FCP Bob 1,312 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The chances of Federal Online Poker legislation happening appear to be as far away as ever. Republicans Insert Anti Online Poker Plank into Party Platform And here's the PPA's response. http://theppa.org/newsletters/2012/08/29/weekly-update-gop-platform-calls-for-a-prohibition-of-online-poker-08292012/ Link to post Share on other sites
TrueAce13 18 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Lol. Edit: Meh, seems like the standard republican stance on this issue, tho them overlooking the amount of money that can be made if/when federally regulated Link to post Share on other sites
Lrgetrout 1 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Once again, Republicans try to see how far they can stick their heads up their asses. It's stuff like this that illustrates why America is quickly becoming a one party country. Link to post Share on other sites

All In Jim 0 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like the anti online poker owner of the Venetian, Sheldon Adelson's 10 million+ campaign contribution is beginning to pay dividends. But if they lose it's just more money down the toilet like the multi-millions he gave Newt Gingrich. Link to post Share on other sites
mrpaddyx 13 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Does this mean an automatic vote for the Democrats if you are a poker player? Link to post Share on other sites
All In Jim 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Does this mean an automatic vote for the Democrats if you are a poker player? If poker is your main concern, I would say yes. I doubt you'll ever see Mitt Romney's arm around Daniel. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I thought they were supposed to be the party of smaller government, less regulation, and pro-business? Link to post Share on other sites
Lrgetrout 1 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I thought they were supposed to be the party of smaller government, less regulation, and pro-business? One saying has stuck with me... "Republicans want to make government small enough to fit under your bedroom door." This kind of makes sense in that context. Link to post Share on other sites
All In Jim 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Looks like the anti online poker owner of the Venetian, Sheldon Adelson's 10 million+ campaign contribution is unfortunately beginning to pay dividends. But if they lose it's just more money down the toilet like the multi-millions he gave Newt Gingrich. Update: I was watching PBS last night and they had the author of the political book, "The Party is Over". He stated Adelson has given 36 million so far and plans ot give 100 million by election time. He also said when you give that kind of money you expect something in return. Link to post Share on other sites

He's more concerned with getting the US to bomb Iran than he is online poker. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably true, but if we are to believe Sheldon Adelson's words he is against online poker and the Republicans just made it part of their official platform to come out against online gambling.

Oh, I agree with you. I was just pointing out that he isn't spending $100 Million to stop online gaming, it's just going to be collateral damage from what he really wants.
