MY GOD! We Are Powerful!

Redstate.com goes a' begging:

(Short version: We need you to open your wallet and give what you can to build RedState 3.0. Go here to help. We need the money ASAP.)

And why?  Liberals!  Liberals have failed to aid the incompetence of the Red State Inaction Network.  Allow Erick (the red) to explain:

You see, when we started RedState in May of 2004, we used a website program called Scoop — the same program a lot of similar sites on the left used. But, as the number of visitors to our site grew, Scoop kept crashing on us.

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.

Well, we didn’t close down. We ditched Scoop and moved to the best alternative at the time, a program called Drupal. But, in accomplishing the switch, budget constraints forced us to sacrifice some popular site features in order to alleviate the strain on our overused servers.

Needless to say, we always regarded those “downgrades” as temporary, and we hoped to restore the eliminated features – and to add new and even better ones – as soon as we could afford to.

Unfortunately, we still can’t afford to. But we’re convinced that America can afford even less to have us operating at anything less than our absolute peak potential during the coming presidential election season.

Just so that we're clear, Lefties are responsible for Redstate's plight because  the Redstaters are incompetent at administering and programming their chosen software.  The really funny part is what was emailed, and not posted publicly; but quoted by Atrios (from whom I get this word):

The good news first: RedState.com is about to embark on a major upgrade of our website that will make it easier, more informative, and just plain more fun for you to visit.

The bad news: our liberal “friends” – you know, the ones who believe so strongly in free speech and open debate – have done what they can to prevent us from making these improvements, so that our influence will be minimized just as we head into the 2008 presidential primary season.

No, our Blue State buddies haven’t succeeded in stopping us from improving our website. But they’ve made it more difficult and more expensive – which is why I’m coming to you for help.

Incompetent flip-floppers too embarrassed and cowardly to even take responsibility for their own beliefs.  I guess that's the fault of us lefties as well.  What was that phrase so enamored of the myopic few?  'Society-owes-us-help-hand-wringing-kittens' was it?  But, just for the comedy Redstate  provides, I'm sending 'em a buck.

Hehehehhh.  No I'm not.

That is some sweet craven begging. It must be a secret part of the self-reliant Republican belief system.
