Well then, that's silly.
I vote for the man.
When a majority of people take control of an institution, they can turn it whatever direction they prefer.
Ron Paul is Republican by definition.
Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a democracy, with an emphasis on liberty, rule by the people, and the civic virtue practiced by citizens. Republicanism always stands in opposition to aristocracy, oligarchy, and dictatorship. More broadly, it refers to a political system that protects liberty, especially by incorporating a rule of law that cannot be arbitrarily ignored by the government. Or as John Adams put it, “They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men.” Much of the literature deals with the issue of what sort of values and behavior by the citizens is necessary if the republic is to survive and flourish; the emphasis has been on widespread citizen participation, civic virtue, and opposition to corruption.
Those who currently control the Republican party are not.
It is THEY who are the usurpers and interlopers.
You confuse an emotionally charged matter with one of historical precedence.
