That's a load of bravo sierra. For two reasons:

1. Bill B. never said, "don't gamble". So the charge of hyprocrisy isn't even well laid here.

2. Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. Turn that into a sin of it's own, and the result, since the 60's is for people to avoid the damning charge of "hypocrisy" by turning their vices into virtues.

I see the same screen names taking after Bill B: the WOD fundamentalists, for whom all is invested in the pursuit of making weed legal (I don't oppose that, just the fanatic zeal); and the Church Ladies.

Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed.

So hypocrisy is a good thing? Wonder what Bill Bennett says about hypocrisy in his tomes...

Since I am not a Bennett fan, I assume you lump me into one of these groups. First, which one? And second, based on my past postings (review them if you wish), how do I qualify as either a Church Lady or as one who wants to legalize pot?

He never said "don't gamble?" Wrong. Empower America opposes the extension of casino gambling. I guess that the poor who can't afford to travel are not to be trusted eh?

Again, Bill B's attempt to surgically carve his personal favorite vice out of the category of "vices" is as unpersuasive as Bill C's attempt to surgically carve his personal favorite position out of the category of "sex".
