Reid Blasts Bush During Reno Visit (faith based service summit)
RENO, Nev. -- The Bush administration is relying too heavily on other countries in the international effort to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, according to Sen. Harry Reid.

Reid, D-Nev., said the administration should be taking the lead, but instead is relying on Germany, France and Great Britain to convince Iran to end its uranium enrichment program.

"It is hard to comprehend," Reid said Tuesday in Reno. "We should be involved at trying to arrive at a diplomatic solution. ... Not just these three countries."
...
Reid opened his day on Tuesday addressing The Northern Nevada Faith-Based Services Summit, which mirrored an event Reid organized last year in Las Vegas -- an ecumenical gathering of religious groups and social services advocates.
...
As Nevada faces growing difficulties in providing health care, affordable housing and senior services, faith-based organizations are becoming an important part of the social safety net, summit participants said.....

"There's been a lot of talk about the faith-based initiative," Edgar said. "It is my fear that President Bush thought the faith-based initiative would simply be, 'Lets take all the welfare programs and dump that on the churches and synagogues and mosques.' The faith-based initiative must be based on partnership."

7. Hey - it's entirely appropriate and proper.
How many people pray when they gamble?

How many people trust in "faith" that their lucky number will come up consistantly?

How many people "believe" if they are short 200 dollars for their rent, will gamble the 200 they do have all in the "belief" that they will "hit the big one"?

It's a PERFECT match if you ask me!
