Interesting to note my Freepmail on this. Amazing how some supposedly "Conservatives" Freepers are so desperate to make excuse for, or ignore, that the Democrats up to their eyeballs in this. The point, as some of you fail to grasp, is that Democrats are equally guilty of "Corruption" while lying daily to the American people about their part in this. This is NOT an excuse for Republicans. Republicans are NOT making excuses for those Republicans caught up in this. The purpose of the list is to show the Democrat Party's Culture of Hypocrisy. The Democrats are the ones running all over screaming "Corruption" Ok, so if it is "Corruption" why are they up to their eyeballs in it?????

To be fair, those numbers are his personal donations and those of tribal clients. His personal donations are all (R), you can see them here: http://www.capitaleye.org/abramoff_donor.asp

The question now is: did he handle the contributions from his tribal clients? If so, then yes, Dems did get money from him. If the tribes/casinos acted on their own then Howie Dean may be technically correct.

Irrelevant hair splitting. If you accept the Democrat claim that money from Abramoff is corrupting his limited personal donations are CONSIDERABLY less corrupting then the Ten of THOUSANDS of dollars his PAC shoveled out. The Democrats are basically trying to make this argument

"Yeah, I took money from the Mafia but it ONLY came from their legitimate business not from illegal drug sale profits" Sorry if the Democrats want to try and make that argument the American Voters will laugh them to scorn. IF money from Abramoff is "proof of corruption" his PERSONAL donation is NO different then his PAC donations.

Funny how it is the Republican Bush Justice Department that broke this wide open by going after and prosecuting Abramoff. Funny how all the people who want to make this a "Republican scandal" are so desperate to just skip right by that fact. Why is that?

his PERSONAL donation is NO different then his PAC donations.

I completely agree. Was this his PAC or were the tribes operating on their own?

Because it is a fraud made up Leftist "news" site.

Dude, I (as well as many other Freepers) use newsmeat.com all the time and there is ZERO doubt in my mind that the data they present is unbiased. You are way off base (and apparently your meds) with these comments

Perhaps you don't remember Jeb Eddy? This fool:

It was a search on newsmeat that exposed this fraud back to 1999.

Sometimes you have to be man enough to deal with facts, instead of putting your hands over your ears and yelling "la la la la" as loud as you can. Leave that behavior to the DU 'mos.
