Stupid motherfucker.

June 20 (Bloomberg) –– New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg switched his voter registration to independent, ending his affiliation with the Republican Party.

``I have filed papers with the New York City Board of Elections to change my status as a voter and register as unaffiliated with any political party,'' Bloomberg said in a statement yesterday. ``Although my plans for the future haven't changed, I believe this brings my affiliation into alignment with how I have led and will continue to lead our city.''

Bloomberg, 65, was a lifelong Democrat until becoming a Republican to prepare for his 2001 mayoral race.

Bloomberg, a billionaire, has said that he intends to establish a philanthropic foundation when he leaves office in 2009. He reneged and had the city council change the rules so he could run for a 3rd term.

........Still, during his six years in office, Bloomberg has often found himself at odds with the national Republican Party in his pro-choice views on abortion, his advocacy of gun control, his promotion of gay rights and stem cell research and his support for the United Nations. Moreover, he has publicly endorsed Democrats such as Senators Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Claire McCaskill of Missouri. But hey, pull the lever for him anyway, he's (was) a REPUBLICAN!

......................

Bloomberg's registering as an independent ``just probably gives him some options,'' said Stu Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report in Washington. ``Maybe he's made a decision about his future, but maybe he wants to take some time to decide,'' Rothenberg said. ``This would be a better jumping off point for an independent presidential bid than spending another year as a Republican when really nobody thinks of him as a Republican anyway  except the 'tards who vote for him.''

...................

``We are sorry to hear of his decision,'' said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.

New York State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, a Republican, said Bloomberg built a ``remarkable record in office and has delivered results because of his tremendous ability to work with people of all political parties and persuasions.''
