Is Michael Bloomberg a Chamber of Commerce politician?
If you take into account that, sometimes, there are three parties and that if the first two are the Republican and Democratic party, and the third party tends to be a major special interest group which co-opts either of the first two, would Bloomberg be considered a member of the third if the third were the Chamber of Commerce?*

It's obvious that party status means nothing to him, so I'm trying to figure out if he has stripes, spots or if he's calico.

*Disclaimer: I'm using loose language here, because the Libertarian Party is also known to co-opt the parties as well.

2. Who alines himself to Bloomberg.
Only if you got money. First he was a good democrat. Then he had a chance to run for mayor of New York. But the democratic spot was taken .... so what does he do....he joins the republicans. Then he wants to run for president and the democrats and the republicans have a crowded field...what does he do he jumps over to be an Independent...what next...????

Feed the corporations. He lives to hand out favors to big business, mega-developers, and the super-rich, and the regular people can go f** themselves. Watching what has been happening to NYC and his cavalier attitude towards is mind-boggling. To be fair, he is good on social issues and the environment, but his corporate whoring is disgusting. Hell, he is a multinational corporation, so what do you expect?
