U.S. Republican Party Attempts to Deceive Poker Players

The United States Republican Party and its current leader, President George Bush and its candidate for President, John McCain have attempted to pull a fast one on the U.S. poker players. First, in what appeared to be a response to the email barrage from the Poker Players Alliance, the party removed anti-online gaming language from the party platform. And they made a big deal about it to the media.
No so much noise when a few hours later they slipped this language back in to their party policy platform:
“Millions of Americans suffer from problem or pathological gambling that can destroy families. We support legislation prohibiting gambling over the Internet or in student athletics by student athletes who are participating in competitive sports.”
.
I guess all U.S. poker players now have a clear statement by the republicans about what they think of your right to play poker online. Now what are you going to do about it?
