Democrats FEEL so much more for the environment… and that’s the litmus test. We would fail their test because our emotional compassion for the environment cannot match theirs. (But actions and real-life habits are not part of their test…)

I can't believe you people still don't understand the concept of elitism. Get with the program, folks.

Democrats — making sure only the peasants pay the taxes they impose.

Since when has it ever been any different.

Al Gore, telling the proles use bikes or mass transit to get to his speeches, while he and his entourage ride in a fleet of SUV’s and leave them running with the AC on while he gives his speech.

I still think ‘Mayor Hickenlooper’ is a nom de plume or something. It just sounds too silly. He should have went with ‘Mayor Burgermeister Meisterburger’ though. That would have moved it from ’silly’ to ‘cool’ :).

Come on guys and gals, it’s just a little Boston Tea Party democrat style. Dump tea–no representation. Taxless gas–our just due as representatives of the “people.”

“There’s something there that just doesn’t seem right to me because, in a sense, you’re saying then that the officials who pass the laws are not willing to live by them, and that concerns me,” Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz said.

Does Faatz think this is somthing new to the democrats????? They have had this attitude for the 30 years I have been watching them.

Democrats — making sure only the peasants pay the taxes they impose.

Exactly.

Need we point out that this will be declared a distraction. Criminal behavior is not criminal behavior if a liberal does it. In that case it is striking a blow for the revolution against the evil oppressive establishment. Remember the “political prisoner”, Eldridge Cleaver, who was considered a “political prisoner” because he claimed he raped white women as a political statement. Similar thing here, revolutionary Democrats stealing overpriced gasoline as a statement against the greedy oil companies that have jacked up oil prices by refusing to drill in areas with no prospect of finding oil.

The story came up because the transportation people wanted permission to get their money back, was it going to be free gas for the convention before this?

Dem Convention VIPs Get Gas Tax Break — Regular Americans Don’t…

And as I pointed out recently, Dems actually want to raise gas taxes for the rest of us. But they will get a gas-tax holiday at the Democrat convention. The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention is using the city’s……

In other news, Al Gore brings extra tanks to fill up. When asked to comment, “I’ll use it in a more responsible way then you. My hoarding of energy is helping the planet.”

I just hope they used gas of black, silver and gold octanes to stay within the spirit of their required multicolored convention.

An Army of Denverites ought to show up at the Public Works Department and demand they get the same treatment.

Who gave the DNCC carte blanche to use the facilities in the first place? Who told who to open the gate?

This is a political party event and those are not even government vehicles. That’s tax evasion, similar to avoiding government taxes on cigarettes, isn’t it?

Wait, ARE they using government vehicles????

Now I’m a tad perplexed,when it gets to voting day!

Do some of the liberal operatives flatten the tires of
Republican van’s that are going to pick up Republican
shut-ins,or do the operatives fuel up after the dirty
deeds are fullfilled! What,what,jus sayin!

So, you think there is even the slightest possibility that the AP, UPI, MSNBC, the NYT, and the MSM as a whole are going to be covering what the DNC is pulling here?

Nah! I didn’t think so either.

No, but the local media may, and those local politicians might think twice about their political futures before they continue to carry water (literally) and break the Hatch Act for the DNC.

Beat me too it. I also would not want to be a vendor serving the DNC for the convention, unless I got paid up front. There will probably be lots of extra business, but if the few news reports I’ve seen are any indication it could take a while to get paid.

Of course if you did this, you’d be going to jail.
Since they did this, it’ll be “Oh, its all just a harmless misunderstanding. And really, we’re just trying to help encourage tourism anyway, so we’ll just forget about the whole thing.”
