Abramoff ONLY gave to Republicans

In terms of his personal gifts, EVERY SINGLE ONE was to a Republican. See for yourself.

And the NRSC was caught lying about this. They called it a typo.

There site continues to say that "40 of the 45 members of the Senate Democrat Caucus have taken money from Abramoff, his associates, and Indian tribe clients."

Except none of the money was from Abramoff, so it should say "40 of the 45 members of the Senate Democrat Caucus have taken money from Abramoff associates and Indian tribe clients."

And aren't the Indian tribe clients the VICTIMS in this story? Is the NRSC claiming that Democrats should be ashamed to receive money from groups that were bilked by Jack Abramoff? This view makes it sound like Indian tribes shouldn't have a right to use their free speech to lobby Congress.

It's almost amusing to see the Republicans try to squirm out of this one. Their entire movement, the entire way they do business is going down. That fig leaf of bipartisanship can't be seen with a microscope.
