Yep.

Bloomberg is a Republican but behaves like a liberal democrat.
With all due respect, you're part of the reason that these guys are in office. Regarding the second comment concerning (D) folks voting (R), I think they have a long way to go before they wake up,

As a former Ranger, I know what you're talking about, but I still don't get it. Other than the union bosses telling guys to vote D, it sounds like most of your key issues could be dealt with better by a Republican. There's no doubt that some of the Iron Range legislators are very pro 2a, but a Ranger or rural Minnesotan voting D on a national level makes absolutely no sense to me.

Get the (R)'s to embrace science, stay away from women's bodies and stay out of the bedroom would be a good way to ensure I never vote (D) again...

A Democrat before seeking elective office, Bloomberg switched his party registration in 2001 to run for mayor as a Republican. He defeated opponent Mark Green in a close election held just weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Bloomberg won a second term in 2005 and left the Republican Party two years later. He campaigned to weaken the city's term limits law and was elected to his third term in 2009 as an independent candidate on the Republican ballot line.
