“I finance my own campaigns, so I am NOT beholden to anyone!”

But it is HIS very money, that makes so many beholden to him!

That is not good either!

As long as he wasn’t smoking a cigarette while eating salty food.

Sometime in Mayor-for-Life Bloomberg’s first term, I remember reading a story where he was being conducted
through the offices of a City agency, and happened to stroll
by a desk with an unattended computer that showed a solitaire game on the monitor. Bloomberg said to his tour guide, ‘whoever’s desk this is, fire him’, and I do believe the man was fired, just like that.
I think that’s all you need to know about this overconfident
Lefty Demagogue in Independent’s Clothing. His is every bit as much of a useless demagogic Zero as the real Zero in the White House. NEVER liked him from DAY ONE.

He donates huge sums of money to special interest groups, anonymously.

The info isn’t revealed until after the election.

He’s as sleazy as all the rest of the demonrats.

When he knew he couldn’t win in a dem primary he switched to republican and marketed himself as a business man who couldn’t be bought. Hah, but he bought plenty of votes with his money.

I’d like to see him pay the legal penalty, but it won’t happen. He has more money than any of us. He’ll buy his way out of prosecution, just like he bought his way into city hall.

Another liberal elite.

Good point!

And some wonder whether he has any economic stake in the Ground Zero mosque being built. I tend to doubt it, but it would be interesting to find out.

Frankly, I wish everyone did that.

The fact that he had a last campaign at all is a crime.

Not in the mosque but in Islamic Dubai. His company Bloomberg LLC expanded their financial center in Dubai to become a financial hub and capitalize on shari’a finance. His decision to support the GZ mosque is self dealing. If he came out against it his investment in Islamic Dubai would more than likely evaporate.

Here is an artilce titled “Ground Zero Mosque Madness: NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s Bloomberg LLC expanding its financial center to a regional hub in Dubai” link: http://emergingcorruption.com/?p=726

After reading this article can you smell corruptocrat? Bloomberg is making decisions not in the best interest of NYC nor the 9/11 victims’ families, but to protect his company’s investment in the Islamic world, i.e. protect his wallet not the citizens of NYC.

Bloomberg won because 9/11 happened, Giuliani became the savior of NYC, and Rudy endorsed Mike. No 9/11, and the Mayor would have been Mark Green!

Imagine Elizabeth Holtzman as Mayor. I think Sharpton was running too, even tho he lives in NJ

Every one of those lice would have been deadly for the city.

It’s was the best of the worst with Bloomers
