If I recall, Barney Frank was one of the few Congressmen to speak out against the new anti-online gambling bill on the merits. Frank is one of the most liberal members of Congress. You can be conservative if you want, but don't blame liberals for banning online poker.

this article is actually well researched....but once again the accountability isn't laid out on the kid..but ONLINE poker. the online sites are just supplying the demand. you take it for what it's worth....don't blame Mcd's for your constant binging on fast food.

how do you figure the article was well researched?

the most likely reason the online gambling ban wont ever

its probably 5 pages on this kid and i paragraph saying guys win at online poker because they play 8 tables at once and barely play any hands.
