It's voting day. Reverend Billy is glad he ran

go Bloomy go, buy another election you crook

There's more than Coke and Pepsi (and Billy) to choose from. A total of 9 candidates for Mayor - but, like Billy says, you'd have to look hard to find that.

reverend billy has about as much chance as elliot spitzer's next gubernatorial run

I remember when this joker led a major protest about the new Starbucks that was rumored to be opening at the corner of North 5th and Bedford Avenue. A Starbucks had never even been considered, much less planned, for the site.

um...JIMMY MCMILLAN Y'ALL!

RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

check the song out...

you people know that before guiliani, we had no term limits right?

first off, thompson is an absolute baffoon and a complete loser. why would you want to get rid of a politician who does a decent job after 8 years? if you don't think he's a good mayor, don't vote for him.

he's a self made billionaire. if he wants to outspend thompson by 16x, he's entitled to do that.

Bloomie did his 2 terms - now he can move along. In a city of 8 million people, there are other equally qualified candidates. Bloomie should be big enough to see that himself.

New York voters did not approve of dropping the term limits. That change was made without voter approval with lowlife behind-the-door political maneuvering.

The Mass Media sucks up to the candidate with the most cash and does little to promote other candidates. The Mass Media likes the Coke/Pepsi (2-party) system -- it's in their best interests. But not ours.

MEHyor

Coke and Pepsi are vastly different. Is that what we're all getting at here?

If you want to save our local government's money, vote for the only candidate willing to eliminate the unnecessary position of Public Advocate.: Jim Lesczynski

http://www.nyccfb.info/public/voter-guide/general_2009/cd_profile/PA_Lesczynski_424.aspx

"Want to save the taxpayers of New York City millions of wasted tax dollars every year? Simply eliminate the position of Public Advocate, fire the staff, and board up the offices. The Public Advocate is a do-nothing job that was designed to give empty-suit politicians a place to grandstand."

"If I am elected Public Advocate, I promise to report to work just long enough to fire the staff and padlock the office."

And there is a candidate eager to get rid of the equally wasteful and useless office of Borough President: David Casavis

http://www.nyccfb.info/public/voter-guide/general_2009/cd_profile/BPM_Casavis_1372.aspx

"The elimination of the Borough Presidency. It is privilege without responsibility."

"The road to eliminating this office runs through Manhattan. Of all boroughs, it has the least excuse for keeping the job. Given that the past six mayors of New York City lived in Manhattan, the claim that Manhattan Borough President is the mayor of Manhattan is ludicrous."

^^^ quack.

"Bloomie did his 2 terms - now he can move along. In a city of 8 million people, there are other equally qualified candidates. Bloomie should be big enough to see that himself."
Oh there is? Can you name one of these equally qualified candidates?
Just relax and wait for the rent check from your parents to arrive.

What was Bloomie's political office experience prior to being Mayor? None. He was a successful businessman - there's no shortage of those in this town.

If Bloomie really cared about NYC, he would move along.

If he really cared, he'd spend his money on the people of New York. Not his ego.

the rent is too damn high -- bring the rent down!

vote jimmy mcmillan!

it's already the 3rd of november and i STILL haven't recieved my rent check for november from daddy! help!

What time does Daft Punk run?

"Just relax and wait for the rent check from your parents to arrive. "

How cute, a Bloomberg voter making fun of rich people.

everything is great here, please move all along

To all those who say it was backdoor dealing that allowed him to run for a third term, it was not. One of the legitimate functions of the City Council is to determine the status of term limits. It is an issue that can be decided by both a referendum and the city council.

The economy is in the tanker and so far Bloomberg has shielded New York from a lot of shit that hitting other cities.

Crime is still low, schools are doing better, taxes have stayed relatively the same... I see no need to change admirals mid-ship...

who decides it's "mid-ship"?

^^^^^
Excellent point, 4:31.

"One of the legitimate functions of the City Council is to determine the status of term limits."

This was a case of exchanging political favors - one hand washing the other. This decision had nothing to do with the best interests of New Yorkers.

Democracies don't have Kings For Life. Bloomie should finish his duty and get off the throne.

fuck Bloomberg for playing both sides, shit or get off the pot, you corporate Republican fuck

bloomberg bought a cookie from some kid for $1 today at the school he voted at. you would have thought he would have given the kid a twenty. bloomberg actually had a one dollar bill in his pocket.
