Casino influence...surprised?

Rep. Bobby Moak has served 24 years in the Mississippi state legislature and is the Chairman of the House Gaming Committee.

The gambling folks are intent on buying influence with people in key positions in our state government. Their goal is to control those positions so that they get what they want. They won’t stop until they are successful.

Vote for Haley?

No. And the reason is...like Trent Lott and others, these guys think they can "roll" the Christian community on their issues like gambling (Barbour and Lott) and embryonic stem cell research (Lott) with no repurcussions.

They are right. But not with my one little vote. Not for Haley. Not this time.

Headline: Gulf Coast casinos hit revenue jackpot

I have to wonder about the human devastation left in the wake of this "flourishing" news. And this quote from the article:

"I want (the region) to be the Las Vegas of the south," says Rick Carter, whose Copa Casino barge was destroyed by the storm. "The better the casinos, the better the economy."

How about the moral economy? Cha-ching!
