Comments on: Bloomberg Abandons Republican Party

NYC Mayor Changing Party Registration From Republican To Unaffiliated

[gkc99]

Perhaps Bumberg is getting paid by Repubbie operatives to suck votes from Hilly. Nobody in New York is gonna vote for that phony redneck who practices talking like he has a mouthful of pebbles, Fred Thompson. I'm surprised Fred hasn't bought himself a hound dawg yet to appeal to the dumfuk rednek yahoos from Texass and other backwards venues.

We get to vote for our favorite one!

Aristocracy-
a government or state ruled by an elite, or privileged upper class.

Oligarchy-
a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.

Plutocracy-
a government or state in which the wealthy class rules.

And so they start to come out of the bush into the light. . .

This is only the continuing of what has become the downfall of the Republican Party. People in the Country outside the South are very dissatisfied with the Religious Reich and the Southern Fascist that Run the Republican Party. They are tired of selling out their beliefs in America and what being an American really is to have power. If the leaders of the party do not realize this fact, something that Southern Fascist have never done, the party is doomed.

[mcvet]

But it does point to the fact that there are no candidates on either side who are inspiring too many people.

Now everyone knows you fascist are so "Superior" that you think YOUR PARTY is the only one and that YOUR canidates are the only ones. Not so and the "Other Side" seems, if you believe what they tell the pollsters, VERY happy with their Canidates. Maybe you should get out more often and stop attending those Nazi Youth Rally's. Sieg Heil Y'all.

Understanding the rats are jumping ship--the ideal situation here would be for Bloomberg to run for president and have Lieberman as VP, then we can bomb Iran with the Israel army.

[candojj1]

Our bloomers shudder now that Bloomberg has changed his. Perhaps the stench of Times Square will wash away and the brown decay will have new scivies from Lord and Taylor.

I'm so happy that you are unaffiliated. I remember that Ruffian was also a filliated and ran at Belmont. Will you be running at Belmont or Aqueduct? May I bet on you at OTB? Will there be exacta betting?

Will you come up with a new Soprano skit where Tony is actually whacked? That way maybe people might see your originality. You might post it on the net next to the OJ stolen copy "If I did it", or the pirated copy of Sicko and put your own edits in and make it interesting. I'm sure you have a lot of stories to tell us.

Bloomberg's prominent defection from GOP ranks shows the disarray and entropy of Republican doctrine and platform for 2008. And as if on cue, even Charlie Rose has begun interviewing guests sharply critical of GOP policies.

This Year of the Lame Bush also promises an interesting campaign. Wonder how many GOP candidates will do what one Florida congressman did with Bush's offer of support? The pol voted with his feet and said "Thanks, but no thanks" to Bush-- on the day Bush spoke on behalf, the Florida congressman suddenly discovered he had a "schedule conflict" and simply could not be seen with Bush that day.

tnichlsn, you left out all the bible thumping idiots that thought "w" was their answer to one nation under thier own god...he screwed those fools over too. (Thank everybody's god for that!)
mr. bloom-blum should be called mr. flip-flop...seems to blow whichever way the wind starts to turn. But unlike the shrub, at least he knows what public oppionion is...

[brianbwb-2009]

to Mojo805,

I stand corrected, Giuliani did start the process, but it was Bloomberg that accelerated it, Giuliani wanted to "clean up the streets" his focus was on the homeless, while Bloomberg courted the bigger businesses that drove out the smaller ones,

Neither deserves consideration for elected office

[tasmhs]

I would strongly support an independent candidate, but not Bloomberg. I'm GOP, but would welcome an independent who was a viable candidate. Former Governor Angus King from my beloved home state of Maine would be a great candidate.

Bloomberg? Give me a break, he's a poor man's Ross Perot. He brings nothing new to the table.

But it does point to the fact that there are no candidates on either side who are inspiring too many people.

[mojo805]

"Mr. Bloomberg "cleaned up" Times Square, by callously evicting the homeless without giving them an alternative, and pushed out many small businesses in favor of high priced Disney stores, and other unaffordable places for the elite. Now Times Square looks nice on TV, but you cannot afford to see it in person."

It was Giuliani who did those things in the 90's, not Bloomberg.

[tnichlsn]

Who in their right mind still is a Republican? The budget balancers, the pro-military? GW has done those GOPer factions sooo proud, with his budget balancing prowess and judicious use of American military. About the only remaining GOPers at this point are the super rich, who must sleep very well knowing their bank balances are overflowing, while millions more American children go to bed hungry under GW's rule, and the "Christian" right, who are more concerned with *** not marrying than the millions more American children who go to bed hungry under GW's rule. They (the GOP) had six years of unchallenged control and pretty much ran the country into the ground... never again!

[smirk5]

Only 1.5 years to go. Then, at least America might stop digging the hole it's been digging for 6.5 years.

I am not impressed with the idea of a third party candidate, especially one who switches parties as easily as changing his suit. Bloomberg talks about the desirability of being non-partisan. That is not attractive to me at all!!! As far as the political divide in this country...there isn't any way I'm going to agree that going to war in Iraq was a good idea, or that insulting other countries brings on anything but hatred and belligerence from countries who actually pose us no threat, or that stem cell research is bad. As long as the Republicans pander to this kind of thinking, then I'm going to play politics and I expect anyone I vote for to play politics!

Regardless of party affiliation, America does not need, and should not want this type of person to be president, his view on the economic disparity seems to be "Well, if you're poor, go away, where you go to I don't care, just as long as I don't see you."

[randalds]

"Throughout his 5 = years as mayor, Bloomberg has often been at odds with his party and Bush. He supports gay marriage, abortion rights, gun control and stem cell research, and raised property taxes to help solve a fiscal crisis after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks."

I'm surprised the republicans didn't throw him out of the party. Except for gun control he sounds like he supports the main issues I do. I wonder where he stands on immigration? So far though he's definitely worth looking more into.

[nyckate]

FeelFree1 - well - Bush and Rove sure proved that there is a segment of America begging to be fooled -- I don't think that's the same segment that would support Bloomberg - he's not George - and that's a darned good thing!

The thing about Bloomberg is that he is a very wealthy man - self-made. George on the other hand is a trust-fund baby who failed at every business daddy set him up in. That Bush and Rove managed to convince people to vote for him is not a triumph in the real sense of the word - it is simply the end result of Rove's brilliantly evil media sale of THE worst president of the United States of America.

[fascistusa]

America is RULED by the American/Israeli Elite.

End of story.

It doesn't matter if Bloomburg is a Republinazi or Demoncrat.

It doesn't matter. The Elite will get what they want.

[sero5]

The only reason why he switched party affiliation from Democrat to Republican for his first mayoral race, was not for ideology, but to avoid the Democratic primary for that race. Bloomberg is not a man who was favored to win that primary.
