Re: Paul moving on up
Ron Paul's 'downside' is that he's pro-life (well he thinks states should decide) and pro 'don't ask don't tell' (well he's against disruptive behaviour in the military).
Not much of a downside compared with : Ending America's interventionist foreign policy Ending Income Tax Bitchslapping big government back to Russia, where it came from.

[ QUOTE ] Nate, Pardon the dumb question, but whats his stance on poker? [/ QUOTE ] He voted against the UIGEA and spoke out against it on the floor of the House. Strict libertarian and states' rights/federalism guy. Basically, he's a home run from a poker standpoint. [/ QUOTE ] For accuracy. the UIGEA was a rider attached to a Senate bill, thus Paul did not vote on. (Had he had the opportunity, he would have voted against it.) He has voted against every single piece of legislation in the House directed at regulating the internet. It's safe to say that he opposes ALL governmental regulation of business and private behavior. He was the Libertarian Party Candidate for President in 1988.

It was tougher than UIGEA and it passed 317-93. Rep. Paul voted against it. In the Senate, this bill was weakened a bit and added to the SAFE Port Act., a piece of unrelated, must-pass legislation. Ron Paul is on our side, 100%.

Re: Paul moving on up
Also, the UIGEA was a companion bill in the House to 109th H.R. 4777, a bill that would have criminalized play for American Citizens and was endorsed by eBay / Paypal as well.
eBay / PayPal actually wanted to lock us up while eBay's PayPal funds 'Skill' gaming in the U.S. and Poker in Europe. Read the story at: www.wvgeneralstore.com obg
