand that man. He is a liar and your stereotypical Billionaire pretending he care's about the citizens of FL. His huge ego just pours out of the screen. He even looks shifty.
He doesn't like Obamacare.. guess what! It was because of MEDICARE FRAUD that the heathcare got so out of whack
The Hugest fine for MEDICARE FRAUD ......$1.7 BILLION FINE. paid by RICK SCOTT
I dont care who win as long it is not mccollum. He has done nothing as florida attorney general.
I'm gonna tell that I am no fool. MCCollum has DONE NOTHING. He is the worse State Attorney that Florida has ever had. WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM PERIOD. So who is calling who a FOOL.
Attachment:
Medicare fraud his cause by people who dont report it. Medicare fraud is cause by Hospitals, and Doctors. Next time take a good look at your bill. I do. And once again who is the fool.
This was not done by doctors and patients. This was done by people like Scott who should be in jail.
Why do these people never see jail time??
McCollum is not going to get the governors position in florida. He is dropping and we have yet to see the repercussions of one of his biggest Boo Boo's. He caused central florida veterans their hospital TWICE when he was the Congressman from this district. The Current[ being built] VA hospital should have been built15 to 20 years ago but McCollum would not fight for it due to special interests that had him by the {YOU KNOW WHAT].Two locations and his inability Twice changing locationsstopped that hospital . He was usless then as he is now. BY BY Bill.
McCollum, like Crist, is just a professional politician who has to go.
McCollum, most intelligent Floridians know who you are already a failure in polotics and as a human being. You only care about what is good for you and your rich "DICKHEAD" FRIENDS AND POLOTICAL BUTT HOLE RING OF FRIENDS. You don't care about peoples needs and/or what is good for this state. Your a POTATO HEAD LIKE THAT IDIOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE. I hope Scott smokes your ass in the up and coming election.
Anytime a Bush endorses anyone, you can rest assured the support for that candidate will go down. As Jesse Jackson once said Stay out da Bushes
