Apples and oranges. If sex deviates had not voted Democrat, as always, more Republicans would have won, and they could have held the majority in the Senate?

Given that the sex deviates vote for Democrats, can we blame the outcome on the faggots and dykes, as Novak's analysis has done for "gamblers"?

The fact that Republicans have nearly ALL abandoned traditional conservative values, it's not difficult to see how they lost.....

The amazing thing is that anyone in the Congress thought that this would do anything more than slow down online gambling. Instead of transfering money from a US bank account to a offshore casino, now a gambler will have to transfer money from the US bank to an offshore bank to an offshore casino. And I bet the casinos will make it very easy to do this.

I believe in expanding liberties, not legislating them out of existence.

The GOP needs to re-earn my loyalty in the future.

For the next two years, I'll be looking for signs of the Elephants being something other than Democrat Lite.

i dont know how many votes this cost the gop but i do know alot people (myself included) who were seriously angry at this bill and totally blamed it on the republicans. there are so many internet poker players that could have had some impact. the gop is on the complete wrong side of the fence here.

I know someone that changed his voters registration from Republican to Independent because of this new anti gambling law. The GOP can sometimes be as dumb as dirt when it comes to winning elections. Why do this just before a Mid Term election?

What I do not get is why these Republicans CARE about gambling, internet or not?

What is the ISSUE for them, that they feel the need to legislate here?

This new law did absolutely nothing to stop online gambling. I didn't miss a single day of playing, but I did have to switch to a different site. All it did was piss alot of people off.

I thought it was a pretty stupid thing to make a priority.

I don't like this law as much as the next guy. But voting third party or DEM is positively suicidal. On the issue of gambling alone you are willing to hand over the reins of America to the party of baby killing, terrorist coddling, nuclear tech selling, enviro-socialist traitor maggots?

Brilliant.
