It should be 99-100, shouldn't it?
I am telling you something is very odd.
The republicans passed their port security bill and they had a great victory in passing anti gaming regulation that they have been trying to pass for 10 years. Yet in 3 days since the Republicans put every effort in the world to get this bill through, the Republican president has not signed it. Wouldn't one think he would sign it at first opportunity so the Republican religious wing could claim a great victory and start campaigning.
Maybe this means nothing, but to me, it is bizarre. Even if he plans to sign it at the very least, he and his party is waiting and observing public opinion.
Every major news source has done stories on this and every poll has shown 80-90% of people think this law is bullshit.
You can be reasonably sure the WTO, Europe, and countries like Antigua have contacted the white house.
And there is always the slim chance that with thehow long is your dick man running the front page news, the Republicans don't want to piss anyone else off.
Remember Frist is a dick. Frist is crazy. Frist thought everyone in the world hates gambling and would vote for him if this got through.
There are some very bright Republicans. They are not all morons. They know both the senate and house are going to be tightly contested and the presidency will be as well in 2 years. Trust me some of these advisors read these boards. They know right now, every ounce of the media is laughing at them. They NOW know that millions upon millions of Americans believe gambling should not be outlawed. Many who don't care about gambling still don't like the idea that banks will be monitoring their transactions. And finally, the whole world is now aware of how ass backwards Frist acted.
I don't think President Bush will send the bill back to congress, but I think there is a chance he is does so or waits till after elections to sign it. If he sent it back and demanded this personal rights issue is removed, he would gain a lot after all the liberties he and his party have eliminated. I can't believe Bush (Who gambles on oil all the time) gives a shit about gambling. Don't be stunned if he doesn't sign.
