Let's see if I've got this straight.
Nader and Dobson co-signed a letter in which they sought clarification on the Democratic Party's position on gambling; expressed concern at the apparant links between the Democratic Party and the gambling industry; and condemned the gambling industry as promoting a social ill, listing a number of examples as to how this is the case (which as far as I can see are not innaccurate).
I think it's fair to say that you've overstated this as an 'alliance'. They didn't call for any action, they simply requested a clarification of the Democratic Party position and expressed the opinion that gambling does a lot of harm.
Gully defends it:
Wait a minute, So Nader and Dobson happened to agree on one thing and wrote a letter together comdemning one of the world's most famous vices, which destroys communities and lives every year and questioned a corrupt political system where this parasatic industry can flourish and often gain access to the highest levels of political power and can have a serious say on actual policy... AND this is a bad thing?
Straha is right for once, you're a total hypocrite - your politics is all about protecting your vices under the name of liberalism.
So, are you saying that because Gully suggests that:
- there should be more transparancy as to any links between the gambling industry and the Democrtaic Party; and
- that gambling can cause harm in society
he is a "religious right loving prude"?
If so, you'll have to explain the connection betweenthese beliefs and being a "religious right loving prude".
Well, he obviously disapproves of certain practices of the alcohol industry and of binge drinking - but that's hardly something confined to the "religious right loving prudes", is it?
