What matters is, Ralph Reed took a bribe of $4.1 million+ in Indian gambling money to manipulate other Christian conservatives into thinking it was a worthwhile cause to fight against the Alabama lottery, new casinos in Louisiana, and any other threat to his ultimate client (that being an Indian tribe that wanted to protect its territory in the gambling arena). Unbeknownst to them, all they were doing was wiping-out competition in favor of (pretty much) granting a monopoly to one tribe’s business interests.
