The following lyrics from "The Gambler" (by Kenny Rogers) specifically applies to playing cards.
If you think about it, there is also could be a playing politics application:
"If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep"

I hate SuperPacs too, but I would hate using taxpayer money even worse. The system is FUBAR.
