I’ve witnessed poor (criminal) politics, and it makes me sick! What’s even sicker is the fact that people “buy it”. Many people take the media reports as gospel, without questioning. I wish we could all read between the lines.
As you know, I’m outwardly against the “Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act”, and I’m looking forward to the day when this crap is overturned (for all the right reasons you’ve read here before).
So, I’m very much in support of Barney Franks and his tireless efforts to stop it! He has again introduced a bill that would DEFINE online gambling and legalize it. Yay!
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that a Renton, WA lawyer’s campaign to make Washington state safe for Internet poker players lost again on Monday.
“A state appeals court rejected Lee Rousso’s arguments that a 2006 law that forbids Internet gambling in the state violates the clause of the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce.”
“Last May, a King County Superior Court judge also ruled against Rousso on a day that 70 online poker players rallied outside the courthouse.
Many of my readers have written to me about the great fun you’re
having on the free betting sites that I’ve recommended. If you’re
one of them, hold on, I’ve got something incredible for you.
If you’re not familiar with this concept, let me explain…
You can now bet online on your favorite teams (or boxers, or tennis
players etc etc etc) risking None of your own money, but you are
able to collect real money when you win.

Ever since the illegal (or at the very least - immoral) passage (?)
of the Port bill that contained (hidden within) the UIGEA, the
bettors in the US have been “breaking the law” at worst, and
confused at best! We search for Sports Betting Online - Legally! Read the rest…

If you need some encouragement to get out and vote on Tuesday, take the urgings of John Kerry and Al Gore… both are reminding us of what can happen by very narrow margins.
Don’t ever forget the lessons of 2000 and 2004 - VOTE! Your vote DOES COUNT!!!!
Do you know how your own legislators feel about gambling, and more specifically online gambling?
You know… I’m finally just sick and tired of being the punching bag. I just read about another low-life, sneaky, cowardly thief who blamed gambling for her propensity to steal. I’m sorry Maine Lady (who stole $43,000 from elderly patients), but if you have the desire to steal, you are that type of person. Read the rest…
I’ve been away for some time now, and I’ve been hoping I could return to this blog with some great news.
The news is not great, but it IS good!
The battle for reversing the UIGEA is heating up, and the positive outcome is within sight.
It’s been understood for many months (even since the UIGEA was quietly and covertly slipped into the notorious “Patriot Bill” - and therefore became “law”) that the law is lame (and uninforceable) for a number of reasons. Read the rest…
On Friday, Representatives Barney Frank and Ron Paul introduced a new bill aimed at squashing the foolish UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006).
Their Bill would prohibit the Department of The Treasury and Federal Reserve System from proposing, prescribing or implementing any regulations related to the current ban on Internet gambling, as required by the UIGEA
You see, the problems are many, but the easiest target is Read the rest…
Not ALL Politicians are 1) against online gambling, 2) STUPID (even if they come from the same state as the numbskull Governor that hates online gambling but wants 3 new casinos in his state: Mass) There’s one politician there: Rep. Barney Frank, D that is smart enough to recognize the UIGEA as “one of the stupidest things” he has ever seen…
You’re a gambler! You believe we should be left free to enjoy what we want! There are those however who believe we are incapable of deciding for ourselves and we must be therefore “protected” from ourselves. Occasionally (but not frequently enough), those “do-gooders” get their just rewards… public exposure, humiliation, and the slammer!
Did you giggle at the embarrassing revelation of Eliot Spitzer’s high, HIGH expenditures on prostitutes? Did you get the full blast satisfaction of karma at it’s finest? You’re a gambler! You MUST read who was instrumental in - no, make that leading the assault against online gambling… if you didn’t know, or cannot guess…
It was none other than that lying, conniving, holier-than-thou, pillar of public self-protection advocate, and “law-abiding (ahme) citizen”: Eliot Spitzer… ptueee - I spit his name - lol. The following article is reprinted here just because YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO BELIEVE IT!!!! With my thanks to those who wrote and printed this ahead of me, I’M very appreciative!
It seems there’s another outlaw in town. A site that has been “friendly” to US Poker Players might have been wearing a Black Hat!
“Ultimate Bet” is now under investigation for cheating.
If that weren’t bad enough, UB is solely owned and operated by Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG, Route 138, Kahnawake, Quebec J0L 1B0, and is operated from the sovereign nation of the Mohawks of Kahnawake, located near Montreal Quebec.
How can anyone be such a blatant hypocrite? How can anyone - especially an elected official be so obviously selfish? How can Massachusetts’ Governor want to put online gamblers in Jail - while trying desperately to get three new casinos in his state?
Oh, I guess I answered my own question, didn’t I?
Once again, “Show Me The Money”, and I’ll show you a crooked politician!
What is more irritating than lies and omissions and misinformation?
Answer:
Lies and omissions and misinformation submitted by every coward’s favorite writer: anonymous!
So, here we go again… the knee-jerk Jerks who hide their identification while spewing garbage for gullible voters to read…
You may know that Mass is in a battle for expanded Casino operations (slots). The Governor has wisely promoted adding 3 Casinos to his state… and that has brought out the aforementioned Jerks!
That seems to be the message we’re getting from the politician behind the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act… read the following from the editor of CasinoGamblingWeb.com
Representative congressman from Roanoke, Virgina, Bob Goodlatte, who is responsible for writing the details of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) - which bans illegal forms of Internet gambling and has an exception for online horse race betting - has accepted more than $35,000 in lobbying money from the horse race betting industry, it was revealed today by Perspectives Weekly.
Congressman Goodlatte has pushed his UIGEA in Congress over the past several years citing that it must be passed because gambling is immoral. As immoral as it is, he believes horse race betting is the exception to the immoral rule he lives and preaches by.
