It's like this country is Boogie Nights. We're Little Bill and politicians are our wife. We keep showing complete apathy for their corruption and bullshit so they have no motivation to change. And just like the film, we know how it ends, the only variable is when.
Part of me thinks we often aren't willing to ask more of our politicians because we aren't wanting to look at ourselves either. We looked at Bill Clinton's cheating on his wife and lying his ass off and said, "But that doesn't make him a bad President".
That was so we didn't have to look at our cheating on our wife and lying our asses off and confront the possibility that we might be bad people.

That's double-edged sword. You want a slippery, lying bastard to deal with the rest of the world so they don't take advantage of your state. On the flip side, those same officials are in a prime position to take advantage of the citizenry as well.

Will this sway the vote of anyone that doesn't sport at tinfoil hat?

Does one really need a tinfoil hat to think the Clintons have taken money?

If the statement was, "The Clintons are awash in dirty money," I wouldn't complain. Then again, that statement's true of every member of Congress for several decades. The tone of that ad is pandering to the conspiracy theorists.

I don't think Bill needs help getting pussy. It's 100% that second thing, but it doesn't make him wrong.
