Rick Santorum has come out against online poker....in NV of all places.
He calls online gaming "dangerous for our country."

Here he is with Joe Ralston: http://www.lasvegassun.com/videos/2012/jan/31/6265, time point 8:17 through time point 11:00.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/ricksantorum and https://twitter.com/#!/senatorsantorum (the second Twitter account has far fewer followers, but is still active)

Nothing says radical closed-mindedness like radical closed-mindedness.

Shocker.

This is a good thing as it brings more attention to the issue imo. I think Romney will be in support of regulated web gaming. Not sure he'd make a statement on the matter though.

Good move, he's definitely going to win Nevada now.

****ing retard

Hearing his stance on web gaming and hearing his stance on the nuclear waste stuff right after exposes him as the hypocrit scum that he is.

ChaosReigns · 02-01-2012, 02:21 PM

A version of his first name is highly appropriate.

Vices on the internet tend to grow exponentially.

If he comes out stridently pro-Israel, it is not Nevada he is trying to win, but something in Nevada.

i think santorum has said enough batshiz crazy things that most people are just ignoring him now. the people that agree with this will still agree with this; people who don't care or support this will not change their minds for santorum.

Yesterday, the political talk shows were talking about how Santorum is already out of money and no longer important. This sounds like his last ditch effort to please his base before he quits.
