What, exactly, is the proof of wrongdoing, corruption, or illegality that currently exists that would allow Dean to claim that the GOP is corrupt and solely corrupt in all of this?

Good question. So far all I have been able to figure out is that Abramoff admitted that he scammed his Indian tribe clients and committed criminal acts in his financing of his casino ships buy. So, he's a criminal. They gave him a plea deal ostensibly because they are going after bigger fish among elected representative, but that is only an assumption at this time. If he actually bribed a congresscritter to take certain action in his/her political position, that would be bad, but I haven't heard anyone actually charged with that yet. So far, the scandal is that Abramoff is a crook, and he's a Republican.

You see, that's just it. That's why I posted the serious question. WHAT IS THE CRIME HERE?!?!?!

Your quote that I post above seems to sum up everything I have been able to find. A criminal does wrong and gets caught, so we accuse the political party he's generally associated with today of crimes?

So then, do we look into every charity and University, for example, that he's ever given money to as well? Do we assume them to be guilty of criminal acts?

As I said, I just don't get it. What is the crime here? Moreover, what is the proof of any crime here???

I hate saying this but why are the Dems playing this so loudly? It's not a winner. Playing up someone else's negatives does nothing for your own positives and turns people off.
Just imagine yourself at a car dealer and the salesperson tells you that "Jeeps Suck. I saw one with a flat tire the other day and they keep exploding, buy my Chevy you ignoramus because I know better" You'd be a little turned off. If the same guy said, "I have experience with Jeep and they make a comparable product with some innovative ideas but I think we are better and here's why".

Who's going to be more successful?

ps- I hate offering up advice to Dims but this is basic intra personal communication stuff.
