Rick Scott explained why he deleys debate over a fan.His answer is damn right NUTS!!

[bigdarryl]

WTF!! did he just say? And Floridians picked this guy as Governor.WOW!!!

[JI7]

1. i can't figure out if this makes more or less sense than Nimrata Haley's

comments about the confederate flag and CEOs

[jmowreader]

52. Less

[BuelahWitch]

2. Another Republican who speaks in Word Salad.

We may need to make that the official language of the Republican Party.

[Sancho]

3. Frankly, I don't see how Scott won the first time...

even some of my repub neighbors don't like him. There are lots of theories: Alex Sink was simply a weak opponent, independents voted without paying attention, the tabulators were hacked...who knows?

At any rate, there were multiple times in this debate that Scott was simply bizarre.

[bigdarryl]

4. Two words

Alex Sink. HORRIBLE candidate and then the stupid democratic party in Florida put her up again to run for a open Congressional seat.

[genxlib]

46. Agreed wholeheartedly

Then she had the nerve to use her campaign mailing list to blast email how she was going to work for some financial firm. I blasted her in a return email which I am sure never got read by anyone.

Even so, he still should have lost. But that was in the peak "kill-the-old-people" fear mongering that took place after the ACA.

It boggles my mind that people on medicare voted for a medicare swindler but that was the power of the anti-ACA propaganda.

[JI7]

5. it was a very close race, he only got like 1 percent more than her and even then he got under 50

percent .

he also spend more than twice the money she did in the campaign.

and take into account all the things about how florida is a swing state and leans conservative on some things . the party out of the white house usually does better in non pres years and how angry teabaggers came out .

[blkmusclmachine]

45. When the vote "counters" are proprietary protected against snooping eyes, anything can happen!!!

[Fuddnik]

50. Sadly, I think these morans are getting ready to re-elect the asshole.

[lob1]

6. Aliens hovering over Florida in their flying saucer monitored the debate

and decided to move on in their search for intelligent life.

[mimi85]

7. Maybe they can

check out Texas and Arizona next.

[HockeyMom]

21. They abandoned one of their OWN???????

[cactusfractal]

43. Such funny. So laugh. Much win. n/t

[ChiciB1]

25. That Made Me Laugh!

I can find NO WORDS to describe him. He just NEEDS to be "beamed" up and out of Florida!

[lastlib]

59. I hope his mother-ship comes soon and takes him away.....

[BuelahWitch]

8. He's such a lightweight

he was afraid the fan would blow him over...

[Snarkoleptic]

9. So will Chuck Todd use his MTP platform to provide Crist a video clip saying

Rick Scott "disqualified himself" by virtue of his odd behavior and comments?

He did, after all, feed Mitch McConnell a clip stating Alison Lundergan Grimes "disqualified herself".
IOKYAR

[ryan_cats]

10. Palin already set the bar high in Colorado

Palin already set the bar high in Colorado with that rambling benzo addled speech she gave. I don't know if the wingers didn't see it or are ignoring it but when I saw it, I was surprised in that the description was better than her performance. Truly scary. I wonder if faux said anything about it?

[Segami]

11. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding......

...Miss Teen USA South Carolina 2007,......Rick Scott wants to take away your title...

[Plucketeer]

19. YUP!

This poor thing is what first came to mind on hearing Scott's looney toons explanation. Fact is, this gal probably had more content to her answer!

[Feral Child]

36. OK, that was just painful.

She might be included on some senile old bastards GOP ticket some day.

Can she shoot?

[Rocky888]

12. Rick Scott voters

I was born and live in southwest florida area that is predominant right wing. Not one of my right wing acquaintances will admit to voting for this crook the first time. In fact, my husband and I have not found one person that will admit to it. And yet, they did, we're sure. Because these idiots would rather starve and be homeless by voting for a man that is going to steal their pensions and public land for oil frackers than vote For a democrat.

[marew]

13. I live in the Tampa Bay area.

My friends and I also could find NO ONE who admitted voting for this creep last time. Weird!

[Rhinodawg]

16. Florida used to be such a cool state.

Who voted for this dipshit the first time ?

[Rex]

24. Are we sure people did vote for this criminal?

Wouldn't be the first time Florida had the RWing steal an election from the public.

[ChiciB1]

32. I Moved Here When Most Of The Governors Were Democrats!

Even though I WAS young when I moved here, that was many years ago and Reuben Askew was Governor then. That just dated me, but my husband is a native of Tampa. We were both Army brats who lived in TX so after I graduated he wanted to move back.

HOW things have changed! We left TX just as it was turning Red, just can't seem to dodge the ball!

[George II]

40. When I was growing up in NYC, Robert Wagner Jr. won three terms as Mayor, yet....

....no one ever admitted they voted for him and just about anyone you spoke to disliked him.

Funny how that stuff happens?

[ChiciB1]

30. I Think You Must Live Very Close To ME!

South of Tampa isn't a good place for a Democrat to win an election. I too have lived here for many, many years and don't think we've ever had a Democrat who got elected to Congress. Still, I make no bones about who and what I stand for and I also have (R) friends. They just avoid the subject!

[Callmecrazy]

48. I know exactly where you live...

My folks run a resort on the north end of Casey Key just past the Fish Hut on Blackburn Point road. My cousins live in Osprey and Gramma lives in Venice. My Aunt used to own the big marina by the Albee road bridge. I stopped to visit with Beggar the dolphin many times. I love the drum circle on Nokomis Beach. In fact, I'm heading over there tomorrow from here in Fort Lauderdale.

