Commentary Appropriate For Today’s Changing World

Hypocrit


It looks to me that what is good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.
It doesn’t seem to bother Mr. Polis one bit to criticize his opponent for the very same things that he indulges in himself. Funny how are….must be in the blood.

Oh yeah, while I’m thinkin’ of it,the other thing that really bothers me is the way Mr. Polis has chosen to invest his money. Yes, I know that one should be free to invest in those stocks that are most likely to bring a decent retrurn on one’s money. However, it really doesn’t take a genius to see that Polis is doing the very thing that he is accusing his opponent of doing. Mighty. Strange.

Jared Polis divested himself of stock in these companies with atrocious environmental and human- rights records as soon as he discovered them through his fund manager,” campaign spokeswoman Dayna Hanson said in an e-mail.

Additionally, Polis still has investments worth between $250,000 and $500,000 in the Far East Energy Corp., which explores “some of the largest coalbed methane projects in China,” according to its website.

Kinda hypocritical don’t ya think.

And….one more for the road:

A Polis news release on March 6 criticized Fitz-Gerald for taking money from what it alleged were some of the “largest anti-environmental corporations and human-rights violators in the world.” Polis had investments in four of those companies.

Hanson said Polis netted only a few hundred dollars from two of them, and one — which provided him $100,000 to $1 million — was only a week-long investment.

It never ends, does it?
