Then you don't understand the political process.
The vote was on the port security bill generally. Senate Democrats actually considered stalling the entire bill because of the gambling provisions, but decided against it because they would mean not getting port security done.
It's cool whether anyone here is a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or whatever. But nobody should believe for one second that the internet gambling ban was pushed by anything other than the Republican leadership. Without Frist's "leadership", this bill never would have become law.

Exactly, and I was a lifelong Republican until about six months ago. Once Frist and his Republican cronies tacked this bill onto the port security bill, the Democrats had no choice but to vote for it, especially in an election year, which is why Frist pulled this crap in the first place.
