Bloomberg said the comparison occurred to him when he visited his mother recently and was driving through Lexington, Mass., where a scrubby group of farmers rose up against a well-trained militia more than 200 years ago.

Gee, Mike. You had to drive to MA to be reminded of the Revolutionary War? How about the battles which were fought on Long Island and in New York City?

Now, if we were actually fighting the a large percentage of the Iraq population and not mostly insurgents crawling out from Wahabisitc Middle East rat holes...well, his comments might make sense.Being they make no sense he is simply an ignorant self-hating Jew a$$ clown.

What is a scrubby farmer? Where the colonists grubby or scrappy?

As he has before, Bloomberg maintained that the United States is in "big trouble and said, "Somebody's got to pull it out."

Clarification: "Somebody's got to pull it out of Bloombat's derriere."

Don’t believe the polls. The impeached one, Algore and Kerry all failed to get to 50% of the popular vote. Gore got more popular votes than Bush in 2000 and still lost. I live in S. Florida where you can’t get a more obnoxious, toxic campaign than what the donkeys put out - believe me, 2004 was unbearable. Still they couldn’t do it. Hillary is Kerry without the charm and likeability.

She will lose.

You missed the point of my post. I said that there was no hope for Bloomberg to run as an Ind. and siphon votes away from Hillary (since he officially eliminated himself from consideration weeks ago). I'm quite aware Hillary's chances of winning the general election are slim and none.

Gotcha, but he is a self-indulgent billionaire who loves attention. We’ll see...
