From Talking Points Memo<\/a> via<\/a>:<\/p>\n

James Dobson: “If the nation\u2019s politicians don\u2019t fix this national disaster, then the oceans of gambling money with which Jack Abramoff tried to buy influence on Capitol Hill will only be the beginning of the corruption we\u2019ll see. Some religious leaders want new ethics rules for Congress, but that\u2019s only a band-aid fix. Politicians need to root out this infection. Gambling \u2013 all types of gambling \u2013 is driven by greed and subsists on greed. That makes it morally bankrupt from its very foundation. Gambling creates addicts, breeds crime and destroys families. We need courageous office holders who will begin the process of shutting down lotteries, casinos and other gambling outlets.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
