Florida Rickity Scott desperate for help



"Scott blames the president, but in his six years as governor he has branded his bona fides by; a) rejecting federal authority, b) spurning federal assistance (ie. Obamacare), c) knee-capping state environmental agencies and science staff, d) cutting regulations specific to forms of pollution causing the algae blooms and e) lobbying against rule making by the U.S. EPA to regulate fertilizers."

Our governor - is primeval ooze . Given stewardship of one of the countries most beautiful states with once pristine shores, lets his politics - and the conservatives Republicans in the state - fuck it up.



A beautiful letter - too long to post here - included at the site about how Pres. Obama should respond to Scott's request for Federal assistance.

They evidently liked what he was doing and saying. Beats the hell out of me why or how, but they must have.

but the candidates picked by yes...DWS lied down quick. It would be more honest for Rick Scott to pay Debbie because without her, the GOP would not be so dominant.

Ran on his "expertise" as a businessman but never knew nothing about his company's massive Medicare fraud. Governs as a "businessman" who hates government but blames government for destroying this once beautiful state.

I'm surprised he wasn't Trump's VP pick.
