I Feel Like Ron Paul Just Broke Up With Me

It feels like a "Dear John" letter. You know the nice kind you get from the lover who really wants to leave you but is too nice to just come out and say it. I'm tired. I know Ron has to be tired. I will always respect and admire him. I will mope a little while but then wake up tomorrow ready to go again. Ron has more up his sleeve, either that or he is not what I had hoped him to be. Let a thousand more Ron Pauls arise out of this! I am not smart enough to be one but I am not afraid to shoot. Come get me NWO! I'm begging you! But I promise you this, I will take a couple of you bastards out with me!

RON PAUL WILL WIN THIS ELECTION.

I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.

today

is a sad day, but neverheless, the bleeding lion will keep marching.

I agree his letter seems

I agree his letter seems that way in tone, but he is being honest. He plans to keep running, but he simply has to pay more attention to keeping his seat in congress. It would be a greater disaster for all of us if he lost his congressional seat than the bid for the presidency. It's really a smart move to have a back-up plan. As long has he stays in the race, he will get valuable exposure in future debates--even with the stingy amount of time they will give him. And that exposure, however brief, will win more converts to his cause.

His ongoing run, no matter how scaled down, still makes him the fly in the ointment for the neocons and the news media. His treatment by the corrupt media system will stand as a witness for others to refer to in the future--and believe me, if they did this to him, they will do it to others, and Ron Paul's name will be referred in future books as a classic textbook case of media assassination.

I think we should stay in the GOP

That's what Ron is doing and it's also sending the message that if we want to change the system, we must bring about the change within the belly of the beast. I never knew what is meant to be libertarian before I heard of Ron Paul - and although I agree with most of their values - it seems that the system is too biased against 3rd parties in so many areas. We have to educate and take back the GOP by making them realize that it's become too much of a top/down organization. The grassroots must bring about change from the bottom; the voters, the constituents.

Don't forget, "The Revolution: A Manifesto"

I believe the book will bring clarity of purpose and will be a guide to where we go from here. I can't wait, I need to read that book ASAP!

Do you KNOW how to become a Delegate for Ron Paul? -- Do it!

Nothing has changed

Nothing has changed. Dr. Paul has always been realistic about his chances. He has always stressed that this revolution is not about him, nor about one election. This is only the beginning. We are trying to overcome an entrenched establishment; we are trying to repair decades of damage. This won’t happen in one election.

What now? Keep doing what we’ve been doing. Donate to the campaign, or grassroots efforts, canvas neighborhoods, talk to friends and family, vote or caucus for Dr. Paul, become a delegate.

I’ve always hoped for a win, and still do. But I’ve also recognized the importance making a strong showing. We must show the world that their are still Americans who stand for liberty. We are not going to just go away, and we are going to get stronger!

Cmon man fight!!! Ron is the

Cmon man fight!!! Ron is the easiest fight right now. Get involved in a local group to fight aginst corrupt government. Keep fighting from every angle, lets impeach some corrupt goverment official somehwere!!!
Support Ron Paul
join local group fighting corruption
If no group exists- Start one.
Teach the constitution
if you dont know the constitution- learn it.
Have a town meeting and show freedom to facsism

Battle Battle Battle!!!!!! We need to use the passion people used for RP to continue in these other areas too.

Exacty right!

As for me and my house we

As for me and my house we are sticking with Ron Paul to the very end. I will be voting in March in Texas for my favorite guy Ron Paul. In Nov. election if Ron Pauls name is not on the ballot I will be writing it in. I love Ron Paul.

I was upset, but then I remembered what the Doctor said...

"It's not me, it's the message... and I happen to be lucky enough to be a part of it." - Ron Paul
"It's not me, it's the message... and I happen to be lucky enough to be a part of it." - Ron Paul

He's just being honest. The chances are slim - is that so hard to hear? Is it wrong to hear? If you have a 10% chance of surviving an operation, wouldn't you RATHER know so you can better prepare?

I'm not stopping.

The ENTIRE campaign Ron was saying, "it's not me, it's the message." Did the message suddenly die because he cuts back in the states where primaries and caucuses have already taken place? Not at all!

The fact is Ron Paul reignited our original revolution, and has ignited in me something I will never extinguish. And to think, I never even met the guy...

It comes down to this: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way" - Thomas Paine

You are a wacko

If you think Ron Paul facing reality, how ever you interpret that letter, is equal to him breaking up with you.

I am sorry if that sounds harsh. But some time you smack someone back into reality.

Jeff do you have other words in your vocabulary

Every time I read any post of yours you ALWAYS seem to use adjectives to describe people on this site....and not good ones either.....these include

Wacko
Nut job
Kooks
Truthers
Losers
Nazis

Man you are a depressing person.

