Fulton rights in response to OBG: "Everything that goes wrong is the GOP's fault? Come up with a better excuse you moron.

Once again our opponents are quick with the well thought out counter-arguments. Step up and contribute everyone.

My addition to the article:

<font color="blue">Fulton claims that it is absurd that it is the GOP’s fault, but in this case it is. I was a staunch Republican for my entire life before they decided to infringe on my right to play poker from my very own living room. The architects of this law were Bill Frist, Jon Kyl, Leach, and Goodlatte all Republicans, as they cater to the religious right. Further if you look at the pro-gaming laws being introduced now, the cosponsors are 80%-90% Democrat. The only members of Congress who had the brains to stand up against the UIGEA were Democrats and Ron Paul.

I really got into online poker when I was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to make the long trip to the casino due to fatigue and a weakened immune system. Online poker allowed me to continue to play the game I loved and was a great escape during a very scary time in my life.

Today, I have been in remission for over three years and continue to enjoy online poker still today since it is more allows more time at home with son and play for an hour after he goes to bed, cheaper (no gas money needed), and eliminates the four hours of driving to and from a casino.

Poker has been unfairly treated as horse racing, lotteries, solatair for money, fantasy sports (some entry fees in the thousands of dollars) get a free pass. </font>
