The Start of Something REALLY Big: A List of F#@&ups Committed by the plutocratic "Fraudster King" gangocracy ruling Florida from Tallahassle...
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION. Since we are unable to keep up with the egregious Teapublican gangocracy that is expelling lunatic legislation like a heard of elephants expelling mountains of dung, and since they are realizing that they are making a mistake and have begun flip-flopping like a beach full of dying fish, we have concluded that attempting to document this massive moving target is impossible. When the legislative session is over, and they stop flip-flopping, we will then attempt to summarize the most citizen-offensive legislation that these gluttonous elephants excrete...
NOTE: we have begun the process of indexing the list, pardon our dust" until we manage to finish that up...
I N D E X to List (each index entry is a clickable link) 1. Promised 700,000 new jobs, but has trashed tens of thousands of jobs... (there are about 50 more listed below the above links, we just have not had time to set up the links to the rest yet...) --------------- Promised 700,000 new jobs, but has only been cutting and losing tens of thousands of jobs. Mentally Rickety Ricky campaigned on the bogus promise of creating 700,000 jobs in Florida. So far, he has set up the termination of the employment of 10,000 state workers, caused countless others to become unemployed, while turning down a profitable new enterprise that would have been free (paid for by federal monies), which would have generated upwards of 30,000 jobs. How many jobs has the Rookie created. None that we have been able to find, and unlikely to find any in the future. Except of course jobs for his buddies that he appointed to his personal gov office staff and workers, at 25% higher salary than prior appointees...
Billions in tax breaks to corporations and the well to do. Risky Ricky first gave away billions in tax breaks to corporations and the well to do, supposedly to attract new business to the state, when the state already has the lowest business tax rates, the least regulations, and the friendliest business environment in the nation. So, keep in mind that he let billions escape from the state budget for existing businesses. Now, this giveaway to his corporatocracy buddies resulted in a 3.75 billion dollar shortfall in the state budget. How to compensate? Reduction Ramming Ricky slashes tens of thousands of state workers jobs, cut pensions, cut benefits, raise fees, ransacking the underclasses, the poor, the impoverished, the handicapped, the diseased, the homeless, anyone and everyone this is not one of his wealthy buddies get thrown under the bus. And oh, no tax breaks for the aforementioned un-wealthy citizens, they still have to pay in, only the wealthy and corporations get the financial breaks. Still, almost 4 billion short... Squashing control of shameless narcotics trafficking pill mills. Florida's Drug Czar clashed with Tricky Ricky over Retched Ricky's scrapping of the prescription drug monitoring plan ("pill mill database") which Repugnant Ricky trashed, outraging lawmakers, police, doctors, and of course families which are adversely effected by the doling out of narcotics like candy, nationwide. Revolting Rookie Ricky smacked down a whole bunch of rules that would regulate and monitor the activity of narcotics trafficking strip mall pill mills. First Racketeer Ricky announced a freeze on new rules that would help the state crack down on the sordid fly-by-night clinics, then Repressive Ricky disbanded the Office of Drug Control, and finally Ricky the Reaper came out in opposition to a new publicly-funded prescription monitoring system that would prevent doctor shopping. What a guy huh; thousands becoming addicted slaves to narcotics and overdosing on drugs handed out like candy to anyone with the money. That's just the cost of doing "business". By the way, Reprehensible Ricky just happens to own (now thru his wife-amista) a string of med clinics that dole out narcotics, see next point... Regarding the aforementioned point on Revolting Ricky blocking the pill mill narcotics trafficking crackdown, realize that Tricky Ricky refuses to answer questions about his -- or now his wife's -- ownership of the Solantic chain of discount med clinics that dispenses cheap medications and that little ole Ruthless Ricky conflict of interest. And "now you know the rest of the story".
Abolishing the Office of Drug Control to protect his shameless narcotic trafficking pill mills.. Yes, Rookie Ricky had the shameless audacity to abolish the Office of Drug Control: a four-person advisory board with a mission of "Prevention, Treatment, and Law Enforcement," and it had been at the front lines of crafting the long-delayed pill-mill regulations which were finally ready to go with the completed pill mill database monitoring system. Hey, maybe Scrotum-Head Scotty can create those promised 700,000 jobs just in his pill mill industry. Build hundreds of them up all the way across the state line, as well as putting a bunch of them in airports, bus terminals, train stations, sea ports, and at Florida Welcome Centers, make it easier for drug dealers all over the country and around the world to "Visit Florida" and stock up on a their supply of narcotics to peddle back home... Reverse-Robin-Hood Ricky steals from poor to give to the rich, example 1 of too many... Repulsive Ricky takes care of those closest to him. He is increasing his executive office’s salary budget by over $300 million dollars per year. But the hell with all those underclasses, the middle class, the unemployed, the NEWLY laid off, the poor, the needy, the hungry, the impoverished, the homeless. Yeh, cut the budget benefits for all them so I can pay my buddies and sexy secretaries more money than they need so that they can hoard it in unregulated, untaxed offshore banks... Heck, the middle class and those poor people would all just spend what money they get, and hey, that would stimulate the economy and create jobs. Can't have that... Robber-Barron Ricky has turned Florida into a "third world" tax haven for his slimy corporation buddies and Ratfink Ricky's filthy rich cohorts with cushy tax break deals for millionaires and billionaires and transnational corporatocracies...
