Scott lies, lies and lies. Either that or he is more stupid than I thought. But make no doubt, he did not make millions by being stupid. He did it by being a liar and cheating along the way. He claims he did not know about HCA's 1.7 billion fraud too. Boy what can we expect from him if elected Governor of Florida. Maybe just another: "I didn't know, I am just the Governor." Putting him as Governor would be the beginning of the end for Florida.

MCCOLLUM CAMPAIGN TO RICK SCOTT: COME CLEAN ON YOUR PROFITS FROM ABORTIONS, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND THE OBAMA STIMULUS
Tallahassee, FL – Today, McCollum for Governor Campaign Manager Matt Williams issued the following statement regarding Rick Scott’s hypocrisy on the issues of abortion, immigration and the stimulus.
“Last night, Rick Scott was rightfully questioned about his conflicting positions on issues important to conservatives, but instead of providing his usual evasiveness, this time he flat out lied.
“Rick Scott’s unwillingness to come clean on how much he has made from elective abortions, illegal immigrants and the Obama stimulus raise serious concerns about his character, and prove he cannot be trusted on any issue.
“Floridians deserve to know exactly how much Rick Scott has profited from the very practices he claims he opposes. He claims he is a “pro-life” leader, and yet as CEO of Columbia/HCA, he failed to stop abortions from happening at his hospitals and took the profits. He claims he will work to curb illegal immigration in Florida, and yet he is happy to take profits from a company facilitating money transfers from illegal immigrants in the United States to their families in Mexico. And in perhaps the most shocking of all hypocrisies, he made at least $4 million from the Obama stimulus as a “controlling member” of Xfone – the same stimulus he claims he would “fight” as governor.
Rick Scott can only evade questions on his hypocritical positions for so long. If Rick Scott really believes in accountability, he can start by releasing his tax returns to prove he always puts his principles over his profits.”
BACKGROUND
In an article entitled “Tea Party supporters in West Delray Beach press GOP governor hopeful Rick Scott on financial issues,” the Palm Beach Post today reported on Rick Scott’s failure to provide answers to an audience of tea party supporters in Delray Beach.
According to the article, “Asked if any of the companies he invests in have received federal stimulus money, Scott said: "I have no idea. You know, I have a variety of investments."
“Politico.com reported last month that Xfone, a company in which Scott had a 17 percent stake in 2008, has received $60 million in stimulus money.
As for Scott's answer that he doesn't know about all the activities of all the companies he has invested in, a woman in the audience shouted: "I think you'd better find out real soon.”
