    Wow, another conservative crybaby! If it wasn't for Frist and his conservative buddies, this bill wouldn't have been slipped in at the last minute on a port security bill that was surely going to pass on it's own. Hell, half the people had already voted before they slipped in the language at the last second!

    Online gambling has a chance to return, read this article.

    Well, if you could see my voting record I voted for bush twice. I couldn't stand Gore or Kerry. I see you like to stereotype, i am 35 and hardly a lib. This backdoor deal though really pissed me off and the republicans don't listen to the American people regarding anything as they think their **** doesn't stink. We voted you people in and they should listen to us, I hope you can read people at the poker table better than you read me.

    LMAO!!

    Oh, that had me laughing, Chris!

    Here is a better one for him:

    If you play online poker and you are a republican, then you are a poker-playing republican - and according to religious-right folks in your party, you're gonna burn in hell along with the Democrats.

  2.  

    So the Democrats are gutless wonders? Thank you for clarifying.

    They could have killed the amendment, BUT CHOSE NOT TO DO SO.

    Counter the Democrats behavior to that of the current Republicans WHO VOTED AGAINST A SIMILAR BILL DUE TO THE PORK.

    It's called 'having a backbone'. Granted, you have to believe in something other than getting elected in order to take a stand. Stop making excuses for the weak sucks who didn't stand up for their ALLEGED beliefs.

    Hey I heard Nancy Pelosi is cozying up to Syria. April's Fools, I wish.

    I like how the hate filled left can never debate the issues, but have to resort to character assasination and personal attacks, and you know who you are.

    I bet you wouldn't find it so funny if I said your mother was raped -- April fools! Yea, humorless lefties just don't get a good joke. har har har.

    I repeat ---- PATHETIC.

    Oh, and just to remind you the amendment was pushed by 'big gaming', states with lotteries, and 'big horse'. I don't see any of you making jokes about Gary Loveman being dead. Do you even know who he is? I doubt it.

    Keep listening to Rush Limbaugh for all your news you brainwashed hypocrite!

    Everyone voted for it because it was attached to an important bill that needed to be passed to ensure the safety of every American. The UIGEA alone couldn't get enough support to pass. They had tried several times.

    Sometimes you do something you don't really want to, but have to. That's what being a grown up is all about. When you weigh the negatives (greasy addition of UIGEA onto Prt Security bill) with the positives (every American is safer when ports are more secure) it's an easy decision. The people the politicians represent (you and me, well, not me, because I'm Canadian) would have wanted them to vote the bill through.

    You are a jackass. This is not even funny. It is typical of the myopic nitwits who drone on about politicians AFTER the fact.

    I will remind you that almost every Democrat voted for the ban.

    Oh and I don't see you getting all high and mighty about the 'cut and run' bill where the Democrats piled on pork (your tax dollars) to bribe their own side to pass it so we could lose another war. Sorry but that is a hell of lot more important than your online poker experiance.

    I hate Neo-Con's as much as Neo-Lib's, which you come across as. I don't think it would be a stretch to assume that you're between 19-23 and you don't like republicans because of the war and poker. But primarily the war. You claim that voting for strictly one party or the other is brainwashed, but I would wager that if you have ever voted, it was strictly for democrats.

    My vote usually leans republican because of their actual policies, aside from the war. Don't get me wrong, I do agree more often with republican national security and military positions, but that is only a side thought. What I do concern myself with are policies in favor of small business, which I fall under, and typically draws more support from republicans. Personally, the more centerist the better, but how they lean regarding my financial(IE business) well being is most important.

    As someone said, the religious right would probably say I'll burn in hell because I do play poker, I'm not religious in anyway and I support abortion rights. Crazy.
