Obama Critic Rick Scott to Run for Governor, and Boy, Does He Have an Interesting Past

• fool

• how can a thief be a governor and handle all this money? What kind of people voted for this criminal and crook, he looks like a crack head. The douchebag should be in prison doing time. How embarassing for america to have a thief for governor. How can he talk about foreigners breaking the law when he is a criminal? I am like sooo many people I feel disgusted when I see his uggly front

• I just don't know who to vote for. There is such negativity on both sides. What is one supposed to believe? I would like to talk to both Rich Scott and Alex Sink. I think the voting public needs to be able to question both of the candidates in order to make an informed decision.

• You dont want a crook for Governor. We elect them all the time here in Illinois. Most of them were Democrats

• Rick Scott was not charged with a crime or even interviewed by investigators in the medicare fraud case. I realize he ran the hospital and the buck stops with him. The fact that he wasnt even interviewed in the case of a 1.7 billion dollar fraud case (that was the fine) makes me feel alot better about him. Believe me dozens of lawyers involved with federal investigators ANYONE could of dragged him in for questioning.. Nobody did... so If any of us actually understood the finer points of this case it may twist this around in his favor. Maybe this case was stupid and political from the beginning. Maybe it was a very explainable situation. When i heard the racist accusation today i thought wow. there goes the left again calling people racist.. turns out some guy claims to have been told to not hire blacks.. yet Scott had a higher than normal # of minorities employed. His policy certainly isnt not hiring them which is fact. Dont believe the hype people.. most of this is crap. If it wasnt crap you would have a clue as to what " fraud he performed" Who did he trick out of money and how did he trick them. these are the FACTS that are missing.. until we hear them we dont know squat. Scott will win the governers race. Florida hates this health care mandate. Florida doesnt want a medicade cut. Florida doesnt want cap and trade / tax Florida is sick of deeper in debt. The Obama supporter he is running against says in her new commercial " Rick scott wants to talk about Obama" lol Yes because you vote with him everytime.. You spent 3 trillion of our money in 1.5 years which my kids will be paying for. All the stimulus was pet projects... did you get any of that money? I didnt get any of that money. no stimulus for me.. I guess i should of been blowing somebody to get some of that action... its sickening.. payoffs to your connected friends who want to profit from the huge projects and sales you give them does not stimulate the economy. it stimulates the economy of your friend.. and a few of his workers." the bare minimum of course" Once the project is over its adios muchacho. Nice stimulus. Im really feeling it. We need to vote these jackals out of office and get back to the Bush years. Nobody wants to admit it but the deficit was 1.5 trillion when he left office and the cost of the iraq afghan wars cost 1.5 trillion. the only deficit he ran was because of the war.. not a nickel more wasted. If i remember correctly 90% of all senators and congressmen from both parties voted to do these 2 wars due to 9-11 and other worries. We all spent that money to protect ourselves.. the bush deficit is not proof of a system that doesnt work.. thats what obama keeps saying.. " we tried it that way it doesnt work" it was working great. We still had a surplus if you minus out the war we didnt ask for and all choose to fight. Grow up democrats.. do the math and argue with logic. your on the wrong team. switch sides and do what is right.

• This is to David McCormick: Shame on you! This is why the country and the economy is in the mess it's in! To an extent I understand about the bottom line, but when it comes to healthcare you don't play around with that one! Maybe you CEOs need to cut your salaries and politicians to get this economy back to where it needs to be!!!!!That's that!!!

• I worked at a Columbia/HCA hospital in Georgia in the 1990s. When I heard about this crook running for governor, I was flabbergasted to say the least. At first, we all thought this new company would be a good thing. As time went on, a few months to a year, we noticed at least one/two employees per department and per shift being laid off. Another fact, the organization also fraudulantly stole from Medicare/Medicaid, and poor,innocent patients and their homes due to their price gouging.He was convicted and ordered to pay back the money. Of course, being a lawyer, he weasled out of some of it. If he is elected to any office, they will need prayer and will corrupt it. This man needs to be in prison, not public office.

