Republican Governors Refuse Federal Aid

Did that headline grab your attention? Well, it should; especially in light of the Republican mantra that government is evil.

From Politicususa, "Will debt-obsessed, we-have-a-spending-problem, and keep-the-federal-government-out-of-state-business conservative Republican governors, such as Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia, refuse the federal aid headed their way?"

Let me answer this question by asking another question, do pigs fly? 

I have never seen a flying pig and I doubt that I will see a Republican governor turn down federal disaster relief funds until a hurricane hits Florida. When another devastating storm hits the state, I would not be surprised to see pigs from the Panhandle to the Keys sprouting wings. 

The CEO who bought the state, Rick Scott (R - a prick with ears), has already turned down billions of federal dollars just so he could give Obama "the finger". It is frightening to think of what Scott would do in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

Scott and his spin-meisters have been unusually quiet of late. I would like to hear before hand what we might expect if our worst fears come to fruition.

Right now I have no illusions that Scott would even know how to deal with a natural disaster much less the cleanup and rebuilding afterwards. We Floridians may be on our own.
