And as soon as he lost, he beat feet for Wall Street wealth.
Color me skeptical, but it would seem he never viewed himself as a rep, but rather as a power broker with full intent to line his pockets.
Washington DC, where avarice intersects ambition to our detriment.
Vote conservative in a primary, republican in the general.
Even if you don’t like a particular republican, it pulls the entire caucus to the right. Harry Reid thanks every conservative who fails to vote for Cochran, rounds, Purdue, and so forth.
News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... an earlier State Dept management alert warned significant financial risk and a lack of internal control has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch as SoS.
BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO Billy Boy got a hundred million dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon).
=====================================================
Now we know how the "dead broke " clintons got their geedy hands on billions of dollars. Being president has an astoundingly good monetary return....that's why Hillary wants back in.
Hundreds of millions flow into the Clintons three tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into hundreds of separate fund-raising machines.
The Clintons calculatedly morphed into the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation....to give it more fund-raising capabilities. Earlier, a NYT's expose chronicled the shady financing of the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative foundation.

The HILL.COM REPORTED: Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades theyve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.
The Journal tallied the Clintons speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clintons two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clintons Senate and presidential campaigns.
Between $1.3-2 billion came from US companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes political operations.
The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for whats expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.
Overall, the Clintons political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit "foundation" drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--

CLINTON, INC book review
Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the calculations, secret deals, and backstabbing that led to the Clintons return to political prominence, and to Hillarys position as 2016 frontrunner.
The Bill and Hillary Clinton who left the White House in January 2001 almost seem like two different people from the ones the country now reveres. Back then they were a disgraced couple, weighed down by a decade of scandal, controversial pardons of financial supporters, and the pedestrian pilfering of furniture from the White House.
A dozen years later, as they prepare for a second White House run, the Clintons are in a completely different orbit. Not only have they gone from virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, they are arguably the two most popular politicians in America-respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. Even their daughter Chelsea, raised in the White House as her father was impeached, is considering a go at politics. The Clintons will be around for some time to come.
Investigative reporter Daniel Halper of the conservative Weekly Standard uses a wealth of research and detailed interviews with friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn around their political fortunes-deals with their political allies, their political enemies, and even each other.
