Politico talks online gambling

[The Buzz]

Politico is one of the most popular political blogs on the Internet, and the site posted a story yesterday entitled "Support grows for gambling law change."

Politico even quoted a staunch gambling opponent who said that Barney Frank will be better prepared in passing a repeal of the UIGEA.

“It’s going to be an uphill battle to stop it this time,” said Alabama Rep. Spencer Bachus, the ranking Republican on the Financial Services Committee and a longtime gambling opponent who calls the pastime the nation’s “fastest-growing addiction.”

“We caught them off guard last time,” he said. “This time, they won’t be off guard.”

Fastest growing addiction... Does he make this BS up as he goes.

They slip the UIGEA in and say "we caught them off guard."

Bachus is full of it.

I think a good battle lies ahead the ethnocentric vs freedom.

This time round it should indeed be different.
