Viva Miguel !

Today the New York City Council, by a 29-22 vote, agreed to extend the current term limits from 2 terms to 3. This opens the door for Mayor Mike Bloomberg to run for a third term. Since he is a billionaire and has unlimited financial resources to run his campaign, it will be very difficult for anyone to defeat him in 2009. The members of the City Council who voted for this are nothing more than political hacks, no one more so than Speaker Christine Quinn. What were these whores promised by Bloomberg? One can only imagine. This vote was an end-run around the voters, who have voted not once but twice in the past for term limits. This time, it was not brought before the people. So what does this say to voters? We are always told, "You must vote. Every vote counts. People died to preserve your right to vote". Well, not in New York City. In New York City, billionaires call the tune and the City Council dances like some old 1920's tap dancing stage hoofers. And the people? Why not listen to the people? 'Cause Screw 'em, that's why... Hey, let's vote this billionaire dictator out of office as soon as we can.