Under Fraudster Rookie Ricky, a whole different type of clinic -- which provides essential medical services to some of Florida's poorest individuals -- faces eradication by the goobernator. Can't be wasting precious money on poor people when Ripper Ricky can be funneling it into the pockets of corporatocracy and the filthy rich to be hoarded in unregulated, untaxed offshore banks.
Even the New York Times got in on criticizing Potty Scotty's rejection of the high speed rail bullet train, which effectively junked years of effort and legislative work by the state to win the rail windfall. Hells bells, everybody criticized Icky Ricky, even his Repooplicant compadrionadoes, just like on the pill mill database buffoonery. Stupid, stupid, stupid, in every respect. Lost revenue, lost tourism, lost jobs, lost convenience. Worse than stupid, moronic...
Realize that the EPA wants to enact important regulations to clean up air pollution. Nationally, their proposed mercury and air toxics standards are projected to save as many as 17,000 American lives every year by 2015. These standards also would prevent up to 120,000 cases of childhood asthma. There would also be 11,000 fewer cases of acute bronchitis among children every year. Again, this is nationally. Now, consider that Rugrat Ricky and his pro-industry, pro-big-biz, teabagger cronies initially say they want to postpone implementing any EPA actions in Florida, but there are also distinct rumblings in the grapevine that clearly indicate that the scumbag, sleazeball, depopulating Ragbrained Rickyettes are going to push for deregulation of existing controls on industry pollution in the state (and have already done so by nullifying local county and city pollution regulations, see next point). So, for the Florida greedy goobernator and his filthy rich asshole buddies, it is more important to attract more new industries to the state that will add even more pollution to the air we all must breathe, than it is to save lives and prevent health miseries of the citizens of Florida. What a bunch of assholes...
The goober guv and his "destroy Florida" legisgator buddies have vomited up state legislation to override any local city and county laws that attempt to control flooding Florida waterways with excessive dumping of fertilizer that leads to algae blooms and excess plant life infesting the waters which kills off water life. Below find a link to an article that indicates that this killing of local regulations is a blatantly hypocritical violation of supposed Repuplicant "principles" [sic], in that this "is big government at it's worst", "ramming the power of central government down everybody's throat". The significant point to remember about this is that the fertilizer/phosphate industries just happen to be a "special interest", lobbyist, corporate contributor to the Repooplicant party of Florida. Jerks...
Florida's unconscionable teaboner controlled state legislature are not stopping at nullifying county and city laws enacted to combat pollution of Florida waters from phosphate and nitrogen runoff that causes algae growth and weed overinfestation, killing aquatic life. Now, the same imperious scumbaggers have taken this draconian state level nullifying measure further and are now pushing new legislation to override other local laws which has even more severely adverse consequences on the Florida citizenry, but it's good for "big business" profits. So just how much worse did these mindless unconscionable hypocrites get? Well, they are caving into big business lobbyist bribes to override local laws that were created to protect workers from wage theft by employers. You know, where businesses can pay workers less than minimum wage, wrongly withhold illicit deductions from workers pay, deny pay for overtime, like that. See next point for their next nullifying local laws boondogle.
Yet another nullifying local laws boondogle. Again caving into big business lobbyist bribes, the greedy mindless legisgator assholes are overriding local laws enacted to protect you from bad food served at restaurants. You know, like allowing trans-fats, high calorie, high sugar, high salt, excitoxins and all that other junk that is unhealthy for you. So, now these low life creeps have appointed themselves as the reverse-food-police to the disadvantage of your health. Hey, the world is overpopulated anyway, and we need to send more people into the needy mainstream sick care system to make our buddie doctors and big pharma scoundrels even richer so that they can give us more money. Lousy poisoning scumbaggers...
This point attempts to make a very long story short regarding WHY Railroading Ricky rejected the free, convenient, money making, tourism drawing, congestion easing, pollution lessening, jobs producing high speed rail system. The Scotticator appointed Robert Poole as his transportation adviser, sounding the death knell for any type of non-highway based mass-transit public transportation projects in Florida. You see, Poole is the director of transportation policy at the Reason [sic] Foundation, which just happens to be a right-wing lobbyist group of road-based transportation industrial interests, including petroleum, asphalt and rubber tire manufacturers. The Reason [sic] Foundation receives substantial funding by the ultraconservative billionaire Koch brothers, while one of the Kocher kooks serves as a Reason [sic] Foundation trustee. Now "the rest of the story" is very clear, isn't it. Despicable asshole...
Rampaging Ricky's "war on public schools and teachers stinks like a dead skunk putrifying in the middle of a hot asphalt road -- and it will likely backfire on him in a big way. [Reasonless Ricky] wants to cut teachers' salaries by 5 percent while at the same time putting more tax dollars into private schools". You know, "privatization"... You know, like Blackwater in the military, Halliburton in Iraq, and so on to corrupt ad nauseum...
