1. Banned big gulps

2. Had salt removed from restaurant tables

3. Blew up term limits so he could run for a 3rd term

4. Blocked Giuliani from running for a 3rd term

Mike gets it done!

I know it's trash Bloomberg time here because he's running against Trump but he was a great mayor who built and expanded on what Guiliani started. Forget the big gulps and other stupid little shite he was VERY conservative by New York City standards.

That was a city law (two term limit) well before Bloomberg ran for mayor in 2001.

Do you even listen to yourself? Those things you call stupid little shite, is actually the destruction of the Liberty of Americans. The founding principles of this country are freedom, and liberty. There are no conservative standards for New York City. An actual conservative would throw up his guts, seeing the ingrained Marxism, and government over the people philosophy they live by.

tl/dr: Pull the other one, it plays jingle bells.

I was blasted on this board over the weekend for saying that I would take him back as mayor over our current idiot any day. To the trailer park crew around here, that makes me a "liberal" despite the fact that my politics generally put me only slightly to the left of Gabriele D'Annunzio.

My moderate to liberal mother in law from New Orleans used to make annually shopping trips to NYC for clothes and art until Mayor Ban got going.

She still made trips to London and Paris annually but stopped going to NYC.

Yup. And the main proponents for term limits in the 80s and 90s immediately dropped those views and support Bloomberg 3rd term for political favors and appointments.

I was a chef for 23 years and salt on the table has nothing to do with seasoning the food properly. yer as dumb as bloomberg and his farmer comment.

Not running 5000 Amazon jobs away is conservative by NYC standards. Dude has control issues. All little men do.
