Couldn't agree with you more. I'd consider myself and my kind to be about as right-wing extremist as it gets these days, and gambling is NOWHERE on our radar screens.
The Christian right is the straw-man of this whole gambling ban brew-ha-ha. It's really all about the domestic gaming lobbies(casinos, horses, lotteries, etc.) and about lost taxation opportunities (ie. the government not getting its cut).
Agreed,
Though if Rendell were to propose a slots casino in my community, it would make the top of my list! Internet gambling - don't think so. I do think it should be regulated.
