An Analysis of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006

You're such an idealogue that you're in total denial that support of the ban is bipartisan (stronger on the GOP side, I don't deny that).

When the Senate Dems rehjected adding the rider to the military spending bill, the democratic leadership made a point of telling Frist that they thought the bill was a good idea and would support it in the future, but rejected adding the rider to that bill because it had nothing to do with military spending.

If I knew what "Idealogue" meant I would probably be pissed about now.


You say they rejected adding the rider to the defense spending bill because it had nothing to do with that, but it couldn't possibly have much to do with port security either.

For the record, I'm not a Democrat, I'm a republican, or at least I was till the past four years. I don't doubt that there is support on the Dems side, I'm just saying that Frist saw an opportunity and took it while the far Right was looking for anyone they could find to champion this cause.

I'm really starting to suspect the real purpose of this is to scare the offshore companies away, so the big AMERICAN companies (you know, the ones paying off the Congresscritters), have a free shot once they can hammer out the details.
