The Man Who Would Be SenatorHere are a few items you might want to consider before voting for Rick Scott as Senator from Florida (the candidate republicans are calling their "marquee" to retain control of the senate) to replace Bill Nelson: Read about his short Naval career enriching himself at the expense of his fellow sailors. Read about his years at Columbia/HCA enriching himself at the expense of American taxpayers. Read about his drug testing plans to enrich himself at the expense of Florida citizens. Read about his A+ NRA rating enriching his campaigns with donations from the NRA at the expense of dead Floridians. Read about his hurricane Irma grandstanding that contributed to the deaths of at least 11 people in nursing homes. Read about his environmental record so he can enrich his campaign coffers with donations from polluters. Read about his censoring of scientists to continue the efforts to enrich his campaign coffers at the expense of reality itself. Read about Rick Scott being wishy-washy on medicaid expansion but eventually, like a good republican Trump toady, coming down on the side of all true republicans who would rather kill off the poor and helpless rather than spend money on them which could go to tax cuts for plutocrats instead of helping people. Read about how Rick Scott profits from hepatitis C so he fails to act against the spread of the disease to enrich himself. Another article about Rick Scott profiting from hepatitis drugs. A new one reported by NPR: Read about Rick Scott and Brightline. The hits just keep coming: Rick Scott's "blind" trust mirrors hundreds of investments held by his wife. Another shocking development: In a monstrous coincidence, a Florida state agency invested $200 million with a big donor to Scott's super PAC. Imagine how surprised Rick Scott must have been. Not wanting to be left out of the republican fun, Rick Scott has been running his own voter suppression scam in Florida (which we will hopefully eliminate by passing amendment 4 on election day). You can imagine what all the other republican senate candidates are like if Rick Scott is the "marquee"... |
