I see that another Republican has entered the primary race for governor of Florida. Richard Scott (R-Let them eat sh...er, cake) from Naples has decided that his 13 years in Florida somehow qualifies him to be our next governor. He is a "hospital tycoon", and he is against health care reform. Now that is a big flippin' surprise, and just what we need...another damn yankee coming down to Florida telling us what to do. Scott would appear to be another shining example of "I've got mine, and you can go...," a sentiment possibly not shared by millions in our state who have lost their jobs and consequently their employer provided health insurance. I am almost certain that Floridians with pre-existing medical conditions would really rather eat cake than have health coverage, though.
What bothers me the most is, like many other Republicans, his only platform seems to be aimed at destroying President Obama and "taking back our country" (presumably to the stone age). Why is it (I ask naively) so hard for the "party of hell-no" to accept that Obama is the duly elected president of the United States and while they don't necessarily agree with him that maybe, just maybe, it would be in the best interests of this country to put aside self-serving politics and actually do something for the good of this country and this state? Maybe just work with the man instead of trying to bring him to his knees.
If we have to have another Republican governor, I'd prefer Dockery over McCollum or this F.N.G. And, Alex Sink...where the hell are you? To paraphrase from the climatic dog fight at the end of Top Gun, "...engage, engage, dammit!"
