Time to Recall Rick Scott?

[Bob]

Independent of whether or not Scott detractors would have the votes to do it, you would first need a constitutional amendment passed. If you can get the ballot measure approved by the legislature the next possible ballot vote is Nov. of 2012.

Until then, you'll simply have to accept the will of the voters.

BTW, I'd support passing that type of amendment if it did come to a vote.

the will of the one percent who voted the party line

Calling people criminals because they have been caught breaking the law - far too logical for the political forum. :roll:

 

[Teresa]

IMO most of the people squacking about recalling Scott should have paid attention and solved the issue back in November.

This is the candidate who got elected. No surprises IMO.

exactly what I was thinking as I read these threads. this is who/what the people voted for. doesn't mean we have to be happy or quiet about the way leadership is proceeding, or how issues are being treated.

Because many legal scholars think he's crossed the line between executive and legislative power and gone against state law in some of those actions. And the thing is that he probably could have accomplished 90% of that list by going through the legal and proper means once the overwhelmingly Republican state legislature went into session.

Good point!

Andy for the record he did start the dirty rhetoric.

I'd love to come to a Tea Party meeting, but I don't associate with criminals.
SWGB, this is one of the lowest post you have ever entered, bar none.
To equate me, my associates and those associated with the TEA Party as criminals is even beyond your usual degree of nonsensibility. When you have done something really good for this country, as many of these fine citizens have, let me know. Until then, I'll be hopeful that the calling of TEA Party members criminals was due to too much to drink or thoughtlessness on your part. It was completely uncalled for.

Rick Scott is a full blown criminal and you support this criminal. You and your tea swillers are criminals by brotherly association. You love this man. You worship his Dauchau guard like appearance and demeanor and his complete contempt for anyone not in bed with corporate thieves. HealthCarefraudTeaBaggersLiars Club. Tell me some more about Obamacare and how you don't want brown people to have healthcare, but it's perfectly Okie Dokie to rape the country of hundreds of millions in billing fraud.

Somebody is off their meds again!

SWGB, I'll say only this. First of all, I don't know what you're talking about and secondly, there are a lot of retired military who attend those meetings. I am one of them and while I may have skirted the law now and then, I am anything but a criminal and neither are they. If you don't like the TEA Party, fine, but quit calling people criminals because they believe in their principles. If you can prove your assumption, by all means, file a complaint with the proper authorities.
One thing more. I was pleased to see you return to posting. I have not read one post by you that was worthwhile to me since you returned. I withdraw my "pleased".

Guess I'll just have to start filling out some forms...

P.S. I hope any contributions to the local teabaggers on your part aren't cash or in excess of $50.00.

Scott like Sanford--we've seen this play before...

Florida Governor Rick Scott Upsets Republican Lawmakers - TIME

Florida Governor Rick Scott gives off a wide-eyed glow of certainty about everything he does. The Tea Party Republican has worn it from the moment he took office on Jan. 4, and since then he's rankled even conservatives in his own party with his imperious style. In his first eight weeks, he's put forth a budget proposal that slashes education spending ? an area in which low-wage, low-tech Florida can't really afford to scrimp ? by 15%; put the kibosh on a high-speed-rail project, funded with federal and private dollars, that could have created up to 30,000 jobs; campaigned to repeal a prescription-drug-monitoring law in a state where seven people die each day from an overdose; and pressed to kill two amendments that Floridians passed last November to curb the reckless gerrymandering of their legislative districts.
(See souvenirs from a Tea Party rally.)

But as much as Scott would like to think he's revolutionizing government, it's best to remember that we already saw this movie not so long ago, starring former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford ? and the ending wasn't pretty
