Rick Scott Backed by American Conservative Union

The American Conservative Union (ACU) announced on Thursday it was supporting Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla., for a second term.

I urge all conservatives to turn out and vote to re-elect Rick Scott on November 4th. Scott is a strong conservative who will help Florida continue to grow, ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp said on Thursday. Rick Scott not only talks about tax cuts, he cut taxes 40 times in four legislative sessions.

Schlapp took aim at Democratic challenger former Gov. Charlie Crist.

Charlie Crist, on the other hand, is everything about politics we all hate, Schlapp said. He is the ultimate show horse who will saying anything and do nothing. His victory would send a message of encouragement to low life, empty headed politicians to keep squirming until they fool enough people to grab power again."
