I didn't think I could hate him anymore!

Rigorous state enforcement means that brick and mortar casinos make a good faith effort to keep minors away from gambling.

Guess he hasn't been to a casino or horsetrack in awhile, or had his children buy lottery tickets. This guy is so out of reality it isn't funny.

This sentence at the beginning of the article almost seems like he's trying to defend what he has done:

"The new law passed because members of the pro-family movement -- including a great many Southern Baptists -- brought the issue to the attention of both Democrats and Republicans."

If he wasn't being defensive and trying to justify the stunt that he pulled, why would he give the Democrats any credit for it? I may be reading too much into it, though. He seems to be preaching to the choir on that website.......literally. LOL

Time for the Union and the Confederate states again. These religious zealots are going to do much more harm than good.

As we have seen over the past 5 year, Religion Can Be Dangerous

In his last paragaph he seems quite happy with the fact that he has already destroyed the lives of many private investors in the shares of online gambling companies. I know of a few who have suffered losses that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Likewise many pension funds have been very badly hit.

What's more dangerous? Allowing many millions of Americans to enjoy a game of online poker? Or allowing people like Frist to take a role in government and pass laws?
