GOP rivals in squabble over gaming

It's always fun when Alabama Republicans fight. For instance, they spend a lot of time arguing about who is more in touch with the Christian Coalition's goals:

John Giles, state president of the Christian Coalition, confirmed today that Riley, during his three congressional terms, has earned a perfect score with the coalition on "gambling, abortion and other pro-family issues."


That's our next governor, probably. And they don't understand that whole fungibility-of-money thing I was going on about:

James attempted to tie some of that money to a $360,000 contribution the Republican National Congressional Committee gave Riley late last year. "My question to Bob is this: Did any of that $360,000 come from gaming interests?"


And they try to pretend they've been endorsed by Pat Robertson, while engaging in Clintonian linguistics:

Azbell said Tuesday night that Riley didn't intend to claim the bill passed, which it failed to do, but that he only worked with Robertson "to pass it."


All we need is an attack on evolution and it's a complete GOP campaign. Any wonder I'm a Democrat?
