Some thoughts I shared with my mom today.

[ronnykmarshall]

Mom LOVES Hillary and there are times when we talk about her I actually get choked up. She like me is PISSED about the media coverage that basically tells the rest of the 48 states to get lost.

We were talking about "the video" of Hillary from the other day. My mom said "oh god forbid she shows emotion. I knew as soon as I saw that the fucking media was going to go ape shit over this." (Mom has a mouth on her like I do) "So NOW she's gonna be see as weak and when that god-damn monkey (Bush) sheds a crocodile tear they piss all over themselves."

I went on to tell her some of the reaction here about it how I've been told that "anyone that votes for Clinton should be ashamed of themselves" .... this was an exact quote from a few months ago. THAT set her off. "ASHAMED?? If anyone should be ASHAMED is the people that voted for that cock sucker that's in office now! THOSE are the people that should be ashamed for voting for that piece of shit two times!" Now if you guys EVER wonder where I get my spunk and MOUTH from, it's my mom!

THEN, she brings me to tears. She then said (choking up herself) "I can see it in her (Hillary's)eyes that she REALLY cares about people and wants to do what's right".

That's my momma. She cracks me up and brings me to tears.

I think this might sum up how strongly I feel about this election and getting Hillary elected.

I thought that Clinton shows emotion thing was bullshit as well.
Being at ground zero in Cali like me you now this ain't over by a long shot.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. and thank god I got my ballot mess fixed.

I started voting on my absentee ballot, voted for Hillary and stared to do the Props. I fucked up and filled in #92 when voting on prop 92! Duh?

I called today and they're sending me out a new one.

10. Lovely story, ronny

Thank you :)

[ronnykmarshall]

33. Thanks Wes!

[annie1]

12. make sure she makes sure her friends get out and vote. :). that's nice.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. She only reminds her friends that are democrats!

My step dad's a book keeper and they have a selected few clients that are democrats. My aunt is a democrat as well. So it's pretty easy to get our peeps out to vote.

[frogmarch]

15. Your mom, rocks, ronny. She's got spunk! I like her! nt

[ronnykmarshall]

31. She's quite the character.

She any step-dad are a match made in heaven.

Both solid democrats .... thank god ... it took me years to train them!

[AlertLurker]

19. I'm soooooo envious.

My mom passed away on Dec 27th. I really am at a complete and utter loss...

And thanks for sharing...do so often, please.

[ronnykmarshall]

23. I sure will ....

:hug:

[Alamom]

20. I love your Mom, Ronny, please tell her, "She rocks." nm

[ronnykmarshall]

24. I will make sure to do so!

I'll send her a link to this thread.

I did a birthday thread for her in lounge a few years ago and she loved it.

[DeepModem Mom]

21. Some in my family, both Hillary and Obama supporters...

are in real emotional distress over the treatment of the Clintons. I guess as Bill said famously, we are truly feeling their pain. I'm not sure Bill's pain isn't greater than Hillary's -- he's trying to help her, and keeps getting it wrong. It's my experience that men have a hard time not being able to fix things, especially for the women in their lives.

I just said to them that Bill and Hillary will be okay. The journey they have traveled is wondrous. (As I type, Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, damn him, is playing the teary tape once again for his interviewee to comment on. What the HELL more is there to say???)

Bill came from nothing to Oxford, to Yale, to the White House, to acclaim around the globe. Hillary has worked since a teenager for causes. She distinguished herself at Wellesley, in the White House. She is the sitting Senator from the Empire State. They have a wonderful daughter. They are rich. The jackals devouring them at the moment will be forgotten in a few years. They will live in history books.

Tell your Mom, even if both Clintons don't make it to the White House, I think they'll be okay. Andrea Mitchell said on MSNBC a little while ago that while Bill is angry, Hillary today is serene.

[ronnykmarshall]

26. Keith's been pissing me off.

But that's the media.

and thank you again for your nice words. I hope on Feb 6th (the day after super tues and my birthday), I'll be celebrating!

[mtnsnake]

25. Tell your mom she's my hero, ronny!

:thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

28. Mine too

Thanks!

[lisainmilo]

27. Very Heartfelt....nice post!

:)

[ronnykmarshall]

29. Thank you Lisa

I think that's what keeps me going is that all I can do is post from the heart.

[LucyParsons]

30. Any vote for a pro-war, pro-corporate DLCer is something to be ashamed of.

Democrat, Republican, or independent. I will only very reluctantly vote for Edwards, if it comes to it, because of the same concerns.

[Roland99]

32. Who the f*** cares if she cried or didn't? She's *DLC*! AIPAC *owns* her! She's a war hawk!!

FUCK THE DLC!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

36. Oh goody ...

So glad you showed up.

[Roland99]

37. So glad that you're glad. But, truth hurts, eh?

[Cameron27]

35. Hehe,

if I had your mom around, I wouldn't have needed the vodka tonic ROFL

(and yep, it gave me a damned migraine)

Give her a hug from me :-)

[ronnykmarshall]

38. It's a deal!
