Foxnews...College Betting ban

[ironlock]

I have seen two stories about a John McCain proposed ban on College Sports Betting on Fox News over the past two days.

Today they had it on over my lunch break and I thought it was very interesting that when the took calls from the viewers all six of the calls were AGAINST THE BAN....

I tried to call but they never answered, boy would that have been fun......I would have said over and over, does JOHN McCAINS's STATE HAVE A LOTTERY?, DOES JOHN McCAINS STATE HAVE A LOTTERY?.....CAN YOU BY INTERNET STOCK IN JOHN McCAIN's STATE?....CAN YOU BY OPTIONS?

They would have said, "Yes", and I would have said, "WELL TELL MR. GOOK to CLEAN UP HIS OWN FUKIN STATE, and then worry about NEVADA!!!!!!!!!"

That guy makes me embarrassed to be a REPUBLICAN....the guy is a war hero, and for that I dont know how much we could ever repay him, but it doesnt excuse him from taking a socialist government interference approach to every FREEKIN problem...

Anyway, you all better write you senators cause if that makes it out of committee, IT WILL PASS.....

Yeah, well still be able to bet, but there wont be anymore SUPERBOWL parties in VEGAS....not like their is now....

Later

By the way, before any of you brain injured politically correct sensitivity trainers go off the handle because I called him "Mr. Gook"....know that I only say that due to the fact that HE refers to them by that name, and is quite unapoligetic for it as well. Ok..

I suppose its understandable from his standpoint.

One would think McCain would be more interested in passing legislation that concerns drug use and abuse. His wife DID admit to using Hydrocodone on a daily basis and wound up detoxing in a Rehabilitation Center. Hell, maybe she likes to gamble as well and this is his way of helping her??

 

[visionary]

If this passes I will committ suicide!!!!

Neemer,

That pretty little wife of McCain's got hooked on hydrocodone? Is that the generic name for Percodan or Percocet or something like that? When did this take place?

You mean to tell me, Iron, that you're not already embarrassed about being a republican?
have a hard time believing that one, bud....

A great oxymoron for everyone:

Intelligent Republican

 

[ironlock]

A better one would be...

"Educated Democrat"

even better

"Principled Liberal"

lol.....

Great shit guys. All I can say is I just love it. Mc Mack, Ironlock, can't be any dummer then Mr. Bush's statment on Taiwan today. I think the guy has a chance at doing ok. But he has to think just a little longer, before he opens that cowboy trap.

Ironlock,

I think the senator's in my state are so paranoid about this issue that it's almost funny. I'm sure most of you don't know this but several years ago they had some problems here about legalizing gambling in AZ. They had a undercover sting here bribing state senators and the like. McCain has been doing his best to keep his name in the news in case he try's to run again. This story was on local radio here in phoenix today and the sentiment was the same about the ban being stupid. I think the senators in my state have had too much sun and have lost their minds. If you do talk to anyone don't forget to mention that arizona also has indian gambling here as well. Ask someone who is for this ban what's difference between losing money at the casino down the street or on a online sportsbook.

Skin....

Generic for Vicodin, Lorcet Plus, Lortab, etc..etc... Percocet and Percodan in another family(oxycodone) but basically have the same benefits. Oxycodone medication is a tad stronger than the medicine that contains hydrocodone.

I read the article on McCain's wife somewhere on the internet. She has openly discussed this matter with the time being around when her husband announced he was running for Prez...

 

[azbob]

Don't forget:

a) McCain was one of the Keating five who cost alot of retirees millions and millions of dollars

b) his wife was stealing those drugs from places where she volunteered

 

[djv]

Im pissed at him. I thought he might make a better prez then Bush. Hey you want to be pissed some more. Check my thread on oil prices. They want to pass laws they can start there.

 

[redsfann]

"Principled Liberal" Now THATS a great one, Iron. Just sorry I didn't think of it before you did.....

With all the money that guys like Steve Wynn put into the pockets of politicians on the Hill, McCain wont get anywhere with this.

I read recently that Steve Wynn alone normally donates about 300k per year to both parties, but last year alone gave close to a million to each. Money talks on the Hill, and McCain walks I think .... at least I hope.

McCain is a scumbag, anyway. He helped get UFC banned by the NSAC because he has been in the back pocket of boxing officials for years. Check his record, he has always been a big supporter of boxing against any criticism but when UFC comes around (which is safer than boxing as far as potential for death or long term bring damage) he makes sure they get shot down and this helps get their PPVs off cable systems. Bastard.
