Billionaire climate-change supporter pledges to spend big to beat Florida Gov. Rick Scott
Miami Herald ^ | August 2, 2014 | By Marc Caputo

The billionaire is ready to take out Florida’s multi-millionaire governor.

In a nationwide push to fight Republicans who deny the existence of man-made climate change, investor-turned-activist Tom Steyer has founded a Florida political committee, seeded it with $750,000 of his own money and says he’ll spend far more to help Democrat Charlie Crist defeat Gov. Rick Scott.

Florida Democrats are buzzing about Steyer spending $10 million, which he won’t discuss. Republicans say the California Democrat is a phony environmentalist, but they nevertheless worry his financial commitment could be real in Florida.

“It’s hard to look at the map of the United States and not understand that not only is Florida Ground Zero for climate [change], it’s the third most-populous state,” Steyer said in a sit-down interview Friday with The Miami Herald.

I haven’t seen any of his TV commercials, showing him with his “Beard”!
I also have seen John Morgan & family endorsing him, yet.

“Representing the People, Not the Powerful!” John Morgan, BIG backer of ZERO.

Whatever it takes for an ultra-wealthy enviro-Nazi to silence man-made “climate change” deniers.

“Steyer said he no longer invests in coal and that his commitment to addressing climate change has changed his life”

So how much does he have invested in the climate change scam?

This Steyer scumbag gave a boatload of money to the punk Terry McAwful and helped him get elected governor of Virginia.

I resent Steyer giving money to candidates in a state where he doesn’t even live.

They always have been, what makes you think it has ever been otherwise? Because they say so?

Tom Steyer needs an IRS audit!

I believe the reporting form is 1040X.

Republicans could use these points to campaign. I think they waste a lot of opportunities to define their opponents to the public.

“investor-turned-activist Tom Steyer has founded a Florida political committee, seeded it with $750,000 of his own money...”

A perfect example of the corporate/government fascist nexis.

Seig heil, Steyer, you Nazi POS.

There’s no guarantee for you that we won’t do American-style Nuremberg trials. Think about it.
