    I thought these rightwing bullshitters preach the gov't staying out of peoples lives

    WASHINGTON — A bill to restore a ban on online gaming was introduced Wednesday in Congress, adding another layer to the big-money battle over whether gambling should be allowed on the Internet.
    The bill by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah., seeks to reinstate federal law to prohibit “all forms of Internet gambling.” It comes in the wake of a December 2011 Department of Justice ruling that the relevant law, the Interstate Wire Act of 1961, covers only sports betting.

    Ah if ya dig a little deeper u can always find the right wing agenda. Typical screw a ton of people for a select few to profit

    The Graham-Chaffetz legislation tracks the goals of billionaire Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson, who has financed lobbying campaigns in Washington and in various states to stem the growth of online gaming and roll it back wherever possible.

    these are the scumbags who think slot machines and horse racing are good wholesome family fun activities while sports wagering and poker are devils games.

    bunch of hypocritical sociopaths.

    You mean this isn't about family values and morals?