Do you ever speak an EDIFYING word to anybody? Do you always sit as JUDGE?

This actually speaks more about yourself than anything.

Does your freedom

depend on Ron Paul? No! It depends on you and you alone.

Bad Letter...But We Still Have A Chance

There's no beating around the bush. That "break up" letter knocked the WIND out of my sails. Come on, Dr. Paul. If you're trying to send us a coded message at least sound like a fighter. The people you need to trim down on the campaign are those paid idiots who tied the hands of grassroots and local meetup groups from effectively reaching the GOP. Bring in some full time volunteers or pay them half price.

I'm not giving up on Ron Paul! But who in tarnations advised him to write this passion-less communication to the Ron Paul Revolutiom?

I agree....passion-less

that is what the email was....passion-less. It took the wind out of my sails too.

Many are just now waking up and seeing this in their inboxes...it does feel like a kick in the gut.

RP said ONWARD!

"He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it." Confucius

Obviously a failure on our Dept of Ed. Please learn to read.

You big dummy, the email was very simple.
HE'S GOING TO KEEP FIGHTING ON IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE
He's also running for his congressional seat

He cut down his staff a little bit because he knows this isn't going to convention as easily if Romney stuck around. He's going to focus on Individual states so he himself can force the convention.

He can't run as an Independent because he wouldn't be able to run for his congressional seat.

This is no concession speech, this is an email letting you know that he is going to keep fighting.

Hey, I read it too, and it sounded like a concession speech

to me.

Why do you feel like it wasn't? This is the problem that I have with the letter, b/c of its vagueness there is ONCE AGAIN alot of needless confusion.

If you look at this site and the forums that are listed ....there is a 50/50 split as to the meaning of the letter. Why would Dr. Paul send a letter to his supporters that would be so vague and could be interpreted to mean two different things?

What is the signal that he is giving to those of us that have primaries coming up? It sure doesn't sound very motivating to me.

Vagueness?

From the daily dose:
Ron Paul is not going to surrender, and John McCain will not take the Republican nomination without the fight of his life. Your donations and work as Precinct Leaders are needed now more than ever. Thank you all for everything you’ve done so far — the revolution has just begun.

I dare say that Ron Paul

I dare say that Ron Paul would have never added Pape and Hadar to the Campaign the other day if he were even close to dropping out. Please, get a grip!

those were good signs, but why the confusion of the letter then?

I was glad to see those people too. I just feel deflated and irritated right now.

This was not a good letter. PERIOD. Why would he send out an email like that after hiring those guys? Wouldn't it have been better to state.." Look, I've hired pape and Hadar to take this campaign in a new direction to re-organize, re-invigorate...and I am not going anywhere!"....Nope, he didn't do that. He didn't even mention them.

We read what we want to

We read what we want to read, see what we want to see, interpret what we want to interpret.....

Not me!!!

I didn't like the letter

It just left me with alot of questions.

As a family of 6 we have given money many times to this campaign, we have sign waved, we have written emails, we have called organizations and asked for their support, we have called other states during the primaries to get out the vote, we have asked our friends for their vote....

all of that being said....I guess I just figured out why the letter left me feeling blah...THERE WAS NO PASSION.

I have not liked how the campaign has been run. There seemed to be no strategy. There seemed to be no coordination with the grassroots. There are many popular Dr. Paul websites ( DailyPaul, RonPaulForums, Paulenteer, ect) that the campaign could have had better communication with and linked to. The entire Facebook & MySpace communities were not utilized effectively, the campaign could have HARNESSED the collective communities POWER and INFLUENCE alot better but chose not to.

And then the commercials....enough said.

I told my husband the other night that the one thing that Ron Paul missed out on was not using the theme REVOLUTION to his advantage. This was a HUGE oppurtunity MISSED.
I just wish he would have taken the 8 million that was raised over his 4th qtr goal of 12 million and bought nat'l advertising on the big networks to get his message out there. Even if it was some of the youtube commercials...it would have given an impression to the MASSES that this is not a typical campaign, this is WAY DIFFERENT, they don't do the typical commercials or anything else typical.

I believe that if Dr. Paul had used the 8 million on young, fresh, hip commercials nationwide, the grassroots would have given more IMMEDIATELY. This was the one thing that everyone wanted, nat'l commercials....and HQ dropped the ball on this, it never gave the grassroots what it asked for.

Our family loves Ron Paul. We will support him. I do have to wonder about his congressional seat...(we are from Texas and Dr. Paul has always won his seat by a wide margin, so I don't know why there is such concern this time....we will see).

The whole thing, this email that was just sent, has raised many questions in my mind. This was not handled the right way, we deserved better. It was such a wet blanket email. As the scripture says, "I would rather you be HOT or COLD, not lukewarm."

