Huh?????
The following groups will fight this legislation.

1. Religious Right.
2. Horse and Dog Racing Industry.
3. State Lotteries.
4. Brick and mortar Casinos.
5. Indian Casinos.

State Lotteries. Heheheheheehee. Yeah. It does suck when the government runs private businesses and thus has an even bigger stake in writing rules to benefit said business.

I believe it's morally bankrupt for any representative who's ever come out in favor of government run lotteries, or carve outs for other types of gambling, to support rules against internet gambling in any way. Of course, 85% percent of the reps ARE unethical.

Even if Washington comes to their senses (Republicans maybe realize that having their noses stuck so far up my arse checking out my business isn't really a small government and freedom type of idea... Democrats realize this is just as important an civil liberties type issue as most...) and allows internet gambling, they still will panic and think that tax revenues from the other gambling businesses will be reduced (they won't, by much) so they'll stick a monstrous tax on.

The money will be for good heartwarming stuff like education and treatment of course, and will certainly not go into the general budget to be wasted.

I think it should be earmarked to help women, children and minorities in some way. They are always hardest hit by everything, according to the media. Allow us to let poker lift them from their perpetual state of persecution.

Democrats,

Please remove the time tables for leaving Iraq in the military funding bill, and add in language making online gambling legal forever.

Thank You

Your Lord and Master Foamy

Victor, there are days where I think I rag on you too much, and then you go on a tangent like this. GTFO.

Guys please ignore each other from now on. This thread started good and this discussion is now sterile.

Go frank.
