What an interesting comment. Because of the religious right's opposition to gambling, alcohol and abortion, I changed my voter registration from Republican to independent and held my nose and voted for Al Gore. They can't ban these so they try with peripheral issues like internet gambling credit card bans, stronger DWI laws, and making malpractice insurance unaffordable for abortion clinics. So I'm caught in the middle. I didn't vote for either U.S. senate candidate on Tuesday. All the Republican candidates toed the religious right's line. If you had listened to Barney Frank hilariously ridiculing the Goodlatte bill and the religious right's forcing their morality on the rest of us, I think you would come around to my side. I will say the Republicans should be worried that they have veered to the right of Ronald Reagan. Nancy Reagan is lobbying for stem cell research. I think intenet gambling scare the **** out of them because even they realize the potential.
