Gambling addiction and stupidity are two different things. Of course fondness for gambling isn't the same as gambling addiction.

No argument, I never implied that it was..

But my reply was in response to the suggestion of this man as a POTUS. I am not familiar with Mr. Bennett, but as far as moral issues go, the short list of who I do not want as POTUS:

1) Someone with Gambling problems.

2) Adulterers.

3) Atheists.

4) Drug Users. 5) Drunks.

6) Theives.

At first glance, "gambling problems" may seem out of place. After all, they only gamble their own money right? So what's the harm.

But if you ever met someone who is addicted, you would not want to run the risk of them getting their "high" gambling with our future or our military. A hardcore gambler isn't after the money, he/she really want the "high" of playing for high stakes.

Not a quality you want in a POTUS.

DISCLAIMER: Again, I am not trying to besmirch this Bennett in particular. I am not familiar with the man.