If Reaming Ricky gets his way, TWENTY THOUSAND public school teachers will be laid off in the state. Just what the educationally-impaired students of Florida need. But, hey, we gotta make cuts like this in the budget to make up for the tax breaks to greedy corporations and the filthy rich that just hoard any extra wealth in unregulated, untaxed offshore banking havens doing nothing to stimulate the economy, while the now unemployed teachers won't have any money to spend to stimulate the economy. How incredibly stoopid...
Retardo Rookie Ricky wants to hand out vouchers as credits to private schools, which will only benefit the rich that can afford to use them. so fewer tax dollars go to public schools. Those poor kids in public schools are just going to end up working at McD's anyway, doing pill mill drugs, and flooding the population with more poor babies, so what do they need an education for...
Railroading Ricky is letting insurers set their own prices for sinkhole coverage, raising rates on property owners. Let's see, insurance companies; oh yeh those big time campaign contributors of Rookie Ricky. And property owners, those people that he gave tax breaks to...
Ravenous Ricky cut the state education budget to the tune of $700 per student. Kids dunt needs no edgykation nohows, speshly in a state wit reely bad gradjeation rates...
Retched Ricky proposes to eliminate 1,849 positions in the state child welfare agency, the DCF. This agency is already known to be understaffed, underpaid, overworked, and in a vermin filled third world state like Florida, the staff is completely overwhelmed with a much to heavy caseload of far too many reported problems and abuses. Advocates for children and families argue that Florida already ranks among the bottom ten states in assistance to kids who are in need or in danger. A child advocate stated that hard economic times such as these are the worst time for help to children to be curtailed. Yet, while the Slashing Scotticator proposes massive cuts to the DCF staff as an austerity measure, he has proposed no such austerity for his own office, as he wants to increase the budget of the his office by $343 million, an increase of 116 percent, adding 91 positions to his personal staff. Yeh, let's cut the money going to protect children, cutting more jobs in the process, so we can increase my staff and pay my buddies that money instead. Damned worthless kids anyway, just turn em out onto the streets and let them fend for themselves like all those kids in third world countries. Let's just make Florida a third world state with a bloated ruling plutocracy at the top, damn the poor people. Certifiably nightmarish, sinisterly evil, pure utter madness... These scumbag teabaggers are on drugs, bad drugs.
Ransacking Rookie Ricky gave tax breaks to the corporatocracy and the well to do. Nothing for the middle class or needy of course, and rather, continues to rob them of what little they have while eliminating programs that would benefit them in any way...
Ruthless Rampaging Ricky is cutting funding to beach "re-nourishment" projects along 800 miles of eroded -- nearly beachless -- shoreline in Florida. Beach businesses that rely on healthy beaches to attract tourists say the timing couldn't be worse. Florida also stands to lose millions in matching federal dollars that pour in to match state funds. Who the hell needs beaches in a state that depends on tourism for well over SIXTY BILLION dollars a year. Heck, those damned tourists can go somewhere else and we have to give away tax breaks to the filthy rich and greedy corporations, so just let those needless beach business go out of business. Oh, wait, "business"; hmmm, what did we say about that in the campaign. Oh well, the campaign is over, the electorate can go to hell and file bankruptcy, that's good for business too, of attorneys anyway...
Rabidly Rancorous Ricky wants to eradicate prisons for juvenile criminals. Just turn em loose on the streets, how much more trouble can they get into anyways. And on the street they can always deal those narcotics from Potty-head Scotty's pill mill outlets.
Mindless Raider Ricky is rapaciously ransacking any and all environmental regulations he can eradicate, allowing his big biz cronies to pollute the air and water and soil and food of Floridians. Hey, it's all going to be under water in a decade or two anyways...
Florida Fraudster-in-Chief Reasonless Ricky Scotticater named his economic advisers, and it was not a pretty list. The biggest name on the list is Arthur Laffer, Ronald Reagan's trickle-down voodoo economist whose "Laffer Curve" was aptly named. It was certainly laughable. Yeh, "trickle down" turned out to be more like "tinkle down". Tinkle as in pee. Down as in on the peons, because giving more money to the already wealthy just results in their hoarding it in their unregulated offshore banks. Conversely, directing money to the financially desperate results in their immediately spending it, stimulating the economy. Give it to the rich and corporatocracy, and they just stuff it away. Oh, they might buy a new yacht, but just who does that trickle down to; rich yacht builder, that stuff their money in offshore banks of course...
Retrogressive Ricky intends to pole-axe the state run and state funded property disaster insurance plan to reduce benefits, while raising rates by 25%; which just happens to offset the property tax reduction for homeowners. Ricky the Rube actually wants to eradicate the state insurance entity, which was put in place after the triple bogie hurricanes of 2005, to replace the regular insurers that dropped coverage and left the bowling alley for hurricanes state, leaving property owners with no insurance, which is against the law. What the hay, even with the insolvent state insurance system, the state will go completely bankrupt when the next hurricane disaster hits anyway...
