Same person who single-handedly rejected billions of federal dollars for high-speed rail...

Same person who single-handedly ordered huge cuts in disabled services...

Same person who refuses to go after BP for the money that is owed the state...

Same person had no fucking problem defrauding the federal government out of hundreds of millions of dollars when he was CEO of Colombia/HCA. Same person whose company Solantic is currently under investigation for fraud.

Makes you want to grab a torch and pitchfork and head to Tallahassee, doesn't it.

1. Kinda makes Scott Walker look like a common thug....
...Rick Scott was legend in the healthcare industry as one who screwed everyone - patients, doctors, nurses and other staff, the government and no doubt his own mother.



He should be in a cell.

2. Kind of...
I'm thinking along the lines of one of those Easton aluminum baseball bats, and beating his bald fucking skull bloody on the steps of the capitol.
Now I don't mean that of course...
So there is this.
:sarcasm:

But, I am saying that something needs to be done.
Because this motherfucker, is an out and out criminal.
And sadly, I live in this toilet of a state.
AND I AM PISSED.

3. And FYI Darrel Issa, started the Cal Governor re-call, then cried like a baby on TV
when it came out that his (Cobra?) steering wheel lock company was founded after he was convicted of stealing cars.

That re-call was how we came to have Arnold!

Communication and passing along the truth is our power.

5. Thanks for the support....
I live here, and I didn't vote for this prick.
I LOVE supportive DU'ers like YOU.
I got buyers remorse the second I read your dismissive post.

9. dont worry
There are enough blue state duer's who support us. Of course, it also helps that the teabaggers are making headway in blue states, like my old state of New Jersey.

6. So all Floridians should suffer because of that?
And I suppose you also feel that the people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, and other teabagger-led states are getting what they deserve, and you don't feel sorry for any of them.

8. He resigned as CEO, managed to avoid criminal charges
Edited on Fri Apr-01-11 10:44 PM by Hugabear
He claimed that he wasn't aware of the fraud that was going on. That either makes him a liar or a grossly incompetent CEO.

However, there's still an ongoing investigation into another one of his companies, Solantic. We can only hope that he'll face justice as a result of that one. Somehow, though, I'm not going to get my hopes up to high.

11. more like HE WAS FORCD TO RESIGN and go into hiding for a while
Edited on Sat Apr-02-11 06:16 AM by onethatcares
while Columbia HCA paid a record fine of 1.7 BILLION DOLLARS, The fine was the largest ever against a hospital chain the sole reason being

the fraud was so wide spread and was of such a large amount the feds couldn't figure out just how large it was so they quit adding after a time.

prickscott received a 300,000,000.00 severance package for his work with them and he begrudges the teachers and state workers their pay.

he was elected by a margin of 38,000 votes or one half the capacity of Raymond James Stadium.

can I tell you that I hate seeing this man more than I hated seeing * ?
