florida politics

[carson]

Whooaa doggy! Texas politiks ain't got nuthin' on Florida! Wow, some really sophomoric mud slinging, I am surprised the disclaimers arent in crayon. Factcheck would have a field day on 80% of the misleading ads. Case in point..Gwen Graham accused of "supporting" implication..voted for... Obamacare, she wasn't in office at the time of the vote. Charlie Crist lost the state of Florida almost 700k jobs? Really, do people not own televisions? The worst recession in history with almost 10 million jobs lost in the US from 08 to 10. Maybe people dont vacation, maybe they dont dine out...maybe Floridas economy is based on tourism? Do people really beleive this? We have regained all of those jobs BUT 60% are considered low paying and only 27% are mid wage range which was 60% of the jobs lost in 08 to 10. You will be surprised to know that I am voting for Rick Scott! He supports the restaurant and lodging industry big time and has a decent moderate record.

Why would you vote for Rick Scott after the stats you laid out?

 

[Andy A]

Jobs, economy, taxes, education increases.

I usually avoid commenting on political theater, but I'm like a moth to a flame on this one.

The reason many people don't vote is due to horrible choices at the polls. Choosing the lesser of two evils isn't any fun. I'm no fan of Rick Scott, but Charlie Crist makes my skin crawl.

I agree, many time the Hospitality business gets overlooked on SOME Republican agendas in favor of higher paying jobs in other sectors, like tech or oil. Historically people that work in the hospitality business are left leaning, I suppose it is such a massive part of the FL economy that Scott embraces it. Crist is just creepy.

I think we are talking about different kinds of creepy. Christ is just creepy in the usual sense of a opportunistic politician with no real lasting policies. Scott is in a whole new realm of creepiness in his very core. His creepiness is deep down in his marrow. He exudes creepiness through his pores. Anyone to takes the fifth amendment 72 times in one disposition and spends 73 million dollars in one political campaign is pushing the envelope of creepiness.

His name is spelled Crist. You must really think highly of him.

 

[Lake View Too]

No. I really thought Jesus Christ was running, you know , to defeat the antichrist, Creep Scott.

 

[Leader of the Banned]

I find it hard to believe that the polls are favoring Satan, so my sources tell me.

Rick Scott is the lowest form of scum to ever be governor in modern times. He balanced a 2 billion plus state deficit by stealing teacher wages meant for their retirement funds. He perpetrated the largest civil fraud in the history of the United states by defrauding medicare through HCA, and every Redneck Republican alive proclaims this guy a straight shooter. If the guy knocked on my door I'd call the police.
