McCain's Ties to Gambling

Online Gambling


In an extremely long and thorough article about McCain and his gambling 'ties', the New York Times published an article about Senator McCain's love of gambling and his links to the promotion of gambling both in the interest of the Indian casinos in his earlier days and more recently, the Las Vegas casinos.

We read on the Intellectual Conservative a scathing Republican response to what they perceived to be a 'hatchet job' on a supposedly innocent McCain who, as the Intellectual Conservative would like others to know is technically being 'butchered' by democrat partisans.

Calling the New York Times article a 'hit piece', one would assume that McCain himself is so helpless because he simply has this absolute right to gamble as an American citizen, despite reports that he has received monies for favours done. Though we agree that Mr. MCain has every right to gamble, he doesn't have the right to do the latter.

Even worse, if we ever find out that McCain is one of those pushing legislation to do witch hunts on online gamblers and foreign-based gambling sites, then we can just as well call him a two-faced opponent of gambling. As with most state senators and their cohorts trying to tell people what to do with their well-earned money - and that is ... they had better gamble at home in Las Vegas and not online - the true purpose is not that they care about problem gambling but the fact is that they care that all Americans must spend their gambling dollars on American soil for Amercia's profit (and ultimately theirs if they are taking money from the gambling industry to fund their campaigns or lifestyles).

America's problem is that politicians must be either Republican or Democrat. There seems to be nothing in between which is not only wholly unnatural but nonsensical. We suspect that McCain is actually a bit more Democratic than he makes himself out to be. The mere fact that a Republican partisan calls anyone writing negative articles about McCain as being democratic 'partisan' is in itself so laughable it hurts - one has to assume that to be partisan is to be narrow minded - and that rule applies both ways. There cannot be any true reporter or critic that is partisan to either Democrats or Republicans that is worth any salt. One has to see both the positives and negatives and what the party can do for the people - that is all that counts.

So those confused, should weigh how much they think a party will do for them and vote based on this analysis alone rather than trying to defend a partisan position just because its a Republican or Democrat who holds that position. That's why I dream of parties making their arguments on paper without anyone knowing which party is offering which positions and vote for that party one thinks will do their best - the party that seems to have the better plan for the citizens should win. When the voting is over, there would be many surprises which party the citizens actually chose for their leaders. Where gambling is concerned, it is definitely the Republicans who work for self-profit and profits of the upper class and not for everyone.

This is also why we believe that if Senator McCain is truthful and sincere about what he wants to do for the poor man, then he might just be a litlle Democratic. How would Intellectual Republican take that? They might sink in shame.

Countries blame US for Casino Capitalism

Seen at the Associated Press

Various countries are blaming the USA for their 'casino capitalism' and the US government's failure to resolve the financial crisis threatening the foundations of the global free market.

Especially the Latin American leaders say that America must urgently fix the financial crisis it created before the rest of the world's hard-won economic gains are lost.

According to President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, whose economy is highly dependent on U.S. trade:

"The managers of big business took huge risks out of greed, .... What happens in the United States will affect the entire world and, above all, small countries like ours."

Though Europeans seem to have more of a sense of shared responsibility, they also blame the U.S. government for letting things get out of hand. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel delivered scathing remarks last week that stricter financial regulation is needed to prevent unfettered capitalism and all seem to agree that unless this is done, capitalism will destroy economies around the globe.

Brazilian's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated that:

"They spent the last three decades saying we needed to do our chores. They didn't,"

And even staunch U.S. allies like Colombian President Alvaro Uribe blasted the world's most powerful country for egging on uncontrolled financial speculation that he compared to a wild horse with no reins with just as scathing criticism:

"The whole world has financed the United States, and I believe that they have a reciprocal debt with the planet,"

Though global markets on Tuesday seemed to have recovered some of the ground they lost in a worldwide slide the day before, politicians from Europe to South America insisted the risk of a further plunge remains high.

EU Commission spokesman Johannes Laitenberger also delivered an unusually blunt statement from the 27-country European Union:

"The United States must take its responsibility in this situation, must show statesmanship for the sake of their own country, and for the sake of the world."
