Comments on: Bloomberg Abandons Republican Party

NYC Mayor Changing Party Registration From Republican To Unaffiliated

[katg21]

I'd be interested in hearing him out.

Poor Mike can't seem to make up his mind. "I was a Democrat before I was a Republican. But I'm an Independent now."

That's what I love...consistency.

[ubrew12]

I'm very interested in his candidacy. Many have said that elections need to be changed so as to be not so dependent on buying 30 sec spots from the media. We need to go back to reading about and listening to our candidates; not being brainwashed at HUGE expense. Maybe Bloomberg, with his independent wealth (not beholden to either of the Party machines), can pull this reform off. Unless someone can, and soon, our democracy will continue to deteriorate.

It's time to put the two dominate parties to rest, neither one has any interest in what the people want.

[lorinkundert]

Good, one less lib to pollute the party

[rlenham-2009]

Gosh, I changed my party affiliation to un-affiliated too but am not one of the aristocracy. I think a strong third party in this country would be a good thing. To continue as we are with the animosity and partisan politics that currently exists will be a disaster.

Quote:
"I have filed papers with the New York City Board of Elections to change my status as a voter and register as unaffiliated with any political party."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

He is as "unaffiliated" with being Republican (in the Bush sense of dangerous fascism) as the days of the year are unaffiliated with a calendar.

He will be a closet Republican- deliberately running to confuse things.
PERIOD.

Think about what Ralph Nader actually accomplished in the election where Bush ran and won.

And please think twice, or things won't be alright.

[feelfree1]

The Republican Party drifts even further towards irrelevance.

[bellal-2009]

Oh, big deal.

[gkc99]

More of the same ol' crapola from Mr. Slick. They all whine about partisanship, like they don't create it all the time when it serves them.

And please, Lord, not another dipstick New Yorker. Every right thinking person hates them all. As they say, if you were on fire, a New Yorker wouldn't stop to spit on your to put it out. Spit or something else.

Send Bloomberg back to his swimming pool filled with gold coins.

[fredgrad2000]

I'll take an independent, or a Moderate from either party, that can heal this 50/48 divide we have and that will remain from a divisive election won by a polarizing candidate (i.e., Hillary, and wacko lefty like Edwards or any far right GOP-er). There's candidates from both parties that could be "uniters" in terms of winning a real mandate (Richardson could win a number of previously "red" states; and either Giuliani or McCain could win some "blue" states depending on their oppponent) - which is what we need after two close elections and 8 years (come 2009) of a media that has exploited that division and made it worse (excessive Bush-bashing, only negative news by MSM; right-wing talk radio being nothing but fire-breathing)...

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.

Vote for your favorite one!

Mayor Mike is right. He has struck a resonant chord in the country. This is like when Reagan was in office in the later part of his first term. No one wanted to say anything, because he seemed so popular.

Now no one wants to say anything because they may be labeled as unpatriotic or have their phones and email monitored. This is a very scary development and one where elimination of citizens rights can be done all in the name of national security.

This has a feel of McCarthyism in the 1950s. Name names or you will be blacklisted and labeled a communist supporter. Now if you try to explain why some of the Arab world may hate us, you are branded as someone trying to make excuses for them.
