But it's okay, he stands for Jeesuz so whatever He does must be good and besides, the rest of us are going to hell anyway so what's our opinion worth?

Ralph Reed, Southeast regional chairman of the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign and former executive director of the Christian Coalition, confirmed on Sunday that he accepted more than $1 million in fees from a lobbyist and a public relations specialist whose work on behalf of American Indian casinos prompted a federal investigation.

In addition to his role running the campaign in the Southeast, Reed is a liaison to the Christian evangelical community, and many of its leaders are adamantly opposed to gambling. Reed has been widely credited with leading the political mobilization of the Christian right since the late 1980s.

The short: Reed's "consulting firm" took money (funneled through a law firm currently under heavy Fed investigation), from one group of Indian casino operators trying to squeeze other Indians out of getting casinos of their own. So he was still, if you follow his particularly weasly explanation, opposing gambling. By taking money from gambling interests. If you find this hard to swallow I'm sure there's something in the Bible that will help you see the matter in the proper Light.
