Rick Scott, We Have No Words For You
Posted May 8, 2015

Today, the AP reported that Rick Scott admitted to using his mother’s death to try and trick the Obama administration into allowing Florida to privatize Medicaid. See for yourself.

In response, Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant issued the following statement:

“Sometimes there are just no words.

“The lengths to which Rick Scott will go to mislead the public are disgusting. Shame is not a strong enough word.”

Join us. Let's move Florida forward.

1. It was always obvious what Rick Scott was

the good people of Florida deserve whatever comes for electing him twice. One day they may learn.

2. Knew it was a lie when it happened.

He said okay to the expansion, knowing his pet legislature would either not address it before leaving for the year, or vote no. At the time, I felt that he just said it so it could not be used against him during the election campaign. I did talk with a few Republicans who swore we already had Medicaid expansion, because they saw Scott talk about it.

3. The guy is a total loser IMO! n/t

4. I dont live in FL and I know this is one of the most disgusting pigs to ever claim to be human

how in the FUCK can 51% of the state of FL claim not to know that too?

THAT is what pisses me off, not Scott

I expect Scott to act like the worst possible excuse for a living, breathing so called human, because he is.

Expecting him NOT to destroy people would be like expecting a rabid dog not to bite me.

The voters however have no excuses.

5. Booooooo

6. Rick Scott is a bizarro psychopath

He has that cop look, but with deranged eyes.

[gratuitous]

7. The only word I can think of: So?

Scott won re-election, which is all that matters to him and his bankrollers. A more recent example of the exact same thing is Netanyahu's re-election in Israel. The week before balloting, Netanyahu declared his opposition to the two-state solution. He was clearly pandering to the right wing reactionaries, but he was locked in a tight re-election battle. When the voting was over and he was safely back in control, Netanyahu came out to reassure his jittery foreign allies that he was just kidding about his opposition, and now they could trust him and stuff all over again.

Yeah, he's disgusting. But he's also the governor of Florida for another term. When are the Democrats going to get their act sufficiently together that they can actually beat this low-life?

8. He looks like a cadaver. I'm shocked every time I see his picture.

9. how stupid are the people in florida who voted for this imbecile and those who chose not to vote ?

[rhett o rick]

10. Ah contraire - I have some good and short words for him.

11. This 32-Year-Old Florida Woman Is Dead Because Her State Refused To Expand Medicaid

12. Ugh!

Lying SOS.
