86. Oh How True That Is... I Have Already Made That Decision

quite a few times here. I've been a Democrat for about 35-40 years and never was anything else. Depending on who is our nominee will determine whether I leave or not. What I've seen happen since Bill Clinton was first elected has been a steady turn to the right. It wasn't very noticeable at first, took a while and I remember getting up very, very early when I heard Bill was going to have a Rally at UF in Gainesville, FL. I took a friend along and we drove 5 hrs. to see him because I had been working to get him elected way back then.

There was a roped off area way down in front that was reserved for people who were involved in helping him but you had to have a special pass to get down there. I was pretty upset because I had driven so far to see him and I made it known to many around me. The MSM was there CNN and all the biggies back then were there because he had generated excitement. I managed to get someone to take pity on me and was given a pass but my I needed TWO because of my friend. I'm not sure if it was Connie Chung who worked at CNN or some other person that was well known who came to our rescue and turned to some other members and got me one. But I got TWO and we got down to the 2nd row right in front of where he was going to speak. Senator Bill Nelson spoke there that day and after the rally we saw his bus and I was so happy, then we drove back home.

I've ALWAYS remembered that day and remember him looking right at us as he spoke and I thought WOW that was great! I defended him during all the womanizing and so much more, but it wasn't until he was elected to his 2nd term that I began to really SEE the change. Still, back then there was Newt Gingrich so I stuck with him and Hillary too. I vividly remember Hillary wearing a pink outfit at a BIG DEAL press conference defending herself and what she had done when she worked at the law firm before she became First Lady. I defended BOTH of them back then too.

I'm posting about this because I've been among those who have been attacked and told I was one of the many who have infiltrated here to put her down. Obviously this is so far off the mark, but because I've learned so much about the Clintons over the years and especially the TWO FOR ONE COMMENT Bill made after he was elected I simply don't have any faith in them.

So many here say she can't be held accountable for what happened and the legislation that got passed when THEY were in the WH, but seeing Bill doing all he's done so far in her campaign that seems illegal to me, I DO think they support each other's views and have always done so.

Over these many years I became more and more upset by what I saw happening and it turned me off. So much so that I now see a person who I absolutely don't trust and feel in my gut that THEY will do whatever needs to be done to get elected. Say anything that's expedient depending on who they speak to. BUT even more distressing is the POWER that they now have, and that stepping on anyone's toes to get that POWER. I also know that even though they've been able to become so powerful that they've made many enemies and the "in the know" people are aware of what they can do. Even though it seems she's so beloved there's a shallowness in that support.

So here I am today after all these years and have seen what the beginning of the DLC/Third Way Democrats have given us. AND I DON'T LIKE IT and I will have an extremely hard time voting for her IF in the end I have to. But, I'm wavering on that and I FIND myself boxed in. I've had it! She doesn't fool me in any way, but I'm even more upset because what's on the other side may be so AWFUL that I have REAL FEAR.

I'll end by saying Frank & Claire Underwood, and I have seen all of the latest series. The ending of the last episode is really, really scary.
OK, went on for too long... but it is a true story and WHY I feel the way I do.
