It struck me the other day that Mike Bloomberg is the last “real” Republican; i.e. in the sense that he runs a tight a fiscal ship, wants government to stay out of personal lives (libertarians would cite the smoking policies as a major exception), he sells out the poor, he fights the unions and he’s business friendly. Now, I’m not saying I’m a Bloombergy fan, but imagine if guys like him had control of the GOP for the last decade instead of the tag team of of the fundies and neocons.
