I don't have any problems with 2p2 using this kind of advertising. If you are too stupid to realize this guys message sucks, then there probably wasn't much hope for you to begin with.

Obv the big one is when Mitt Romney announces his stance imo.

I disagree, mainly because Romney has proven over and over again that he will say *anything* to get elected and is an even bigger flip-flopper than John Kerry.

Just curious if anybody does not see Santorum as President as an unmitigated disaster for us. Gingrich, Paul, Romney or Obama and at least we are probably ok as our relief will not come directly from the WH, but from Congress; and the executive branch merely needs to go along. But, unless everything is signed, sealed and delivered with no chance of any impact from the WH, then I believe Santorum would be hugely bad for us. The guy is a social and neo conservative fanatic. The only good thing, I guess, is that he would probably have us at war so quickly that maybe he wouldn't bother with Ipoker, but I doubt it.

What I don't get is how he and Paul are in the same party. Those two are farther apart from each other than either is from Obama.

This is pretty much true about Paul and most Republicans.

Do not know if he is small government, but Chad Hills of CitizenLink definitely fits the second part and Santorum is their poster boy, I think.

It is like the "Twilight Zone" on these forums....2008 Democrat President elected, Democrat Senate wins majority, Democrat House of Representative wins majority, all three bodies are Democrat controlled, and of course the DOJ gets Holder, a Democrat....how'd that work out for us regarding not only poker but everything else?

Unless the legislature deems to give the next President the line-item veto, it would be very hard for him, R or D, to stop online poker...if we keep fighting for it.

Santorum talks about Romney's hypocrisy so this might be a good place to comment about Santorum's hypocrisy in wanting limited government, limited interference in people's lives, but he doe not want us to play poker online.

Santorum changes no ones opinions about anything, except if he is the GOP candidate, then lots of folks alter their opinion of not voting for Obama! LOL

Same here.

I'm not suprised that this is Santorum's view, and I'm disappointed, and I'm glad that he stated it for the record.

My wife and I are Christians and conservative Republicans, and have in the past been very active both in our church and in the Republican party. I was a county Republican volunteer of the year, and my wife was president of the Republican women's group.

If Gingirch gets the Republican nomination, my wife will not cast a vote for president, because she can't vote for someone who bailed on his wife while she was fighting cancer. If Santorum gets the nomination, I might be the one sitting it out.

If this changed anyone's mind about Santorum, they need to pull their head out of their ass. The title is almost redundant, like saying water is wet. Anyone who has been following the presidential debates knows that Santorum will absolutely attempt to put into law everything about his own moral code, without regard to constitutionality, or its impact on personal liberty.
