Yesterday, to ring in the new year, I unveiled something
special, and readers of The Seminole Democrat can help make it even better.
At the link at the end of this entry, you’ll find a posting
on my own blog, Rick Scott Must Go! It’s a list of 146 non-partisan reasons why
Rick Scott deserves to be voted out of office. (They’d also make a nice list
for why he deserves to be recalled, if only we had a recall function
here…sigh.) I also posted it on my Facebook page.
Why non-partisan?
Because Rick Scott is a menace to the well-being of all
Florida citizens – regardless of political views. And those of us who live here
and still possess faculties of reason need to unite in spite of partisan
differences, and show that someone like Rick Scott will not be tolerated in the
governor’s office.
What can you do?
I’m a pretty good researcher. But I’m sure I missed a few
things. Please check the list out, and see if you can find any mistakes, or if
you can think of anything to add. If you do think of something I can add,
please write me at indiethinker777@gmail.com
and let me know. I will want some sort of documentation, like you see in the
listings now: Preferably from a mainstream Florida media source, like one of the
newspapers.
Also, when you submit something, remember that the list is
intended to be non-partisan. Yes, many voters from partisan camps have reason
to be angry with Scott; even the Tea Party people (sounds like some alien Grade
B movie group, doesn’t it?) are upset with him over a few things by this time.
Scott is nothing if not an equal opportunity offender, which is about what
you’d expect from someone whose only principles are green and come in
denominations. But as I said, all thinking and caring citizens of this state need
to unite in purpose if we’re going to unseat this monster. So I prefer to keep
the list non-partisan. (Maybe I can
make some “partisan” lists later.)
I’d like to get some feedback for a while, and then see what
can be done about getting this listing around. Please accept my thanks in
advance for any suggestions!
My thanks, again, to the Seminole Democrat’s My Stupid State
series, and the archive at ricksscottsucks.us, for providing so much of the
material I used to create the listing.
Pretty comprehensive list! some you left out I'm sure because you wanted each one to be seen as a good justification by both left and right. I would argue that the complete gutting of business oversight and consumer protections would be universally understood. Under Rick Suck: Movers can now change their prices mid-move, mechanics don't have to give written estimates, dozens of professions (like mold inspectors) no longer need a license, and the protections in place against our longtime problem with shady timeshare companies have vanished.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes indeed, that was the idea -- to appeal to things that everyone will agree to. I do like the suggestion, but do you know where that is documented in a media source? It's powerful stuff!

Hey, I noticed that this post was #666 on this blog. I guess I just proved that Rick Scott is the antichrist!

ReplyDeleteCheck it out IT... my friends at Recall Rick Scott posted your list.
DeleteExcellent!! That was one of the places I had in mind for it, too. Please thank them for me!
DeleteI also have reason 147 ready, but I'll wait until I get 150 to revise the list. Shouldn't be long!!
