RedState.com Blog Limits New Ron Paul Supporters

These people better watch out, or they just might convince backers of Dr. Paul that they are not, in fact, Republicans. In which case they probably won't vote Republican. And the purpose of any political party in a democracy is, after all, to garner votes, isn't it?

By these peoples standards Robert A Taft wasn't a Republican, either, and Barry Goldwater's disaffection with the Religious Right would've made him suspect as well.

I especially liked Brad Spangler's comment on the situation:

As a revolutionary anarchist, it is not without a sense of irony that I note that todays Republican Party best serves my ends of permanently discrediting all governments everywhere. Only Ron Paul stands in my way. Thanks, RedState!

I guess he originally posted it to the ResState site, and it was taken down almost immediately. Go figure. They probably thought he was shilling for Paul.

Idiots.

RedState.com says newcomers to the site cannot supporters of the internet's favorite candidate, claiming rabid Ron Paul fans aren't real Republicans.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
