Statement from Ashley Williams on Hillary Clinton's "apology.

91. I Find It Quite Amazing That With All The Information Out There

about so many issues, not just this one but so, so many more. I was around and remember very well what was done in the past and what so many issues have done to this country today. While Bernie may have voted on some bills that generated one way and then got amended is different to me. And even if there are a 4 or 5 that I may disagree with him even today, I still have the ability to weigh one against the other.

I was once a very big supporter of Bill Clinton and gave Hillary the benefit of the doubt on issues too. Over time I've seen where I was wrong and have seen the damage that a great deal of his legislation has done to this country. I didn't realize at the time what compromises had been made behind the scenes that lead to the birth of the DLC. THIS is when I began to look much more closely at what had happened and it disturbed me. I foolishly thought the Democratic Party would eventually realize that this slow movement to the Right was something that would hurt this country. But no, it keep moving more to right... they say DLC is gone and now it's The Third Way, call it what you want, but for me THIS PARTY isn't the Party I joined so many years ago.

To see so many here desperately cling to the damage that it's done is even more disturbing because it SHOULD be very CLEAR how the Party sold out and lost it's ability to fight for "We The People!" I NOW clearly see what has been done and I can look back with sadness and regret that I didn't SCREAM louder for what we lost.

The time has now come and WE DO HAVE A CHANCE for the CHANGE we keep hearing from too many candidates every election cycle. Nobody's perfect and some votes may upset people here, but OVER ALL we have ONE CANDIDATE who has essentially stood for what he stood for since he became a politician. But the other one... WHO COMMANDS all the power and actually HAS IT only means that I'm willing to BUY the same crap one more time.

So perhaps many here never knew anything different and they blindly follow Hillary, but there are many here who ALREADY KNOW and are still willing follow her never really wanting anything to change.

That's NOT what The Democratic Party I joined stood for and not the one I am willing to stand with should she become our nominee. The DNC seems unable to see a certain REALITY and is willing to pay the price. My biggest problems is that I'll have to live with THEIR MISTAKE!

At least this time I'm supporting someone who I truly feel CARES about this country and "we the people!" And it pains me more than I can say that I may BE FORCED to vote for someone else simply because the other side is a step closer to collapse. Still a vote for Hillary isn't one of support for her, it's against the other side.

NO MORE STATUS QUO... that's it! It breaks my heart that many ONCE GREAT Democrats have also sold out and I'm SURE THEY KNOW exactly what I'm talking about, yet they're willing to kneel down in surrender. AND FOR WHAT? Fill in the answer yourself!
