Rick Santorum is another not in favor with online poker, he was quoted as saying: “I’m someone who takes the opinion that gaming is not something that is beneficial, particularly having that access on the internet. Just like we’ve seen from a lot of other things that are ‘vices,’ they tend to grow exponentially as a result of that. It’s one thing to come to Las Vegas and do gaming and participate in the shows and entertainment and that kind of thing. It’s another thing to be able to sit in your home and have access to that. I just think it would be dangerous for our country.”
Santorum went on to say: “There are certain things that do cost people a lot of money, cost them their lives, [and] cost them their fortunes that we shouldn’t have available. That’s why we regulate gaming. You have a big commission [in Nevada] that regulates gambling, for a reason. We don’t have it everywhere. I for one don’t think it’s a good thing. A lot of people don’t responsibly gamble and lose a lot and end up in not such great economic straits as a result of that.”