[ChiciB1]

60. Yes You Do. Drum Circle Is Right Up The Road...

It's a nice neighborhood, nice neighbors who have lived here a long time too. This side of 41 is quiet and laid back with easy access to the beach and close enough to I-75 to avoid a lot of traffic during season. You know the area so obviously understand what I'm talking about. Many of our friends from out of state who want 2nd homes find this place a very good option. Of course Casey Key is pretty pricey, not a place that's affordable for people who don't have a few $$$. We aren't one of them.

We think it's one of the better places to live in Florida, at least for us. Politically more R's than D's, and I do have to take my yard signs in at night! The places you mentioned are very familiar to me.

[ChiciB1]

61. Forgot To Mention, Your Website Describes The

place perfectly and very true! I'm sure you get very few complaints, it looks just like your pictures.

[RiffRandell]

14. Jesus, what a complete idiot!

[Rhinodawg]

15. Is Florida THAT stupid to vote for this guy ??

That state confuses me.

[bigdarryl]

18. Yeah they are unfortunately

[lpbk2713]

37. Florida Repubs consistently vote along party lines.

Regardless of the issues and regardless of whether
it may be against their own personal interests.

You just can't fix stupid.

[George II]

41. They elected Katherine Harris as SOS and then two terms to Congress!

[link:|

[Rhinodawg]

42. EEEEEEEEK.....MY EYES !!!!!

pos dirtball.

[ChiciB1]

62. She Represented My District!

Just couldn't get away from her after 2000!

[George II]

63. I would have moved.

[ChiciB1]

65. Well, I've Lived Here For A VERY Long Time...

both of my kids live very close and "we are a tight family." Not easy to move!

[Raster]

67. Ick! Cruella de Harris...that is one ugly-assed human.

[Monk06]

17. How can you be waiting for someone who shows up on stage before you? Words have rules.

[Major Hogwash]

20. Colonel Klink's monicle fell out when he heard this nonsense!

And then he said, "Disssssqualified!!

[valerief]

22. This is what the drug POWER can do to your brain. Scramble it like eggs. nt

[trueblue2007]

23. YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL .... HE IS LYING

[Rex]

26. Yeah his answer was word salad deluxe.

Scott cannot tell the truth, even if his life depends on it.

[freshwest]

27. The Idiocracy rolls on.

[Tweedy]

28. What?

His explanation makes zero sense. Anybody else get it?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

57. Someone ordered a word salad.

[progressoid]

29. derp de derp de derp.

[rocktivity]

31. Nice save!

rocktivity

[Ccarmona]

33. Here's a News Flash

Criminals lie!

[JCMach1]

34. My take on Gov. Scott and the fan

[AnnieK401]

70. Good one!

[Faux pas]

35. Since the rethugs care so much about how female

candidates look, I wouldn't vote for him just for the crazy look in his eyes, let alone the crazy crap that comes from his pie hole.

[frogmarch]

38. Sheesh.

[rizlaplus]

39. Grease me up Scotty, I've a ...

.. heavy date with a fan.

[spanone]

44. scott is a medicare fraud criminal.

[czarjak]

47. Whew...

Thanks for clearing that up, Rickey.

[EEO]

49. What a shit liar.

[surrealAmerican]

51. Is he drugged?

... because I'm have a hard time coming up with an explanation for his explanation.

[JI7]

53. if this asshole gets elected again i blame only those who voted for him

there are times when it's no longer about campaign strategy , money or anything else.

sometimes candidates and the people who vote for them just suck.

this includes democrats also like the ones in california who voted for arnold .

[Bartlet]

54. Wow

He lies about the lies he makes, how sadly typical.

[napkinz]

55. ...

[WinstonSmith4740]

56. Huh?

I listened to this 3 times (yes, it was painful), and I still can't figure out what he was trying to say. Did he really think Crist wasn't going to show up? So it took him 7 minutes to come out? What I really found disturbing was the applause he received when he finally walked on stage.

[dgauss]

58. Well conditioned republican voters can't recognize nonsense coming from a republican politician.

[ChiciB1]

64. I Really Have To Say This And I Know It Makes

no sense, but even with how juvenile this looks... DON'T count Scott out! Not sure if anyone noticed, but the moderators last night seemed pretty much Pro-Scott! I just hope this moves the dial for the Independents here because Repukes WILL vote for him! They may not tell you, but Democrats REALLY need to turn out BIG TIME!

They still have another debate and "redemption" is what Scott's advisors will be honing in on like a laser! Pun intended! I've already heard his "supporters" bashing Crist even though it's well known about the "fan" issue. I think the Washington Post showed proof that Crist stipulated a fan and it seems it was agreed to, but listening to local coverage today they are attacking Crist regardless!

It is what it is. But then I do live in a very Red district and these comments aren't anything new. They seem to find a way to "have his back" no matter what! Saying Crist was just as much at fault for demanding his fan!

[blackspade]

66. Sounds like a petulant child....

[napkinz]

68. ...

[Helen Borg]

69. Palinesque!

[tblue37]

71. Could you summarize for us deafies? nt

[DefenseLawyer]

72. With all due respect to those with mental illness

Rick Scott looks like a crazy person.
