Jack Abramoff is about as bipartisan as Karl Rove or Grover Norquist.
This is really all that has to be said. He's been with them for over two decades.

Do these sound like the words of an 'equal opportunity mney dispenser' as Bush put it:

"It is not our job to seek peaceful co-existence with the Left," he once said. "Our job is to remove them from power permanently."

What about the following:

"the lobbyist Jack Abramoff would lend College Republicans his skybox at the MCI center, donate money, and lead training sessions. (In 2002, the crnc paid Jack Abramoff for "accounting & legal services.")"

The media is being very misleading in claiming Dems had anything to do with this. While Dems, like all politicians, take $ from interest groups and vote in accordance with those groups' beliefs, Dems are not tied to this scandal.

1. That's what I've been saying to people.
That it's the same as saying that Karl Rove would donate to Democrats. It's so obviously ridiculous, that you have to wonder about those who are willing to believe it.

2. You do know that Rove lists himself as a Democrat
He is a "registered Democrat" so they say anyway. I believe every single thing that comes out of the Whitehouse, don't you?
