Hypocrisy Alert At The DNC

As many of you recall, earlier this year John McCain called for a gas tax holiday for the Summer. It was to give us somewhat of a break from the high prices we've been experiencing at the pump. Clinton liked it, Obama and other Democrats didn't and said it was not a good idea. They claimed that oil companies would only raise the price to make up the difference, not offering relief at all. It seems the Democrats don't like people not paying taxes on gas.....unless those people are working for the Democrats in order to organize the convention in Denver next month.

It has been reported that the city of Denver has been allowing those working for the DNC in Denver to fuel the vehicles they us at the city's pumps, hence avoiding state and federal taxes. It appears that it's been going on for about 4 months, with the blessing of the Mayor of Denver. The State Attorney General says it looks illegal. Really? The Mayor, John Hickenlooper, said the practice would change but it should be OK because Republicans were doing the same thing in Minneapolis. Everyone from the RNC who was contacted said they were getting gas on the open market, paying all the appropriate taxes. No such deal is in the making for them.

It seems interesting, though frustrating that Democrats love to raise taxes and tell us how we need to pay our fair share, but avoid paying taxes every chance they get......

"Do as I say and not as I do" seems to be the mantra of the far left.

This story is quite a stretch. No hard figures, in fact, they don't even say whether or not the secure places offering tax free gas were ever used. The story actually says that "it was an effort to give local DNC organizers a secure place to fill up, a concern should they have dignitaries in the car." The odds of using that fill up station are slim to none.

This is also being discussed on the MyFoxColorado website. It was also covered on local talk radio. There were no initial "excuses" given, they wouldn't even comment on it.

Not much to say actually. Just a normal kinda guy. I drive a truck delivering groceries for a major food chain here in the valley. Try to keep educated on local and national events especially those concerning corruption and moral ineptitude by our "elected officials." Very much for protecting our freedoms and rights, always open to new ideas and discussions. I don't identify as Democrat or Republican, and don't like to be labeled as liberal or conservative. Just try to stay responsible and informed as possible.
