Frist sneaks through an on-line gambling banking law onto a non-related security bill in the dead of night just before Congress adjourns, two weeks before the election and who is affected most?
According to On-line Players Alliance the average age of the 23 million Americans who wager on-line is between 22 and 37.
Perhaps the on-line organized "Velvet Revolution" played a part. No one was screaming for this Bill to be passed except Dobson but I think other quid pro quo was involved with Frist and the land based Casinos in this country. The worst result of the Bill will be the horrendous banking regulations that will have to be enacted for this law to even work.
You are more right than you know. I don't even hang out on the poker sites, but I know several people who voted Dem who never would have thought about voting without that bill.
It was stupid beyond words.
Politicians spend our money and scratch unscrupulous backs to get themselves reelected. We don't need politicians. We need leaders. The latter will have no trouble getting reelected. The former should rot in obscurity.
