    DNC Host Committee Gets Tax-Free Gas In Colorado?
    Are Colorado taxpayers footing the bill for the DNC host committee? Should they? What do you think of this? Remember, there are reports that the DNC and Obama's supporters are trying to take Hillary's delegates away. Now with High Gas Prices nationwide for everyone, they also want a FREE RIDE in Colorado? It's Time To Say No Deal!

    Psst... SkyFlake McCain, they don't need to take her delegates away. Hillary doesn't have enough for the nomination, Obama does. :)

    Psst... No Savvy Babbie, are you ignoring the main topic? The topic is the DNC and the Free Gas. I'll excuse your ignorance for not knowing what that means since you're no savvy, but in answer to what you replied with, the convention has not yet begun and many delegates can still be swayed at the convention and could very well change their mind and vote for Hillary. Now, how about the DNC that's so close to your guy and what their folks are doing in Colorado with the gas situation?

    Hey SkyFlake McCain, as for gas, you have plenty. Why don't you let them siphon some out of your tuchus? You're the pishteppel that mentioned delegates. If you don't like being corrected then smarten up. ;)

    The disclosure brought immediate scrutiny. Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said the practice "would seem" to be illegal and referred the matter to the state Department of Revenue.

    Nonprofits, such as the host committee, are subject to state and federal gasoline taxes, according to the Department of Revenue.
    For some reason this does not surprise me. If the RNC was doing it the caveat "would seem" would not have been uttered .

    As for the delegates... until they cast their votes ,the Super Delegates are not committed to either candidate.

    Chris Lopez, spokesman for the host committee said, "We know the gas is not tainted. We use it as a safety and security measure." LOL, yeah that's it. Who are they afraid of, Republican wackos or the Recreate 68 wackos that plan to levitate the Denver Mint?

    Remember, his win over Evita was based on 138 delegates that he picked up in 12 mostly red states with small Democratic populations that were made even less representative by caucuses and disproportional assignments. BO has not won a big state by popular vote other than Illinois (and how was the cadaver turn out there ? ).

    You forgot about North Carolina. They're the 10th most populated State in the US. And I've got news for you, McCain will lose more large States than Hillary did and that doesn't bode well for the Republican hopefuls. Say bye to California and New York.
