"Winds of a recall swirling around Florida’s new governor"

[impik]

TALLAHASSEE --
Just a month and a half on the job, and already the winds of a recall are swirling around Gov. Rick Scott.

The governor has made some enemies in the state capitol, and many are his fellow Republicans in the legislature. As the rift continues to widen, Scott’s ability to get things done may start to weaken.

Scott arrived in Tallahassee as an outsider and a man with no political experience, who was determined to change government as we know it.

First, he rolled out a controversial budget, cutting everything from education to prisons.
The governor's rejection of federal funding for high-speed rail opened up a new and very public divide with dozens of powerful Republican lawmakers.

1. That link did not work - let's try this

Winds of a recall swirling around Florida’s new governor

On one level I want the tea bag whack jobs to be crazy enough to scare the beejeezuz out of the right wing. I think Rick Scott is doing that. But on a realistic level, I worry about how much damage they will do because the right wing is nearly as insane as the tea baggers.

And for insane - in the picture attached to this article, don't Rick Scott's eyes look like lizard eyes?

2. Looking forward to Rick Scott's "Walker moment" people will flood the streets for this jerk!

7. We can only hope...

I was at the capitol during the 2000 election protests, it was a beautiful thing. Well except for those "Sore Loserman" sign asses.

3. I can't wait for the Republicans to begin whining about these recall murmurs.

They can dish it but can't take it - just ask Gray Davis.

8. No can be recalled yet, a recall bill allowing recalls would have to pass first

4. I'm still astounded he was voted in to begin with. Rec'd with

hope that this actually happens.

12. I'm not surprised... once he won the Republican Nomination it was over

We fielded a VERY weak candidate. Crist ate up the middle. Simple as that.

5. Keeping fingers crossed

he is one of the most offensive results of last November's election (and God knows they were aplenty).

6. You know...

these Republican legislators are something else. They KNEW that this guy was (is) a scum bag, yet they put partisan politics (shocker) over everything. Alex Sink would have been a wonderful governor. Florida blew it.

9. That would be terrific.

10. Hope it happens.

11. The rethugs started this recall shit eight years ago against Gray Davis

and now it looks like it might come back to hunt them

13. Sweet ironic justice that would be.

14. I saw something on his rejection of the federally-funded high speed rail.

Many, many Floridians not happy about his rejection of that big-time job creating effort.
