There are a couple more I could support but she's at the top of my list! Now if the republicans nominate Rudy...I'd have to think about it...I do like that guy!

Oh no! No! Somer, I beg of you; don't fall for the Giuliani hype! I'll find some links...

I wish the Gore who showed up to the MTV Video Awards...

"I actually was not intending to be here tonight, but then MTV explained that Justin Timberlake was bringing sexy back."

... had been around in 2000. Oy. What is it about running for President that turns candidates into two-by-fours? Gore, Kerry, Dole...

Al Gore invented the ozone layer and the republicans want to take it away. Oh the horror!!

True, but they are talking about on-shore horse racing, not offshore, rebates BYE BYE

[2MinsToPost]

correct, the folks at Americatab and their no rebate biz gotta be loving this

[timmgirvan]

So that leaves TVG(cough) and Youbet as the only viable rebate/rewards sites in US?

and they don't necessarily have rebates, they have reward programs that are essentially garbage

[timmgirvan]

Scavs: agreed!

TVG is complete garbage. I bet they raise their fees accordingly considering the news.

Pinny and the others will come up w/an alternative way to transfer funds, I guarantee you. And snail mail is still an option; a bit inconvenient, but with 7% at stake, its worth it.

Do you think your beloved Israel would get the same support with those two?.

This is so going to backfire on them. More people gamble on the internet then they think and they are not all democrats. I tend to think of myself as a conservative person but this will push me away from voting for people that believe in this bill How stupid can the government be.

The crash in stocks of euro and caribbean gaming companies is a vast overreaction to the passage of this bill and anyone who likes money would be wise to buy low now so you can sell high later.

The idea that you will be unable to move money through an offshore account is laughable. They have driven it underground. Look for new sites set up in the next few days that will take your money and forward it to any site you want.

You won't be able to use a $US demoninated credit card but if you were using a credit card to fund your gambling you were already an idiot.

Chromer i have to disagree. I use a credit card for all gaming transactions, much eaiser to cancel a credit card if they lose it then your back account. Beyond that, i earn cash back on all purchases. it doesn't matter what you use to put funds in your account. As long as you can afford it.
