Gambling Away the Republican Future?
http://www.newmajority.com/gambling-...ublican-future
October 29th, 2009 at 11:42 am by Rich Muny
There have recently been positive developments in the Republican
Party’s fortunes. Polls show increased support for conservatism and the
GOP, conservatives are actively protesting for their beliefs, and
Congress is starting to take note. Republicans have a real chance in
2010 — if they can form a cohesive conservative coalition.
The Republican Party was once the party of limited government and
personal responsibility. Unfortunately, the GOP has been pushing
libertarian-minded conservatives from the party for some time. 2008 was
the worst year ever for the traditional GOP coalition. The party
establishment was openly hostile to Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-TX) presidential
run and the big government social conservative wing of the party even
called for a plank in the party platform advocating federal internet
censorship to stop adults from playing online poker. In essence, the
party told poker players, internet freedom supporters, and limited
government conservatives that they are no longer welcome in the
GOP......

On a separate topic, please check out this week's podcast. I have a short blurb at 3:30, but the real story is IGC counsel Ian Ramsey's discussion of the Kentucky case at 4:30. I was at the hearing. I believe we came out ahead on the arguments, but we won't know until the ruling in two months or so, of course.
Ian Ramsey's profile is at http://stites.com/attorneys/161/ian-t-ramsey.

For those not familiar with Digg.com: Digg.com is a social networking site
where people vote on articles. Articles with enough votes get promoted to the
front page, where they can get 25,000 or more views. The reason it gets so many
hits is that many people like to view stories voted up by their peers. Digg.com
is ranked #45 in the US for views: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/digg.com.
It's huge for us to get our message out to that many people, so I ask that you
all participate. Thanks!
Here's how it's done:
- Click the link to the digg article. In this case, it's http://digg.com/political_opinion/NewMajority_Gambling_Away_the_Republican_Future
- If you don't let have an account, you can create it here. It's very
simple. Just choose a name and a password and provide a birth date and an email
address.
- You'll see a yellow badge with a number inside it. Click the word "digg"
that appears below that.
We've gotten many of these to the front page of Digg, so it's definitely
worth doing.
Thanks!
