Redstate's parent company had 8.3 Million in sales last year, and they're crying poverty.

First they were on SCOOP... They complained about scaling problems...

quote:

If we’d been a liberal website, we would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. The online left loves Scoop. Unfortunately, there weren’t really any conservative Scoop developers out there to help us. We kept crashing and were out of money. We had to close down or take drastic action.

Actually, if they'd been COMPETENT they would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. ( e.g.: All they needed to do is pick up the phone, and my company, among others have no problems supporting Scoop. ) Of course, that's only needed if they don't have competent staff in the first place.

Technology is No Place For Wimps.

No-one out there jacked up their rates when they heard it was RedState.Com on the phone... ( I only do that for the Military, under the special "Government" rate scale. )

Now they're on Drupal... They're complaining of scaling problems.

And they want 25,000 from the users to move to Django.

Given the historical incompetence of these guys, I'd suggest they deliver FIRST before passing round the hat...

Hell, fargle ... you are proving their point, although I'd classify you to the far right, rather than the left.

All their other points remain.

Nice touch there, too with Obama's middle name (can't resist the comparison to Saddam, I guess).

What? A Republican held company cheating and defrauding people? HOW could this happen?!

GOP jokes:

Republicans show up in Blaxploitation movies... they all play the white cops.

How do you trap a Republican? Glue a fake cigar to the sidewalk.

How do you distract a republican? Tell them there's an orphanage down the street that hasn't been closed down yet.

Republicans shine their shoes by kicking puppies.

What do you call Log Cabin Republicans? Masochists.

Quickest, most boring game on Earth: count the minorities in the crowd at a Republican rally.

Republican dildoes: crucifixes. But they only use them as strap ons.... fucking other people.

That state's not red... it's just the blood of America as it lies wounded from eight years of Republican rule.

Favorite TP of the GOP: the Constitution.

Ha ha ha....

If you can't provision the water chillers, stay out of the server room....