Radical Recalcitrant Ricky campaigned against the hiring of state lobbyists, then hired state lobbyists. The difference, he explained, was that these were his lobbyists. What? Oh, hell, he doesn't have to make any sense, and we wonder if he actually could with his little beady eyed pea-brained scrotum-like head.
Reeking Ricky also campaigned on the basis that he supported collective bargaining. Reprehensible Ricky now says he'd like collective bargaining removed from Constitution... Ah, the basic trait of the unethical crooked cheating scumbag -- whose main qualification to be governor was that he was CEO of an HMO found guilty of the worst case of Medicare fraud in U.S. history -- to lie like a rug and then turn around and stab you in the back. "Would you like some poison tea in your party"?
Rick the Dick also blabbered about tackling political gerrymandering, whereby elected politicians re-draw their districts for their own political advantage to increase chances of getting re-elected. Florida voters overwhelmingly voted that they want to stop political gerrymandering by voting for Amendments 5 and 6, known as the "Fair Districts" Amendments. But in the middle of the night on November 3rd -- before the last votes were even counted -– two members of the Florida Congress went to court to try to get the amendments thrown out. Then, Speaker Dean Cannon and the Florida House of Representatives decided to use YOUR taxpayer dollars to join in that suit. And scrotumhead Scott joined the fray by delaying the implementation of the Fair Districts amendments. As required by federal law, former Governor Crist submitted the amendments to the U.S. Department of Justice for approval. Within two days of taking office, Governor Scott withdrew that request. Geez, what took him so long...
Rip-up-regulations Ricky has engineered a sweeping plan to eradicate state government oversight of more than two dozen industries and professions, "from telemarketers and travel agents to home inspectors and auto mechanics". This Reckless Ricky dereg is reported to make even the state's big businesses nervous. Yep, this plan immediately drew fire from the same industries that the Ricky-baggers are supposedly attempting to set free for any of that pesky ole watchdogging crapola, urging lawmakers to retain existing regulations. WHAT, just because he wants to eliminate thingys like the regulation of home inspectors? Silly people, you just can't make some big business buffoons happy...
While eliminating the profitable, job producing high speed rail project that everybody else in the country -- as well as almost everybody in the state wanted to implement here -- is now fighting over, wrong-headed Scrotty Rickapoo wants to spend almost $100 million to dig big holes in the port of Miami. You are saying "WHAT"? Yep, the Robber Baron goobernator has had a pill mill drug induced vision that this would create jobs; a delusion that experts counter will NOT boost employment. Of several reasons that prove this out, we note the factoid that ships will not dock in Miami because it is cheaper to instead proceed up the coast to other ports that have better access to the southeast, and don't have the horrendous gridlock of downtown Miami traffic, which has narrow streets and is not accommodating at all to truck traffic; to this we add that their is no rail to ship the product out of the port either. Ignoring the facts that these other northern ports already have deep enough channels to accommodate the ships, with adequate uncluttered roads and rail, and that digging up the waters off Miami to bring in gargantuan ugly packet container ships into the sparkling clean cruise line port of Miami is certifiable insanity. But then, that is what Ravaging Ricky is all about, plain freaking wacko stupid...
Rummie Recallable Ricky is the tea party poster boy. As ugly and emaciated as the scarecrow is, he could also be a poster boy for some old guy that lobotomized on too many pharmaceutical drugs, as well as someone that has gone through chemo and radiation treatments far too many times...
Some Florida lawmakers are currently fighting to get back the billions of federal high speed rail money that Renegade Rookie Ricky Rumnuts rejected.
Ruinous Ricky is pushing lawmakers to dump three million medicaid patients into "managed care" plans on the chance that it might save some of his precious taxpayer money to give to corporations, in spite of the fact that a few counties in Florida have tried this for the last five years, with everyone expressing hatred for the switch, while financial overseers admit that these experiments have not actually saved anyone any money.
Rookie Ricky Ripoff as candidate promised voters "the unvarnished truth". But Rookie Ricky the witness offered little but murky testimony. In a series of sworn depositions he gave in lawsuits against his former company, Rookie Ricky was the polar opposite of the phony straight-talking candidate in television ads. Under oath, Rookie Ricky displayed a poor memory and a penchant for parsing words. He answered lawyer's questions with questions, while smirking or shrugging his shoulders, his beady darting eyes meandering aimlessly around on his chemo-looking bald head...
Rife Ricky lie: "The stimulus has not created one private sector job." Really? Not one? Yeh, and the high speed rail wasn't supposed to turn a profit for the state either...
Rank Ricky now says he'd like collective bargaining removed from state constitution. Days after Ridiculous Ricky told a Tallahassee radio station that he was supportive of collective bargaining, he later flip flops that he "wishes" it weren't allowed in Florida. So far, his "wishes" have become the commands of his puppet legisgators...
Relentless Ramming Ricky wants to increase charter schools to bring competition into the education system. Right wingers seem to always want to 'privatize' everything. You know, "privatization"... You know, like Blackwater in the military, Halliburton in Iraq, and so on to corrupt ad nauseum...
