Dem foe says billionaire NYC mayor buys support Quote: Billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Democratic challenger bickered vigorously about money in city politics during their first debate, trading accusations about who has bought support and who has been bought. City Comptroller William Thompson Jr. accused Bloomberg, who's a philanthropist and the richest person in the city, of buying off New Yorkers by donating hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations that later back his policies. He said Bloomberg is spending an "obscene" amount of money on his campaign. The mayor has spent $64.8 million on his bid for a third term, while Thompson, who raises money, has spent about one-sixteenth of that. "The people of New York City aren't for sale," Thompson said. Bloomberg insisted that many organizations that get his money aren't aware he's the donor, and he said he's proud of his philanthropy. He gives away hundreds of millions of dollars every year and says he plans to keep giving. Bloomberg, meanwhile, said Thompson is owned by special interests, referring to reports that the comptroller — whose job includes overseeing the municipal pension fund system — took campaign funds from investment managers who do business with the city. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091014/...c_mayor_s_race

There's a tower leaning in Pisa Italy, Bloomberg could teach a few socialists lessons in liberalism. __________________ Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
