Who is the worst Governor in the Country? |
|
My vote goes to Rick Scott of Florida, very closely followed by Rick Snyder, and then Chris Christie. I have to give the edge to Scott because, in addition to his assault on public employees, his executive orders includes mandatory drug testing for all government workers and welfare recipients, requiring a sonogram and speech by doctors on the development of the woman's embryo (1st trimester also) or fetus before all abortions can take place. The Florida Constitution was amended, by a vote of the people, to decrease class sizes. It was put up for a vote to repeal that last year. It failed, but Scott has tried by executive order to circumvent that. Of course, there is his Medicare fraud and taking the 5th, transferring his drug testing company (conflict of interest testing all these people?) to his wife before the election, and now "she" is trying to sell it.
On, and on, and on. I have to give the edge to Scott over Snyder. What are YOUR opinions?

His veto on money that the citrus growers themselves generate for reserach was shocking.

4. There's so many, many good choices, but Rick Scott is the worst.... |
|
...Scott Walker, John K-Sick, Rick Snidely and the rest are sure trying to catch him!
How does one get away of defrauding Medicare for millions and then get elected Governor? Amazing.

6. Will the doctor's written report on a women's maternal history be for the profit |

of Rick Scott's health care business... Has Debbie Wasserman come out swinging about this bizarre intrusion into the medical privacy of women's health care?

7. Perry deserves mention |
|
Anyone who flirts with secession and bitches about lack of FEMA money (after having received tons of federal support for those fires) shoots to the top of my list.

9. NM's Gov Susana Martinez |
|
A former DA, this woman wants to rule NM from a prosecutor's perspective. She wants to overturn NM's medical cannabis program and laws.

Rick Scott, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Scott Walker, Rick Perry.
They add up to 10% of all the states' governors.

12. You forgot Rick Snyder in Michigan. Anyway, they are all bought and paid for by the Kochs. |
|
They are all on the same page. Coincidence? I think not.

13. I have to nominate Tom Corbett, our reptilian leader in PA. |

There are so many to choose from that it really makes you wonder where this country is headed. However, this traffic sign seems to answer the question of where we're headed.

The royal flush of gubernatorial shit. When he entered office he famously said "Ohio is open for business", but we soon found out he meant "for sale".
At 32%, we have the polls to back it up.
