A few days back the two founders of Neteller were arrested here in the United States. This was than followed by Neteller disallowing U.S. citizens from transferring money to and from online poker sites or "gambling" sites. Eighty to ninety percent of all online poker players used the Neteller service as a secure way to protect their money online. Unfortunately the Unlawful Gambling Bill has now taken a step forward to ban online gambling and take away our freedoms. I truely feel as though I have been robbed of my freedoms. It's almost like getting fired from a job with no substantial reasoning. This all stems from the Republican party.
Again I state, the Republicans sponsored the HR 4594 Bill which passed very simply in the House. Bill Frist was successful in sneaking this into the Safe Port Act without much time for anyone to realize what exactly the Bill included. A typical "scum bag" move in which most politicians are capable of. So basically, the Republican Party made it impossible to vote against. If any Democrats voted against it, they would be seen as people who wanted terrorists to kill your family and ruin our country. So what happens is the terrorists are in a WIN/WIN situation and get exactly what they want. They made our own people take away our own rights away!
Very well played Republican Party. I thought the Republican party was all for small government and individual rights? I geuss I am wrong. Maybe its because the Republican party has been taken over by religious fundamentalists who have lost their minds in recent years?! I mean how does the Republican party feel that online poker is immoral, yet online lottery and horse-racing gets an exemption? Fuckin Hypocrits! Get a clue you Bastards! The funny thing is poker is a game of skill that many of our greatest Presidents enjoyed and played for years.
Possible solutions:
1. Seperate Poker as a skilled game and not as a form of degenerate gambling such as: Sports betting, Table games such as BlackJack, roulette, craps, online slot machines and other casino games.
2. Have the major online sites open up their wallets and start lobbying. Eliminate all other forms of "gambling" on the major sites and become "Poker" only.
3. Setup Poker funding sites. Allow such company's to fund poker sites and keep strict records for Tax purposes.
4. Vote: Non-Republican at the polls.
One last thing, by no means do I feel that banning any gambling activities is correct. I feel people should be allowed to spend their money on whatever the fuck they want to. GFY Bill Frist! End of conversation.
