Default Re: Paul moving on up

Nate,
Pardon the dumb question, but whats his stance on poker?

[/ QUOTE ]

He voted against the UIGEA and spoke out against it on the floor of the House. Strict libertarian and states' rights/federalism guy. Basically, he's a home run from a poker standpoint.

[/ QUOTE ]

For accuracy. the UIGEA was a rider attached to a Senate bill, thus Paul did not vote on. (Had he had the opportunity, he would have voted against it.) He has voted against every single piece of legislation in the House directed at regulating the internet. It's safe to say that he opposes ALL governmental regulation of business and private behavior.

He was the Libertarian Party Candidate for President in 1988.
