Bush signs Internet Gambling Bill

No surprise there. That guy is the worst president we've ever had. He belongs in prison for all the stuff he's done.

Al Gore wouldn't have signed it.

The US needs to find a way to put Clinton back in office. BEST PRESIDENT EVER.

I'm not commenting on any other government policy but I absolutely hate this! Paradise Poker and Sportsbook have shutdown their link making it nearly impossible for me to make my weekly football wagers. I'd been making on average $100 a week betting on NFL games....oh well

Clinton would love to be back in office right now, while in office was the last time he had his hand in the nookie jar.

I guess Bush and his gang "hate our freedoms" as much as Osama. Ever since 9/11, the U.S. Government has been using "terrorism" as an excuse to get rid of anything their religious fanatic supporters don't like or doesn't line their pockets (probably not in that order)! Online poker has nothing to do with security or terrorism yet the speeches today were about nothing but.

As a matter of fact, all the "enemies of freedom" that Bush professes to be fighting , Osama and the Ayatollahs , hate online poker or any form of gambling.

vote for his wife i dont really follow politics at all besides recently with the online poker situation but i heard she might run for president i think shes governor or something now lol
idk if she runs shes got my vote though

ACK! No! Not that Bush is great (he's not!), but Hilary Clinton is sooo not the answer (btw, she is a New York Senator ).

Bad news, bwin group (operators of the ongame network and Pokerroom.com) have announced they are not accepting US players anymore either.

this is ****ing ridiculous!! I have been away from this site but I had to come here and say something. I play at partypoker and I can no longer play there for money . I am unable to work and so I have made a living of this and had worked out so far. I even bought a big screen tv (sweet!) with my earnings and have been able to get by with my winnings. If people want to gamble money, then let them do that. I look at this at a form of entertaiment and a safe one at that. Since I started playing online poker , I have managed to stay away from bars or other places that could be worst.I dont understand how this is much different then a casino . I havent been to casinos alot but the few times that I been there to play poker I made some money , so what the hell is the difference? There's way bigger problems that the gov should concentrate on then a simple game of poker which brings joy to millions. I am so mad at this and I hope we can at least keep some part of online poker and I dont mean that play for free crap. Just another reason to hate the government

But in all fairness, Gore would normally have trouble signing his own name anyway.

LOL...NOT.

Yep. Pity though. JFK was doing Marilyn Monroe without issue and Clinton gets busted for getting a hummer from the chubby intern. LOL

^^^This^^^

When Clinton was in office, the general manta in the military was "Impeach the president and her husband". But if she runs, she will likely need to do it as an independent. She most likely would not get support from the Democratic party poker for several reasons (including pissing many of them off as a thinks she knows it all Jr member of the Senate.)

I hope you're being saracastic.

No suprise here, i figured Bush would sign it, ill be glad when hes out of office, in November im voting for ALL Democrats and All the Youngest Democrats,, we need New Young Blood in Washington if we ever want to change things>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck

First they take My Pot. then they try to regulate my guns. Now THIS!!!!
Why are they taking all our Vices?
This is Just further proof that las vegas has way more say than the millions of people who play poker online everyday. now you tell me, is that a democracy. Online gambling was hurting only one group. people who run casino's. now if the casino's were just a little bit smarter they would have started their own online poker sites. but vegas is a desert full of retards (kiddies watch out for the profanity here) And I SAY **** YOU VEGAS!!!

lol maybe not the best president but he was better than Reagan, or bush senior and junior. the only things that he did that was remotly bad that I can remember. was giving his brother and all them coke dealers a get out of jail free card.

but hes a lprobably a coke head himself so what do you expect

Here are some of the other great things Clinton did (in no particular order)

1. Reduced our military too drastically, even after numerous terror attacks.

2. Though the WTC bomber was convicted, did nothing to stop further attacks. When further attacks came, he swore to seek justice, but did nothing. (He actually intentionally passed up a chance to have Osama Bin Laden killed).

3. Separated info sharing between the CIA and the FBI that prevented both from getting the proper intel prior to 9/11.

4. Committed purgery under oath (this would be about the hummer and smoking kitty dipped cigars)

5. Gave nuclear secrets away to North Korea.

6. Mogadishu

7. Bosnia

Just putting in my 2 cents but I think Both Gore and Clinton would have signed this bill also. Clinton ran his entire policy on poll data and I'm sure most polls would have more people in favor of this bill than against it (most would probably have no opinion). Has anyone heard of Gore, Clinton or any other major polititian speak out against this bill? I haven't. Remember it wasn't just republicans that voted for this bill but many, many democrates too. Saying Gore or Clinton wouldn't have signed this bill isn't living in reallity.

I'm not going to argue about the merits of any particular president on other matters, that's different opinions which we are all entittled too, but don't think for a second that a democratic president wouldn't have signed this bill also.

Any 1 know why it was tacked onto a port security bill in the first place smells very much like politiking to me

7. Bosnia[/quote]

Bosnia was the 1 good thing clinton did do. Wha was going on there was seriously F****d up and clinton did it because blair pushed him into it.

This is exactly why. Frist knew there was no other way to get this in to law without being dirty and underhanded.

Okay, assume for a moment Bosnia was a good thing...Clinton wouldn't have done anything on his own.

Not all bush is bad!

You guys don't get it do you Democrat's republican's whats the difference these guys dont answer to us they answer to the Corporate Scum they work for .This is about organized gambling like Vegas and Atlantic City they will gain so much now that online gambling is dead .
Don't fall for the moral ground they would love for you to buy that bull shiat .As far as terrorism thats just crazy Any American Corporate Co can launder anyones dirty laundry. As long as they invest it in the U S stock market it;s not reported but if i deposit 10,000 the bank has to report it to the government .Trust me guys this is just the beginning you watch more and more of your civil liberties are going bye bye

Mod edit: Stay on topic, and please don't insult us all with stupid conspiracy videos. ~DM

i think its crazy that its against the law to play online, but i can go to a poker room in my city - in a state where gamling is "illegal". we also have lottery and horse racing. . . anyway, i just don't understand the rationale behind this.

politics is such a monstrous beast, and its too big and old to change at this point. . .

Can we rename this country to something else? Screw putting youngblood in congress...they will just take there 6-8 year college degree and **** up this country more than it already is. Whats next on the ban list Porn?....wtf...I can't gamble online anymore? But it's ok for a man to toss another mans salad?

Here is a small list of stuff you can't do anymore in this country.

1. Smoke
2. Play cards online.
3. Look at a hot babe a work.
4. Bring a tube of toothpaste on an airplane.
5. Tackle a quarterback

and so on.

im 18 maybe i should start learning about politics and run for president lol how hard can it be if bush can do it why cant i hhahahaa
anybody wanna be vice president hahaha

Sorry to reopen this piece of the discussion, but I forgot about the t-shirt that I bought back during the Clinton days...
Kind of a nice summary, I think..."Only in America can you find a veteran sleeping in a card board box while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House."

All Im saying is you better start paying real attention to this government because a little while ago they passed the lovely torture bill it's now totally legal to torture enemy combatants .My question is who can be an enemy combatant?....we live in scary times......

9/11 VENDETTA past, present & future

Booo! Bush sucks. Can't wait until election time...then maybe life will be good again.

Don't vote for Bill Frist. He is the reason online gambling is over.
