HOW POOR MEMORIES HELP THE ETHICALLY CHALLENGED

In Florida people tend to forget about ethical miss-steps by the state Republican politicians. We have a governor who cheated Medicare of millions when he was the head of a health organization. Although this came out in his campaign, the Republicans refused to take his cheating into consideration when they voted for him. We received a letter from a friend refuting all of that nonsense and informing us of how wonderful a man he was.

Floridians now have a front runner for the 2016 Presidential election who has an ethical problem himself. In case you never heard, Marco Rubio used his Republican credit card for personal matters, such as paying cleaning bills, getting new tires for his car along with other things. Of course it was all a misunderstanding and he asked that the Republican members of the ethics committee clear him of any misdoing. He refunded the money to the Party and now has a clean slate and is beloved by the losers of the past presidential election.

In case you haven’t noticed, we have a lot of state politicians about whom I’ve written before who are ethically challenged. I think the voters are now receiving that message and we’ll see what happens in the next few years.
