Rick Scott's biggest failure as governor has a name: Steve MacNamara.

An at-times ethically challenged Tallahassee insider, MacNamara was hired by the neophyte governor as his chief of staff to avoid the very type of major embarrassment Scott suffered last week.

How come the ethics commission isn't lopking into all of this illegal activity? Aren't they the watchdogs for the citizens of the state of Florida? Apparently, they are asleep at the wheel or drinking the kool-aid over there in Tallahassee. Question: How many ethics charges against all of those people working for Rick Scott have to be brought up before he cleans house? What is he afraid of, doing his job?

Well, let's not give Steve MacNamara all of the credit. If Scott can't do the job (which he has proven woefully inadequate), let him step down and stop blaming his mistakes on his underlings.

How easy is it to pander and win the Cuban vote in SoFL? Just say..."I hate Castro" and BINGO they are yours....Scott knows this - to bad the Dems are so slow on the take up to use this con - No pun intended on these rabid anti-Castro Cubans suckers.

Hopefully Floridians will be a little more astute the next time they go to the polls. And the time after that too.

That is what I keep hoping but it seems Floridians do not care enough to get involved and educate themselves about the issues. Big money rules here in Florida and the GOP has their hand in everything. Miss the days when Bob Graham was gov.

Everything this clown does is a failure. He even got caught for defrauding Medicare and had to pay back millions to the government. Almost all of his laws enacted get thrown out of court for being unconstitutional. I can't believe he's talking about running for reelection in 2014.

HIs company had to pay back the millions after he left with his millions.

Just imagine if Raw Money gets elected. He'll be trying to sell off the assets of any state with debt.

Accordingly, it is known to be illegal, but I'll sign it anyhow. Oh Rick - you are a prime example of the Peter principle. Sadly, Floridian's don't have an option for the next 2 years, which reminds me of how the Chicago Boys in Chile / Pinochet dictatorship ruled and by re-writing a "constitution" in order to assure that Chile's way forward for the actual citizen's would be and continues to be very difficult.
