A Pair of Assholes

[daoilman]

I know it has been a while but no player should ever forget the two biggest assholes who fcked American poker players out of on line poker.

Both of them were unseated since.

Thanks a lot assholes.

Bill Frist was the Senator Majority Leader from 2003 until 2007. As Majority Leader, he was instrumental in attaching the UIGEA to the SAFE Port Act. The move was entirely political, as the bill had no chance of passage on its own. When Frist attached the UIGEA to the SAFE Port Act he essentially guaranteed its passage. There was no opportunity for opposition or debate. Congress was about to recess for mid-term elections and any politician who voted against a port security bill would be torn apart at the polls. It was an underhanded and undemocratic move and poker players across the country are still feeling the effects today.

Dude, BeerDog, thanks for the points, but you don't need to do that, I hustle points all the time, and being a non-pro I can't return the favor, wish I could, well anyways, thanks again and I'm glad that you enjoyed the reading about those two assholes.

It doesn't matter if it was these two clowns because more scum would have come down the line anyways. It was never about protecting us citizens from the evils of gambling. It was all about making sure our local casinos, lotteries and bingo halls could make more money.

Agreed, and thus when those entities make more the government gets a bigger cut.
