For somebody who always reads local politics in terms of “who benefits,” you could do better than feigning naivety about national politics. This bill, whatever its other merits, is Reid paying-off his campaign donors by boosting the interests of big (Nevada) casinos over the hundreds of small ones now open around the country.
ReplyDeleteNaive? That's believing nanny-state social conservatives will abandon their hypocrisy when they no longer suspect Harry Reid is playing politics.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very vital bit of hypocrisy to anybody who wants to be able to raise money for various local and state governments by taxing gambling.
ReplyDeleteBut irrelevant to the freedom-haters who want to put dope-smokers, poker players, abortion doctors, and porn producers in jail; treat gays like dirt; and force-feed their fairy tales in public life.
