Bloomberg is a Democrat and the NYC GOP should realize this. He would not deny he voted for Hillary on Sean Hannity's radio program.

Bloomberg switched parties out of political expedience. He cuts the fire and police departments while the city pays landlords $3000 a month to house homeless people in $500 a month apartments. He raises property taxes 18.5% when 40% of the city's budged is spent on social services.

The odious city councilman, Charles Barron (D-Brookyln), once said that he would like to slap White people for his mental health. Perhaps Barron could slap Bloomberg and do us all a favor.

I didn’t take to what the mayor was saying, and I decided it was time to go back to Staten Island,” Mr. Oddo said of the Monday night dinner. “When I invite folks over to my place, generally I try not to insult them.”

Good for him and the other one who left. Not THAT'S courage.

Despite the mayor’s success on some traditionally Republican fronts, like shutting down the Board of Education, keeping crime down, and keeping the welfare rolls falling

I didn't realize he had been there long enough to have any real effect on these...

Bring Back Rudy

Many FReepers dislike Rudy for his pro-gay and pro-abortion stances. However, I'd take Rudy over Bloomberg any day of the week.

The Staten Island GOP is the only real Republicans downstate with the exception of a handful on the Island and up by Weschester County.

If Bloomberg is so concerned about city revenues, why does he engage in his anti-smoking vendetta, which has got to reduce city tax revenues?

"a super-sized, city-sponsored dinner of brisket "

Brisket of taxpayer.

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck and craps like a duck, it's a duck - no matter what it chooses to call itself.

Bloomberg is just the most recent of a new phenonmenon in the northeast - a plague worse than RINOs. Blatant DemoCRAPs who jump parties, get elected as Republicans in Republican districts, and then act like DemoCRAPs while insisting they are Republicans.

The new American Chimera

RUDY???? Really??

The anti-Gun, homophilic, marriage-vow-breaking, illegal-alien-protecting buddy of Clinton?

Hardly.

Last I heard the Fascist-in-chief was in Mexico trying to help them fight crime. Maybe he saw some familiar faces down there that he was protecting up here while Mayor.

What a phoney and fraud.

The last decent mayor New York City had was Fiorello La Gurdia. Remember him??

“If the mayor’s opposing me that’s probably a good thing. My popularity’s probably better than his,” he said.

No kidding. If I were a Republican in New York, the last person I'd want endorsing me is Bloomberg.

city-sponsored dinner of brisket on mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a side, not an underlayment. I'd walk out, too.

Democrats are dumb. Don't expect them to be logical. They never are.

It is very gratifying to see the people of New York get the government that they deserve, i.e., Mrs. Billy Clinton and Bloomerburg!

WOW! What a way to infiltrate the Republican party, yet do the bidding of the Democrats.