Florida has had in place a highly popular pre-paid college tuition plan, whereby families can lock in present day tuition cost for the future college education for their children. What? That might cost Ragassed Ricky and rich corporate co-whorets money that they want for themselves. No more. The program is currently half a billion in the black -- like social security funds would be if politicians hadn't raided it -- with ten billion in assets. So Raiding Ricky wants to stamp out such a savings for families so that he can rake the overage into his personal offshore banks. Pathetic bastard...
Sicky Ricky also has a move to cut Pell Grants for college students by about 20%. Yep, gotta scrounge up money from edgykashion for tax cuts for polluting corporations and industry and business sose we can....well, pollute more. And, it's lonely at the top, gotta have more buggering buddies...
For the "how's-that-again"" category. The Scotticator (think fornicator) of Floridians has dreamed up yet another brilliant scheme to scarf up more of the public's money while discouraging people to find out what is going on with his kingdom. Any public records requests now have imposed new fees. Guess what. The admin for public records indicates that this will slow the process down. And of course Ricky Dicky says hey, he is all for open government, and this is not any kind of attempt to hole up information about the sordid goings on in the state...
Racketeering Ricky Boy has birthed a new retroactive law to shield automakers from injury lawsuit payouts in vehicle wrecks in which a defective vehicle component was responsible. This new Ricky Ticky law that protects the auto industry overturns a Florida Supreme Court ruling protecting Floridians. We did NOT make this up. So, since there are no vehicle manufacturing facilities based in Florida, why would anyone remove protections from Floridians and shield out state and even out of country automakers? Can we say "bribes deposited in offshore unregulated bank accounts"?
Repressively Regressively Reptillian Ricky has urged on a cohort to place a bill before the Legislature that would force teachers to challenge evolution at the expense of settled science. Disregard the factual scientific carbon dating that indicates that planet Earth is a gazillion years old and that the fossils of dinosaurish reptiles date back to millions of years ago, lets "debunk" all that scientific crapola and teach children that the earth was zapped into being only 4,000 years ago, that the dinosaurs were all killed of just three thousand years ago by the ice age that followed the big flood. Oh hell, why teach them anything, that's too expensive, so just drug them up and send them over to McDonalds and just force them to go to church to pick up their paycheck, with church donations pre-deducted of course...
Rookie Ricky's campaign contributors included a list of powerful special interest groups: health insurers, utilities, sugar, tobacco, gambling, telecommunications, lobbying firms, entertainment moguls and developers. His donors deviously got around the contribution limits by giving both individual and business donations. Florida Crystals, the sugar and agribusiness giant with interests in development, gave $200,000, then used three of its subsidiaries to contribute another $75,000. The competitor of Florida Crystals, U.S. Sugar -- which was the beneficiary of the $197 million Everglades land deal with the state -- wrote checks valued at $175,000 to the party and gave one $25,000 check to the inauguration. Rookie Ricky criticized the U.S. Sugar deal during his campaign, claiming the deal mainly benefited U.S. Sugar, not Everglades clean-up. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, the largest health insurer in the state, also donated heavily to the party with a massive $525,000 contribution. The bottom line is obvious: Rookie Ricky rules for big business, not the citizens of the state....
Ramrod Ricky and his baggering buddies are pushing a permanent, irreversible, across-the-board funding limit that would prevent the state from ever restoring these draconian cuts. And you thought sadassed Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden were sinisterly evil...
Racist Ricky restores a "Jim Crow" era rule meant to keep African-American voters out of the polling places. This was accomplished by passing a law that disenfranchised non violent ex-felons from voting. The kicker is that Ramigator Ricky knows damn good and well that the overwhelming majority of this sector is African-American... Wallah, less opposition votes for Bagger-head Ricky and his co-whorets. See, he's not really racist, just biased against those that would vote against him...
Factoid: Ragamuffin Rookie Ricky just barely beat a Democrat in a ruby-red Republican state by less than one percentage point, with less than 50% of the vote. Realize that the turnout was low because both candidates had proven to be corrupt, with Rookie Ripoff Ricky by far the worst, so nobody really cared to vote for either one of them. What a mistake that was... Factoid footnote: Rapine Rookie Ricky spent $73,000,000 of his personal fortune in his election campaign, mostly on a slew of bogus commercials where he promised things that he would later renig on... Some wise people have indicated that he did not just spend that much of his own money for the power, and that the 73 million was just an investment, which he will recoup many times over...
Scrotum-Face Scott is buddying up with slash and burn overzealous Tea Party baggers, apparently consulting with them on what all he needs to do to whack all the underclasses down into one group of impoverished miscreants, as well as recently noting close ties with the teabuggers in a Governor-Walkeresque Wisconsish manner on his new website. If the NPR-called "gun-toting, racist" teabaggers have any sense, and that remains to be determined and seems highly unlikely, they would distance themselves with the hated spectre of the maniacal wrecking ball that is Ruinous Ricky. Does anyone with a lick of sense not realize that middle-class-whackers such as Rancid Ricky will see a tsunami turnout of the angry masses of the electorate to get rid of anyone that even looks like a teabagger, that did not get recalled or eradicated from office by an enraged citizen? Are they really that pharmaceutically lobotomized that they don't get it? They cannot possibly be that incredibly stupid, their demented condition has to be due to mind-altering drugs that instill in them delusions of invincibility. As Bonehead Boehnor said so sarcastically a year or so ago, "We'll see". Next election it will be his and teabaggers asses that get kicked out into the street, where Scurrilous Scotty will already be...
