That said, openly legal online poker is NOT a partisan issue. There are opponents and supporters in both parties.

That said, the majority of supporters are indeed Democrats, and the majority of opponents are indeed Republicans.

Is it really that difficult for some folks to keep in mind that "some" does not equal "all"? There are even a few evangelical poker players out there you know.

Give it up... it's been said 100 times and yet people still chime in with completely the wrong info.

It's my firm belief that people don't want to learn about politics or really find out what's right. they are just happier blaming and simplifying. That they really just don't care. Since in the end, they insist on rooting for a political party like it's a sports team and that that team can do no wrong. Completely unobjective, and never really give themselves an option.

Democrats controlled Congress.
A Republican introduced it.

"It is better to let everyone think you are a dumbass than post non-true sarcastic statements on an internet forum and remove all doubt."

Are you a moron?

UIGEA was passed when Frist(R) was the MAJORITY leader. Which means that Republicans were in control. Frist decided not to run for re-election in 2006, Ford(D) and Corker(R) ran for his seat, the Repub winning. Democrats did not take control of Congress until 2006 with Reid(D) becoming MAJORITY leader.

Perhaps you should heed your own advice....

I live in Canada, but do you think I could send an email to all your goveners claim to live in the state that they represent? Or do they have some ip $hit that tells them the orgin of the email. I dunno, were still using tincans and string.

Something I was wondering about concerning UIGEA. Practically, what is the difference in something like online poker or sports betting and online stock day traders? Trading stocks has all the elements on these other forms of investment including skill, luck, variance, etc. Probably easier to "click a mouse, lose a house" gambling on the stock market than playing online poker. I think this is another glaring hypocrisy displayed by our government, akin to having alcohol and tobacco legal, but marijuana illegal.
