Mayor (Tsar) Bloomberg and his Trained Surrender Monkeys

This week David Yassky, my City Councilman, sent out his little newsletter and an email. Both were so clearly damage control from his disastrous betrayal of the voters when he sided with Quinn and Bloomberg on overturning the term limits voters placed on them. He is doing all he can to distract us from his betrayal. Well, I, for one, don't intend to be distracted.

Tsar Bloomberg and his Trained Surrender Monkeys (also called the Bloomberg 29) want us to surrender to THEM so they can continue on in power as long as they want.

Why do these people think they are our saviors during this economic collapse? They are so convinced of their powers to save us that they decided to sweep away the VOTER'S choice to impose term limits upon them and they voted themselves third terms. They are willing to say "screw you" to the very voters who elected them just to hold onto power. And their excuse is that no one, NO ONE in the entire city can save us from the economic collapse but them.

What unmitigated crap! What egotistical nonsense. This is the kind of dictatorial, anti-democratic bullshit I expect from Bush/McCain Republicans.

These people were IN OFFICE when the collapse came. They didn't do anything to prepare for it. They didn't do anything to warn us about it. They haven't done anything to help us.

In fact, Bloomberg supported the very national Republicans who got us into this mess with his donations (e.g. largest donor to Tom DeLay's PAC).

And yet these people think they, AND ONLY THEY, can save us.

I was opposed to term limits (though these actions by the Surrender Monkeys is convincing me otherwise!). But I AM for our elected politicians respecting us as voters and that is precisely what Bloomberg, Quinn, Yassky, Recchia and the others failed to do. We elect them and our taxes pay them, yet they treat us like dirt. And they expect us to see them as our saviors.

This election was about CHANGE, folks. Not keeping the same politicians who got us into this mess in power beyond their allotted terms. This election was all about the will of the people, not the dictatorial demands of politicians.

Tsar Bloomberg and his Trained Surrender Monkeys are out of step with America and are apparently opposed to the will of the voters. I expect that kind of dictatorial crap fromBloomberg. But for people like Quinn, Recchia and Yassky to claim they are Democrats while going so solidly against democratic principles is to me inexcusable. And I want to reiterate what the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats said to Bloomberg and his Trained Surrender Monkeys: we will not forgive and we will not forget.
