Florida Governor McFraudy vetoes budget at open event, kicks out all liberals and Democrats

"Members of The Villages Democratic Club were barred from the budget signing by Scott staffers who said the outdoor event in The Villages town square was “private.” Other staffers and Republican operatives scoured the crowd and had Sumter County sheriff’s deputies remove those with anti-Scott signs or liberal-looking pins and buttons. They escorted more than a dozen people off the property. "


Good lord....can we all arrange to have a hooker snuck into the Governor's Mansion and get caught in the Governor's bed just so we can have some excuse to impeach this horrible, horrible man?

Gee, I wonder why the Governor is afraid of going out into a truly public forum, instead of being placed in front of a handpicked crowd of teabaggers where all the "undesirables" are kicked out:

Oh yeah, here's why...NOBODY LIKES HIM:

1. I hate to say it but he is the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party in a While
Fact is, every Republican would be just like him if they thought they could get away with it. He is going to singlehandedly ensure Obama's re-election by making Floridians thoroughly disgusted with Republicans and their policies. At this rate, Florida's legislature may go Democratic for the first time in forever in 2012.

2. The Villages?
Are you sure it was the staffers and not board members from the gestapo board?

3. I've heard scary stories about The Villages.
What's insane is that even if this was a "private event for The Villages", the Democratic Club of The Villages was banned from the event. Sick, sick, sick behavior.

Then again, it makes it perfectly clear why the man has a 29% approval rating less than six months after taking office.

5. I speak from experience. These super HOAs are ripe for fascism.

10. Friend of mine retired to The Villages
She and her husband are among the few Democrats there, and belong to the Democratic Club. She didn't attend this "event" because she knew they wouldn't be allowed in. Apparently the place is a broiling hotbed of Teakkklanners, Palin Groupies, etc. She didn't know this before they built a house and moved there . . .

12. Bwah! Well, my friend did say
There was an almost universal, spontaneous orgasm when Glen Beckkk had a book signing there! Traffic was so backed up, she couldn't even get to the grocery store.

13. I sort of wish my inlaws would move there.
For more than one reason.

4. The Rep. Governors' memo apparently still reads: "Openly Evil Still the Plan."

6. He is hated here in Florida, and ...
Edited on Fri May-27-11 10:33 AM by Akoto
I have no doubt that he will not see a second term. Unfortunately, I think he knows it and is gonna ram through every horrible thing he can before he's pushed out.

Honestly, I don't know how he won in the first place. It was a really close race, and I'm betting some folks are regretting not having broken the tie differently. I, for one, could tell he was a problem just from his crazy eyes on his campaign commercials.

7. 3 1/2 years of Rick Scott as governor is still too long.
Just imagine the damage he can do based on the past 6 months alone.

And I had previously thought we'd never see anyone worse than Jeb.

8. Florida law does not allow for a recall. They are stuck with him.

9. Hence my hooker idea.
Edited on Fri May-27-11 11:18 AM by Tommy_Carcetti
That's about the only thing that would get the attention of the Republican dominated legislative majority to pay attention and get the impeachment ball rolling.

Conflicts of interest with big business? Fraud? Yeah, like Republicans will care about that. Maybe, just maybe, a sex scandal will do the trick.
