It is not over yet-Tell Ron Paul to run-let him know he can win-we are still here!

Shit like what is going on here is what will divide this movement.

Naah, people are just in different stages:

Here is the grief model called "The 7 Stages of Grief":


7 Stages of Grief...

1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.

2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.

You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.

3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.

You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")

4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.

During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.

7 Stages of Grief...

5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.

6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.

7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.

7 stages of grief...

You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.

If some want to keep trying, is that any skin off of you'alls backs, really? Maybe take it to the vent?

I hate seeing people have crashed hopes and dreams because their dream is an impossible fantasy, setting oneself up for despair is horrible.

I hate seeing them tromped on, I hate hearing about drones killing innocent people, I hate that our currency is being debased to kill brown people and start violent revolutions in other countries...

Psychobabble and horseshit. Fuck big pharma. Fuck shrinks. Fuck homogenized milk. See, we still have stuff to chat about!!!!

Lighten up, Negative Nancy. Your posts are awful. Don't you have something better to do?

I'm not stopping you and I don't see anyone else stopping you or anyone else. Don't take offense because most of us have called it and are putting our resources else where.

In fact, I was told to "retire" from RPF because I said I want Ron to retire in peace.

So do I, but living out a fantasy world that RP has any chance via 3rd party doesn't help with any of that, where getting involved in community education and enlightenment does, but if one is so glossed over as to think someone has a chance at this point before Nov, they would probably just be laughed at anyway...

Good grief it is time i leave the mental midget parade now. Bye till the sane people return.

You didn't leave yet I see. Whatever you are trying to accomplish, it is not working.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Christ almighty let it go people. Acting like a personality cult actually turns people off.

The trolls are a little nervous now that their news source covered this (ha): http://nation.foxnews.com/ron-paul/...can-no-more-hasn-t-ruled-out-third-party-run#

Come on already, don't harass his congressional staffers.

Its what they are paid for...make that call...why is everyone giving in to the GOP Soviets?

There is no one but Ron Paul. He cannot, and is not bought.

Does no one on here realize what is going on in this country. At Cornell he warned us, told us, Homeland Security ordered 450,000,000 four hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, hollow point bullets-not used in training...who are these bullets for. Why are there so many sited trains with military equipment on them...where is it being positioned? Think people...our UnConstitutional Homeland Security is not there for us, but to be used against us, the same as in Nazi Germany. Executive Orders are also illegal. Ron Paul would abolish all of them.

We NEED him. Please come back. Johnson said he would step aside.

It is not over until we are all dead, or exterminated in a FEMA camp.

Wake up...keep pushing...why are you giving up.

"I only regret I have but one life to give for my country"

I am a veteran. I support America, and my oath.

 

[Carrie M]

I have photos of a transport over in Buffalo, where is all this equipment headed. Not overseas, and how many bases are closed and don't need this equipment.

Think strategic planning.

Congressional staffers cannot discuss campaign related information through Congressional lines of communication (ie, the phone numbers and addresses you listed).

Big problem, it isn't a game.

 

[steph3n]

Big problem, it isn't a game.

It is an acid trip?

 

[Carrie M]

Yes, it is.

And even if by some chance he ran, the best he could hope for is forcing the House to pick the President because there's simply 0 chance that Ron gets 270 electoral votes.

And the world will see how corrupt America is...who are we to tell any country how to run its election
