He’s a communist. The people chose him, and they got what they deserved.

Pandering to Obama’s socialism to level the playing field. They will legalize marijuana for medical purpose, then up the ante like Colorado did. “Soma” in action to keep the sheeple “happy”.

Finally changed his name legally in 2002 “when the discrepancy was noted during an election”.

What Mayor Ed Koch said after being defeated in the 1989 primary by David Dinkins applied today:

"The people have spoken ... and they must be punished."

In 1964, my Navy ship went to NYC for the world’s fair.

The city was clean and sailors in uniform were welcomed as NYCers remembered the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Go forward to 1970/71, after 6 years of LBJ’s war on poverty, NYC became a cess pool of filth and violence.

Thanks to liberals in DC and NYC, Fidel Castro and his serial killer Che became heroes.

Thanks to the liberal like John Kerry and Jane Fonda, active duty military and reservists were ordered not to wear their uniforms in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Portland and Gay Frisco.

Then the rot due to the war on Poverty began to ruin most of our major cities. We have spent over 15 Trillion $’s* on the most expensive and never ending war, LBJ’s war on poverty.

*Taxpayers Have Spent $15 Trillion on ‘War on Poverty’ http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/05/BOOMTOWN-2-Taxpayers-Have-Spent-15-Trillion-On-The-War-on-Poverty - Since President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared “war on poverty,”.

The average NYC IQ was cut in half the day Rush left there.

RE: “The people have spoken ... and they must be punished.”

And they were...

That’s why they came to their senses after 4 years and voted in Rudy Giuliani.

The election of DiBlasio proves that deep down liberals never escape their inner stupidity concerning common sense. They can't resist supporting some leftist dope who has ties with enemies of the U.S. who promises liberal pie in the sky miracles which, like other lib promises, will never be realized. Libs just can't help themselves.

You'd think with the experience of Lindsay, Dinkins, and the other lib nightmare mayors, New Yorkers would be somewhat savvy about these things. And I'll wager a great percentage of the 75% who voted for their commie mayor were around when Disaster Dinkins was mayor. You can only shake your head.

You nailed a point I made regarding the Chinese potentially buying up Detroit. The first successful Chinese business would be immediately looted, owners called racist, etc. Obama's people would never tolerate it. It is a self-fulfilling prophesy and it is sad that it is not obvious to anyone who has been paying attention.

The most interesting thing about New York is that when they move the financial distrct out of there, it is over. People with any money or sense would never go back to that pack of hungry wolves. DeBlas'e is just the leader of the wolf pack!

Doubt it; the rest of the nation is not ignorant that they think of NY as a victim. NY voted this idiot in and now they should be made to rebuild their own economy and not leech off of the responsible.

The wealth will flee, but the communist idiot policies and moron culture is what will be brought with those fleeing. All those celebrities will be looking for a new playground, along with the corrupt elite and other idiots who made living in New York impossible if you’re just someone who has a basic job.

This time though, a skilled and intelligent and energetic candidate won’t want to put in the work of cleaning up a mess and decide to bypass running for Mayor. It’s the same reason we were stuck with Obama and Mittens; no sane person wants to keep fixing things, only to see it all fall apart once the people who wanted the mess fixed elect another idiot who lets all that hard work end up not making one ounce of difference.
