Whatever Ronald Lauder does, Mayor Bloomberg plans to rush through a bill this month to permanently amend term limits, sources said today."They're really fast-tracking it because of the mounting opposition," said one insider.
A one-page bill that would change the terms of all elected city officials from eight to 12 years was introduced today in the City Council as opponents swarmed City Hall, denouncing the move as a "power grab."
Public hearings were scheduled hurriedly for Oct. 16 and 17. A vote is likely on Oct. 23.
BLOOMBERG IN RUSH FOR TERM LIMIT VOTE
Councilman Lew Fidler (D-Brooklyn), a leading supporter of the change, predicted the extension would ultimately be approved with 30 to 35 votes. The minimum needed is 26.
Meanwhile, one source said that some council members have asked permission to vote no, even though they privately support the bill and fully intend to seek third terms if it's enacted.
Meanwhile, Anthony Weiner is calling for outer borough hearings.

OINK, OINK, OINK!
The little piggies have already stuffed their faces with power helpings twice!
Now Bloomberg insists on a third portion without the permission of the host, THE VOTERS, who provided the table!
That's beyond coarse manners.
It's a treasonous attempt at an
END RUN AROUND DEMOCRACY!
It's time for the city council to heed the message of a double public referendum:
DUMP THE PORKERS!
"Meanwhile, one source said that some council members have asked permission to vote no, even though they privately support the bill and fully intend to seek third terms if it's enacted."
"Asked permission to vote no"? Who the hell did they ask? Did your council member ask you?
Did they ask Quinn for permission? Or, did they ask Commissar Death and Taxes?
These are our employees. We pay the bills. They have no job unless we give it to them. And, it's part time anyway.
Here's an idea: flush these turds off any ballot where their name appears.
Let's get the Roto-Rooter crew in here to rid us of all this stinking sewage - right down to the most infectious turd; Commissar Death and Taxes.
No TURD terms!
First Mayor Bum-berg
bought his 2 terms in office.
Now he wants to buy out democracy!
Kick that pint sized despot back to Boston if they'll have him!
And sweep his tyrant crew into the East River!
YOU BASTARDS IN THE COUNCIL
SERVE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ELECTORATE!
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH "CRAZY-GLUING YOUR LAZY ASSES TO YOUR CHAIRS SO WE CAN'T TOSS YOU OUT!
HELL,
WE'LL CARRY YOU OUT SEATS AND ALL!
WAIT UNTIL ALL THOSE "GOOD GOV'T" GROUPS (COMMON CAUSE, ETC.) BEGIN FILING THEIR LAWSUITS!
IN THE MEANTIME,
ANYBODY GOT A CROWBAR?
LET'S START PRYING UP SOME OF OUR RELUCTANT LEGISLATORS!
REFERENDUM OR REVOLUTION!
Wadda these council rats think,
that they're at an unlimited shrimp
fest buffet at Red Lobster!
You've had your two seatings
now pull you fat asses up and leave the chamber!
No rest room privileges on your way out either. They're only for patrons!
(Yeah, that's the ticket).
I cordially invite myself
and all of my faithful servants in the city council to unlimited
terms in office.
(I'm out to beat
Red Lobster's record).
Power 'till you puke!
Sigh....
I think Democracy has become passe!
Oops, my "I-pod" just broke too.
Maybe I've been tuning out
of my civic responsibilities for so, so long.
No officer,
I'm not a dangerous radical for voicing my opinions aainst Mayor Mike.
Why am I being handcuffed?
Quick,
somebody call 1-800-LAWYER for me!
Anyone familiar with that 1970s avant guard play set during the time frame of the French Revolution
"The Marat Sade"
(in it's abbreviated name)?
A little musical except
referring to the aristocracy:
"Those fat monkeys they're
swimming in bank notes...
They've got champagne
and brandy on tap....
They're up to their noses
in frank notes....
We're up to our eyeballs in crap"!
(Something like that).
The full name of that play,
I believe, was:
"The Persecution and Assassination Of John Paul Marat As Performed By The Inmates Of The Asylum At Charenton Under The Direction Of The Marquis De Sade"!
Whew...hence the shorter title!
How au currant!
See..."QC" can be a wealth of information and culture!
Calling Norman Siegel!
Is the NYCLU planning on suing "hizzoner"?
Any class action suits out there?
I'll gladly sign on!
I'll sign up too!
But no guillotines please!
It'll spoil the appearance of city hall for tourists.
Hey, I know that crazy play and remember a line from it!
