After the 2008 election season, the Republican Party was left in shambles.  Sure the successful historic campaign of Barack Obama had something to do with it, with his unmatched ability to appear relevant and in touch with the needs and wants of the American people.  But more than any other cause, the Republicans need only blame themselves.  To this day, several months after the election, the Grand Old Party cannot seem to get on board with a coherent message and maintains the appearance of a party desperately seeking relevance.

Opposition to online casinos is just one example of how far from their base the party as strayed.  The Party of Lincoln once stood by personal responsibility and creating new streams of tax revenue as a basic principle belief.  Now it seems that the party has fallen to appeasing the whims of religious extremists.

It seems at one point in time, the Republican Party, a stronger, cohesive, more formidable Republican Party would have welcomed the legalization and regulation of online casinos.  Online casinos would pump billions of dollars into the ailing economy.

A vote for online casinos would be a return to the party’s old pro business and anti government interference roots.  At one time it would have been expected, seeing the enormous and business potential of legalized online casinos, that the Republican party would have been the front runners for regulating this new industry.

However, it is the Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts that is out their waiving the banner of online casinos.  Barney Frank is usually considered an extreme liberal is, in this case, standing further right than the right wingers.
