Ron Paul supporters are all riled up with nowhere to go.

McCain has clinched the presumptive Republican nomination. Ron Paul was unable to get 10 percent in the Republican primary. And now, McCain and the Republican Party are giving Ron Paul supporters the cold shoulder.

The Washington Times reports:

“I don’t think they want them,” Mr. Paul told The Washington Times, adding that indifference doesn’t surprise him because the party’s establishment has deserted traditional conservative principles for big government and foreign intervention.

“We don’t agree with them,” he says. “We agree with the Old Right, and they’re the New Right, which is ‘The Wrong,’ [because] the New Right has morphed into neoconservative.”

This is true. There’s not much common ground here, but the loss is the party’s.

Many of his 800,000 presidential nomination votes were from newcomers to the Republican Party — the kind of dedicated small-donor volunteers the party needs, he says.

Oh well. We didn’t want to be part of your party anyway.
