It’s a Sure Bet How Republicans Can Win Back Their Base
The Republican Party’s self-induced mad dash for
irrelevancy is headlined by their reckless disregard for the Golden Rule of
winning elections: first solidify the base.
The Party of Lincoln’s negligence commenced with George W.
Bush’s “compassionate conservatism”. Conservatives preach tough love, but Bush
distorted the “compassionate conservatism” redundancy into an oxymoron by
defining “compassion” using the glossary of Jimmy Carter.
With the aid of a Republican Congress, Bush benevolently
spent like a drunken Kennedy. His renunciation of conservative principals of conscientious
expenditure failed miserably not only in courting the left hell-bent on
destroying him, but disenfranchised conservatives of every ilk.
But Bush and the Republicans’ implosion was just in its
infancy.
Speaking of aliens, the President from the once
law-and-order party adopted a do-nothing course of action when it came to preventing
illegal aliens from journeying across the
If only crossing a
intersection could be done with such ease.
A new low point was achieved in the Terri Shiavo circus.
Once a “family values” party, religious insurgents demanded that the
excruciating life and death decision involving the brain-damaged comatose women
should be decided not by her next-of-kin, but by a bunch of empty suits inside
the Beltway.
While the Reaganites allowed Christian jihads to seize
occupancy of the conservative movement, the rest of the party distanced
themselves by nominating John McCain for President, the most center-left
entrant in modern Republican history.
Lagging miserably in the polls, McCain skyrocketed once he
threw a bone to traditional conservatives and chose Sarah Palin as his running
mate. While her gaffes made her easy fodder for the left-leaning “if you can’t
beat them, destroy them” media, it was centrist McCain who permitted Barack
Obama to achieve the impossible.
Liberal Barack Obama successfully courted abandoned Reagan
conservatives by convincing them that he would cut taxes for middle-class Americans
more than McCain would.
But Barney Frank has pulled the granddaddy of them all in
dismembering the disremembered conservative movement. Somehow, someway, the
unapologetic left-winger has positioned himself to the right of most
Republicans on gambling civil liberties.
Personal responsibility and creating new streams of tax
revenue was once etched-in-stone bare essentials of the Republican Party and
remains basic principles in the non-religious nutter dieing wing of
conservatism.
Fully legalizing the legitimate pastime of online gambling,
while relishing in the cash flow that would funnel into the economy, should be embraced
by the Republicans.
Yet so-called Republicans such as John Kyl and Bill Frist
have declared mutiny on traditional conservatism and hijacked it to the point
where estranged Reaganites acknowledge that Barney Frank represents their
constituency much more than the derelict traitors who deceitfully call
themselves Republicans.
Republicans are oblivious to how they alienated their base
with spendorama “compassion”, a see-no-evil approach to illegal immigration,
and allowing a left-wing presidential candidate to abduct their lower-taxes
mantra.
By voting for full legalization of online gambling,
they have an opportunity to return to their pro-business, anti-government
intrusion roots. But consistent with their political death wish recent history,
Republicans have allowed a progressive Congressman from
to shanghai and pirate what should be a conservative calling card.
Ronald Reagan once said that that he didn’t leave the
Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left him. Now posthumously, the
Republican Party has done the same.
Barney Frank is now the knight in shining armor to
dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. Republican enablers have assured this
Armageddon lasts well beyond the next mid-terms.
Supporting online gambling could be the Republicans last
chance to court back conservatives. Here’s betting they instead choose to
subvert themselves further into irrelevancy.

Adam Lambert American Idol Favorite, While Cavs Laying 8.5 to Orland Magic
American Idol betting odds are among the most bet outside of sports at the world’s top sportsbooks. The Vegas line to win American Idol 2009 has Adam Lambert the choice at -450. Kris Allen is +180 according to BetED
This on the heels of the frightening news that some lunatic named Janice Thibodequx attacked Terri Seymour, the ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell.
Explains sports betting expert Cy McCormick, what this means is that one must risk $450 for every $100 they would win on Lambert. But could win $180 per $100 risked if Allen pulls the upset.
However, entertainment and political betting odds at BetUs indicate there will be a lot more suspense. Lambert is just -170 there, and Allen +130. The Bodog Hollywood and betting odds also say it’s not clear cut at -175.
