Republican False Alarm
Online Gamblers in the United States had a brief moment of elation this week, when it appeared that a provision prohibiting Internet gambling was stripped from the Republican platform by a draft committee.
But it was then re-inserted hours later Tuesday by the full Republican Platform Committee, giving Americans yet another reason to ensure the Republican party is voted out of office in the upcoming presidential election.
Hundreds of voters expressed their displeasure via public comments on the Republican Platform Committee’s website.
Former World Series of Poker champion, Greg Raymer, had this to say; “My point is simple,” wrote Raymer.
“Is the Republican Party no longer the party of personal freedom and individual responsibility? Why has this party, that used to protect my rights, now become the party that wants to create a Nanny-state? Stay away from issues of personal liberty, except to remove old laws that restrict these liberties.”
We agree with you Fossilman.
