get the money out of campaigns and politics. everything else is bull**** and really doesn't matter.

this relates to poker because I just watched a the "jack high" video again.

I agree. Money will never get out of politics though, and nothing will be fixed via voting.

I just like to remind people what happens when you elect a socialist: you lose more of your property and earnings.

RON PAUL SLAMS CHAFFETZ FOR CARRYING ADELSON’S WATER
RAWA may not have much chance of passage, but opponents aren’t letting down their guard. On Tuesday, Ron Paul, former congressman and current chairman of the Campaign for Liberty, issued a statement condemning RAWA as an attack on the US Constitution. Paul reminded everyone that online gambling regulation is “solely under the jurisdiction of state and local authorities.”

Paul went on to say that “in a free society,” those morally opposed to online gambling “have the right to peacefully persuade others to refrain from gambling. What they do not have the right to do is use the government to forcibly push their morals onto others.”

Paul goes on to say that an earlier version of RAWA was introduced in the 113th Congress but “received little support” from legislators or the American public. Paul notes that RAWA does have the support of “one Las Vegas billionaire, who stands to benefit financially from a federal ban limiting competition in the gambling industry.”

To be fair Trump did call out citizens united last night and he is one of the few GOPers that supports online gambling.

To me that's a clear indication that Ryan does not have the interests of everyday Republicans at heart.

Please oppose his nomination.

Everyday republicans have, wittingly or not, staunchly supported corporate lobbying and its devastating effect on our democracy for many decades. We now have the finest puppet government big money can buy.
