    This is such a fuckin joke. Guy fools thousands of young, poker playing voters, by announcing his strong stance on bringing casinos into KY, and his "pro" stance on gambling,... then he pulls this shit. I'm embarrassed to say i voted for this assclown. Guys get to office,..and do whatever they want to do,..as long as they have enough money thrown at them. This is just his way to appease all the big money in this state that comes from the horse racing industry, then covering it up by using the "unregulated",.."community morality" cop out.

    IMPEACHMENT FTW!!!!!!!!!!

    is it possible that maybe some of the payment processors used to fund these illegally run poker sites have been involved in money laundering by terrorists? if they could show an example, id hope lots of people here would renounce their displeasure with the governor's decision

    I have lived ten minutes from Turfway Park for 10 years and have never been to the track... I just don't get how online poker underminds horse-racing.

    First, let me call oliver stone and let him know that my constant bad beats are a coverup on worldwide scale to finance terrorism...FININT at it's best!

    I'd be better off with my lucien sarti killed JFK theory...err...i mean LBJ and the CIA in conjunction with mobsters killed JFK.

    I think i am going to call people that "bad beat" me a terrorist from now on. If i die suspiciously within the next month, then I was onto something! Contact Nat Arem if the above comes to fruition, he'll know what to do.

    Me to. If they add casinos, it will not effect me either. I have been to Belterra 1x and Argosy 1x.
