the sheldon adelson crew on chuckie todd's show

[spanone]

these three paid stooges are on the adelson payroll talking about how online gambling
will destroy america......from a man who's made his wealth from gambling.

ex politicians for hire=

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), former Gov. George Pataki (R-N.Y.), and former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb (D).



At one point, Adelson's estimated wealth was $26.5 billion, making him the third-richest person in the United States according to Forbes for 2007.[69] and $26 billion for 2008.[70] In 2008, the share prices of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. plunged. And in November 2008, Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced that it might default on bonds that it had outstanding, signaling the potential bankruptcy of the concern.[71] Adelson lost $4 billion in 2008, more than any other American billionaire.[72][73] His net worth declined from approximately $30 billion to $2 billion, or 93%.[74] He told ABC News "So I lost $25 billion. I started out with zero...(there is) no such thing as fear, not to an entrepreneur. Concern, yes. Fear, no."[75]
In the Forbes 2009 world billionaires list, Adelson's ranking dropped to #178 with a net worth of $3.4 billion,[76] but in 2011 he was ranked as the world's 16th-richest man with a net worth of $23.3 billion.

1. Your skepticism is justified

I gotta say it was pretty refreshing to see a panel of mixed gender, mixed race and mixed party having a civil discussion.

That said, as a gambling fan (as in I love doing it when I can get the chance) it can't be an open-the-flood-gate issue is spite of existing legal online gambling.

They all made good points as to child safety and "the guy half loaded at 1am," but while Adelson surely is thinking of his own bottom, er, line. Their are plenty of working folks in AC and Vegas who stand to lose income from this law.
