The GOP? The Vote was 409-2..190 of those voting for the ban were Democrats. 218 were pubbies. They are equal opportunity panderers.

BTW, I, think the internet gambling ban had more to do with the casinos, than saving our souls.

I think it's more than just the casinos, but all of it has to do with money. If I read my history correctly, we used to have politicians and bureaucrats who assumed the authority to save souls, and it got ugly.
