Paul Congress

Didn't I predict this? A movement to encourage Ron Paul supporters to run for Congress? And check out who they are reaching out to:

A Ron Paul Presidency, and by default the American public, will benefit greatly from a Congress filled with Ron Paul Republicans (traditional Republicans), Libertarians, and Ron Paul Independents.

Nope, no mention of Democrats there. In fact, look at the two candidates they are profiling: Theodore Terbolizard, a Republican running for the 4th District in California, and Dean Santoro, a Republican running for the 21st District in Florida. 21st District in Florida, doesn't that sound familiar? Yep, it's the same district where Frank Gonzalez, formerly a libertarian Democrat, ran in 2006 and won over 40% of the vote. Santoro is challenging the incumbent Republican in the primary and has the support of Gonzalez, who still has plans (last I checked) to run in the general election as a Libertarian or Independent.

This development worries me a bit . . .

Is it the exclusion of Demcrats that worries you? It might help to drop this guy a line asking him to consider that Democrats might be able to work with Ron Paul, and refer him to this website and Frank Gonzolez.

Left the Democratic Party over some state level squabbles.

I think it was something to do with ethics or conflict of interest.

Anyways, pretty much it's the Augean Stables in government.

Seems to me he has been pretty fluid with respect to Party identification; he has run as a Libertarian and Democrat, and running as a Democrat in 2006 he made this appeal to Goldwater Conservatives in an Ad:

Sans abortion, that's Paul's message to a "T."

I was looking at Gonzalez's MySpace page and it looks like he is a big Paul supporter

That web site you linked to is pretty amateurish that someone put up. I actually agree with Less Antman in his comment on the Horowitz article that rather than hands off (or even dread about Paul), left libertarians or libertarian democrats should view that site as fertile mining grounds for converts. By far, the number one issue that most disagree with Paul on is abortion (Take a look at this thread). That site has huge traffic.

That Frank J Gonzalez Libertarian Democratic video I embedded would find a very ready and enthusiastic audience at RP Forums, which gets relatively comprable traffic to the likes of Kos and Freep(but it won't last forever). I think people are missing the forest for the trees, here.
