I agree with that. I have my own personal Native American associations myself. I will note, though, that many "Indian" casinos are run by anything but or by people who are 1/32 Native American or whatever, and the actual benefit to the community is largely a mirage. To give those folks special breaks when the business is as profitable as it is already seems a trifle like overkill.

Schwarzenegger's policies address none of these things.

If he were to say the California I immigrated to didn't have Casinos on every corner and we will stop this, then he'd have integrity and get my respect, maybe even my vote.

But nonsensical demagouging about the evil Indians and how he don't play dat game is a joke.

This thread is about how Schwarzenegger does not support core conservative issues -- ones that as governor he has a direct ability to affect.

He will continue to dole out tax dollars for funded abortion, will dole out tax dollars to give benefits to domestic partners, will not return tax dollars to help people send their children to private schools that don't ban God or foist the liberal left agenda on them.

Indian gaming is a red herring. The latter are real issues - conservative vs liberal, right vs left issues and on everyone Schwarzenegger is on the left.

I see no reason to vote for a Republican to implement the left's agenda.
