The whole US political apparatus is compromised by money. The simple fact is that AIPAC is a financial juggernaut aimed at getting people they support elected. And if you go agains Israeli interests they will throw their weight behind someone else.

I'm not excusing it btw.. campaign finance reforms are important if the US populace wants their politics in service of the people and not in service of rich special interests.
