Texas House Republicans vote to eliminate the lottery....NOT

Jewish Lawyer's Avatar
The lottery debate took place in the 1980s and early 90s, douchebag. It was passed into law while Ann Richards was government. You honestly believe that an editorial from Amarillo written almost a decade after it was passed corroborates your generalization that liberals opposed the implementation of the lottery? In other words, you aren't proving your point, you're trying to revise it. Your statement was bullshit and we ALL know it.

You're a fool. And this proves it. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Here is how that ethical start began:

From Wikipedia:

She appointed then State Representative Lena Guerrero of Austin to a vacancy on the Texas Railroad Commission. The Hispanic Guerrero (1957–2008) was the first non-Anglo to serve on the commission in history. However, problems over falsification of her resume led to her resignation from the commission and defeat by the Republican Barry Williamson in the 1992 general election.

We don't need to buy midwest water, Lake Mead and the Colorado have plenty of it.
But as much travel I do in Texas, it sure would be fun to hit a few casinos while visiting.

How so, casino gambling benefits casino owners and almost no one else. So opposing it makes some sense, doesn't it?

The Baptists do not hold that much power - there are lots of reasons to oppose casinos, among them they promise the moon and deliver leftovers from the grille. After the dog refused to eat it.
They don't pay shit to their employees, either - they make WTF look generous.

mentioning my personal experience with gambling in this state isn't an option, but believe me I have more than you can imagine, and the rightwing do-gooders are by far the leading cause of people having to go to Oklahoma to play the slots
