An independent candidate wouldn't have the stripes of Republicans or the spots of Democrats. Bloomberg has both and any person that holds a dual citizenship - in this case USA / Israel - should be unqualified to hold ANY public office. I want to hear a clear renouncement of any "citizenship" other than American, whether it is birthright, a pursued dual citizenship, or a bestowed citizenship.

I also don't think Bloomberg will find much traction with his self-supposed notion that he is an independent or that he bridges the gaps between ideologies. He has given hundreds of thousands to elect Republicans in the past eight years. He arrested and illegally held peaceful protesters during the RNC in NYC. He is hostile to freedom of speech and particularly progressive and liberal freedom of speech. You wouldn't know if you haven't actively protested anthinbg in New York. His illegal use of video taping peaceful protesters (a legal challenge brought by his own City'S PBA) is a good indication of his acceptance of domestic surveillance.

The guy has done NOTHING for the middle class in NYC and has no record to run on in regard to bolstering it nationwide. He is YET ANOTHER pro-corporate candidate. Pro-business. Pro-wealth. Pro-elitist. He throw's a bone to lower income constituencies once in a while to shut up the poor black and hispanic communities when they become agitated.

What has he given us? Stadiums. Whoopdee doo. That's his legacy.
