As far as Bill Clinton and Sarah Palin's speaking fees; as you noted they are both private citizens. They are both free to earn any amount they can.

Again, you just say things with no explanation, and I am beyond explaining...just read and learn somethings.
Your life appears to be a one way street to libel anyone who is not a democrat.....that must be miserable. I could care less about what party or what position you take on issues, but I think personal slander is beyond anything you make claims about these people.
Your posts are actually insulting to anyone who believes in this country. You will never, and have never, heard me utter any claims against any politician that I disagree with...it is dispicable in my opinion...if you cannot make a point without slinging garbage...just shut up.
I feel sorry for people like you...you miss the vibrant, exciting politics where you listen to both sides, decide your position on an issue and allow yourself to enjoy the discourse based on facts. And sometimes you change your position based on what you hear, BUT YOU ALWAYS LEARN. In your case, none of this is possible...you are a person who has a soul that is owned by one bias, one party and one view on everything and you allow others to tell you what you should think.
It is amazing when you allow yourself to LISTEN...and especially HEAR...you learn so much. You will never try it and I am just sad for you and your one track mind....must be boring. I find it stimulating and exciting to read both sides of an issue.....I only object to the personal mud slinging. As much as I disagreed with President Obama when he was running, I never once allowed myself to be disrespectful of him and I hope I can always maintain that.
In this case, is Rick Scott my kind of guy...no way. Does he deserve criticism for what happened in his firm....yes. BUT calling him a person who committed medicare fraud is a bit over the top and that kind of mud slinging just rolls off your tongue and only in one direction. That is simply what is wrong with our political system today. Read a bit on why he used the fifth amendment and I by no means agree with his use of it in this case, but at least I know WHY he did it.....THAT does not make him what you called him.\\
Just to clarify...
"Scott indeed did give a deposition in 2000 in which he invoked the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution 75 times. The amendment reads in part that no one "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."
Scott's deposition, however, was not part of the criminal fraud case being pursued by the federal government. In fact, Scott was never officially questioned during the federal criminal investigation. Instead, the case in question was a civil case involving Columbia/HCA and Nevada Communications Corp. Nevada Communications alleged that Columbia/HCA breached the terms of a communications contract."

Quite a leap you made to condemn a person as you did. Perhaps your sources have a bias ??????
