Democrats as morality cops?

Is the governor of Massachusetts trying to criminalize online gambling?
"The Boston Globe reports that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is trying to sneak a provision to criminalize online gambling. The bill, if passed, would make online gambling punishable by up to 2 years in prison and $25k in fines."

It would be a bad idea, no matter whether it was a Republican or Democrat trying to do it.
If this happens, Republicans and conservatives need to remember their libertarian side and oppose it with everything they've got.
