Schwarzenegger adviser linked to card clubs, Nevada casinos
Rivals cry foul amid actor's attacks on Indian gaming

A top political adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger serves on the board of directors of a company that owns two Nevada casinos and has interests in two Southern California card clubs that compete with casinos run by California Indian tribes.

Schwarzenegger has made attacking tribes and their political influence a major tenet of his campaign, prompting the actor's top Republican opponent in the recall election and a tribal gaming group to raise conflict-of-interest questions about Schwarzenegger Friday. At issue is Bonnie Reiss, a longtime Schwarzenegger ally who has taken an increasingly public role in his bid to be governor.

Reiss earns $30,000 a year as a director of Pinnacle Entertainment. The company owns casinos in Reno and Verdi, Nev., and earns money from leases on two California card clubs, including the Hollywood Park Casino, located in Inglewood (Los Angeles County) and one of the largest card clubs in California.

"Clearly, he's got a bit of a conflict," said Jacob Coin, executive director of the California Indian Nations Gaming Association. "He's blasting the tribes very publicly and on the other hand quietly receiving political advice from someone with a major interest in a business that competes with us."

More Republican lies

[Democat]

1. Davis needs to go on a full scale attack for the rest of the campaign

There is nothing to be gained by being nice at this point.

The media has decided to back Arnold totally, so Davis needs to make this a scorched Earth last 10 days and let Californians know all the things that the media is hiding from them about Arnold.

Take off the gloves, Gray Davis!

2. Why are we surprised

that this member of the BFEE also hangs with crooks and thugs. Birds of a feather flock together.

3. Arnold's campaign debt is now $2.4 million

printed in local paper....hard to believe he's run
through all that money in such a short time. Someone
should tell him his constant ads are annoying.
Someone please terminate them.

4. A Republican running on a conflict of interest! Golly!

What are the {snicker} odds?

5. and speaking of gaming clubs

Larry Flynt has been virtually silent considering
he's a candidate for Gov.

come on Larry, give us the word.

6. Naked Arnold pictures avaliable at www.rotten.com

DU members in California should visit the 'rotten' website and download the naked Arnold pictures.

DU members could hand them out at the 'Arnold' rallies this week. The pics would also be good on T-Shirts, and even as posters, to be stuck on lamposts near his rallies.

I'm no expert, but from looking at those naked pictures, I can't help but notice, that compared to his muscles, Arnold's penis looks kind of small.

I don't know, maybe it gets bigger when he tells a lie.

This thread's news article about his gambler/advisor could be printed on the backside of the pictures, with the caption on the front saying "The Naked Truth about Arnold," or perhaps "Republican Family Values."
