Default Politicians dont mention how they legalized online horseracing

If we were smart, we'd have someone spin this new internet gambling bill and point out how the politicians voted to legalize horse racing online.

Spin it to make it look like the congress wants online gambling to be legal, which is what they did for certain segments of online gambling.

We shouldn't allow them to pander to their special interest groups, ie horseracing industry, and allow them to take full credit in the eyes of their religious zealout following for outlawing gambling online, which they certainly didnt.

You can't oulaw all drugs but say its legal to use heroin and cocaine, and then say you passed a great anti drug law.

Come on, if they are going to screw us, then we should get the word out through the media that they legalized horse racing for everyone online. In fact, they encourage it. The hpocrisy of the pols who go on the air and say how bad gambling is online and they did a great thing, yet they allow everyone to now gamble online, as long as it's in the game they negotiated with special interest groups to allow.

They were [censored] paid off by special interest groups to allow people to gamble online, as long as it's horseracing.

Horseracing is commonly known to be unbeatable because of the large amount they take out of the pool before the race is even run. It's the worse game to gamble on, worse than slot machines even. You can't overcome what the house takes out in the long run.

For politicians to allow the one worse game available to be wagered on online shows they are liars and don't give a rats ass about the American people.

It's all about BS and they can't be allowed to fleece Americans like this.

Time to get the word out to the media, that if they really believe gambling online leads to compulsive and addictive behaviours, then making it easy and legal to gamble on horseracing is feeding exactly what they purport to eliminate.

The thing is, they pander to the horseracing industry because of strong Senators from those states where it's a major industry. They would rather legalize online poker long before they outlaw online horseracing.

So that should be our target, IMO. It's a big target and undefensible if they are going to go on the news and tell us how they are saving all those that might become compulsive gamblers.
