Online gamblers hit a wall


A mistake that is going to bite the GOP

Radley Balko hits the nail on the head for the public response to the gaming bill.

At risk of falling victim to the pundit's fallacy, I think this is going to come back to bite Frist and the GOP. Think about it. Over the last week, some 10-15 million Americans who play online poker logged on to their favorite poker sites, only to get a message telling them that, thanks to the U.S. Congress, they're no longer allowed to play. The GOP just politicized a rather large group of people who heretofore were rather apolitical. And they skew rather wealthy.

He's right. It's a law that never should have passed and it shows exactly what the Congressional GOP leadership thinks about individual rights.

KYFHO now and forever.
