Comments on: Bush Moves To Shut Down Web Gambling

White House Working To Finish Regulations Enforcing Law Against Internet Gambling

What this article fails to mention is the exclusion of off-track betting, which is still legal. Either ban all of it or ban none of it!

What''s NEXT, Dubya - prohibition?

God been talkin with ya agin?

The stock market is online gambling. You bet your pick to go up or bet it to go down. And the worst part????????????? It is RIGGED! Surprised?

Insiders rig the information releases and drive the stock price in the direction of their choosing. And guess what.....it ain''t rigged in YOUR favor ! Imagine that!

Leave it to this administration to ignor the gambling of Wall Street of course bailt them out then turn around and worry about Internet Gambling.

Hey fiscal family value party of god here is a clue your hero is doomed to suffer from history that will judge him without mercy.

Now go sit down and let us have our country back. Keep talking and you will be even more in the minority in 2 years.

We took a chance on Bush and lost BIG-TIME.

Gambling is a sin and makes the blue eyed white baby Jesus cry. Our government must stop it now or God will send pestillence on us.

LOL! He already did, eight years of Bush, where have you been?

[omega40]

He ignored the runaway gambling on wall street that destroyed the economy but worries about what someone may do in the privacy of their own home. This has become typical of the Republican party.

I''ll give you 3 to 1 odds Bush doesn''t pull this off before his term ends. Mealy-mouthed interfering gubment idjits.

[dronemonk]

Moe nanny state legislation. Tell me again how free we are...

[sly_64]

Well since I see people think that e-trade is part of this, again I say GROW UP. He is talking about gambling sites, not E-Trade

I know people who lost way more money on E-Trade than on internet gambling. Don''t get me wrong, I like ETrade, but investing like that is another form of gambling.

[sly_64]

Does this mean he is shutting e-trade down?

HaHa, oh yeah, it''s basically the same thing.

Prohibition has shown us that you can''t legislate morality. If the jerk gets this thru, it will be reversed very soon after he''s sent back to Crawford to shovel s*** for the rest of his miserable life.

I don''t gamble online. I know people who play poker on Full Tilt. I have to say, if the Repugs want smaller government, doesn''t this law make it bigger? And who do they think they are telling me whether I can sit in my living room and play poker online? The Repugs scream about giving health insurance to children but they have time to police presumed adults who are gaming online? Get out of my business, government!

I don''''''''t know if this is a good idea or not, all I know is that several folks I am acquainted with have gotten into very serious trouble with this.

And what of it? This type of person will indulge him/herself whether gambling is legal or not. Slot machines, lottery, bingo, etc. are just some of the outlets they would use. Difference is, with the exception of bingo, which the government keeps purposely small, the ''legal'' gambling is controlled by the government, so they get the profits - to spend on schools (yeah, right...hey people I have a bridge in NYC for sale). Obama should do the right thing:
Tell Bush if he pardons any of his croneys, then the full arm of the law will fall on HIM, make him take the fall for all their lawlessness. While he is at it, maybe put up a fence around Texas, it is just a human toxic waste generator.

Gambling off the Internet and back on the Reservation...

And who''s fault is that ? They sound like irresponsible people. We don''t need government to protect us from ourselves.

Bush''s only good idea so far....go for it!