With all that said, I have peace.

I realize that the judgement of Yahweh will come quickly and speedily now. For America DESERVES the leaders it has chosen. America will get EXACTLY what it has sown over the years.
Just think about it. America has sown such corruptness in the lives of many nations, has sown war (and nuclear bombs) and killed hundreds of thousands for SELFISH GAIN and with zero compassion.
America has caused other countries to live in poverty while our citizenry have acted as gluttons enjoying the best that the world has to offer and then whining about everything, never having grateful & humble hearts for the prosperity given.

So the RECKONING has come. The judgement is secure. The country is fallen.

I hope people are prepared. I feel that there are many on this site that are.

But for most, they are not. They will awaken on the morning of the COLLAPSE of AMERICA and wonder "HOW and WHY"...?? It will be too late.

For America to be restored to its foundation.....a LEVELING must come.

Let the LEVELING begin.

Leveling...

What a smashing idea... :D

WAKE UP AMERICA

RP, has had a dose of reality!! He knows the Republicn establishment has beaten him out of th presidency by Romney suspending his efforts.

This is all very bad news for America, our chance to have a President with real leadership abilitiy is gone.

We only have one option left, convince RP that for America's sake (and ours) please consider running as an independent.

To convince him we need only flood his office with our email messages all title Go RP for Third Party!

We then fill his cofers with money!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KT

WTF!

Romney has only suspended! That means his name will still be on ballots, his supporters will still vote for him and that means more votes taken from McStain. Now...as far as 3rd party goes please stop asking for Ron to go that route because I'm sure he knows all too well what he his is doing, to suggest otherwise implies that you know more about this than he does.....and that is just not true! Dose of reality? WELL! Bombarding HQ with bs emails about independant crap is only wasting
their time! Let them be! or better yet, draft yourself and run third.

keep at it kt

any anyone else maybe Alex Jones can talk some sense into him next week when he is on the show.

maybe its the fact that I have been up 22stright hours

but I fell the same way I was looking for something ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the letter confirmed it with rombot out suspended ore not I DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE FUCK CHOICES DO WE HAVE NOW!!!
Super T was a bust then this letter WTF WTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWtf!!!!
If he wont run 3rd then I don't know, Pick your poison,
I need something REALY HARDDDDDDDDDDD!!!! to dirnk
I feel like I am sliping into a clinical depression on this!
somebody anybody shoot me now I rather have be a supporter then the NWO
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I apologize for this comment

I will leave it up just for a while to express how I feel.

I think Ron Paul want establishment to think we are done

We have very good chance of winning the nomination. First, he is getting rid of many of the expensive and useless official campaign staffs and rely on grassroots(much cheaper and effective). He probably made a deal with Hackabee (remember WV?)to go against Mccain and Romney. If I were Huckabee, I will go with Ron Paul over Mccain. With Ron Paul, he doesn't have to worry about raising money and chance of winning against Dem is much greater(only way). Ron Paul knows Mccain will not get or has very slim chance of getting his 51% of delegates. Don't worry guys - it won't be easy, but we can win this thing!

Brokered Convention

I hear what Dr. Paul is saying, and why do you think Mitt dropped out? Because without him in the race, the chances of the b-convention are slim.

What is my wish? My prayer? That Dr. Paul would win every last one of the PRIMARIES coming up, and get ALL OF THE VOTES! McCain would look at the numbers and see that NOBODY voted for him! :)

But I have noticed one thing - McInsane in NOT in the good health that Dr. Paul is in! You never know - Chuck Norris made a good point.

Haha, I felt sort of the same, but then realized I was wrong.

He's just being honest. The chances are slim - is that so hard to hear? Is it wrong to hear? If you have a 10% chance of surviving an operation, wouldn't you RATHER know so you can better prepare?

As far as him not being what you had hoped for: if it wasn't for him, hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have been shaken from their apathy. He has done more for the movement than any of us could dream of doing. He reignited the revolution, and we're going to keep it going.

RP is treating us like grownups

Just like he always has. He is telling us how he sees it and letting us decide what we are going to do. For me, nothing has changed, we continue this fight until someone is the Republican nominee, hopefully this will be RP. If it isn't, then I go where he goes and after he is gone, then I continue with the message.

This won't be over in my lifetime, although sometime I feel like the guy in the Matrix, the one who just wished that he could crawl back into the dream and not know the truth.

Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both

That is exactly how I feel!!

I have to tell you, I really thought things would be different than this. I thought for sure if it came down to McCain and Paul it would inevitable.

Previously known as DCALIFANO

Very

Well said.

He's ending all the conspiracies and speculations and hare-brained schemes and all the BS. (Well, at least he's TRYING to end all of that... some people will take a while to get it and shut up or leave... then the rest of us can get down to the real long-term work that is at hand.)

