How did I get censored here? Every one posting here is saying what I wrote, to some degree. All I said was "no one listens to Ed Koch anymore. Certainly not John Liu". What is the problem with that?

We, I think we, were robo-called by former Mayor Koch to vote for Mayor Bloomburg just about 1/2 hour before his debate with Mr. Thompson on Channel 1, the local NYC station, started by the former employees of the last "news massacre" in TV City. After all the other ads for the hospital Ed Koch was in, praising his second chance that the heart surgery brought, I found it clear who he supported for the "second hardest job in America" and "I should know" but he didn't make a point that he had served the city for twelve (12) years himself, before the voted on "term limits". However I found myself in sympathy with the problems of the over 100,000 Hispanic run stores in NYC, and wondered why the law recently up before the City Council, to stop the "under-the-table" cash for leases, was not discussed by either candidate, though that's up to a debate moderator isn't it?

There's a HUGE difference between "working together" and being a PROP in a bygones be bygones PHOTO OP.

Liu is sending a clear message that Comptroller is an independendtly elected position, and not a Commissioner (Commissar?) under Emperor Bloomberg.

Given that Liu got more votes, perhaps it is LIU who should be doing the inviting.

Even Koch, Guiliani and Bloomberg, try as they might, can't remove the soul of the greatest city ever, but when you see how they created a financial caste system, you can't deny that they had a negative impact.

What is an "outrage" is how Koch treated his ex-lover who died of Aids

Yes everyone bow before King Bloomberg, we must all subjugate ourselves and kiss his rear.

5 borough plan:
-Manhattan and immediately adjoining neighborhoods get glamorized; everywhere else gets the remnants.
-Moms and pops go away; chains now welcome.
-MTA improves commuter lines while subways rot and bus lines suffer.

Liu is a good guy. He has too much integrity to kiss King Bloomberg's ring.
