Romney/Ryan remind me of how Florida got stuck with Rick Scott

He was elected on the teabagger train in 2010 as a kneejerk response to Obama's election. That and the Dems in Florida put up a very weak Alex Sink to go up against all of Scott's money.

Even before Scott was sworn in to office, christian fundies were outraged because Scott had invested in the porn industry and a thousand other little things that weren't pure. THEN it came out (why not before the election) that he had paid millions in fines for Medicare/Medicaid fraud on the behalf of several companies he owned who had defrauded the system. Drip drip drip needless to say before he even took office people hated him and were starting to whisper about wishing they could recall Scott. Here's a novel idea, dont vote for the schmuck just because you THINK that all democrats are evil and all republicans are some great holier than thou just because you have been programed by hate radio and the preacher to think that way.

He's pretty much the most hated man in the state and the funny thing is that the voters put him there as a way to stick it to the dems. Who's laughing now, no one.

So maybe now before Medicare/Medicaid/food stamps/public assistance/ Social Security..... are destroyed forever, they should take a look at the R/R's own published plans and THINK with their head instead of their abortion-fearing, Obama-hating tiny little hearts and realize that if they elect them to "take the country back", they are going to be stuck reaping what they sow....that is until the cat food runs out and they starve to death.

But there I go again asking republican voters to think instead of merely reacting to fear and loathing and programming from the religious/hate machine.

And of the idiot voters in Florida. In fairness to Florida, other states voted for dubya too though. We can thank the supreme court for appointing him. Couldn't agree more nightwatcher.
