The difference between Sheldon, Robertson and Dobson, they were duped by Ralphie. They had no clue what the deal was. Ralph was the broker to the Christian right.
I am in no way allying myself with Indian casinos. They are useless, destroy families etc. etc.... But even more they suck money out of the economy and contribute nothing to the tax base.

But Ralph justifies his actions by indicating he saved families. Hmmmmm, perhaps he will donate his $4.5 million contractors fee to the Family Research Council.
And yes, he's like a televangelists who gets busted for wrong doing,,,, blame the liberal media. Thank God for a free press or we would all be screwed.
