Bloomberg's support for the war in Iraq, linking it to the 9/11 attacks, his position on Wolfowitz, etc., the content of his own 2002 speech at the UN, if he isn't a neocon, and he is a suitable "Unitary" candidate, I'll stop posting at TFP politics.
You have offered nothing to support your argument that Bloomberg, when it comes to foreign policy, civil liberties, the war "on terror", and the war in Iraq, has taken centrist positions. |
host, nothing against what you have posted, but bloomberg, just like guliani, will pander to any crowd for a vote. 9/11 this, iraq war that, blah blah blah. He's new york city mayor, a city that had to directly deal with the 9/11 attacks. He's using it to woo his local constituency, garner general republican support, and will flip flop as soon as it's vote count efficient for him.
In other words, he may be acting like a neo con for the most part now, but he will change those spots the second he finds himself in a position that he doesn't need to be a neocon.
