I do not understand all of the people who are willing to say Scott is such a crook and imply Crist is not, they are BOTH crooks, i just prefere to pick the crook who has also shown positive results for my state instead of the one who is stealing everything and not even leaving any crumbs for the little guy.
John i prefere pigs feet and collards with hog jaws over both of the crooks running for Governor, pigs feet and collards with hog jaws is an old staple food that is still eatten by many in the south, including myself, only a transplant would find them offensive or someone whoms family is not from the deep South.
The problem with crooked politicians will not change. I do not believe either one of these guys give two cents about the people of Florida, the only reason they want to be Governor is to try and put thier sticky fingers in as many pockets as possible, using the system against the very people whom they are to serve. I believe thier are plenty of poor people who could do just as well as either one of these turkeys but politicking is a rich mans game and the system is set up to keep it that way. Too many people believe that only a rich man can run a country successfully or a poor man wouldn’t be poor. That is simply not true, but the rich folks want to make sure they keep the hold on power.

Your proof that Charile took money from a scam artist? I hope it’s not because Rick Scott and a convicted felon said so…

We all know who the crook is… and it isn’t Charlie. He flip flopped political parties. He’s not the first and won’t be the last. I find it ironic Reagan is LOVED by the Republican party, but he was once a democrat. Hmmm…

In my opinion I wish there were more candidates to choose from its like going to a buffet and the only two items they have is pigs feet, and collards with hog jaw in it, you can’t hardly stomach either. So neither one is worth bragging about or defending. Its so sad our nation has gotten to this point and that people will argue over the fool there going to elect, maybe its because were a bunch of fools.

Gov. Flim Flam’s company plead guilty to stealing billions from Medicare and they gave Rick 300 million to go away and plead the 5th, 75 times. Crist took money from a scam artist and sold him the judges he wanted. Both were good Republi-crooks but now Charlie is a Demo-crook. Pot meet Kettle, both are black with the soot of corruption.

Tring to figure him out? Not me. I saw him coming from a ways out. Just youtube his medicare fraud deposition. He is a criminal. He slung mud at Bill Mccollum, during the first election and did the same toward Sink; amazing what a political consultant/ media group can come up with. He stole some of my money and I want it back!!!

Sidebar to ‘No Excuses:’

Your reply to Kate is fair enough to this point– “enough already.” Every voter gets to have their say, and you are not authorized to restrict anyone’s point of view in our country.

Everyone gets to have a voice, even if you don’t like it.

Guess what– I don’t agree with you, either, but you are free to have your say.

Rick Scott has been a bad Governor for the State of Florida. Untrustworthy, deceptive and a brazen violator of the Sunshine Law–much like Ashton Hayward & Brian Spencer in the City of Pensacola.

Charlie Crist isn’t much better, but marginally better is still better.

I say vote for Charlie and hope we get a better choice in 4 years.

Rick Scott is a stain on Florida.

I wonder if tricky Rick gives credit To Obama for the economy boom, historic rise in the stock market, and recovery of the jobs which were the results of the Bush Oresidency? Scott sure does seem to take credit for it. Hmmm.

@Kate,

You do not speak for me or describe me. Please stop being so personal with your comments about Republicans. You have no idea what I have done or what thought processess I have used to come to my decision of whom to vote for. I rarely watch TV, so political ads are a mystery for me. ALL of them are negative and mudslinging, so I just go on the record of the one running. I like Scott’s record MUCH better than Crist! I didn’t vote for Crist the first time around, and I sure am not voting for him now. We know you don’t like Scott – enough already!

Scott supporters all echo his ads, what do you do sit there and stare until are glued to your brain. Charlie Crist didn’t increase anything your house and senate did it all republicans I might add.
