John Kyl may be the biggest douchebage on the planet...

[MartinBlank]

And forget his political affiliation for a second---I don't care if he is a Republican or a Democrat.

For the record he is a Republican---and he was one of the architects of UIGEA and pushed for its attachment to the Port Act in the dead of night.

After that-----he causes a stir by insisting the UIGEA's implementation and enforcement begin last year---and he even refused to vote on routine judicial appointements until the Treasury committed to enforcing UIGEA.

And now here we sit-----one year later and Kyl has suddenly changed his mind and now supports legalzing poker and perhaps other casino games.

Why? Because Kyl was bought and sold. Sands CEO Sheldon Aldeson has donated some serious cash to GOP causes---and he supports online gambling---and now suddenly Kyl is dropping his efforts to stop it.

I f'in hate politicians----all of them. Democrats and Republicans.

It's incredible to me how people can get passionate of one side over another. I'd prefer not to pick one crooked scumbag over another.

[stevek173]

I am a politician and I dont' appreciate this kind of talk. I work very hard to lead the people.

[jgray]

Hypocrisy sucks, but this is better, right? I mean we have progress and an obstacle to legalization has been removed.

Guess I'm a cup half full guy.

[pavyracer]

This Kyl guy would sell his family for profit. Miserable human being.

[WvGambler]

Maybe I'll run for office and get us out of this mess.

Exactly once the money stops coming into buy votes and magically they can flip flop.

[Glitch]

yeah hes been a piece of sh*t for a long time.

[jimkotecki]

Is this some kind of foreign country thing? I've never heard of this guy.

[actiondan]

Any fukctard that voted for him should be waterboarded and he deserves to be flown to Syria and dropped from a plane. Kiss my fat hairy ass kyl.

[CarpeDime]

just FYI about Kyl - he is the only one who ever tried to turn placing a bet into a federal crime

Thats great news

[donnyguru]

He is not running for re-election, so he doesn't have to cater to the religious zealots who showered him with votes previously. He can play for the Sinner Team and get a money shower instead.

[ttwarrior1]

uh he is no longer in office, he is retired

[MartinBlank]

uh he is no longer in office, he is retired

ttwarrior...I knew you were dumb, but I never thought you were this monumentally stupid.

Kyl announced he would not be seeking re-election. HOWEVER, his current term DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL January 3rd, 2013.

Now, if you look in the lower right hand corner of your computer----or if you look at any post on SBR--you will see a date stamp indicating we are in August of 2011. 2013 has not come yet. Understand?
