Typical worthless, corrupt legislator of this era.

Frist has always been a POS so why does this surprise anyone.

the state of online gambling is plain ridiculous. as that video shows, the lawmakers who are making these bills are getting kickbacks from vegas, lawmakers who use the onus of the gambling term to shepard congress into voting their way. it would be nice if some liberal politician would see that online gambling is a highly taxable commodity. just tax it and lower the national deficit. they allow cigarettes, alcohol, and heathcare extortion. why not this? it is legal in britain and they are fine. is our government saying we cant handle ourselves like brits? does our government even know what the hell they are passing laws on?

Thanks wes fisher, I am sad to say I am far from surprised to see another US Politician taking money from special interest groups to pass a bill that benefits them...This is a sad ...and absolutely nothing will be done about this, this is the "Ole boys club" rules and they are good at covering each others asses.... I guess I am lucky that we have poker rooms at out casinos here in Detroit, and a Sports book just across the river in Windsor (Ont.)

IT is just pathetic how a few corrupt politicians can ruin the fun for millions of us recreational gamblers.

Guess if I can't spend my $$$$$ on harmless gambling in my own home I will go out and spend it on Booze, ciggs, and hookers

God Save America
