Governor Scott Starts Letter Writing Campaign for Himself

[Dog Walker]

Is this a sign of desperation?  Let's watch for one of these letters to appear in the T-U.

Gov. Rick Scott, the rare statewide politician who doesn't read Florida news, is asking supporters to send a letter to their local newspaper editor praising his work as governor. The letter, of course, would be printed in a paper's editorial section. Scott has yet to sit for an interview with any editorial board in the state.

Scott includes a pre-written letter on his web site that refers to himself as "refreshing" and that he deserves "unwavering and enthusiastic support." A link to the letter was included in an e-mail Scott sent to supporters today boasting that Florida's unemployment rate declined for the fifth consecutive month.

The form letter is set up to be sent to the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Jacksonville Times-Union, Orlando Sentinel, Tallahassee Democrat, Tampa Tribune and the Scripps papers along the Treasure Coast.

Here's a copy:

Dear Editor,

When Rick Scott ran for Governor he promised to create jobs and turn our economy around. I voted for Rick because he’s always been a businessman, not a politician. While politicians usually disappoint us and rarely keep their promises, Rick is refreshing because he’s keeping his word. His policies are helping to attract businesses to our state and get people back to work. Some of the special interests are attacking the Governor for making tough decisions, showing leadership, and doing what he told us he would do. Rick Scott deserves our unwavering and enthusiastic support. How can we expect to elect leaders who will keep their word and do what’s right for our state if we don’t stand up for those with the courage to set priorities, make difficult choices, and actually deliver on their promises made?

Can anyone describe or reveal what Scott's plan is/was to create jobs?

[Charles Hunter]

Lower our already low taxes, eliminate all environmental and business regulation, and create the worst school system in the nation so the populace is too uneducated to know any better.

[Duuuvalboy]

We need to get his ass out of here.. I'm tired of this shit

[Jumpinjack]

Just wait until those self congratulatory fawning letters hit the paper.  I'm thinking of my response.

everyday it gets better with this guy.  What is the de-evolutionary stage past before clown? 

[Ernest Street]

I demand He be drug tested......rub the dogs nose in the pile.

[Timkin]

I wish he could be taken out of office .  He is an idiot, and his desperation is transparent in this action of self-praise


Rick .. old boy.... The higher you climb, the harder you're gonna fall .

Interesting that either his cronies or Scott himself believe their supporters aren't even smart or literate enough to write a letter of praise correctly. I knew he thought little of both his detractors and the citizens of Florida in general, but I didn't realize how dumb he thinks his supporters are.

[Dashing Dan]

Instead of sending out that letter for his friends to sign, why not let the facts speak for themselves?

He said that he would do stupid things and he kept his word.

What a doofus.

If the press does not matter to Rick Scott, why is he trying so hard to use the media to get his message across to the public?!

Governor - "Hello, I'm your governor, and I'm running for President on the red, white and blue ticket. I'm a red  blooded veteran with a green beret and a purple heart."

Ocklawaha - "And a yellow streak down your back"

Governor - "I was wounded 16 times on an aircraft carrier"

Ocklawaha - "He kept walking into the propellers"

Governor - "I'll make it safe for women to walk the streets at night."

Ocklawaha - "Yeah, and if the price is right, you'll do business with them."

Governor - "I'll stop child molesting."

Ocklawaha - "Good"

Governor - "I'll pass new bills to get our government moving."

Ocklawaha - "Great, the last new bills you passed got you 5 years in Raiford"

Governor - "Will someone please throw Ocklawaha out of the building?"
