Democrats Agree to Gas Tax Holiday, for Selves
by Big Dog on Jul 23, 2008 at 15:07 Political
Earlier this year John McCain called for a gas tax holiday during the Summer in order to ease the burden of the cost of gasoline. Hillary Clinton agreed with the idea but Barack Obama and many other Democrats did not like it and decided it was not a good idea. It was a particularly sore item with regard to union workers in the construction industry who reminded Democrats that a cut in the tax would reduce the money available to work on road projects leading to many unemployed construction workers just prior to the election. This prompted the idea that they needed to raise the gasoline tax 10 cents.
Democrats oppose a tax holiday because it will decrease revenue and it will not bring much relief to people who are buying gas. For what it is worth, I don’t like the idea of the holiday because I think they should abolish the gas tax completely. That is the real source of gouging. It seems that Democrats don’t like the idea of people not paying taxes on their gasoline unless those people are working for the Democrats in order to organize the convention.
It is reported today that the city of Denver has been allowing the people working for the DNC in Denver to fuel the vehicles they are using at the city’s pumps thus avoiding state and federal taxes. This has been going on for four months with the full consent of the Mayor but the Attorney General of Colorado says it looks like an illegal practice. Ya think?
The Mayor, John Hickenlooper, has stated the practice would change but that it should be OK because Republicans are getting the same deal in Minneapolis. Those from the RNC who were contacted about this stated they were buying gas on the market and were therefore paying the appropriate taxes. No such deal is in order for them.
Isn’t it amazing that Democrats always love to raise taxes and they love to tell us how we need to pay our fair share but when push comes to shove they avoid paying taxes every chance they get?
Do as I say and not as I do is the mantra of the left.

I think we need a gas tax on all the bullshit that gets thrown around on this site.
I don’t know about you people, but I love the way the Big Dog and Pony Show is pandering to Hillary voters. McSame needs these voters. So ironic that Hillary, once the w(R)ong wings most hated figure, now has them on their knees. You guys feel like bi**hes? Your getting bi**hed by Hillary and her supporters.
Next up is the republican plan to scare the shit out of female Hillary voters. W is going to raise the terror alert level any day now.

Bunny needs a drink of water, she has spunky breath.
Get it straight B.C.; we dislike all your Democrat candidates, not just Hill-up dummy.
Has anyone but me noticed that liberals and Democrat voter block-heads generally tend to be employed in government social service work? I mean, yes, we find those scabs and leaches in other jobs, they fill in the un-productive whinny portion of many industries, but when it comes to teachers, welfare workers, social workers and generally everyone who draws a government check for providing questionable value services, tends to be a Democrat.
And most are liberal Democrats at that. What is it about feeding on the government dole that makes people into tratorious sluts?
Just like the DNC workers in Denver, they have their mouth around someone’s hose, ain’t that right, Bunny? Now take the water and rinse your mouth.

I am not pandering to Hillary voters. They were treated badly. I don’t agree with their politics or their choice in candidate but they should be treated fairly.
Seems to me they are doing a good job of organizing themselves and are effectively opposing the Messiah. Of course, when they do the tolerant left threatens and vandalizes them.
Remember, shoot to kill then there is only one story the police have to listen to.
McCain should be going after the Hillary supporters, that is how he’ll with the election, not by wasting time with La Raza and the NAACP who won’t vote for him anyway.
Hey Bunny how do you like the 40% increase in spending in CA over the last 5 years? You feel like you’re getting 40% better public services? How about the increased taxes, you enjoying those?
From what I see, the California voters are self destructive by voting in these Big Spenders and Self Interests politicians.
The Federal voters vote in Democrats who thinks wind power is putting sails on cars so they can be propelled by the wind so we don’t need any local oil produced.
Otto- Your comedy career is in a tailspin. Give it up.
“Reason”- The current Governor of California is a republican. Please stop- your lunacy is giving me a headache.

Bunny, allow me to correct you.
The current California Governor is registered as a Republican but he is not a Conservative by a very long shot. He is a RINO. He is a Liberal masquerading as a Republican.
He be da pussy-whipped muscle-man. Maria, she’s a Kennedy. What more need be said? If he goes against her, he gets none in da morning, none at noon and none at night.
And muscle men need love, too.
Oh, I thought you guys were a “big tent” party. My bad, I forgot it’s all haters now. No place for moderates in todays repubber party, that is for damn sure.

I moved out of California last October because of the politics, taxes and illegal immigration, I joined the Minutemen in demonstrations and saw a realty that most of you have no idea about. the Gov of Ca is most definitely a liberal republican, I wouldn’t even call him a republican. All you have to do is pay attention to what is going on to see that. Southern California, which I love, is gone, and with people moving out, who is going to pay for all the social services to illegals, who is going to want to be a police officer there, LA is a sanctuary city just as San Francisco is, it is just not talked about.
Carl,
Two of my good friends recently moved to southern California. I know plenty of people in California, most of them having moved there within the last 5 years.
Perhaps they love it so because people like you are busy wasting your time with the twominutemen. As far as myself and the Californians I know are concerned, you can have your Big Dog and pony show down on the border until the end of time. It’s irrelevant unless you’re a hater.
And why in the world would you move to California “because of the politics, taxes and illegal immigration”? That would be like me moving into a twominutemen compound in some Texas border town.
PEACE
