But everyone said the Dems would fix the problem though sir.

No, nobody said this. I'm not sure if you're trolling or if you are so partisan that you actually believe your own BS, but you're making a straw man argument here.

On the issue of gambling national Democrats are far preferable to national Republicans because:

-banning all betting on college sports is a part of the official Republican platform

-banning all internet gambling is a part of the official Republican platform

-Nevada books can't hang lines on the Olympics as a result of national Republican efforts

-Congressional Republicans are overwhelmingly against legalizing & regulating online poker, whereas the Democrats are split on the issue with more in favor than opposed

-Congressional Democrats authored and passed the bill that delayed the implementation of the UIGEA from 1/19/09 until 6/1/10 despite large scale Republican opposition.

It has never been proposed that Democratic control of government would result in a panacea for gambling laws. What neutral observers have been saying for years is that the Democrats aren't nearly as bad on the issue as Republicans.
