Same with us.

Man, this just keeps getting better.

a measure that's expected to cripple the mail-order tobacco businesses run by members of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

What do Democrats have against Native Americans?!!!

That's racist.

The list of enemies this insane nitwit King Obama is building that we are getting a better chance at November than I thought. The problem is reversing this crap will take kicking his as@ out of office, that will be 2012. He will destroy so much freedom it might take years to dump.

Interstate commerce strikes again, as well as the nanny state.

UPS and FedEx have already agreed NOT to ship cigarettes. A smaller carrier might carve out a market but it’s unlikely.

Actually, if this was a special deal that only the Seneca Nation had, then maybe this was a good thing to do. Enough with the affirmative action. Although I doubt that that was their intention.

If they can't mail cigarettes, how about UPS? I suspect this is mostly about closing the tribal loopholes, though.

As for supporting Obama, well, they should have seen this coming. As long as he gets his cigarettes, he could care less whether anyone else does.

Big Tobacco wins over little tobacco. The Government picking losers and winners again. When people are taxed to death they do things to overcome even in that environment. Now another roadblock to continue to enslave folks and steal their money. Conservatives should have voted against this intrusion.
