And yeah, the basic error of this entire thread is that you attempt to attribute to Democrats (and how they interact with the relevant issues here) the same style of rigidity and absolutism that you see in great parts of the Republican party (on tax issues).
Rigidity? By no means. What thread are you reading?
I only attribute to Dems the label of 'hypocrisy' they so rightly deserve.

That's AA trying to wiggle as much as possible until this thread dies and he can pretend it never happened...
Are you kidding? Having never been so right in a thread in my entire Outpost history, I'll probably be putting this bad boy in my SIGNATURE.
By the way, I leave for a biz trip after about 5pm today and I'll prolly be disconnected a couple days. So if you want my mentorship on this issue, you have only a few more hours. Hurry! Offer ends soon! Act now!!

I'm sorry you have been affected by this thread.
Truth does have that impact, though. Relax. Let it sink in.

You are clearly wrong about pointing to this act by the Cali legislature as some smoking gun. You have repeatedly been unable to create an argument that is not built on factual inaccuracies and straw men. Even if one can get passed this inability to line up your argument with reality your argument is based on the premise that approving a gas tax makes someone a hypocrite if they are against regressive taxation.
That argument requires you to assume that people are unable to have a nuanced position on taxation and fails to take into account the context in which the gas tax is being implemented. Your argument is even more ridiculous if you try and tie it to the flat taxes and regressive taxes proposed and implemented at the federal level.
Your argument fails on multiple levels rather badly. Your facts are wrong and your reasoning is horrible. Your motivation is also clearly partisan hackery and not about developing sensible tax policy. There is nothing redeeming about your contribution to the topic.

No. I point to a couple clear facts, and utilize those facts to observe the definition 'hypocrisy' applies to said facts. Simple as that.
You and other apologists are the ones trying to rationalize or mitigate this as something other than hypocrisy by adding a sliding scale of relative ethics, or arguing semantics which have nothing to do with the observation.
The Cali Dems participated in a highly pervasive and hypocritical action here. Done, and done. Supporters should take their lumps and move on.
