Bill O'Reilly would most certainly not be at all outraged by this legislation. He would be excesively concerned about kids and moral degenerates on the internet.
He would be more likely to tell those who are upset that they can't internet-gamble that they should stop whining about it and find something better to do with their time such as supporting their family or spending time with their kids.

This is the angle that O'Reilly generally tends towards. Although I admit I have not heard him speak specifically about internet-gambling.


Fox News proclaims they are the most powerful name in news.
I'm not sure that Bill O'Reilly says this about himself.

If he does say this then it most certainly is not true.

Of course you realize that this is logically equivalent to "if it most certainly is true then he doesn't say it."

Just sayin...

For those that would just like to voice their opinion on the subject, go to usatoday.com, scroll down the right hand side til you see the article re: Party and the gambling bust, and then you can leave a comment....usually when i read these, there are "a few" comments on the subject, but this one already has way more comments than usual...let's flood it, I did, and even the "everyday guys" that dont sound like they play online think it's rediculous, so ....rally!!!!

I'm not seeing this article.

What about Limbaugh? I've always loathed him, being a sort of moderate liberal myself, but it seems to me that anyone that considers themselves a true conservative would be appalled by this legislation.

Obviously being a conservative and being a republican are no longer even tangentially related. Conservatives need to realize that the Religious Right has usurped their party, which used to stand for LESS government. Now Bill Frist and his cronies want to shut off our computers and come tuck us in every night...

This is a great idea. If everyone who read this forum sent an email we would get a lot of publicity.

Even the few places I have seen this mentioned, there seems to be little push. I found a forum discussion on msnbc.com and it had a whopping 4 posts.

You guys don't get it. A TRUE conservative would be totally against this legislation. Limbaugh would probably shock you by being against this. Read this great article in Newsmax for a true conservative view on this.

Don't confuse extreme right wing religious wackos wth us true conservatives.
