See a pattern here?
These are all federal Republicans. They are "associated" with Ron Paul because Ron Paul is a federal Republican. Sort of like Ron Paul is "associated" with me because I posted some messages about him. Incidentally, I'll bet all seven Republicans listed above think 9/11 "Truthers" are crazy.
Have you ever wondered why Ron Paul didn't get the support of his party? Read the list above and it might give you a clue. Ron Paul does not fit in with that cesspool of corruption.
The future of the Ron Paul movement isn't in the Republican party. It's in the Libertarian Party. We gave it our best shot, but Ron Paul didn't win. Ron Paul will be an elder statesman in Congress for as long as he likes, and a best-selling author, but the Revolution will need to find new leaders and new strategies for it to prevail.
The elections for Ron Paul activists are over, until a new candidate comes along.
That means Libertarian candidates this fall, like Dr. Kevin Barrett.