"He wears the people's cap
but his underwear is embroidered with crowns"!
(In other words...
meaning an impostor, traitor
and turncoat...our city's own
Mayor Bloomberg)
FYI:
The peoples cap was a beret type hat with a circular ribbon of
RED WHITE & BLUE (American colors)
fastened to it.
This emblem was worn by the revolutionaries on their jackets also.
Reference to "crowns", of course, meant the aristocracy
(or "aristos" as they were called).
GO BACK TO BERMUDA YA BUM!
why dont you zealots spend some energy trying to elect new people rather than complaining on a blog?
This is a palace coupe by the wannabee ruling elite who want to make their temp jobs permanent!
If they succeed in obtaining their wish we will all become their perpetual pawns begging for crumbs!
GET INVOLVED AND STAY INVOLVED!
Don't tune out
on this very important issue!
Your quality of life is at stake!
THESE ELITIST/POLS ARE BOUND TO RAISE YOUR TAXES HIGHER to further enrich their wealthy pals!
WE DID ELECT A NEW MAYOR...
BLOOMBERG....some of us even voted for him twice.
NOW IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO.
HIS LEGAL CONTRACT WITH THE VOTERS HAS EXPIRED!
Now we're quite willing to elect a new mayor!
Mayor Mike, that bumbling "financial expert", let NYC fall under his own watch!
So why should we want him around
for another term?
Despite this egotist's notions about himself, he's not indispensable!
NYC will survive, maybe even prosper more, without him!
There was an even greater recession in 1837 but we're still here ain't we?
Go and read some history you CAU and "Parkside" boobs!
We can't "elect new people"
until the old trash is put out
to the curb!
Comprendo?
If the seats at City Hall
are still full-up with foul fakers
where are the new guys (and gals) gonna sit you putz?
First things first!
Because a tremendous volume of voters read "Queens Crap" to get the skinny on what's really going on.
They've learned to mistrust the clubhouse's prattle and the weak-lies news-rag's pronouncements.
Wadda ya think they're dumb enough to follow the CAU's lead?
Hello Natzli!
We'll complain all we like
because "Archie Bunker" won't be stifled!
Blogs help get the RIGHT KIND
of "new people" elected.
You know the type that serve their constituents' needs rather than their own and the clubhouse's!
This is the fresh new media where truth is spoken (unfettered) not where lies are printed or broadcast
by the team of Bloomberg and Murdoch!
Those old political "Archie" fossils have been sequestered in their clubhouse "Bunkers" too long...
eh Joe Crowley?
You guys don't understand yet
that your sub-rosa racist agenda days are already numbered!
A nasty bunch....using easily tweeded immigrants only for their votes then
proceed to ignore them afterwards!
IT is all member items funds, our money
Felder council committee fast tracking a bill for a third term
From the Daily News
Mr. Felder pulled in the most member item money from the mayor, collecting more than $1.9 million for 19 organizations.

This is where revolutions begin and despots are deposed. Ask the question. Are you to become a willing accomplice in the demise of true democracy, or are will you fight to preserve it. The people have spoken twice. This is the last act of a desperate man.
Qudos to QC for becoming the true voice of the people, whatever their point of view might be.
"This is the fresh new media where truth is spoken (unfettered) not where lies are printed or broadcast

Oy gevault! God help us all if that is the case. I'll just continue to read from as many different press outlets as possible, form an opinion...and then post my bitchings here.
Bottom line, let Bloomberg do whatever he wants. For disclosure's sake, I think he is the best to deal over the next 4 years until I see otherwise. If you don't like the term limit stuff, simply vote him out in the primary. If that doesn't work, vote him out in the election.

Actually, most of us "zealots" are completely capable of doing several things simultaneously.
We "complain" to let others know about the danger.
It seems that you just spent energy uselessly to whine that there are folks who think you are a moron. In case you didn't understand: You are a moron!
This ZOG prick remindes of HITLER !!
It wouldnt suprise me if we have another terrrist attack and Bush stays in office as well
In 1975, when that News page first appeared, a 12-point drop on the Dow was a 'skid'...
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the daaaaaaaays.....
