Alex Sink wants insurance investigators carrying assault rifles

Would it be presumptuous of me to infer that there is a point to this video?

i've owned an m4

So does Alex sink want insurance investigators carrying assault rifles? Did she say this? And if so, did she explain why?

Who is the mastermind who thought this would be effective in influencing anyone to get out and vote (and to vote for someone else besides Alex Sink) who wasn't doing so already?

And who was the media company?

This is pathetic dude. Seriously.

You posting this would make more sense to me if you were a Sink supporter pretending to be for the opposition with the intent to make said opposition look silly.

GEO,
I googled Sink and Assault Rifles it appears that Ms. Sink purchased over $250,000 dollars worth of M4 Assault Rifles from a Florida based company. The rifles were for fraud investigators. According to the article the fraud investigators had previously been issued pistols.

While I agree the clip above is not informative as to what Ms. Sink did it does seem that Ms. Sink may be over arming people who work for her.

Ok. Now I understand what wrobert (and the video) were *trying* to say.

But again- the presentation was so bad that it makes me want to vote for her, not against her.

Does seem to be overkill to have assault rifles, but it sounded like the investigators requested them.

Plus this comment made me wonder if it really was:

"Several years ago, there was an analysis conducted of arrests for insurance fraud in Florida and it was found that a sizable percentage of suspects arrested either were armed or had a previous felony conviction involving a violent crime. With the increasing numbers of organized crime rings getting into insurance fraud, the case could be made that state investigators should be armed."

So now we have pencil pushers driving around with automatic weapons in their trunk...
At least when the postman goes postal all they have is a dog whistle or can of mace company issued.

It's not often you'll get an email from me that encourages you to watch a cheap, personal attack ad against me from the Republican Party of Florida.

But you're getting one today.

I ordered my campaign to send this Republican Party ad out statewide, so as many Floridians as possible can see firsthand just how offensively out-of-touch the Republican Party of Florida has become.

The Republican Party's lack of respect for law enforcement officers and their families is on full display in this ridiculous video. And I'm pretty mad about it.

Watch the Republican Party's pathetic and offensive ad here .

The Republican Party can falsely and personally insult me all they want. I expect it, and you'd better believe that I can take it.

But I will not -- not for even one, solitary second -- allow the Republican Party of Florida to get away with attacking and ridiculing Florida's law enforcement officers.

You and I know the Republican Party of Florida will do or say just about anything to win an election. You and I know the Republican Party of Florida will do or say just about anything to change the subject from a federal investigation into the massive credit card scandal among their leaders.

But attacking our sworn law enforcement officers is out of bounds.

Here's the background behind the Republican ad:

This week, Republicans in the Florida Legislature launched an outrageous attempt to deny the sworn law enforcement officers in my department the tactical weapons we purchase to keep them safe in a dangerous job. You can read all about it here .

Well, just yesterday -- the same day the Republican Party of Florida unleashed this ugly ad -- one of our fraud investigators arrested a man in Tampa on charges of committing PIP Insurance Fraud. And that man... had a gun in his car.

Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect the people of Florida every single day. They deserve our gratitude and respect. But, instead, the Republican Party of Florida subjects them to insults and ridicule.

The words that came to mind when I saw this outrageous attack on our law enforcement officers aren't fit for print. Suffice it to say: I am beyond offended when I see even one of Florida's law enforcement officers mocked this way.

So, send this ad to everyone you know. Let the people of Florida see just how low the Republican Party of Florida is willing to go.

I will not stand by while the Republican Party of Florida mocks our law enforcement officers.

And I know you won't either.

Thank you for taking a moment to give this your attention,


Alex Sink
Florida CFO