Florida legislation that would allow enforcement of more severe penalties against proven corrupt lawmakers and errant public officials was killed by the Florida senate rules committee with the killing votes against it cast by majority-controlling Republicans of course. Those dissenting Florida lawbreaking lawkillers -- that don't need no damn ethics legislation for themselves -- lamely blabbered that they didn't like the idea of making more political crimes into felonies. Ya think? Let's see, why not? Because, they are unethical and corrupt and would go to jail if they got caught and didn't pay off the right people... Further, as they killed this self-incriminating legislation, they also took issue with the ban against lobbyists gifts, saying it was bad for the economy... Riiiight, their stuffing and hoarding lobbyist monies into untaxed, unregulated offshore banks is really going to help the economy -- of the offshore banking community economy that is...
Raging Ricky Dicky and his boondoglling baggers are out to kill health reform in Florida. Which, will also kill about SIXTY MILLION dollars of Florida consumers. This is complicated, but the point is that the federal HHS has indicated it will deny Rickybaggers application for a three year waiver from the "minimum medical loss ration" rule. Long story short, this results in giving away sixty million dollars in premium rebates for consumers. The Florida insurance commission now stands accused of putting insurance company profits ahead of the benefits to consumers. Let's see, nothing changes, same ole, same ole. Same old teabagger crapola of robbing from the underclasses to give money to big business corporations. Consummate jerks...
"A measure to crack down on legislative conflicts of interest was stripped without explanation from the agenda of a senate committee by the office of senate president Mike Haridopolis". This being the same bill that Hypocrite Haridopolis sponsored last year, we can only conclude that the prior "effort" was simply yet another delusional campaign year deception to cast a smokescreen mirage that Republicans might actually have an ounce of ethics. Riiiiiight... Haridopolis "was recently admonished by his rules chairman for 'inadvertently' [sic] failing to detail his finances on constitutionally mandated ethics forms". "ADMONISHED"!?!? Why not impeached? "[T]he decision [to eradicate the ethics bill] is bad for taxpayers and raises questions about Haridopolis' commitment to open government an issue he has championed for years. His office declined comment". A state grand jury has indicated that Florida "needs good ethics legislation to clean up government and save taxpayers money." Let's see: "save taxpayers money"? The same taxpayers that face a 3.5 billion budget shortfall -- due mostly to giving tax breaks to corporations and the well to do -- that is resulting in the corrupt re-poop-lick-cant scumbagger controlled legislature gutting the benefits of those not-well-to-do same taxpayers? "Given the serious fiscal limitations at all levels of government, anti-corruption efforts must stop the theft and mismanagement of vital public funds."..."This mismanagement and theft penalizes taxpayers by driving up the cost of government services." Link to Herald article with above quotes "Why did Senate President Mike Haridopolos’ office stall ethics legislation?"
Below are "high point" excerpts from a
Lauderdale Sun Sentinel article on the loose-cannon, greedy, unethical Florida legislature resurrection and resuscitation of the deservedly-dead special-interest campaign slush bribe funds for egregiously immoral and sadly shameless Florida teabagger politicians. Yes, the scumbaggers add yet another wrong to the already too long long list of heinously egregious tyrannical wrongs against freedom, democracy, and the rights of Floridians. Legislators have suppositoried SPB 72204 and HB 89 to remove the right of Floridians to view public notices in newspapers. Their lame lying excuse for depriving you of public notices is that it might save them some money. And get this. These devious, corrupt crooks are deceivingly spewing lies that they will put public notices on their own little ole government webbysites. Riiiight... I trust them to do that ethically, correctly, in a timely unbiased manner, without omitting anything that might happen to interfere with their evil schemes. Don't you?
OK, it's bad enough that the mindless Tallahassle creeps are stealing from the underclasses that spend money, to funnel that money over to the corporations and filthy rich, that do not spend money and rather hoard their wealth in their offshore unregulated untaxed offshore banks. But, now these shit-for-brains idiots have the audacity to load up their legislative cannons with "a slew of bills that would limit abortion rights in Florida"; EIGHTEEN as of this date. Realize that this barrage of repressive bills includes a challenge to "Roe v. Wade". Also realize that they of course are also doing all that they can to weaken "planned parenthood" as well as the use of contraceptives. The intended result? More people on this planet of course... Now, why in the hell would anyone in their right mind want to force more people onto this overpopulated dying planet to have to live a miserable life under increasingly worsening conditions? Simple. These blatantly sanctimonious hypocrites -- that in truth care absolutely nothing about their so-called "sanctity of life" -- simply want bigger herds of sheep and lemmings to run over the cliff onto the gory gauntlet of their financial prison, to feed more labor and monetary cannon fodder into their transnational globalist medical/military/education/industrial/financial complex. They don't really give one single solitary rat's-ass-damn-in-hell about the burgeoning beleaguered masses that are increasingly repressed, nor do they have any concern whatsoever that most will suffer horrible lives of impoverishment, hunger, malnutrition, starvation, deteriorating health, and disease on a failing planet, caused by the destructive pollution from their transnational globalist medical/military/education/industrial/financial complex. They only need more humans to contribute to the well being of their offspring, the 10% that own 90% of the wealth. Unconscionable, hypocritical sickos...
