This man is running against Leach for the Iowa second district

Seems like a good guy.

[ QUOTE ]
"While the 2nd District loses jobs, Jim Leach can think of nothing more important to do than focus on Internet gambling," said Loebsack. "Why isn't Congressman Leach holding a field hearing to talk about the 1 out of 9 Iowans who live in poverty, or about the sorry state of health care and the large number of Iowans without adequate health insurance? There are much more serious issues facing Iowa and the nation."

"Here was an opportunity to help the Senate Majority Leader understand the needs of working families in the second district, and instead they spent their time on a problem that just doesn't connect to the real lives of most Iowans," Loebsack added. "After 30 years in Congress, can't Jim Leach set priorities for his attention any better than that?"

Someone is throwing down some serious money saying 88% passage is too high right now.

"These comments could not be more apropos than for Greg Hogan, Jr., a 19-year-old Lehigh University class president and chaplain's assistant from Barberton, Ohio. This pastor's son gambled away $7,500 playing online Texas Hold 'Em then confessed to robbing a bank to try to recover his losses. His life is ruined."


Yea but he made my life happy, doesnt that balance out?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah it was poker that ruined his life, not HIS DECISION TO ROB A [censored] BANK.

[/ QUOTE ]

I appreciate what you're trying to say with this, but had he not played online poker I seriously doubt he would have robbed a bank.

[/ QUOTE ]

irrelevant.
