“Alliance for America’s Future”, a consistently useful tool for established GOP figures (According to the Politico our own Republican Party Of Florida (RPOF) has used them) has launched a blistering attack Ad on Rick Scott. Here is a Link to it. It seems this organization is sort of like the GOP’s version of “Murder, Inc”… when someone in the GOP gets out of line, the establishment GOP calls in the rough stuff (aka “Alliance for America’s Future”) and doesn’t question how they “got their target”, just as long the top brass (aka: the candidate hiring this PAC, in this case McCollum) has an alibi and appears on the surface to have clean hands.
First of all, here is a more balanced view of Rick Scott and the Medicare issue by yours truly.
Second of all, ANY Political Action Committee, especially one with ties to the “Old Guard” of the GOP that uses Rick Sanchez and MSNBC as their “authoritative” voice needs their head examined. MSNBC is an admittedly liberal hack job of a News Network and admits that it tilts it take on the news to the left. They have abandoned any pretense of at least having fair and balanced news reporting (forget about their liberal Pundit line-up at night). That Bill McCollum is using this MSNBC hit piece in his attempt to keep Scott at bay means he, McCollum, has lost all touch with the grassroots revolt that is going on in the GOP.
If Bill McCollum thinks his hired hit team resorting to using the “bête noire” of the new conservative media (MSNBC) is going to win over the minds and hearts of the increasingly wired in and web savvy GOP Grassroots and Tea Parties, he is sadly mistaken.
If I were Rick Scott I would start out my next ad with the words:
“Bill McCollum is so desperate to win, he is using the network of Keith Olberman to do his dirty work. Not Fair. Not Balanced. That’s Bill McCollum. Time for a fresh start, time for Rick Scott for Governor”
Really, this latest ad by McCollum and company is everything that is wrong with the GOP. Just like the Ad with John McCain saying to his voters “Just Build The Danged Fence“, it smacks of “the Say Anything, Do Anything to Win Even if you Don’t Mean It” Republican Wing of the Party.
I, for one, have had enough of that wing.

Gonna meet Mr. Scott next week.
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Wednesday, May 26th at 9:29PM EST (link)He’s speaking to our group next Wednesday evening (DC Works For Us – the bi-monthly meeting in Coral Springs) and it’s my PA system he’ll be talking through.
We asked if he’d come by next time he was here in South Flori-duh. His campaign responded almost immediately with available dates. Turn-around from request to booking was about two weeks, tops.
He’s got a bunch of questions coming his way that he may not like or appreciate…… but trying to save our nation is a tough business.
We’re already expecting a full house in the venue we use (around 350 people) and we just announced his appearance a few hours ago.
OK, the recap....
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, June 6th at 8:24PM EST (link)Short and sweet…….
I don’t trust him…. period.
Campaign staff on site (2 guys) snuck him in the back door of the venue and out the same way about three minutes after he was done.
Those three minutes were spent taking photos with anyone who wanted one with him.
——————
Mr. McCollum will be speaking at our group’s next meeting (15th June).
Sorry, but Rick Scott does not deserve your vote.
usadying (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 12:55AM EST (link)My husband worked for his old company. What an arrogant jackass. He has a lot in common with Obama, except that he at least ran a company. He also ran it into the ground. I could not ever vote for this man.
Rick Scott is a Fraud
thirtyyearveteran Sunday, June 6th at 8:11PM EST (link)Scott’s campaign ads offer the clearest understanding of why he doesn’t belong in any elected office, much less governor. He operated a company that defrauded the government – us taxpayers, really all of us – of Billions of dollars for which the company was fined $1.7 BILLION. He implies that is good business and ethical practice. What a fraud. What a criminal. He can’t wait to again line his pockets with our money and defraud Americans. If this is the best we can do, we’re in real trouble.
