4. None of the ILLEGAL Abramoff money went to Dems. Not a penny.

The issue is the STOLEN money which Jackoff ILLEGALLY funneled directly to the GOP.

NGU.

11. Amen. n/t

6. Tribe money wasn't DIRTY UNTIL ABRAMOFF BRIBED HIS PET REPUBS WITH IT.

Surely you people are aware of that by now.

Why do people keep confusing the money that was LEGAL that traditionally would go to Senators and Congressmen of states with Indian interests with the ILLEGAL BRIBES that were given to pet Republican legislators BY ABRAMOFF?


Only Repub operatives keep confusing the two on purpose to distract from their guilt.

12. Exactly. The thing is, how do we make people understand that? n/t

14. Well, you could have done so in your original post for starters.

8. This line here is the "beef" of the article, but they wrote is so strange

that I can't even figure out exactly what they are saying:

"But Abramoff's records show his lobbying partners billed for nearly two dozen phone contacts or meetings with Reid's office in 2001 alone."

Doesn't that just mean that Abramoff's buddies billed Tribal clients for meetings that they set up with Reid? That doesn't say that Reid got any money from those meetings, just the lobbiests... and that is what lobbiests do for a job. This seems like another hit peice...

9. It seems like a weak attempt to pull Reid in.

Very weak.
