In the discussion thread: Scott Still Won't Implement Obamacare [View all]

Fri Nov 9, 2012, 06:10 PM

43. Rick Scott is a predator, a crook, and an authoritarian, and LOVES to wield power...

He thinks (and rightly so) that most people don't know that the federal govt. will take over and design Florida's Obamacare plan, if he refuses to do it, and at least for the moment, the authoritarian-worshippers in this state LOVE his attitude. He's trying to terrify liberals, and make right wingnuts proud. With regard to Obamacare, that won't last long though.
