Default Re: Counter Offensive, How we deter our politicians and keep our game

Come on man, you can't pull crap off of an anti-gambling website and expect it to be anything but one-sided. St Louis has more casinos than any city I've ever lived in and it specifically is NOT one of the sites often shut out by carious online casinos (pre-ban) or currently BonusWhores or anything else.

The point of this isn't to champion a legislator who we think is going to ride into Washington and demand poker legalization, it's to get those in the political scene talking about how all this money seems to be coming in from swing voters against Republicans because they pushed this ban through.

For those of you that like the Repubs in general (I'm a democrat myself), I think we have a better chance of traditional small-govt repubs putting some pressure on the party (Look this is ridiculous, as a party we're not about big government and now this pandering is costing us more votes than we are gaining from the RR, we need to win back these voters, blah blah blah) because of this, but only if they see/hear that the party as a whole is losing support because of its big-christian-morality-police fringe
