Abandon ship!

Remember Ron Paul?  You know, the Republican answer to Mike Gravel.  Paul won supporters on the left by being anti-war, and his Libertarian positions picked up folks from such diverse camps as those favoring legalized drugs, those wanting more diversity in their private arsenals, and those who felt living in this reality was just a scooch too restrictive.  On almost every issue, Paul had a different position than self-styled "maverick," J. Sidney McCain III.

Paul is still officially in the race, and even though McCain is now assured of a win at the Republican convention, the Paulites are taking the kind of tough, principled stand that Republicans take every election year... by declaring that everyone must abandon Paul and get behind McCain.

The subtly-named group Join or Die! declares that we stand at a crossroads in American history.  This is a time for revolution!  This is a time to hold the Republican Party accountable!  And they're going to demonstrate that revolutionary fervor by completely abandoning everything they've claimed to believe since the start of the Paul campaign.

Good work, Paulistas, I knew you had it in you.
