Nevada Republican Senator Ensign says the internet gambling bill "protects our children". What a sleaze politician. Either that or an ignorant one.
Maybe Nevada Sen. Harry Reid has a spine.

Re: Frist trying to attach online gambling bill to defense bill
Most all of these Republicans have SOLD OUT to the Christian coalition base of their party. A true conservative Republican would be STRONGLY opposed to this sort of Government intrusion. This sort of legislation goes against all the ideals of conservatism, and is true hypocrisy in that so many republicans are supporting it. Their support of this legislation is simply to appease the "holly roller/ bible thumping" base of the party.

We don't even know who supports it.
The problem is most people simply don't care.
Kind of like: I don't smoke, but I don't care if you do. I don't drink every day, but I don't care if you do...
People who don't care just say ok, whatever, let me go on vacation.

Re: Frist trying to attach online gambling bill to defense bill
Folks....I wouldnt be too concerned with this. Our senators may seem real loopy but they do know the score.
The banking lobby does contribute HUGE amounts of cashola to these guys so they can have thier spiffy campaign commercials and what not. And lets not forget the 25 million poker players in the United States. Thats almost 1/10th of the population....a fuck of a lot of registered voters.
Hence....they will toss this aside for the money and the votes. God bless America hehe.

Re: Frist trying to attach online gambling bill to defense bill
Frist has committed himself to the people of Iowa to do everything in his power to get a vote on this bill. This may be his last resort as Senate Majority Leader.
The good news is that MSNBC has already connected the political motivations of Frist and this bill in their story. Frist is out to win over the people of Iowa to get first run for the Republican Nomination and President. Finallly someone in the media has put 2 and 2 togethor to figure this out.
The first major stop is the Iowa Causcus.
Frist did not get support to bring this bill to the Senate floor and I think it's unlikely that he gets the support to attach it to the defense bill.
Politics will kill this bill.
