Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Talks About UIGEA
UIGEA...some real fine Republicon Domestic bs...
Quote:
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is one of those rare politicians who seems to be in office for reasons other than ego or personal gain.
Closer to being a Libertarian than a contemporary Republican, he has served more than 10 years representing Texans in the House of Representatives since 1976 (he’s been in office since 1997, but served two other times). He believes the government should stay as far out of Americans’ lives as possible and sees the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) as a dangerous precedent in the battle to regulate the Internet.
Paul is an outspoken opponent of the UIGEA and is a co-signer of Congressman Barney Frank’s bill that would prevent Federal employees from implementing the rules of the UIGEA, which would essentially kill it. He has been critical of the UIGEA during committee hearings about the bill.
His testimony at last month’s hearing on the rules and regulations of the UIGEA sums up his position: “The ban on Internet gambling infringes upon two freedoms that are important to many Americans: the ability to do with their money as they see fit, and the freedom from government interference with the Internet.”
Earlier this week, he took time from his schedule to talk with CardPlayer.com about the UIGEA.

As soon as they start regulating Gambling on the internet it will be like a domino effect. Then there won't be any freedom of speech. Leave my internet alone! If I want to go Bankrupt gambling on the internet, that’s my business.

That seems to be Ron Paul's position...one of the things that pisses me off in all of this is that they couldn't even get it passed on its own merit...they had to attach it to a "must pass" Port Security bill...bs politics as usual.

More bullshit on the part of our government. Can't get it done on its own merit, hence stick it on another bill, keep it under the radar and shove it down the throats of the American People. What the hell does regulation of the internet have to do with "Port Security".

Does that mean you agree with the UIGEA and how it was passed?

If you don't like McCain your a communist. Please, sounds like neo-cons trying to shove the patriot act down our throat. If your not for it your un-patriotic. Communism is dead and just a good piece of propaganda to keep you scared. If your voting for McCain simply because of the old Communist scare. Your still living in the 70's, 80's at best.
Ron Paul is a kook. I'll consider the source. For believe me "Strong_as_Steel" thats like being called Stalin in Russian. Your stuck way back in the past. Are you still doing the weekly Nuke bomb shelter test as we did in grade school?
