I also like his idea of re emphasizing/rebuilding technical and vocational schools.At least he is thinking outside the box.He probably would be a better,more interesting general election candidate than Lhota,who I could never vote for under any circumstances

Now your talking. He is big on tech/voc schools and other things people dont think about. The college lie has been told far too long, the market is saturated with useless degrees. It's not for everyone, some people do better on a different path and make more money as well. And in a general election, call me crazy but he would get more support across party lines the Lhota. People hate Lhota nobody hates Cats, he is a likable guy...

New Yorkers tend to vote differently from national elections to local elections. Some one from Howard Beach may vote republican during a Mayoral election but also may vote democrat during a national election. Also plenty of NY republicans are vastly different than mainstream conservative republicans. Republicans here are just as liberal as your average democrat. I can see Lhota picking up moderate democrats.

Maybe 1 or 2

There was one poll done,back in July, asking who people would vote for in a theoretical de Blasio v. Lhota race.I think it was an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.Anyway,de Blasio was on top by 37%.

That was a long time ago of course and it's hard to believe an actual election being so lopsided but still,Lhota will have to overcome a lot,especially his own personality and his seemingly blind and tone deaf allegiance to the negative aspects of Herr Bloomberg.

If there is anything that is abundantly clear so far in this process, it is that the vast majority of NY'ers are yearning for a different direction.It's time for someone to pay attention the forgotten Ny'ers , the forgotten neighborhoods and the forgotten school system. Trying to sell oneself as an extension or continuation of Bloomberg is suicidal.The only thing that might make things interesting is that Bloombucks will likely funnel millions and millions and millions of his own money into a Lhota campaign, to try to save his "legacy". Unlimited financial resources could help Lhota a lot.I'm sure the ads ,paid for by Bloombucks ,attacking de Blasio ,will be relentless.

I actually think both Catsimatidis and McDonald would make stronger R candidates.At least they have pleasing personalities and have voiced some different ideas.

I am in no need of your respect, but the truth shall set you free.

You sound just like some of the white racists here alleging that all Blacks have magic access to all these jobs and educational programs via affirmative action. Mind you, these racists are often nowhere near academia or a major corporation and certainly not near admissions or HR.
No actually, I provided information that many people are very much aware of. Zionists are in full control of the global financial markets, the education system, and many other systems.

Quote:

So, have you worked for the Fed? Do you have any actual knowledge of the Fed? Don't talk about any libraries, bookstores, or anything of that nature. All of that info at best is SECOND HAND.
Absolutely, I'm an ex employee of the federal reserve bank of NY.

Quote:
So do you have any real nature of the fed from working for the fed or working in financial services?
Yes
Quote:

Any idiot could read a book. That's not demonstrative of any actual knowledge on a subject or field. Mere reading or consumption isn't the same as being able to produce one's own work, nor does it necessarily mean you have any actual knowledge of the field.
When someone makes a claim, --even if it makes me uncomfortable, I do my own research. Sometimes the research is very minimal, but other times, depending on the claim, I exert more time to understand the subjecdt. I especially love it when I'm presented with information that I simply don't believe, because it makes me work harder to find "credible" sources that allow me to either prove or disprove the claims made.
Quote:
So talk of arcane books or mysterious sources of information. If you want to present proof the fed is privately owned, again please list what stock exchange its stock is traded on, and what symbol it trades under.
I didn't list any arcane sources. Actually, I provided you a video of congressman Ron Paul, who actually serves as the financial services oversight committee chair. If the oversight committee chair is stating that the federal reserve is a private corp, and you are stating that the source is not valid, I don't know what else to tell you, but your level of ignorance is certainly astounding!

Quote:
I also think you underestimate how easy it is to write a book, self publish it on Amazon, and even stock it in a few bookstores. I've already done that myself. So just the fact that its in a book in a bookstore in and of itself means ABSOLUTELY nothing.
There are many people who make all sorts of claims. I understand this --however I am providing direct information, because I have worked for the entity.

Anyhow, it's often difficult to convey the truth, because most are just too dumb to understand. This is the real reason why the world is on a downward spiral. You have access (and I imagine time) to conduct your own research, but of course, it's unimportant and just one big silly "racist" conspiracy.

Please carry on...

Well the irony is, de blasio (a white man) has taken better care of his mixed race (black looking) son, than many of the black men throughout NYC.

I am not really a fan of any politician; however, I have always been willing to research topics, to discover the truth.
