this person obviously did more research than mr. friedlander. however, i think mr. friedlander was ick of sticking with the losers, and he sees that de blasio has a chance, that was enough research for mr. friedlander.

i urge everyone to remember the mr. dinkins was a failure to all of ny. who was an advisor? mr. de blasio. so what does that say for him?

mr. friedlander go back to work.

We have observed that it’s no coincidence that Ezra Friedlander always backs the unqualified, and or the low lifer. That’s what politics is all about, I guess.

Friedlander is a Ma Yufisnik. He has worked for people like Mark Green, David Weprin, and Christine Quinn. If he would have been older when Dinkins ran, I could see him endorsing Dinkins as well, with some of the same arguments that he uses now.

We don’t need such self appointed spokesmen.

Most people, askonim included, are very small minded. They think that you can get something for nothing. Don’t you realize that this approach to government means uncle sam spending our money and borrowing on our name for all kinds of stupidities? every single purchase you’ll make in the store will be paying for your heilige food stamps…

The reality is that each group is interested in only their provincial issues(how much money etc they can extract from the gov.). When citywide issues are addressed and improved, then the whole community benefits. Mayor Dinkins was elected because he made promises to small groups but was a disaster. Under Giuliani and Bloomberg, the city prospered.
I wonder that if all our hard working baalei batim would be meticulous in maaser, perhaps we can take care of own social and modos needs without askonim involved in government funds. Prosperity and less taxation spells more tzedaka for us.
