The Bush Administration is against Gamblers

[MR. LOCK]

Bush fights WTO decision on Net gaming

The Bush administration said Wednesday it would vigorously fight a preliminary ruling by the World Trade Organization that could open the United States to offshore Internet gambling.

The preliminary decision came in a trade dispute with Antigua and Barbuda. The tiny Caribbean nation had contended that U.S. restrictions on Internet gambling violated trade commitments the United States has made as a member of the WTO. Antigua and Barbuda contend that U.S. prohibitions on Americans placing bets in offshore Internet casinos represented an unfair trade barrier.

Well God bless those tiny countries for standing up for their rights.

Bush is planning to "vigorously" fight against an individual freedom? Shocker.

I can't comprehend how any of you would consider voting for this hillbilly, idiotic, cowboy-wannabe piece of garbage. I just can't.

 

[kickserv]

I have a question............

why is the US so against gambling...........I mean you can buy a friggen gun at a dam bank.....but ya can't place a bet :shrug: :shrug:


is it just me.........or doesn't the US gov't have better things to do :shrug:

 

[StevieD]

How long before Bush says the money is supporting terrorists? He uses that terrorism angle as an excuse for everything. Except actually fighting terrorism.

 

[bjfinste]

StevieD- He already did. That was part of the bullshit reasoning behind trying to prevent banks from allowing transfers to offshore books, because "terrorists" were using them to launder money. Okay Georgie, whatever you say.

Puritan ethic pervades much of the old money in this country, who happen to be members of the party to the right side of the aisle. And as we all know, money controls everything. Thats why this current administration will most likely get re-elected.

Much of that party would like to return to the glory days of the 19th century where every family was white, protestant, had a gun, owned slaves, killed indians, ate turkey on Thanksgiving, tried to nail the new school marm, and above all else condemned gambling.

Much like the current administration in this country. Be thankful you live in Canada.

Eddie Maybe you or someone else could share with us any report of a candidate "supporting" off shore gambling.

Look on the bright side---maybe they'll give you rebate on G.A. dues

Puhleese Wayne:

Not many candidates who want to win are going to come out and say they are for gambling (unless your in your home state). You have to look at the candidates who are coming out against it. Sometimes when a candidate is not pushing an issue he is not in favor of it.

Kinda like Clinton not coming out and saying he is for trial lawyers. Not the politically correct thing to do since you and ilk have poisoned public opinion with all the lies and such about frivolous lawsuits.

Like no one is going to say there for porn. However a bunch of your fellow church goers at First Baptist are going to come out "agin" it.

[fletcher]

What do you eat on thankgiving Eddie roasted rat or ground hog? And what is wrong with owning fire arms i have over 10 between hand guns and rifles, it is might right as a responsable gun owner and to blow the shit out of anyone who trys to break in my house and yes i also own a concaeled wepons permit. slaves and kill indians come on your reaching i bet you are one of those aclu trouble makers. where ever thing is wrong but when a real person needs them they are never around and if your white for get about it.

"Like no one is going to say there for porn. However a bunch of your fellow church goers at First Baptist are going to come out "agin" it. "

I beg to differ Ed--your affiliate liberal ACLU attorneys are taking case to supreme court backing NAMBLA's right to promote child ponography on the web.

Glad to see you out there protecting our freedoms

Fletcher:

I usually have tofu with a sprig of mint.

No problem with owning firearms. I believe its amendment number 2. Personally, I don't own any guns and don't really believe we should own guns. Something that was more appropriate in the 18th century.

This is a good example of something I am against but, since it is the law I would support it. As far as your "right" to blow the shit out of anyone who breaks into your home............... do you think you can put that a little more delicately.

How bout you have a right to defend your person and property. I like that better than blowing the shit out of someone. That might get you in some trouble if it is deemed excessive force.

With respect to your comment that I'm one of those ACLU troublemakers and further comment that "if your white forget about it".

Might I remind you that the ACLU has defended many of your friends in the skinhead neo-nazi crowd concerning rights of assembly and speech. Your friends and family members who the ACLU defended are, as you know, lily white.

However, alas, the reality is that I am not one of those ACLU trouble makers (although I like them) but rather just a humble, diligent, back page of the yellow pages, ambulance chaser doing my best to reduce the dividend Allstate pays to its shareholders.

Now kiss my ass you big lug. If those 10 guns you own are loaded and/or if you are going to AC, I withdraw my previous comment.

Ed

Oh yeah, and Wayne, we were talking about politicians supporting various causes. Not the crusaders of individual rights and the protectors of the constitution who take on unpopular causes.

Alan Derschowitz forever,
Rush Limbaugh never.

 

[djv]

I think our government should get to work on some of our real problems.

 

[fletcher]

Never keep a loaded gun, that is not responsable, and it only takes one pump of a shot gun sound to make some one think twice about coming any futher in then they might get + I have 3 dogs and the akita would rip them apart, as far as skin heads and other white trash groups i think they would hang me also since my mom was full blooded itialian last name Calabria and i am also Catholic so sorry not what you think far from it and the only gun ever loaded is the one i have on my person which i am with in my rights with the permit I own and have for over 15 years, also have one for fl. so your wrong my friend and tofu you are joking i hope, that is worse then grits. You need some good food my friend that stuff will kill you nasty tasting yak, but hey i have ate goat and ox tail in s.fl so not one to talk i guess, would rather eat the ground hog over tofu as long as i did not know what it was, and let me refraze my quote the aclu will not do shit for the avg white middle or upper class white american male , a skin head is just what they love take up for scum like them who should have no rights as a group, you talk about slaves but you think skin heads should have rights as a group:shrug:

Would never shot you in ac. now would not mind taking you into the wet lands down the road where the mosquitoes are the size of dragons and the big red ants could carry a car away and tie you to the ground with stakes and rope and of corse no cloths and pour honey all over you then spray you with peanut oil and walk away, would have to tie a bandana around your mouth with a nice chunk of rock salt rapped in it then is stuffed in your mouth, but would never shot you just for being a bleeding heart lib attorney:thefinger

 

[djv]

Im with you Fletch. I believe anyone over 18 should be able to own a gun. I would like to see some of these idiots be taught how to use them the right way.
And rifles with clips of more then 10 rounds may not be needed.
I myself like a nice 12 gauge. I like to hunt ducks. I can use it for dear to if I wish. The slug from a 12 guage will drop them easy.
I also think the government should let a woman have choice.
I dont think they need to tell you and me we have to used seat belts. And get ride of those dumb ass spead limits in some of the weastern states. You can drive for minutes without seeing any other cars. We have these I, system roads so they can hold airplanes. But they think a car cant go over 70 on them.

Fletcher:

While reading your post I somehow had this picture of you sitting at your kitchen table pulling apart the insides of a raw, uncooked, racoon with your bare hands that you had just run over on I-15.

So you want to tie me to the ground with stakes, pour honey all over me and spray peanut oil all over my skinny little attorney body. You're turning me on you big galoot. Call me, we'll do lunch and I'll turn you on to some tofu and strawberry daquiri's.

xxxooo,

don't get me going on about Chretien, he is a BIG baboon. He is currently being investigated by a Commission about a sponsorship scandal.
