Why won't Florida GOP leaders talk about hunting trips to King Ranch in Texas?

As other politicians had done before and would do after, Scott was departing for historic King Ranch, one of North America's premier hunting grounds. The trips, records indicate, were financed all or in part with contributions from Florida's sugar industry, right down to the hunting licenses.

Scott won't answer questions about his trip. After weeks of requests from the Times/Herald, his campaign staff released a one-paragraph statement on Friday saying he had gone to King Ranch "in support of his political fundraising efforts."

I was right.

So how many fundraising trips has the taxpayer funded for Obama to date?

Just curious.

Why not admit where he went and what he did?

-------------------------
I was right.

He did....He said he had gone to King Ranch "in support of his political fundraising efforts.

You got a problem with that or is Obama the only one allowed to fundraise?

Looks like a non-issue to me. Another phony scandal dreamed up by the progs.

I :heart; Q

If questions are not answered then more questions come. I mean, like most people just assume that if repugs don't answer questions then they must be hiding something. I think you most likely could thank Nixon for that.

Hey if it was me, I'd just admit it. Something like.

...from a Scott spokeperson:

When the govenor retires ( code for gets his ass beat ) after the next election he is considering where to move to. Since he has plenty of dough he can basically live wherever he wants. He feels that the King Ranch will be a good place. He is also keenly interest in Texas politics. He has very similar interests to Sen Cruz and Gov Perry. And hell, with all the repug freaks in Texas he may be able to get elected again there. ( code for he is going to get his ass run out of FLA )


or something like that. You know just tell a bigger lie.

So if you were asked why you are a homosexual you answer that you like being one.

Got it!

Its been widely reported even in liberal media that Obama is doing nothing other than playing golf and fund raising these days, while completely dismissing his elected duties.  And all on tax payer and the special interest supporter's dime.

Is Cole suggesting it is OK to have a double standard when it suits his agenda?  Sure seems like it.

The joint Tallahassee bureau of the Tampa Bay Times and the Miami Herald have more stories in the works.  

From the current story:

...Legislators and hunting have long made for a combustible mix in Florida. In 1992, when Democrats controlled the Legislature, two dozen lawmakers faced criminal charges after accepting free trips from corporate lobbyists, including some to hunt at game preserves in Georgia, Texas and Mexico.

A 2006 state law called the "gift ban" prohibits lawmakers from directly accepting gifts like free meals, drinks and trips - but a gaping loophole still allows them to be feted like VIPs.

Current law lets donors give unlimited contributions to parties and political committees, as long as the gift serves a vaguely defined "campaign purpose." Parties can then turn around and bestow the gifts on politicians who need not tell taxpayers what they received or who paid for it.

The sugar industry - which includes not only U.S. Sugar but also King Ranch, which owns thousands of acres of sugar cane in Florida - has frequently sought help from the politicians who accepted the Texas hunting trips. Just last year, for instance, the Legislature approved, and Gov. Scott signed, a bill that promises to save the industry millions on pollution cleanup in the Everglades.

"It looks to me like they found a way around the gift ban," said Leon County State Attorney Willie Meggs, who prosecuted the 1992 case, when told about King Ranch trips. "It may not be illegal, but there's probably something wrong with it because it's not transparent."

Why no fuck knut, I would just answer the question, unlike you who would most certainly lie, just like you have for just about 30,000 times.

Fund raising and taking free stuff (bribes) for lax environmental regulation are the same thing?

Obama pays for himself when it comes to food and lodging.
