Florida, how could you of all people elect a TRANSPLANT GOVERNOR?

[HockeyMom]

Plus, a transplant of only SEVEN YEARS? Come on, people. What the hell does he know, or CARE, about Florida? To add insult to injury, NAPLES "own"? You are joking, right? I've lived in Naples, Florida, for four years, three less than Trick Ricky. Never mind that Naples hardly represents the state of Florida, fo, or even seven years, does not a Floridian make.

The Man in Black (what he looks like) came here to screw you, for his own agenda, and financial gains. Where I am from they say, "Wanna buy a Bridge?"

Two thirds of this state are transplants, which means they have family in other states. I go back many times a year. I tell everyone I meet, on planes, streets, family members, STAY OUT OF FLORIDA. Most people are thoroughly shocked at what I say. Hear that one, Mr. Scott? Don't move you, or your business here. Don't become a teacher, or government worker here. Spend a week vacation here, and GET OUT and GO BACK TO YOUR NICE HOME.

Sunshine dollars? Stay where you are, and buy a sun lamp. A lot cheaper.

1. The morning of the election, Alex Sink was ahead by five percent. When the

results were released, Alex Sink lost by five percent. A turn around of !0%...

What does that tell you about Florida elections? How soon you all forgot Election 2000.

Or as old Joe Stalin once said, it's not the voters who determine the outcome of an election; it's the vote counters who do...

3. Actually, polls showed Sink and Scott in a dead heat:

And by election day, more Republicans had already cast ballots in early and absentee voting.

4. We didn't elect him, he brought it.

Outspent Sink 8 to 1 and still had to squeeze by with less than 1% difference.
He's a plague, but not a one-man plague. The House and Senate are controlled by the FL version of the Taliban - right-wing zealots who are more concerned with women's ovaries than they are about doing anything meaningful for the state.
They just spent a significant portion of the last session scribbling bills all but moving abortions back to the alleys.
They're not too different from terrorists, when you come to think about it.

5. a nativist transplant?

Do you grok how the majority rule election thing works?


Don't move you, or your business here. Don't become a teacher, or government worker here. Spend a week vacation here, and GET OUT and GO BACK TO YOUR NICE HOME.

People come here to vacation because of the beautiful rivers, coasts and weather. I doubt 10% of them know who the governor is.
People also move here because we don't have an income tax.


Sunshine dollars? Stay where you are, and buy a sun lamp. A lot cheaper.



LOL! Made our first trip to the beach last weekend, my buddy in Minnesota was shoveling snow!
Mash Island vs sun lamp - you decide!

6. well, if prickscott and the current legislature has their way

those beautiful beaches, rivers and campgrounds are a thing of the past.

As far as the teachers are concerned, there are something like 8 different types of schools now being offered.
charter schools, virtual charter schools, home schools, computer schools, virtual charter home schools, and a few others that
are taking our tax dollars and stuffing them into private hands with no oversight. Until the rent and teachers don't get paid
that is. Then the tax payers have to bail the administrators out a second time "for the childrens' sake" .

Meanwhile, public schools are failing due to the fcat..
