Billionaires for Bloomberg
Am I the only one who thinks that this week’s mainstream media hype about the possible meeting to appoint Mike Bloomberg as the Unity08 presidential candidate - without any Democratic process - is a mountain of hype? It seems that Bloomberg is pulling his media connections to whip up a frenzy from the top down rather than from the bottom up.
It’s a shocking use of blatant power to grab more blatant power, and it seems that the pundits are being given positive-only talking points to praise Mike Bloomberg to the skies, overlooking his connection to government spying programs and mass imprisonment of large numbers of completely innocent people during the 2004 Republican presidential convention.
They’re even celebrating Michael Bloomberg’s ability to purchase an election, as if it’s a luxury item for sale. As a billionaire, Bloomberg can pay for his own campaign, they say, and not have to bother with getting support from any actual voters.
That’s supposed to be a good thing?!?
This bumper sticker mocks the growing media hype around Michael Bloomberg, reminding voters that Bloomberg is of the rich, by the rich and for the rich. In 2008, the only Bloomberg for President campaign we will support is Billionaires for Bloomberg.
