The 7 Stages of Grief...What Stage Are Republicans In ?

[georjec2]

So there were none.

Right Sprightly there were none that you saw. But you'll never convince me that I didn't see them.

It started right out the gate in Jan, 2010. With comments about how funny they looked. I have to admit that posters from both sides smacked that down.

Then later there were the complaints about the secret service details and the cost to the nation to have them going to school with them. Why can't they be taught at home if Obama is so worried was the question.

Complaints about the cost of the clothes they wore and secret service details wasting the taxpayers money on guarding Malia and Sasha and their friends because the girls wanted to go camping.

When Michelle went on her weight loss campaign for children there was a post that said in affect she needs only concern herself that here children don't get as big a z z ed as their momma.

While not prevalent or persistent it was there.

To post a link I'd have to wade through hundreds and hundreds of posts and I won't dedicate the time just so you can say...OK.

So you are essentially saying there were none.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

That is what I have been screaming

LOL is it time to circle the wagons?

That Obama's re-election has shook the GOP to it's very foundation is evident by the hand ringing and rants you hear all over the various medias by many republicans about half the country being stupid, desecration of the flag in avatars and a general bitterness rampant throughout the blogosphere.

It reminded of the 7 stages of grief and what stage the far right republicans where going through after losing so miserably to the very person they promised a chicken sandwich, 7 year old or Doberman Pincher could beat in an election at any time.

They were so sure yet they were so wrong. It hurts them and it shows.

See the list below to try and figure out what stage of grief the far right republicans are in now.
Stage One - Shock or Disbelief
Stage Two - Denial
Stage Three - Anger
Stage Four - Bargaining
Stage Five - Guilt
Stage Six - Depression
Stage Seven - Acceptance and Hope

You missed the most important stage, the eighth stage.
The eighth stage is the stage of “aversion.”

You know, like biblical Lott and his sons who fled two biblical cities in the book of Genesis chapter 19. That’s when the entire male population of those cities tried to “hook up” with two males new to the area. Unfortunately, the bible tells us that the “two men” were angles sent to destroy the city:

4Before they went to bed, the townsmen of Sodom, both young and old—all the people to the last man—surrounded the house.
5 They called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sexual relations with them.”
13 We are about to destroy this place, for the outcry reaching the LORD against those here is so great that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had contracted marriage with his daughters.* “Come on, leave this place,” he told them; “the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

Yep, if cities in the U.S. are leveled by a repeat occurrence of real “fire and brimstone” a la Sodom and Gomorrah, I for one do not want to be anywhere near, if possible. It would be far better if practitioners of the evil arts are all congregated into one area, say blue states for example. Then if fire and brimstone hits the U.S., possibly a few good souls would escape the mass destruction.

No, there is no “hate” towards our wayward brothers and sisters, only pity and sorrow in seeing the road they chose to walk on.
Matthew 18, 15 - 17 compels us to point out the apparent wrong road our wayward brothers and sisters are walking on, in the hopes of getting a few back on track.
15 “If your brother* sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.* If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
Matthew 10, 12-15 lays it on the line. For any town whose inhabitants rejected the good news that the disciples were preaching, the disciples were instructed to shake the dust from their feet.
12 As you enter a house, wish it peace.
13 If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you.
14Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words—go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.
15 Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that town.

No, the stage of close to a million American citizens is merely “aversion.” Trying to put as much distance between the good America and warped America.

Grief???? Yeah Grief for the denise of our country. But now the Grief is over and we can watch the country disintegrate and the unemployment rate soar, taxes go up, companies close down, and Jihad rise.

[Grindelwald]

But now the Grief is over and we can watch the country disintegrate and the unemployment rate soar,

You mean like it has the past 3 years or so? Oh wait, it's actually gone down.... You fail, again...

good to see you still hoping for failure of this great nation...

You're beyond pathetic..

[afan]

Now I think the Republicans are in the final stage. It is called nutso stage. Now even Romney has lost it after saying Obama won because of promises and giving things away. even Bobby has said how sad this is.

What a sad, paranoid life you liberal desperadoes lead.

[bullmikey]

The stage that says you guys won, now try and get over it will yeh.

[The Astute Reader(tm)]

What stage is Impeachment?

That would be the "bat-$hit insane" stage.

[The Astute Reader(tm)]

The one consolation I have is knowing that when, not if, this country goes down the tube during the next 4 years...

You red sheep were bleating this four years ago. This Chicken Little act is getting old.

[The Astute Reader(tm)]

A question for you, georjec. What deep seated psychological issues do you have that lead you to want to feel superior? I am wondering if you are even aware of them.

At this point the most useful contribution you could make for your cause is to stop talking.

[RIKMAN]

I'm at step 7 Acceptance of the hopelessness!

Yep- that's it
