Why do republicans come to SBR to post?

[robzilla]

Republicans made offshore gambling illegal.
It would be like a Dem posting about Bush on an NRA site.

[pavyracer]

I think you are confusing douchebags with Republicans.

They arent the same thing?

[Mudcat]

In terms of why SBR and not another offshore betting forum, it may have a lot to do with SBR's lack of moderation. I think a lot of sites would move their posts to an appropriate, less busy sub-forum but SBR affords them more attention in Player's Talk.

Many forum people just want attention, whatever their political stripes.

In terms of why do Repubs post at betting forums at all, I dunno. Betting is just one of a zillion political issues. It is not unheard of for someone to agree with their party on some issues and not others. Well maybe that is unheard of for Republicans. But I'm sure they can twist it around in their minds so that it's the Democrats who are to blame for the more difficult offshore betting situation and therefore their world can remain black and white.

Whatever, it basically comes back to neediness for attention.

Over/Under on the next post that states SBR moderates too much?

BBD IS SMART

if dems like the cock gobbler barney frank legalize online gambling it will be taxed so hard it will be unbeatable period. I enjoy making money, not paying for fascist fag government programs.

By the way, why do dumbocrats insist on grouping libertarians and anyone who doesn't believe in government control all together as republicans. It's not just republicans that can think for themselves and see that your big government bullshit doesn't work.

Right-wing forum trolls aren't merely Republicans. Most of these guys seem to lead sheltered lives - I'd guess that close to 100% are unilingual and have never stepped outside their country. Most of their exposure to "left-wing liberal nutjobs" is through the sensationalist media and since they don't personally know anyone who doesn't share their exact values/beliefs, Internet forums such as these are the perfect outlet for their frustration.

It was fascinating to see guys like BBD so incredulous during the Obama/McCain campaign - how can a left-wing intellectual win the presidency?!? That's unpossible! No one likes him!

The same phenomenon applies to the extreme left-wing nutjobs, obviously. I live in a hippie-chic part of town that is socialist to a fault - our own Conservative PM is seen as the Antichrist and is mostly depicted as such in the local media.

I'd rather waste my time making fun of JJ.

Gambling isnt taxed at all here in Canada, infact the proceeds from the OLGC in Ontario go to pay for everything.

robzilla until u become an American stay the **** out of American business, you canadian ****

It may not be a direct tax but believe you me, everything is taxed here in Canada.

There's the answer.

Now this will rub some the wrong way, but no matter which way you slice it that's an excellent post.

[jjgold]

More Reps post here than Dems, no biggie.

[wtf]

i think rob means ANYONE who does not subscribe to his left wing out of touch of reality thoughts is a republican

[pavyracer]

I like the people that liked the post calling them midgets.

[Matt Rain]

The OLGC, Loto-Québec et al. are government-owned corporations. The house edge is the tax.

Well I went to public schools my whole life, thus had friends of all political backgrounds.

The question the OP is asking "why do repubs come to a gambling forum?" is like asking why republicans have sex. Gambling is something that is not limited to a certain type of person. Therefore you will have republicans in gambling forums.

By the way, any white person who voted for Obama, voted against his or her own race and promoted the echoing laughter coming from the White house nightly that Obama actually convinced "whitey" that they should vote for him because whitey "owed the blacks a big favor".

I say this because I believe that Obama is racist to an extreme against whites (even though he is half white). The proof is there for all whites to see, however they somehow overlooked it. I think its because most of them don't have cable TV or internet so they never understood that Obama was associated with a preacher who called white people white devils and preached hatred of the way America has been run since 1776. The way that got the US to the most powerful position in the world.

The association with Jeremiah Wright and the giving of large amounts of money to that racist POS over like 20 years is the smoking gun, bullet, and fingerprint all in a nice package that proves Obama is a racist. How did he get 1 white vote? I'll never understand how.

With that being said I am no republican, or democrat. To call yourself one of either is to limit yourself in a way that the America media wants you to limit yourself. Because if people start thinking outside the box and actually *gasp* become their own person, America will return to small government and freedom of the people. But that won't get ratings on the TV argument fests between dumb and dumber so the media will keep dividing the sheep into 2 flocks.

Start thinking for yourself on every matter guys. Don't call yourself a republican or democrat. Its what the media wants. And these days the media holds most of the power in this country.

so being multilingual and traveled gives you some kind of insight in american politics?

[DwightShrute]

Agreed! Why do people use that line always? What does that have anything to do with anything?

[pavyracer]

This is the reason I voted for Bob Barr in the last elections. When you don't like black or white the best option is gray.

[Bluehorseshoe]

....Because it gives you a different perspective on things.

It's like banging the same girl everyday of your life (...and only her.) and saying she's the best ever. How do you know??

[Matt Rain]

My point was that the typical angry right-wing forum troll is close-minded
and fearful of difference.

I agree with WileOut that there's no paradox in having Republicans posting on a gambling forum, unless you think that you should comply 100% with the values/morals/lifestyle of the party you voted for. If that were the case, I'd wanna shoot myself.

I have zero insight in american politics - I'm just fascinated by the sight of such a deeply polarized country.

Carry on.

Exactamundo.

[WileOut]

Horseshoe I have to disagree. It doesn't give you a different perspective. It simply allows you to speak to people who only speak that language.

I understand that some languages have different words for things, like eskimos have like 100 different words for different kinds of snow. But its just because they get so much snow. Nothing deep there.

[WileOut]

Robzilla you are also wrong in that republicans did not make offshore gambling illegal. Its still not illegal to place a bet federally.

[DwightShrute]

....Because it gives you a different perspective on things.

It's like banging the same girl everyday of your life (...and only her.) and saying she's the best ever. How do you know??

That's the example you're gonna use to make your point? It would be like me saying the Vancouver hockey fans are the best ever? They could be and so could your girlfriend? What did you and I really accomplish with those examples? NOTHING

I know what you are trying to say, and while I will agree it might give you a different perspective on things, you don't need to travel to have that.

[pico]

there is no difference between rep and dem. all bunch of lying scumbags. nacy pelosi and newt gingrich both spend tax payer dollar like crackhead lotto winners.

[losturmarbles]

This is the reason I voted for Bob Barr in the last elections. When you don't like black or white the best option is gray.

Enrolling at the University of Southern California in 1965, he joined the Young Democrats and participated in rallies against the Vietnam War. Then he started reading Ayn Rand, the Russian-born author of "Atlas Shrugged" and other grim parables on the evils of totalitarianism. The experience affected him so deeply, he shed his sympathies and joined the Young Trojan Republican Club.

No, people do.

That's why certain states in this country vote the way they do..... EVERY SINGLE ELECTION and it's because their parents voted that way, their friends vote that way, etc. There's a reason that happens.

Just so you know, I voted for Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr.

BINGO! nailed it. Everyone should travel for a year or two. It would be nice if people here could see others around the world are just like us, rather than being afraid of something they dont know much about.

most people are clueless and have no business voting period. if they learn a second language or live in europe for a year, it isnt going to change that.
