Just asking.

Its dumb and it hurts the state, but its legal.

I expect a subsequent governor will quietly implement it...its the smart thing to do.

he will be gone in two years as the dem candidate runs on "I will implement the HCR bill"

I wouldn't count on it. Florida is still a very conservative state, and seems to like electing Republicans.

Look how many years Republicans have held the Governorship. Look at how they were fooled by the Bush family - both federally for George Bush and at the state level for Jeb Bush.

Look at how it still votes half-Republican in Presidential elections. It was very disappointing 2 years ago when they chose Rick Scott over Alex Sink by 1%. Why did they do that? What is it about Florida that they insist on always having these close elections where someone wins by only 1 point?

Just saying.

Obama won in Florida.

The fact of the matter is that our Democratic leadership in Florida is just sad. Your facts alone seem to indicate that we are not a "very conservative" state at all, but quite purple (moderate).

"Look at how it still votes half-Republican in Presidential elections." - Look at how we vote half-Democratic in Presidential Elections.

Edited to add: Welcome to DU

There are over half a million more registered Dems than Repigs. IIRC, there are even more registered Inds than Repigs. Problem is, the FDP is a dysfunctional mess run by DLC types who care more about preserving their own spots at the corporate feed trough than they do about getting other Dems (especially progressives) elected.

I got slammed bigtime because I called for Debbie's head.

blacks. GOP don't know what to do with that.

FL may be center-right today, but that will change when the racists finally die off.

55% of registered voters in Kentucky are Democrats, yet they have Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell for Senators. And your wrong on the number of indies vs Repubs in Fl., there are 4.1M Repubs and only 2.6M indies/third-party. If you look at the numbers in the state legislature, Florida is one of the most conservative/Republican states in the union. Democrats can't get a thing done in Tallahassee, and part of the problem is that Democrats tend to vote in much smaller numbers for state elections and as such we get stuck with the crap we have in this state. Scott's rejection of the Medicaid expansion will make him more unpopular, but if those people don't show up to vote in 2014, it means nothing.

That the Florida democratic party is stuck in the old boys club mentality and keep picking absolutely horrible candidates to run for Guv...Bill McBride? and then Sink. I swear I have been wondering if we don't have republicans in charge of the selection process. Oh yea, that's not to mention the WORST senatorial candidate that I've ever seen in Kendrick Meek-talk about a guy with zero personality-somebody needs to post The Beastie Boys Sabotage video

Is this how it's going to be from now on? Any government agency will in essence get flipped off and ignored by the right? This is so bizarre to me-- the neocons are so ferocious and so determined to get their way that they would (apparently) go to any lengths to get it. So far, they have shown no signs of abating their insane diatribes-- which, I admit, does make me nervous. I don't even know how many of them there are-- obviously they're a slim minority but still, it could be thousands upon thousands with their ammo blazing coming down on Washington or wherever. Yikes

that don't establish their own state exchange. Very smart.

than whatever criminal Scott would set up, anyway.

but he still has another two years to inflict more harm on the state.

Can he legally do this? I thought the rights of the people had to be upheld. The only way this can be prevented in Florida is if the people stand up and fight him. I heard the Republicans are spending much money on adds trying to pursuade people the healthcare law is a costly tax. They are not telling people the truth. I think Dems in Florida have a job to do. If he refuses to abide by the law all of the people who aren't insured will be paying penalties on taxes and that is the way they will sell the costliness of it.

These governors are so sure money is going to buy the Presidency! They don't think they will loose the 2012 election in November. They are gambling. They are cheating.

In Florida, voter purging still hasn't been fixed. That is the reason they were occuping Holder's time so, more cheating could go on down there.

We need to find answers to fight these governors who refuse healthcare and are purging voters.

it stinks .... but legal .... as far as adding
people to Medicaid .. now the purge ...
wasn't there a ruling from the court saying
non citizens could be taken off the rolls ....

One crazy thing we have to consider If Obama wins will states with both Republican Governors and stae legislutres try to suceed from
The United States.That may be crazy paronia but Perry already talked about that In Texas back In 2009 although he later tried to deny It.And considering they're talk about Obama and this law.

that wanted Alaska to secede from the Union?
(At least, he did)

even though they later tried to deny It.Her husband was member of Alaska Indepdendent party.Whole primary goal Is for Alaske to
succeed from the United states.