Aptly termed the "Fraudster King", Goobernator Scotty made his gazillions in the private health care industry by scamming the taxpayers through medicaid for billions of their money. When "federal accusations" of Medicare fraud arose, the board of directors booted him as CEO and paid out $1.7 billion in fines to "settle" with the feds. An interim note here is that he still has connections and monied friends, also known as contributors, aka "bribers", in that private health care sector. And a further side note is that he owns -- or did own if he has moved control to his wife now, a question that he refuses to answer -- a chain of cheap private health care clinics, that he no doubt bought with the taxpayer money he stole. His cheap clinics just happen to dispense cheap "pill mill "drugs, and likely still rips off the taxpayers through medicaid fraud, but that is a whole 'nother digression... To the point, now the beady-eyed, scrotumheaded goobernator has created his own little ole commission to "examine" the competitors of his private conglomerate sector ilk, the government managed hospitals of Florida. This imperious executive order that he shoved down your throat creates the so-called "Commission on Review of Taxpayer Funded Hospital Districts". Note that before his swearing-in as governor, his health care "transition" team blabbered a report which vomited a stinging assessment of the publicly funded health care facilities, complaining that the hospitals they support largely "muscle out" his little ole corrupt private fraud-filled facilities. In announcing the commission’s formation, the goobernut said that it's (HIS) goals will include reviewing how doctors are paid at the public hospitals, whether they serve as broad a population as they should, and whether taxpayers are getting their money’s worth. No time frame for the panel to complete its work was set, but no doubt it will rule until it accomplishes the goobertater goal of squashing public facilities in favor of his private facilities... Much public and media speculation exists on how this might adversely affect health care to the disadvantage of the patient. You know, "privatization", like the privatization-hiring of exorbitantly overpaid mercenaries in Iraq, the controversial and corrupt "Blackwater" of Cheney's Halliburton ilk. Florida, bend over and kiss your ass goodbye...
Reminder. As difficult as it may be to comprehend, the above list is not complete even as of this exact point in time, and we did not include the endless profusion of blatantly flagrant lies that Ridiculous Ricky projectile-vomited during his $73 million dollar campaign.
The following noted recall measures died in the Florida congressional "Government Operations Subcommittee" (10 Teapublicans and 5 Demonrats). It is now up to the citizens of Florida to deliver a petition putting a recall measure on the 2012 ballot. Will someone please initiate that process, I just do not have the time right now.
If enough people hound the legislators to pass House Joint Resolution 785 and House Bill 787 to enact the capability of Florida voters to "recall" this boneheaded nutcase to terminate his mad slash and burn destruction of the underclasses to tranfer what little "wealth" they had to his filthy rich asshole buddies, he will then no longer be able to continue to generate more wrongs to add to this list and we can all get back to undoing his mindless moronicity plunderings. Contact the Florida legislators (at this link) and strongly "encourage" them to allow Floridians to impeach this evil monster out of office. If you don't know who your rep is, this is a link to a finder mechanism to contact your Florida legislators. While you are at it, flip off the guv-tator with an email.
LASTLY, THE NEXT TIME YOU PREPARE TO VOTE, REMEMBER THIS. REMEMBER THE UNCONSCIONABLE SLASH AND BURN WAYS OF THE TEA PARTY. WE AGREE WITH THEIR CONTENTION REGARDING THE BLOATED BUREAUCRACY OF GOVERNMENT (not real fond of Democrats either), BUT THEY ACTUALLY GO AFTER THE UNDERCLASSES IN THEIR HACKING AWAY AT THE BUDGET, WHILE FUNNELING MONEY INTO THE CORPORATIONS AND THE ALREADY WEALTHY. THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG AND WILL LEAD TO THE DEMISE, DOWNFALL, IMPLOSION OF AMERICA. MADNESS...MADNESS...MADNESS...
If we have missed some important wrongs, send us an email at jeb@lifesacoast.com or leave a comment at the bottom of this webpage. -------------------------

THE BURGEONING LIST BELOW, OF EVILLY EGREGIOUS WRONGS CAST UPON THE CITIZENS OF FLORIDA BY IT'S ILL-ELECTED GOVERNOR AND HIS MINDLESS TEABAGGER CRONIES, IS ALREADY HORRENDOUSLY LONG -- OVER 50 WRONGS -- AFTER ONLY TWO MONTHS OF HIS MINDLESSLY RAPACIOUS PILLAGING OF 90% OF THE CITIZENS OF FLORIDA.
