Bloomberg Wants to be a Kingmaker

New York City’s billionaire Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has decided he wants to be a political kingmaker http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/nyreg ... mberg.html using his own deep pockets plus his rich friends. He’s unhappy about the remarkable success of the Tea Partiers in nominating conservative candidates, and he wants to remake the Republican Party under the label Moderate.

His first foray into this venture is to host a fundraiser for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. That alone should disqualify him from respectability in the Republican Party. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/nyreg ... mberg.html

Other Democrats Bloomberg is endorsing include the candidates for Colorado Governor and Senator, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. Bloomberg says his idea of how the Senate should function is the 40-year collaboration of the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT).

Bloomberg is famous for getting the New York City Council to allow him to run for a third term as Mayor, despite the city’s two-term limit. He won with only 51% despite spending a ridiculous $185 per vote. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09 ... g-records/

Bloomberg plans to finance candidates who agree with him in supporting abortion, same-sex marriage, suffocating gun control, and amnesty for illegal aliens, but keep silent about the social issues in the hope that voters won’t notice these candidates’ rejection of conservative principles. But the Ronald Reagan model for victory requires a coalition of active fiscal, national defense, and social conservatives, and Republicans will be losers if they don’t stick to that winning formula and rejoice that, as Time Magazine’s cover announces this week, “It’s Tea Party Time.â€
