    2 steps forward, 1 step back. Gonna be a slow grueling process.

    “They didn’t even use the word ‘internet gambling,’” council member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6), another advocate of repealing the online poker law, said during the hearing. “They used the word ‘i-gambling.’

    seriously?

    I really hope they are doing this to give the feds some time. Could they really be this dumb? Could they really care about the addictive gamblers that much? WTF is going on? The money is just sitting there and waiting for you idiots to take it.......

    its obv. that anything that involves marion barry is never a good thing

    the ppa said better than 50% chance legislation by June ............................ehhhhhhhhhhh i dont think so!

    if they didnt know what i- gambling was why would you vote on it anyhow ,bunch of dumbasses everywhere

    obviously the consumer protection argument was the key component to getting it to pass,so i say we start screaming we want protection now,fk the dumb

    and who care what those dumbasses do in DC , with a crackhead tryn to put his stamp on poker .



    nevada is gonna hopefully be the pioneer state and get this ball rolling...rebel gonna rebel
