Are we all so used to the fact that Mike’s rhetoric has nothing to do with actions that it is no longer worthy of comment?
On Thursday, Mike spoke to a pro-choice group and the press reported:
“On this issue, you’re either with us or you’re not. Period. You can’t have it both ways," said Bloomberg, a Republican, in a passionate noon address before the liberal NARAL Pro-Choice New York. "We can’t let anybody equivocate."
Bloomberg said pro-choice supporters must stand tall against elected officials who "try to nuance themselves" away from a commitment to abortion rights "in the interest of political expediency and partisan politics."

I checked to see which Senators & Congressmen Mike has contributed to in the last 4 years and found the following, all of whom received 0 ratings from NARAL, the group Mike was addressing:
Senator Mel Martinez
Senator John McCain
Senator Richard Shelby
Congressman Vito Fossella
Congressman Peter King
Congressman Hal Rogers
Congressman Jim Walsh
On second thought, maybe Mike was not being hypocritical in his comments. After all, nobody can accuse someone with a 100% anti-choice voting record with trying to nuance themselves.
