"They have certain standards which they haven't met."

No pun intended, I’m sure. LOL!

"The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not immediately know what specific changes had to be made. "

Well for one, they need to move it to Fallujah.

A party of rabid, raw-meat Lefties, near insane with their hatred of the sitting President, come to a city with labor trouble that is unprepared to handle them, to have a convention to nominate a candidate that inspires nothing but apathy.

Sounds like a recipe for success, doesn't it?

And in New York soon will be a convention to nominate a war president in the shadow of the memory of the biggest foreign attack on our soil in American history. Boy this will be a counterpoint...

Could this be a little union payback for not picking Gephardt? A little ball busting will do them good.

Typical arrogant Democrats. They don't believe that they have to play by the same rules as the rest of us. They think that because they are the saviors of the "common man" that they can step all over the common man and do anything they want anytime they want anyway they want.

The Democrats should just shut up and pay off the fire inspectors like the rest of us have to.

How delightful :-)

The party of Strangulation By Regulation suddenly find their collars too tight...

They're ripping off the taxi drivers, too

Taxi drivers blast convention voucher plan (Dems rip off drivers)
Associated Press ^ | 6/17/2004 | Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) Boston taxi drivers are angry over a city proposal that they accept vouchers from delegates to the Democratic National Convention instead of using their meters for rides to and from Logan International Airport.

The city first offered vouchers worth $8, then raised the amount to $10, taxi drivers said.

''If you take one person to town, it's usually about $30, and I'm going to take one person for $10?'' said 45-year-old Jean Abrahm, a cabbie for 16 years. ''And I have to pay the toll, too? With gas now up, this is just a rip-off.''

The vouchers, combined with convention traffic and road closings, could mean they would lose money going to and from the airport, the drivers said.

Cab drivers and city officials are expected to meet at noon Friday at police headquarters to discuss the proposal, but the drivers already are raising the possibility of taking the week off during the convention, scheduled for July 26 to 29 at the FleetCenter.

''If the city won't go up to at least $45 to take three passengers, we'll go on strike,'' said Balwinder Gill, 37, a 10-year veteran driver from Everett. ''We're just not going to take it. We're going to lose money.''
