Less then 12 hours after announcing that the Republican Party had removed language prohibiting online gambling from their platform the language had been put back to the dismay of many republican fans of online poker and casinos.
On the official 2008 GOPP website you can enter in comments about their proposed ideas for the next presidential term. With help from the Poker Players Alliance the site was swamped with comments complaining that the ban on internet gambling infringed on our freedoms and that where regulating this industry would be welcomed the ban on online gambling was unwelcome.
After receiving all the comments, the Republican Party decided to drop the language in hopes of bringing more people to the Republican Party, by reverting back to the party's roots of being for a less invasive government, unfortunately the party's right wing seems to have pressured the party, because less then 12 hours latter they put the call for a ban on internet gambling back on the platform, to the dismay of many.
The removal of this language would have been the reason many undecided voters would have voted for McCain in this year's Presidential election just to get online gambling legalized in the USA, but for now they will remain undecided.
