If you believe Rick when he says this, I got some fine swamp to sell you.

1. I'm sure there are a lot of "Joneses", "Thompsons", "Andersons" and "Smiths" on his list.

2. Sometimes liars are embarrassed when they're caught

Other times they're just sociopaths

[MrScorpio]

3. He's right, they're not...

He's actually targeting Democrats, many of whom just happen to be minority citizens.

7. Bingo.

4. Call out the fire trucks

for them flaming pants!

5. Of course Ricky. We believe you.

It's just a coincident that the purge list contains a majority of Hispanics and African Americans. I'm sure you and your rightwing buddies did not know that this would be the case before the purge list began.

DO YOU THINK WE'ER STUPID!

6. I see people got the point

At this point though, I wonder why Rick is bothering to lie. He could say that he is out to ban everyone but GOP whites from voting, and there would be a "Hallelujah" right off I-4, right where that big Confederate flag is, the one that is supposed to be about "Heritage" not hate.

8. Throwing around absolutely, like he has any idea what it means.

The republicans use "absolutely" like their spreading it on bread as a low-fat butter replacement.

[DonCoquixote]

9. ABSOLUTELY

Because they only think in absolutes, and are absolute idiots.

10. And Columbia/HCA never defrauded medicare when Rick Scott was CEO

Sorry if I remain skeptical of anything Rick Scott says or does....

11. And he and his family never ripped off Medicare

<snip>
In 1987, at age 34, he co-founded Columbia Hospital Corporation with two business partners; this merged with Hospital Corporation of America in 1989 to form Columbia/HCA and eventually became the largest private for-profit health care company in the U.S. He resigned as Chief Executive of Columbia/HCA in 1997 amid a controversy over the company's business and Medicare billing practices; the company ultimately admitted to fourteen felonies and agreed to pay the federal government over $600 million; Scott was not implicated.[4][5][6][7][8] Scott later became a venture capitalist.
