Of course, Bennett built his reputation as a man who wants to criminalize behavior so even fewer activities are no longer a man's "own business." Even on gambling, Bennett's Empower America opposes extension of casino gambling. We wouldn't want the great unwashed to have the same gambling options as "Mr. Virtue" would we?

Bennett's Empower America opposes extension of casino gambling. I am pro-casino, but that doesn't mean an opposing view is without merit. In some locales, it may not make a whole lot of sense. And Empower America, I believe, wishes to build comprehensive economies with a diverse industry base; most casino initiatives are one-trick ponies. Does Empower America oppose casino gambling based on some sort of "virtue" based stance, or a practical one?
