>> Bloomberg needs to go away.
Nah, I've gotta go with SWAMPSNIPER, here. Bloomie needs to have his big, fat GOP "R" taken away from him. Kick his sorry carcass over into the jackass camp where it belongs.
I finally couldn't stand the RNC "go along to get along" crap anymore and re-registered "Decline to state". The RNC needs to sprout some stones and draw a hard line as to where wearing the "R" (and access to party money) stops.
Halfwits like Bloomberg are prime targets.
I'd rather re-educate Bloomberg than expel him. He is hardly a halfwit -- just has a major blind spot on this particular issue. He has oodles of money that he made by building an extremely profitable business, that has never emitted even the faintest whiff of corruption or book-cooking. He is also an ambitious fellow, and it's probably been clear to him before this incident (which I doubt had anything at all to do with the NRA), that his current stance on guns eliminates him as a possible Presidential candidate -- for either party. I think he honestly believes he's right on this issue, and honest, intelligent people can be reasoned with. Given his competence, visibility, and wealth, I think it would be well worth trying. If he could ever be turned into a "convert", he'd be an unusually effective one.