THIS LIST OF WRONGS IS ALREADY MUCH TOO LONG TO TAKE THE TIME TO PROVIDE LINKS WITH EACH BULLET POINTED ITEM BELOW. WE ASSURE YOU THAT EVERYTHING ON THE LIST IS WELL DOCUMENTED ELSEWHERE, IN A NUMBER OF PLACES TO AD NAUSEUM, AND IF YOU ARE JUSTIFIABLY AMAZED AT THE SCOPE AND HAVE ANY DOUBTS WHATSOEVER TO ANY ITEM ON THE LIST, JUST "GOOGLE IT" USING SOME OF THE MAIN KEYWORDS OF ANY ITEM WHICH MIGHT SEEM TO BE SO OUTRAGEOUS THAT IT MIGHT MAKE YOU WONDER IF IT IS ACTUALLY, ALL OF IT, TRUE.
THIS UNCONSCIONABLE MENTAL DEVIATE GOVERNOR IS NOW BLASPHEMED EVEN BY HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS, RIDICULED AS "TRICKY ROOKIE RICKY", AND IS OVERSTEPPING SANE BOUNDARIES, PILLAGING THE UNDERCLASSES, THE POOR, THE ELDERLY, THE IMPOVERISHED, THE UNEMPLOYED, THE NEEDY, WHILE GIVING BILLIONS IN FINANCIAL BREAKS TO HIS CORPORATOCRACY BUDDIES AND HIS FILTHY RICH CRONIES
ALL THIS WHILE PLUNGING TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE INTO UNEMPLOYMENT, WHILE EVEN TURNING DOWN BILLIONS IN FEDERAL MONEY THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THOUSANDS OF JOBS, AIDED TOURISM, CREATED A SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE STATE, WHILE ESTABLISHING FLORIDA AS THE FRONT RUNNER IN HIGH SPEED RAIL IN AMERICA. INSTEAD, OTHER STATES ARE NOW FIGHTING OVER THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT WILL HELP THEIR STATES FINANCIALLY.
AND THE TRAVESTIES MENTIONED IN THIS LEAD-IN RANT IS JUST A SPECK ON THE TIP OF THE GROWING ICEBERG OF WRONGS THAT THIS SELF-APPOINTED EMPEROR HAS ALREADY COMMITTED IN ONLY HIS FIRST TWO MONTHS.
THE FOLLOWING LIST IS BEING DEVELOPED DUE TO A SUGGESTION, AS A DEFENSIVE MEASURE DOCUMENTING THE MANY MINDLESS INJUSTICES RAINED DOWN UPON THE CITIZENS OF FLORIDA, TO JUSTIFY OUR IRREVERENT MUCKRACKING POLEMICIST CAMPAIGN TO GET THIS UNCONSCIONABLE CREEP OUT OFF OF HIS THRONE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ALREADY A LONG LIST, REALIZE THAT THIS IS ONLY THE INITIAL DRAFT AND THAT WE WILL DEVOTE SOME TIME DAILY TO GATHER IN ALL OF THE MANY MORE WRONGS THAT THIS UNSCRUPULOUSLY INSENSITIVE MORON HAS ALREADY COMMITTED UPON THE ELECTORATE THAT FELL FOR HIS MOUNTAIN OF DECEPTIVE LIES.
AS YOU GO THROUGH THE FOLLOWING BULLET POINT LIST, BEAR IN MIND THAT IT IS NOT YET COMPLETE AND UP TO DATE. WE HAD TO "GO TO PRESS" WITH THIS IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT THERE AND TO GET SOMETHING ROLLING ON THE CAMPAIGN TO FIRE THIS DIMWITTED NITWIT (explained at the bottom of the list).
-"The legislature voted to revive [legislation] that will let [legislators] dig deep into the pockets of industry groups and lobbyists to spend those dollars more directly..."
-"The bill was vetoed by former Governor Charlie Crist, who said previous versions of the war chests – which were outlawed amid scandal in 1989 -- had allowed "legislative leaders to solicit and accept campaign contributions during the legislative session from lobbyists and interest groups outside the public view."
-"Republicans said the change would shine more light on the huge sums that legislative leaders now raise through the state parties. Democrats argued it would encourage pay-to-play deals with interest groups."
-"More than one-third of the Legislature's 160 members already have set up individual committees that can accept virtually unlimited amounts of money from lobbyists, corporations and industry groups."
-"House and Senate leaders are already raising millions of dollars a year for legislative races that gets funneled through party coffers to get around the limits. By allowing the leaders to raise the money in their own names, proponents argued, the process would be more transparent." I think they meant hidden, or invisible, like under the table, unaccountable, outright bribes that need no explanation...
-"The bill was spurred last year by the scandal surrounding now-indicted Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, who faces charges of money laundering, fraud and theft."
-"We got rid of leadership funds because nobody knew where the money was coming from and nobody knew where it went."
But now, those teabaggers you voted into office now have grabbed it all back, the hidden behind the back under the table means for lobbyists, corporations, special interests, industry groups, and transnational globalists to pump unlimited, unseen hoards of bribe money into politician's offshore accounts to get them to do their dirty work and mess up your lives however they see fit... Way to go Florida voters, you asked for it you got it, even worse corruption which is now going to mess you up even worse than before. But hey, who cares, just go to your unregulated pill mills and gobble up more narcotics so you forget it by next election so they can keep having their way with you, til you die...
