[...] So for those of you that haven’t figured it out, the whole “funding terrorist” thing is total bullshit. If you buy into it, you’re a fucktard. When I wrote the Poker Bann Would fund Terrorists post, I did so because Frist is just the kind of asshole that would play the “terrorists funding” card for anything; just like when Gonzales said that illicit businesses are used, “quite frankly, to fund terrorism.” [...]

This is why I hate the current Republicans. They aren’t even conservative anymore. Smaller government, fiscal responsibility… the US might actually be in better shape if the Republicans went back to some of the things their party is supposedly in favor of. One of these days Bush is going to grow a little moustache and just confirm the obvious.

This ban is such a stupid idea its unbelieveable.

Online Poker has 23 million regular players in the United States and it generates billions in revenue. So you’ve decided you don’t want a piece of the action? Well Britain does. See: http://www.brandrepublic.com/bulletins/media/article/598032/barred-us-set-blossom-uk/

While Congress spends the next few years in a proabition debate this industry will grow its roots outside the US. This is such a bad idea. There aren’t many industries that spring up overnight, with a potential for 100’s of millions in tax dollars, with very little collection effort. This is a big loss for the US. For the players, for the casino operators and for the wider American public who will have to watch revenue that could have gone back into America leaving for foreign shores.

While you lot argue. This cash is going to England.

Lets not forget this is an ‘MD’ who thinks that kissing may transfer AIDS and who also gave his expert diagnosis that Schiavo was not a vegetable.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” (’Atlas Shrugged’ 1957)
