"Paultards"?

A very nice offer from the jack-booted thugs at RedState:

So over the last few days, we've been inundated (or is it infested?) with calls to allow Ron Paul supporters to participate here at RedState. We've had others misread Leon's post (with really impressive obtuseness) as a hatred of all lovers of liberty.

But at the same time, no one recognizes more than we do the raw passion that folks have for Ron Paul. The creativity to spot a Zionist conspiracy around every corner has to be worth something, too.

So we decided that yes, new Ron Paul-supporting comments do have a place here at RedState. So starting now - the floodgates are open. Sort of. You may shill for Ron Paul, with one condition: you must do it using the form of Japanese poetry known as Haiku. Failure to comply makes it easy to delete the comments and diaries - so have at it.

Elsewhere on RedState, we learn:

Congressional Democrats have been discovering, after 12 years out of power, that actually governing is a lot harder and less fun than griping from the cheap seats; but as long as George W. Bush is in the White House, they retain a convenient scapegoat for the gap between their rhetoric and reality.

Is it really not a problem for these folks that the 12 years that the Dems were out of power is the same 12 years that the Repubs were IN power? And that in those 12 years the Repubs repudiated every conceivable principle of conservatism?

(Nod to BR, who can write Haikus even WITHOUT Red Bull)