• Rick Scott is a scumbag. President Obama didn't defreaud medicare dumbass. Republicans are always trying the two wrongs make it right scenario with all of their douche bag candidates like Rick Scott. Don't say President Obama did something wrong and declare it's alright that my guy is a crook. That's 3rd grade mentality.

• The majority of voters in Florida realize that Rick Scott is part of the problem, not the solution to the overall political and business corruption. How can anyone that has ever managed any business not see such a large scale fraud as was the case of HCA. All Rick Fraud did was have others do his dirty work through management by fear. That is fear of losing your job as if you balked at committing fraud. In Rick Scott's current company, he only wants younger employees simply because the young ones are easy to convince to do their dirty work as they are strapped with debt from student loans, car loans and credit cards. The younger employees need a job and are easily lured into committing fraud! So if corruption and illegal activity is what Florida wants, vote for Rick Scott or otherwise show Rick Scott the door and keep him and his corrupt business dealings out of the office of the govenerr of Florida!

• Does anyone else think this guy is the biggest loser of all time, FL needs someone like him as much as we need Osama, everytime I see him on T.V. I think great another mess up who rips off the goverment wanting an office in it & the money he frauded is now used to smear his opponents...... He says he want to fire goverment workers in the state but in the same ad he talks about drug testing people on welfare & that's going to cost a lot is he going to use the money he made frauding to pay for that? I see its a good way to get votes since he can't do it in any other way its just funny to me how he says FL NEEDS A CHANGE from the normal politicans but still uses those same BS tactics, but he needs to listen to himself & anyone who votes for him should do the world a favor and end their own sorry life...

• Do we need a racist in Florida? I don�t believe we do. The same AZ law? Miami will be a dessert, and all the bussines owner(restaurant, construction etc) will be in prison. I am a legal foreiner resident, but I know that Miami is a paradise where everybody lives peacefuly and in armony. We don�t need a Rick Scott here! He maybe better in Arizona!

• As a CEO myself, we do what we have to do for the bottom line that we get our stock options and a large bonus. It is better to defraud and get caught and then only pay back only a portion of what we defrauded the government out of, than let the company bottom line suffer. That�s our job. We don't pay back the bonus we received; and the company pays back only a small portion of what they received, never all of it and at that it never goes back to the right place when it gets to the government anyway, its lost and forgotten and we write off the payback on our company earnings financials as well. Is Rick Scott honest and the best to the job? Hell no but he knows how to manipulate the system so well you have to admire him. How do you think he got all of his money for his advertisement�s he has on TV? This is how it is and shall remain so everyone out there needs to get used to it and stop dreaming that it will ever change you don�t want it to change, you need us out there. David McCormack (FL)

• I feel we do not need a genuine, no question about it, admitted crook for governor. Leopards don't quickly change their spots. You certainly have nerve!

• Well, If you only want "mainstream" employees - not old, fat or with an accent, you should expect only votes from "mainstream" voters. Good luck in Florida since so many of us are old, fat and have accents. This is one more ego trip for this smart but uncaring crook.

• he had a racist minister for 20 years, Had friends commit treason on top of an organization he worked with being under investigation ... Oh wait... wrong guy....that was Barack Obama. people amaze me by using selective memory. HOLD EVERYONE TO THE SAME STANDARD!!!! By the way I vote in florida and I support Bill McCollum, best man for the job.

• thought id look this guy up since seeing his commercials, seems to be a scumbag, he wont win, my as well send your stolen money to me for donations to honest people.

• I remember the douchebag when the HCA story was big. I'm surprised he isn't in prison.

• This man is suppose to come in and change things. To make things better. For himself maybe, and others in "His" party. People like this are so quick to judge when their past isn't any better. When people with Millions pour their Millions into something, they sure as Hell believe they are going to get Millions back. And who from: the people they are saying they are trying to protect from big government. Who are they kidding.
