Re: November surprise
[ QUOTE ]
I would like to hear other analysis of this tactic. Also, would the poker sites who were most affected by this legislation be willing to leak names to the foreign press? They are not subject to US privacy laws. [/ QUOTE ] because they are respectable sites with privacy policies and they want people to sign up to play with them without being afraid that their hobby is about to be public domain information. Besides which what is to stop your hypocrite claiming he signed up to be more informed about what he was legislating on. Please try to remember we are the good guys. we are supposed to be better than this.

Some enterprising Democrat makes it an issue [/ QUOTE ] There have been numerous opportunities to do this on things people 'care' about. Why would they pick poker for their battle? Is that going to be the deciding factor in an election? I am not trying to be negative, because I don't think people are powerless, but by attempting the same thing that has been attempted before, and expecting that things will be different, is pretty silly. On top of that, even if said enterprising democrat was elected, who's to say that he could convince congress or that they would even show up to vote.

Re: November surprise
We need to be able to multiply our impact, because we do not have the numbers to have any impact. There are some close elections out there and this could be the issue that sways an election.

[ QUOTE ] Please try to remember we are the good guys. we are supposed to be better than this. [/ QUOTE ] We lost. We need to regain the initiative and fight to win. Good or bad is a matter of your side of the issue. Is Frist or Kyl good or bad? As far as privacy issues, there are no guarantees. Lets suppose that Party Poker does indeed go under. Would someone buy their database of player names? Would Party destroy that data? There have been other examples of dot com bankruptcies that have resulted in the sale of customer data. If it is an asset, it will be sold.

Re: November surprise
To be followed by the January surprise...
After seeing some of their peers villified and publicly crucified for playing poker online, Congress makes it a top priority to close the loopholes in the recent gambling legislation, specifically cracking down on online poker. Oh, and keep calling that all in on the river while holding 22 when the board reads AAKKQ.

I'm really getting discouraged if this is the best we can muster...does anyone want to even try or are we content to call Frist a Nazi and move our money from site to site until there aren't any left? [/ QUOTE ] Sure seems that way don't it?

How does it become an issue? [/ QUOTE ] Never going to happen, sorry. [ QUOTE ] Some enterprising Democrat makes it an issue. There are many subcommittees that have supoena powers. It obviously needs to be set up carefully, but the press is always hungry for scandals, especially if they can bash the right wing moralists. [/ QUOTE ] The problem is that playing poker on the internet isn't having sex chats with underage boys.
