Bloomberg won the mayoral election in NYC. She said he spent over 100 million dollars! Did I hear that correctly? How many doctor visits would that pay for?!?

5. Like I said, he bought the election |
|
He needs to quit tomorrow and declare a new election without HIM.
It's all about his fucking ego.

8. The direct mail spending was unseemly. |
|
It seems like we got a huge postcard or self-mailer every week.
Money. Money. Money.

10. I heard that there was going to be a runoff, but the challenger suddenly dropped out |
|
By his own choice and free of duress, of course.
And then world leaders raced to declare Bloomberg's victory legitimate.

12. What party does he belong to now? |
|
He's been a Democrat, a Republican and an Independent. It's hard to keep track of what party he belongs to.
'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy' ~ what a joke our so-called Democracy has become. It all comes down to who can afford to buy an 'elected' office. And the people just cannot compete anymore.
