Boss Bloomberg - 8
by John Haughey
One man's oligarchy is omnipresent in New York. Next: Your state, your town, your home. The Scottish have a reputation for appreciating the power of money and being honest. So, leave it to the Scotland Herald to say what papers on this side of the Atlantic won't say (after all, hizzoner does own his own news service): New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his money could be the most dangerous threat to Constitutional democracy in the western world. "On Tuesday, barring a terrorist attack or an unthinkable scandal, Michael Bloomberg will be elected mayor of New York for a third time," the paper said on Nov. 2. "Irrespective of whether his record merits another four years in charge of the city, this represents a stunning demonstration of the power of money in U.S. politics. Mr Bloomberg has spent more of his personal wealth on campaigning than anyone else in the history of the United States. All told, his three runs for mayor will have cost around $250 million, with his latest bid for re-election the most expensive of the lot at somewhere between $110 and $140 million." The article goes on to warn, as evidenced by Bloomberg's crusading outside New York for a range of self-serving Nanny State laws, and, most recently -- and alarmingly -- anti-Second American legislation, this elitist kazillionaire's oligarchic reach will become omnipresent in the coming years as he buys media, lobbyists, elections, legislators, and whatever else stands in his way.

My question to the amount these people (our elected officials) spend is what is the return on their investment? In dollars because it sure don't make cents!
Our political system needs an enema.
great. another 4 years of that wacko. here we go again.
they need to put a cap on the amout these politicians can spend to make the playing field more even.
Bloomberg is dangerous. I don't usually get seasick, but just thinking about this guy makes me feel like I should have taken a dramamine.
The Founders of this country did not intend for there to be a professional class of politicians. The George Washington Tyrant Removal method is always available, as a last resort. Keep your powder dry, my friends.
Wonder where all his money came from we almost know all of his supporters... criminals aiding criminals...
This guy should be in jail for his Tennesssee stunt.
Liberal city extremist mayor. Both can drop off the planet for all i care.
Yep, no chance I'll go there anytime soon. Makes you wonder though, who worse? Bloomberg or the bozos that voted him back in?
I hate it when they don't put City at the end of New York when they talk or write about New York City. It makes people think they are talking about New York State. New York City's mayoral term is to be two terms, but tyrant Bloomberg changes the law so he could vote himself in for three terms. I'm sure after this he will change it to indefinite mayoral terms. I live in New York STATE and I think New York CITY should secede from New York State. New York State is mostly rural and "us country folk" do not share the same views as "the city slickers". The city slickers think milk comes from a grocery store.
And by the way Downstate New York (City); there is not a Upstate New York (City) there is only New York State.
One last thing. Obamee wants to change the Presidential two term policy to three terms just like his buddy Bloomberg did.
