I have no doubt of the Clinton's graft. One need only look at their real estate. Fortunately, the Dan Rostenkowskis and Bill/Hillary Clintons are newsworthy for their rarity. The influence of money is more subtle. I do find it interesting that Rosty is from the same Chicago machine that produced Barack Obama, but that is all there is for present--interest. In comparison, Republicans are like the driven snow. Reporters will give a Democrat some slack but never a Republican. Even minor missteps are often career ending.
The double standards are necessary to keep us evenly divided. You do know that a handful of the rich and powerful own almost all the media in this country. They also fund both parties. remember when the banks got bailed out. Both parties couldn't give them our money fast enough. No chance of a veto.
I thought our government might use those trillions of dollars to help the hard working taxpayers keep their homes. The banks would have still got the money but the people would have been helped and most could have kept their homes. But the rich and powerful had no intention of those people keeping their homes. Not when they could make they buy them all over again.
