In order to prove once and for all that it is totally web-savvy, and not nearly as analog as the critics say—oh, and also to raise money—the Republican Party is selling new web domains ending in .gop starting today. They are much in demand, but not for the reasons Republicans might have hoped.

To be sure, there have been some earnest takers:

I just registered a domain at .GOP. Yup, for a small donation I registered http://t.co/3KUVV7aP9u. This could be fun. #mepolitics — John Berry (@PokerChaplain) July 8, 2014

And then there has been everyone else.

In case anyone is unclear, you can buy .gop domain names now and http://t.co/hZa049IOnj costs a cool 5 G's — Niklaus (@ngatt1) July 8, 2014

lmao you can register a .GOP domain name starting today: http://t.co/QIQRIrDpeM — Matt Binder (@MattBinder) July 8, 2014

I'm going to start a kickstarter so I can buy all these .gop domain names. $18,000 should do it #makeTheCheckOutToCash — Tony Santos (@tsmuse) July 8, 2014

This new .gop domain has me torn. On one hand, it could be awesome. But money goes to GOP. pic.twitter.com/MgVV2YE2Et — The Boot[C!] Man (@mynameisaverb) July 8, 2014

There were inevitable disappointments, too.

they're holding onto this one as a "premium" domain because they know where the money is pic.twitter.com/hwxt2ChOdj — Matt Binder (@MattBinder) July 8, 2014

this is in the same premium domain list as http://t.co/LXe3Y4vAb9 pic.twitter.com/0tCxyd2H2U — Randy (@randygdub) July 8, 2014

For what it's worth, our little business concern seems a tad undervalued:

But some of our counterparts command top dollar:

Want to fund the status quo while making fun of it on a new web domain? Go to join.gop and see if it's available. The domain, not the status quo. That's always available.
