When the people of a nation have no morals they become sheep who say "So what if he cheated on his wife....", "So what if he cheated on his taxes...", "So what if they're spending money we don't have..." "So what if they say one thing then do another." They willingly hand the nation to leaders who promise them the most "goodies" regardless of their moral fiber. And as in the case of Hitler's Germany, a nation in the hands of immoral leaders is doomed.
