NYC is full of Liberals. The only way a Republican can get elected is if he is very Moderate.
I don't exactly live in the city either however I do still go there each day. I don't care for some of Bloombergs policies but the city could be in far worse hands. Half a loaf is better then none and Bloomberg is just that half a loaf. He is good on crime and he watches the numbers but its his social positions that make me sick. A few years ago people cleared the Republicans out of Washington to teach them a lesson. The lesson was ours because we now more or less have one party rule that is doing everything but what the public really wants. Its not enough to wish politicians we do not like loose we need to have something better lined up to take their place or we will most likely end up with something worse.
I agree with this statement except the social positions thing. He's a good economist and a good Jewish businessman. He's good on crime, too. But at times, he's just too Moderate for me. Rudy Guliani was a good mayor and this guy is like a more Moderate version of him.
What you guys have to remember is that NYC is SO LEFTIST that I even have Liberals coming up to me and saying that they don't support Bloomberg because he is TOO RIGHT-WINGED. Wtf are they doing in America then? Bloomberg would be a Moderate or Center-Rightist in American terms. Yes he's a Right-Winger in European terms but look at Europe. They're screwed up because of the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats who rule the place.
