The guy quotes the Sun Sentinal like it's a scholarly journal.

LOL Bacchus.

I think Baucus has no choice but to support the bill because he can't find any cons for the overall scenario.

To TE and Dir. Pappas:

Can we read these ammendments?

TE and PPA leadership: Have you read these ammendments?

How the **** are these 12 year olds getting money? If they're playing with play money, they are learning more about math than most high school students....Officially tilted

Bauchus denies ever saying poker players are like heroin addicts

Bachus is talking about my BigGovernment column that went after him. No one was paid....I'll write that for free everyday!

As a Christian I am so embarassed by Bachus' inability to think critically.

ughhhhh.

Bachus is double-talking and is trying 2 save face...

Does Bachus not realize there is a distinction between someone that plays poker and someone that is addicted to gambling. Almost all poker players are not addicted.

how many times is Mrs. Capito gonna bring up the 12yr old.....Get real.

LOL...Jobs bill -- bookies will retain their jobs!

Bacchus is backing off some? Hrmm..

And the point about sports betting happening anyways is good, happy he made it

Bachus must be a much better reader than me, because I don't see anything in this article about the 12-year-old playing internet poker that he has brought up twice in reference to this article.


Also,

Bachus: "(in the middle of a standard ramble, no context) We're not talking about the game of poker. I've been [misquoted] as saying playing the game of poker is like finding a hair in a dish... these sites don't mind violating our law and have supported character assassination of those who oppose them through [hiring bloggers -- like TE apparently ]."

No idea what he meant by "we're not talking about the game of poker"

How might legalizing sports betting put bookies out of business? Bookies will just shift over to the internet to generate more business IMHO.
