[Austin Willard Wright]

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?

[Mr. Bird]

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?
