Irrelevant attempt at to diver attention off topic. Doesn't matter who "Got more" that is just an attempt to rationalize making excuses for the Democrats on the list. The Republicans are NOT the ones making the "Culture of Corruption" accusations. The Democrats are the accusers and are making the accusations KNOWING full well they are equally guilty. That makes the Democrats action in this matter far far far worse.
Nice try to make excuses for the Democrats but it will not work. Doesn't do any good to argue Democrats are "less guilty" because some Republicans got more money. That whole defense has all ready been render hypocritical and false when the Democrat Party has gone out and claimed "they don't know jack" in an Ad Campaign. Some of the people on the list (Like Nancy Pelosie and Harry Reid) are the shrillest voices in the Democrat Party screaming about the "GOP Scandal".
The real scandal here is how the self proclaimed "People Watch Dogs", the establishment Journalists, are busy acting as the willing Propaganda Mouthpieces for the Democrat Party PR game.
What does it say that Democrat Party leaders, who are ON THE LIST, are busy claiming guilt by association and accusation for the Republicans on the List? What does it say about the Democrats who are MAKING the accusation when they are equally tied to the supposed source of corruption, Abrahamoff? If you are REALLY interested in "truth seeking" you would not be so desperate to make up phony excuses for the Democrats on this.
