Bloomberg for VP?
posted by toosinbeymen
Beware anyone saying Bloomberg's been an awesome NYC mayor without siting his some of his actions. He was in charge when:
* The NYPD went nuts on RNC demonstrators jailing 1800 for the entire convention in a bus garage.
* The police took extreme actions against anti-Iraq war demonstrators before and shortly after the war began. The NYPD jailed them, infiltrated them, abrogated their right of free speech, and prevented most of them from following their approved route.
* There was intense persecution of a group promoting bicycle riding in the City, Critical Mass, including infiltration by NYPD.
* Donnell Library was sold off to build a hotel in Midtown as well as hours severely cut back.
* Washington Square Park was renovated to prevent people from gathering to sing and play musical instruments at the central fountain.
* After losing interest in running for president, he immediately went to Albany to help out Republican state legislators.
My question, would it be McSame or Obama that would tap Bloomberg?
