I also know that George Bush has asked the question, "Does the Democratic Party take African American voters for granted?" Well, here is my answer. The Book of Matthew reminds us, "Beware of false profits which come to you in sheep's clothing." (Matthew 7:15).
Now one should beware of "false profits" as well, as the former employees of Arthur Andersen could attest. But that was not what Christ said.
