#NeverBloomberg

Know who we're getting mighty fed up with? Michael Bloomberg. Although he's a Republican, the former New York City mayor is seeking the Democratic nomination for President. The billionaire oligarch has flooded the TV airwaves with ads taking credit for things he had absolutely nothing to do with. He can't run on his real record, which includes expanding stop-and-frisk and supporting the Iraq War. We call him Meow Mix Mike because he supported the Catfood Commission - a committee that endorsed the Tea Party's plan to slash Social Security.

Even after getting only 0.12% in Iowa, the media is still cheering him on. This despite a trail of offensive statements that anyone can verify. For example, Bloomberg once said, "If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they'd go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale's." When someone told me he said this, I thought they were mistaken and that it was actually a Trump quote. But no. It was Meow Mix Mike. Do an Internet search for it.

The last thing America needs is for a racist Tea Party billionaire who makes chauvinistic remarks to be the Democratic nominee for President. Of course we can do better, but the media is doing whatever it can to prevent that - his humiliating 0.12% in Iowa notwithstanding.

#NeverBloomberg. Never, ever, ever.
