Let’s give this a little perspective…..
When he says: ‘The new law passed because members of the pro-family movement — including a great many Southern Baptists — brought the issue to the attention of both Democrats and Republicans.’
What he is thinking is: ‘Well, I know the Southern Baptists haven’t really contacted me recently about gambling, however, elections are coming up. With this whole war-thing not going so well, we need the religion faction as well as the family values faction on our side again – or we (Republicans) lose lots of elections. Besides – MGM & Harrahs gave me a boatload of money to come up with excuses!’
That’s what I think.
