If only I could find an example of politicans using the Christian Right as a tool? Oh, wait....

Yahoo! News - Casino Bid Prompted High-Stakes Lobbying: "He looked to Reed, the former Christian Coalition leader who operated several consulting companies. Reed has acknowledged receiving as much as $4 million from Abramoff and his associate, Scanlon, to organize grass-roots anti-gambling campaigns in Louisiana and Texas. The money came from casino-rich Indian tribes, including the Coushattas, but Reed said that although he knew of Abramoff's connection to the tribes, he did not know until media accounts surfaced last summer that his fees came from gambling proceeds.

Reed then turned to Dobson to marshal his vast network of evangelicals, Abramoff's e-mails show.

Abramoff wrote to Scanlon in a Feb. 20, 2002, e-mail that Dobson would make radio ads against gambling. Reed 'may finally have scored for us! Dobson goes up on the radio on this next week!' He suggested giving Reed $60,000 for the ads to run in Louisiana and Texas. 'We'll then play it in the WH [White House] and Interior,' he told Scanlon."
