The Revolutionary

To tmtd
I would only change one word in your comments. Your sentence beginning with "I have always been a republican" I would change republican to democrat and still fill same as you. National politicians today are only concerned about getting reelected no matter how. F,E.B.

apparently no one really read this article...... this is proof that Mike Bloomberg can do a better job than any other candidate so far..... wanna compare his pros and cons? see that he has more success and achievements in his life and as a Mayor that Hillary as a senator, rudy as a mayor, romney as a governor, etc..... open your eyes people.... media says that americans are stupid but you still dont do anything about it....

Texas? You gotta be kidding. Same with the other red states Bloomberg is rerentlessly and aggressively anti-gun. Guliani can be forgiven because he limited his efforts to NYC. Bloomberg sent his minions to sue gun-stores in Virgina.

True, to New Yorkers, the only use for firearms is for yound inner city males to fight duels. Lacking expereince, In more civlized areas, an antigun position will cost you 3-7% of the popular vote, no matter what the other issues are. This is enough to swing most elections. .

George Bush is now president because in the '94 election the incubent Texas governor Ann Richards was not sufficiently pro-firearms so George dubya beat her. And she was very popular otherwise.

theboltguy, thank us New Yorkers along with a few other chosen "liberal cities and states" for the little prosperity found in the US today.

There is no way Bloomberg could get elected outside of New York with his anti-gun sentiments.

that's it Mike592? your entire political outlook on Boomberg is based on one issue? Rather myopic. I think his goal is for you to keep your gun to yourself and keep them off the streets of new york. Not exactly a big picture guy are you?

its funny to me that a gun hating liberal referal to the founding fathers when his illegal attempts into making honest gun shop owners look bad is a total joke. he had a convicted felon working for him trying to make a straw purchase. like the gun shop owners knew this. the person who actually bought the weapon was legal to do so. then he climbed on his soapbopx and chimed to the world that these gunshop owners where knowingly selling to convicted felons. what a total joke blookberg is. id vote for binladen before id vote for this clown

It's ironic (and disgusting) how much this article discusses Bloomberg's supposed affinity for patriotism and the ordinary citizens that won our American Revolution, given the fact that he is one of the most active zealots obsessed with stomping out our Second Amendment rights. The founding fathers that he claims to admire are spinning in their graves due to his (sometimes illegal -- see Virginia gun dealer lawsuits) attempts to deny law-abiding, ordinary individuals their innately held right to keep and bear arms for their security that our Constitution guarantees. Perhaps he needs to read up on Paul Revere and our nation's history a litle more.

It's ironic (and disgusting) that so much of this story focused around Bloomberg's dedication to "patriotism" and the heroic, ordinary citizens that fought for our freedom during America's Revolution. This billionaire elitist is one of the most active zealots in our country trying to stomp the Second Amendment out of existence. The founding fathers that he supposedly admires are spinning in their graves thanks to his (sometimes illegal) attempts to remove the cornerstone of our country's freedom -- an individual right for every law-abiding, everyday citizen to keep and bear arms for their security.

Never! Whi in the world would we vote for yet another rich billionaire elitist and expect anything to change? There is nothing in this guy's record to indicate he would by anything except more of the same. I want change, real, lasting and radical change.

No more elites, it amazes me that for over two decades we have elected two presidents from two different dynastic families. Now we are talking about electing a billionaire to run the country, truly, if there ever was class warfare, the rich and powerful have won. May this not last, it probably has to get worst before it gets better.

Fageddaboudit! He's a sure no-show. However deep his pockets may be.

Mayor Mike had an appealing no-nonsense style going for him for a few years there. But he's made some bad moves since then that have taken the bloom off the rose. That ill-conceived west-side development project was a major mistake; it carried a stong odor of Mike doing a favor for some of his wealthy developer buddies, And this new congestion tax has a lot of ordinary people p-o'd at His Honor. Not to mention the stacked-deck of a commission that's charged with evaluating the proposal. Bloomberg for President? Neva happen!

I am a recent Iraq war veteran. I am also a college student majoring in International Relations. For the last year or so I've been following the possibility of a Bloomberg candidacy, and at this point, if he makes the decison to throw in his lot, he has my vote. Neither of the traditional parties says much to me other than that I'm in for more-of-the-same mis-government. Their candidates are stale. Traditionally I have voted Republican ( two for Bush, to my chagrin), but that has been for a lack of better options. I sincerely hope that in '08 Mayor Bloomberg runs for the Presidency. He has my moderate vote.

This nation needs a chief executive who is more concerned with what is right and just instead of what is most popular. We need someone who can govern toward real results and true progress instead of party rhetoric and political agendas. We need someone who has the vision, experience and passion of a true and demonstrated leader. Bloomberg08nyc.com
