I got a call push-polling me to agree to reelect Mayor Bloomberg
here in NYC. It was from a call center, and the script went on and on about all the supposed things he's doing to help the economy and bring jobs to NYC, but it was deliberately vague on specifics. At the end you are asked if you will vote to reelect Mayor Bloomberg.

I can't imagine he's doing all of this out of the goodness of his heart. He doesn't seem to have one.

He must be finding a lot of creative ways to push the city budget into friends pockets and isn't done yet. He needs another term to finish setting them up with long term contracts to truly soak the city for the next full generation.

1. "He must be finding"...IOW you know nothing.
Why don't you come up with a few facts before you mouth off with sleazy suppositions?

Push polling is sleazy. How about that.

2. Oh, I've gotten those before...
"If you found out that Mayor Bloomberg's opponent regularly smokes crack, hires hookers, and stomps on kittens in 6" spike high heels while listening to Barney Frank, would that make you more or likely to vote for him?"
