This is the source!
Well not to be rude, but most of those monies seem far too little to sway a vote... some perhaps, but 2k or 500 sure isn't going to buy you a vote.
22k maybe 78k probably.. but most of those numbers are way to little to peddle too much influence.

That's a one hell of a list!
I'm going to the store for some more popcorn and beer. This is going to be fun!
Thank you.

I don't know how accurate this is, but it doesn't look good.
Bob Ney (R-Ohio) $31,500
Now explain the ties, by the very members of the Democrat Party MAKING THE ACCUSATION, to the SAME source of supposed corruption?
Notice the almost $400,000 given to the Democrat Congressional Comittee did not make it into this story. In fact not one Democrat is even mentioned. Why is that?
This list has been posted on other threads by 'justanobody' and 'flattorney'.. with the following link:
http://www.nrsc.org/newsdesk/document.aspx?ID=1362
I am just stating this for clarification.
That's cool, but why not post BOTH parties? That would be even more helpful.
From what I can see this is nothing more than politics by the MSM against republicans at this point. Republicans ought to be out screaming from the roof tops bias holding up a list of the dems also any time this comes up, and pointing it out any time a reporter opens his mouth
Republicans not campaigning against the MSM every time bias is shown is just stupid at this point especially with so many alternate sources of news....just keep point is out....people learn quick.
Nope. However, You are demonstrating an inablity to behave as a civil, rational adult. I have no intrested to catering to your petulentce. Here is the point since you seem to have trouble grasping what THIS thread is about./
The PROBLEM is that the facts of this story are being selectively reported. The ACCUSATION being made is ties to Abrahmoff are proof of guilt. OK. Work from that assumption.
Now explain the ties, by the very members of the Democrat Party who are MAKING THE ACCUSATIONS, to the SAME source of supposed corruption?
Thanks Johnnie for adding some balance to the media's partisan reporting.
Great work!

Rush has mentioned that she is.
I have posted this list a few times on FR, and have provided links every time.
Abramoff gave Charles B. Rangel (D-NY) $36,000........Rangel wrote to the NY Post:
I TOOK NO $ FROM ABRAMOFF
http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/letters/59716.htm
January 1, 2006
The Post has done me a grave injustice with the article, "Rangel's Wampum Linked to Scandal" (Dec. 27), printed beneath a headline that connects my friendship with the Native American community to an association with sleazy lobbyist Jack Abramoff. You imply this guilt-by-association despite my specific denial to your reporter that I know Abramoff or have ever, to my knowledge, taken a dime from him.
I repeat, I don't know Abramoff, have never met Abramoff and have never accepted a political contribution from Abramoff. But if I do find that any contribution I have received was made at the behest of Abramoff, I will return it. Contributions by Native Americans to my political campaigns have nothing to do with Abramoff but result from my legislative efforts in defense of Native American rights and sovereignty for many years.

Charles B. Rangel Member of Congress, Manhattan
I get it. I guess it's sort of ironic to decry selective reporting by selectively reporting. Seems like it'd make more sense to include the WHOLE list, which is what the MSM should be doing, doncha think?
