Fact, Abramhoff PACS gave 58% to Democrats 42% to Republicans according to Open Secrets, a non partisan watch dog. So how about you actually learn the facts instead of pimping Leftist propaganda?
I agree the media was able to spin Abramoff as a GOP scandal. But that should never be used to excuse the corrupt pubbies who crawled into bed with him.
Ignore the facts, MNJohnnie, just as you always do...there are plenty of sources, so don’t pull that old kill the messenger crappola. Abramoff was scum, he was loved by Bush’s people. FACT.
Both of you are right. Abramhoff played both sides of the fence. His political philosophy was the ‘wallet wing’- he leaned whichever way made his wallet heavier.
Who but a dolt bribes just one faction?
If you’re a player, you give each side a taste. Like certain neighborhoods, you tip the cops and the mob.
A technique as old as the first construction bribe in Hammurabi’s day.
The facts show that you are the one "pimping propaganda."
You just can't stand watching the Abramoff Wing of the GOP being amputated. That's too bad. The gangrene is spreading and it has to go.
No wonder you're so touchy, and rude to AuntB.

Abramoff, Bush Together on Camera

Trolling through the House oversight committees report this afternoon, it became clear that Jack Abramoff was a bad influence on U.S. policy in the Northern Mariana Islands. Otherwise, the report, which said upfront that it was limited by key players taking the 5th, left more questions than answers. Here are a couple of the biggest questions (and a few photos of Abramoff and Bush):
Why were White House personnel officials sending emails to Stephen Hadley in 2001 about a politically motivated State Dept. firing? The current National Security Adviser was deputy national security adviser at the time, putting him in a position where he would have nothing to do with Abramoffs political dealings (along with the Mariana Islands, Abramoffs top clients were four American Indian tribes). From what we know, Hadleys involvement doesnt make any sense.
That leads to another question: Did Abramoffs influence extend beyond helping his specific clients? The committee has six (low quality) pictures of him with President George Bush. (We published a handful of our favorites below.) We know Abramoff had extensive interactions with Bushs political adviser Karl Rove. Theres also a lot of amusing stuff at the end of the report about Abramoffs lobbying firm, Greenberg Traurig, buying tickets for people like Rove and former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman to events like Washington Wizards games and U2 and Bruce Springsteen concerts on Abramoffs dime.
