Daily Caller - Sen. John McCain, who was caught by a Washington Post photographer playing online poker during the Syria debate, once sought to ban online gambling - and gambling proponents are accusing the Arizona Republican of dealing from the bottom of the deck. John McCain not only opposed online gambling, he might have been the strongest critic of gambling in Congress, Wayne Allyn Root, a successful Las Vegas odds maker, 2008 Libertarian vice presidential candidate, and prominent Mitt Romney supporter during the 2012 presidential campaign, told The Daily Caller. Obama and McCain are masters of that politicians' art form - 'Do as I say, not as I do,' Root added. That's a nice way of saying they are liars, cheats, frauds and hypocrites. McCain was photographed by the Washington Post's Melina Mara playing the popular iPhone poker game VIP Poker, which doesn't use real money. But Root pointed out that he could hardly have done otherwise. It doesn't matter that it is free play, because it would have had to be free play or he would have to go to jail, Root told TheDC.Although McCain made light of playing the game on his iPhone on the Senate floor, he voted in favor of the 1998 Internet Gambling Amendment.<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/09/05/poker-fans-irate-at-mccains-double-dealing-on-online-gambling/" >FULL STORY</a><a href="http://www.thisweekingambling.com/2013/09/09/poker-fans-angry-over-mccains-double-dealing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook" >source</a>
