Is this more hypocrisy from the Democrats?

Hello All, "[i]In Colorado, consumers pay 40.4 cents per gallon in state and federal fuel taxes.... The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention has used the city's gas pumps to fill up and apparently avoided paying state and federal fuel taxes.... "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," said Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz[/i]." http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/jul/22/city-gives-dnc-host-committee-pass-gas-tax/ Then, when the DNC host committee gets caught evading paying fuel taxes, their spokesperson declares that it's OK because he knows for a fact that the same thing is going on in Minneapolis. The problem is that he is either terribly misinformed, or is lying! The MN. GOP host committee personnel are purchasing their fuel from public pumps, not the city's private pumps. So, not only is the DNC spokesperson saying that it's ok to break the law because someone else is, he's also falsely accused the RNC host committee to deflect attention from his own illegal activities! Though ... Wait one minute, let's not lose sight of the importance of: The DNC declares that it's OK to break the law, and use government funds for DNC 'private events' because they believe the other side is doing the same. Wow! Is this a national Presidential campaign or the 6th grade??? What ever happened to not jumping off of a bridge just because somebody else jumped off of that bridge? Now, here's where the story takes a colorful turn toward the truly bizarre ... "The host committee, which is responsible for raising money to put on the convention, is using the city's pumps "for safety and security reasons," Lopez said. "We know the gas is not tainted," he said. "We use it as a safety and security measure." So, is Chris Lopez paranoid? Or is it feasible that Phillips 66 and Shell are conspiring with Colorado Republicans to figure out which drivers are Democrats, and taint the gas at public gas stations? Of course, the tainting must be with a special 'blend' which only affects the automobiles of registered Democrats. Otherwise we'd certainly have heard complaints from at least one or two Independents, don't you think??? My questions to you are: 1. What say you? 2. How is it that this party of paranoid thieves is still viable? 3. Why is it that young people are flocking to this party that is so hypocritcal --with it's 'superdelegates' and 'do as we say, not as we do' attitude? 4. Has anyone ever heard of this Chris Lopez or Hickenlooper before? Where do they find these people who so easily assume that the taxpayer should pay for their 'private events'??? Maybe you all can clue me in ... 'cause I just don't get it! How can we rail against gov't corruption, and turn around and vote for for these party hacks??? Thanks, I really look forward to reading your thoughts about this.