BTW, every now and then I *do* crawl back into a "matrix" of sorts (I swallowed the "red pill" nearly 30 years ago or so). So I go and immerse myself in some good books in a quiet corner and go on a free "vacation."

Tolkien's works always were a refuge (Peter Jackson pretty much ruined that for me for a few years... probably 10 years from now I'll get it back).

But there are still others -- everything from Horatio Hornblower series to Harry Potter. And movies or TV series (the "Firefly" series is great for getting over and moving on from something like this campaign, it's all about life on the edges after a major failure and loss).

I AGREE.

I MOVE FORWARD TO WIN THIS ELECTION and I BELIEVE THAT RON PAUL WILL WIN, even though, I have a though that this may not be a good election to win. Nevertheless, THIS REVOLUTION HAS TO GO FULL THROTTLE BY PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND IT.

NO, that was your Mom. You are a Trolling Ass

"Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly." Mae West

Troll? And my mother too. What a night!

crackers4paul

I STILL BELIEVE THAT RON PAUL WILL WIN!

However, having said that, I have a second thought that this may not be a good election to win because even with Ron Paul in the office, I don't think we can avoid the next economic depression that I think will start around 2010. And, I think this depression will be much worse than the one in the 30's. If that's the case, it might be better to give that crap to Hitlary, and continue on with the revolution, so that when finally sh!*% hits the fan, we can accelerate the revoluation with big "I TOLD YOU SO!"

I think this economic depression should wake most people up. Before this crisis, this revoluation might be little premature.

But, it's EXTREMELY important to keep this revoluation going to save as much of what's left of liberty as possible, so that we can move forward with big "I TOLD YOU SO!" when the crisis comes.

So, guys and gals, ONWARD and UPWARD TO WIN!

Ron Paul is being honest with us

The Republican nomination is out of the question, so as far as the Republican Party is concerned the only thing he can do is educating as much as possible by nominally staying in the race until the convention.

He would be the one who would have the burden of running as a third party candidate, and for one reason or another he does not have the stomach for it or does not see it as a means to push his message. We need to respect his position on that.

Hopefully he will be successful in remaining in Congress where he may even get more attention for the cause of liberty. Clearly he is a great man in a less than great country.

You know Henry, I wish all

You know Henry, I wish all RP supporters were like you.

I have heard that McCain was

I have heard that McCain was born on a military base in a foreign country which excludes him from bieng able to become president.Only Huckabee and Paul left!

Like that will even hold

Like that will even hold true. This country is so corrupt that will never even matter. If your born on a american military base thats part of the united states and there fore I think he is a born citizen of the United States of A$$holes

Sigh

I've had so many of these moments in this campaign, I can sure appreciate your candor. I now know when I feel down I just hang tight and that excitement about this movement wells up again. It's tough for many who really do not get that this is more than Ron Paul but you know what? We're all awake and paying attention so I have great faith in those that think they are done for good, putting their feet back on the ground at some point when it's appropriate and joining their brothers and sisters once again in this r3volution.

America

does not need for Ron Paul to sit in the White House to turn itself around. He has given us a great gift, he has woken a huge percent of the population up to what's happening and why, and what America was really founded on. And, he has showed us what we need to do to get back on the proper course.

One of the most important things Americans need to do for themselves, is abolish the Federal Reserve System. This is truly the head of the beast, it is the owners of the Fed that sit at the head of the table behind the scenes, directing the government and media to further their feudal ideas which are contrary to the precipts of Liberty.

Who can do that? Not the President - only Congress can do that. Get it? The survival of the America our founders gave us doesn't hinge on the Presidency - it hinges on us.

Federal Reserve



Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve is a totally unaccountable power and the American people by themselves can't do a damn thing about it besides voting for and financing an advocate (Ron Paul) to get into the White House and sign executive orders to permit competing debt-free. non-Federal-Reserve currency to exist in the marketplace side-by-side with the debt-driven Federal Reserve notes.

So, our best move now is to hope that Barack Obama, a man who actually studied Constitutional Law at Havard, wins the Democratic Nomination and then we must educate Obama about our monetray crisis and debt crisis and try and get him to see the light.

We know McCain and Clinton are tools of the Establishment. They will both keep the Occupation going, the Military Bases, and Oil Profiteering going on and on.

Barack Obama, however, is still not that far removed from the streets of Chicago to be as deeply corrupted. So, yes we need a President --and a President with real integrity -- in order to create the executive orders that would provide any new developments in our currency and begin to take away the tyrannical power of the Federal Reserve.

Obama is our only hope now.
It takes a President ..and a smart one... to defy Congress and the Washington Elitists and the U.S. Media, and actually begin to address the Federal Reserve.
