12. Here's a link that proves it:
http://www.capitaleye.org/abramoff_donor.asp

You can sort by donor. ALL the Abramoff money went to Republicans. Sickening.

17. good idea CSP.......
if any repug wants to argue we can tell them to click on the link and STFU! It's the 1-2 punch of wisdom. First simplicity then documented proof.

Maybe rpgamerd00d will consider incorporating this link in the OP.

27. Abramoff told them the donations were for one thing then used the money...
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 11:00 PM by rpgamerd00d
...for something totally different.

Hence, scam. Fraud, if you prefer the legal term.

32. And Abramoff never told the tribes he was getting a kickback
Abramoff would recommend that the tribes hire his buddies for millions of dollars, but neglected to tell them that he got half the money.

34. suggestions.
1. Use pictures of indians and casions for "tribes", use a pic of Abramoff in his fedora for Abramoff, the RNC elephant logo for Republicans, and the Donkey for Democrats....make the $ signs bigger.
