Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: Except a lot of people made it to the white house without being caked in mud

[quote name="blackwater"]For example, Barack Obama didn't enrich himself in office, either during or before his presidency. John McCain didn't use politics to make himself rich-- he even sponsored a campaign finance bill (which failed to accomplish its aims, and was later struck down by the court, but at least he tried.) McCain and Romney had careers outside politics that didn't involve trading influence for favors. It's not paranoia to point out that the Clintons are sleazy, just a simple fact. Clinton is a more mainstream candidate, but still every bit as large a pile of shit as Trump, morally speaking. I also find it amusing that people are so scared of how "authoritarian" Trump is, when Hillary is the same way. [/quote]
