I was going to vote for him. Now I'm not. For the firs time in years, I'm sitting out an election in NYC. What an idiot Bloomberg is.

What do you expect? Bloomberg's a freakin' RINO, who would sell out his party for 30 pieces of silver in a heartbeat.

If he really sold out HIS party he would be selling out the Democrat party.

Bloomie is no more a Republican than I am a Pango-Pangoan, he simply ran as a Pub to cash in on Giuliani's popularity in NYC. He doesn't even rise to the level of RINO imho.

No, I know he is. And that's the problem. They found it OK to mention it before, but here they think they've spotted a wedge so they naturally continue with their agenda.....

"look here, we have a REPUBLICAN who breaks ranks and is challenging other republicans about judge roberts blah blah blah" without ever making one mention at all that he too is a liberal.

I wouldn't expect him, as a liberal, to be in rank with the rest of the party. Or be in rank with john roberts.

It's so completely infuriating to have a "news agency" which spouts nothing but propaganda.

This isn't the USSR.

ROFL!!! You got it!

But the lib press wouldn't post that. They have their quota of daily propaganda pieces they have to publish.

I agree with all of you, what bloomberg says is irrelevant.

But my post was more about the liberal press' bias than his words.

Look at post 1. Their agenda is *VERY* clear. They think they've identified a wedge issue.

That's why he's Mayor and W is President. Sorry, Michael: nobody cares about your opinion other than your liberal buddies at the NY Slimes.

Blooming-idiot knew he could never win a demonrat primary so he ran as a republican.

His ads were brilliantly conceived, and rarely ever used his own voice.

His opponents were pathetic so the man won the election.

I call him Blooming-idiot for good reason and I hope Ferrar wins, he could not be worse than this effete fagela.

But the NYT aided and abetted the USSR from at least the 1930's. Their correspondent Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer prize covering up Stalin's atrocities in Ukraine when he collectivized agriculture and starved 10 million Ukrainians to death.

Hard to believe he has been so financially successful in life.

Check out how he actually made his money.

The guy is not that bright.

Bloomberg isn't a Republican in any way, shape or form...

Who care's what the idiot mayor of NY thinks anyway?

But make no mistake, the man is a Democrat.

I think he's even worse than that. ;-)

He's almost as bad as the mayor of London.

In all fairness, Newsday does do a pretty good impression of Pravda now and then.

If the mainstream media sees RINO Bloomberg's opposition to Judge Roberts as a wedge issue they are dumber than I thought they were. This is the "What is said in New York is the only thing that really counts" mindset at work.

I have a feeling that half the reporters who went down South to cover the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were surprised to discover there was actually a country west of the Hudson River.

Maybe that a-hole Bloomberg should run for the U.S. Senate, switch back to his original party and be the opposition, instead of this mastubatory fantasy that what he says matters...

Bloomberg doesn't bring that many votes to the Republican party anyway, screw him...

"I was going to vote for him. Now I'm not. For the firs time in years, I'm sitting out an election in NYC. What an idiot Bloomberg is."

I have the same reaction. First he bashes Bush for the Federal response in New Orleans, and now this. What do you know about Ognibene, apart from the fact he is running on the Conservative Party line?

Yeah, the NYT is the pinnacle of liberal bias bulls**t.

I'm not surprised one bit that they had coverups for Stalin.

They need a DDOS attack too.
