Early returns indicate de Blasio leads in NYC mayoral primary; unclear if he’ll avoid

[TakeAStepBack]

His plan is full of empty rhteoric that will never materialize in this city. But that's what most American's love when it comes to election time. Talks of utopia that are about as realistic as me bringing my idea of a fart-run lawn mower to fruition.

Empty rhetoric seems to be a winning strategy in NYC.

That's correct.

Mr de Blasio’s message is not new, and many New Yorkers seem not to care. Only about 650,000 of the city’s 8m residents bothered to vote. Although Democrats outnumber Republicans, New Yorkers have voted for a Republican or an independent in the past five mayoral elections.

Bill de Blasio and the Jews

September 24, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

Bill de Blasio won 38% of the Jewish vote in the New York City Democratic Primary. Despite the liberal reputation of Jewish voters in the Big Apple, these numbers were roughly even with those of other religions and demographics.

The latest Marist poll, which shows de Blasio with a 43% lead, also shows the Jewish vote leaning toward him by only 55%. Republican challenger Joe Lhota scores 36% of the Jewish vote — his best numbers among any group except White Catholics (41%) and Conservatives (39%).

De Blasio’s weak polling may reflect the growing numbers of New York City’s Orthodox Jews, who tend toward a natural conservatism, but it may also reflect wariness toward any candidate who favors undermining the police and dispensing with the city’s needed fiscal reforms.

Bill de Blasio’s Open Door for Terrorists

October 18, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

“I want at least 1,000 to 2,000 to die in one day,” Shahawar Siraj told an NYPD informant.

The Pakistani illegal alien and Muslim bookstore employee was discussing his plans to kill as many New Yorkers as possible. “I’m going to f___ this country very bad.”

But before Siraj and his collaborator could bomb the 34th Street subway station, they were arrested. Their plans to bomb the subway and Macy’s came to nothing. But under Bill de Blasio, the New York Police Department would never have been allowed to lay a finger on them.

...

Under Bill de Blasio, the investigations that prevented the mass murder of New Yorkers would never have been allowed. Bill de Blasio, the left-wing candidate for Mayor of New York City, has once again reiterated that he will not allow proactive surveillance of Muslim terror suspects and terror mosques.

“The efforts of surveillance have to be based on specifically specific information,” Bill de Blasio said. The standard of “specifically specific information” would have led to the deaths of countless New Yorkers.

During the primary, Bill de Blasio tried to hide his radical pro-terrorist views by claiming that he wouldn’t interfere with the NYPD’s counter-terrorism efforts. Now that he’s the nominee and ahead in the polls, he feels comfortable enough to tell New Yorkers that he will not allow the NYPD to protect them from Muslim terrorists.

De Blasio, Far Ahead in New York Mayoral Polls, Talks of Mandate; Lhota Hopes for Upset​

By JAVIER C. HERNÁNDEZ and DAVID W. CHEN
Published: November 4, 2013

Concerned that his overwhelming lead in the race to be New York mayor could depress voter turnout, Bill de Blasio on Monday warned supporters against complacency as he sought to win with a decisive mandate that could propel his liberal agenda.

...

Mr. de Blasio, who leads by more than 40 points in some polls, is hoping to ride the wave of populist momentum that has sustained him since September, when he emerged from a crowded field to win the Democratic nomination for mayor. An overwhelming victory might help him win support for his long list of policy ideas, including his signature proposal — a plan to raise taxes on wealthy residents to pay for an expansion of prekindergarten and after-school programs.

“We need Bill de Blasio to have a mandate,” Rubén Díaz Jr., the Bronx borough president, said during Mr. de Blasio’s appearance in the Bronx. “We need to make sure his numbers are so high that no one can ever question his message.”

Labor unions vowed to do their best to turn out the vote. For example, George Gresham, the president of 1199 SEIU, the health care workers’ union, said volunteers would be knocking on the doors of more than 100,000 of his union’s members.

di Blasio is a fucking commie simp married to a dyke. That would be the kiss of death anywhere else (OK maybe not mASS) but in NY they dont care. We're back to the policies of David Dinkins and the Crown Heights riots.
Yes, he is "tax the rich" and "universal pre-K" and other nostrums of the Left that have failed every single time.
At least NY booted Wiener and Spitzer.

4 years of de Blasio will ensure that New York City will vote Republican for at least 5 election cycles.

NYC Elects a Communist Mayor

Wednesday, November 6, 2013


Bill de Blasio will be the next mayor of the nation’s largest and most important city.

He will be the first Democratic mayor of New York City since 1993, when Rudy Giuliani defeated David Dinkins amid high crime rates and racial strife. De Blasio worked in Dinkins’ City Hall, and prior to that volunteered with the radical socialist Sandinista movement in Nicaragua.

At age 26, de Blasio “went to Nicaragua to help distribute food and medicine in the middle of a war between left and right. But he returned with something else entirely: a vision of the possibilities of an unfettered leftist government,” according to the New York Times.

De Blasio, who currently holds the largely symbolic position of “public advocate,” will now have the chance to put that vision in action. He campaigned far to the left of his opponents in the Democratic primary, promising to roll back education reforms opposed by teachers unions and raise the city’s already high taxes.
