Did * just say Abromhoff "may have contributed to my campaign?"
but he contributed to lots of other campaigns. Sounds like they've have INDEED told him Abromhoff money can be traced to him directly. Add those pictures and hope like hell Abromhoff takes the chance and rolls over on this...

Well, one can only hope that idiot is about tho hang himself!

1. Abramoff gave the Chimp more than $100,000
Amazing how every time one of the incompetent drunk's chums gets into the spotlight, they have to run away from each other....

3. What's the contribution limit?
Is $100,000 over the limit or not?

5. Personal limit is $2000. Abramoff secured enough from others
to get himself into the "Pioneer" level of the junta donor pyramid. That means a special certificate and PHOTO ops ;)

7. Abramoff is a Bush Pioneer
for both the 2000 and 2004 elections.

In the 2000 election that meant you collected $100,000 worth of contributions from numerous people and companies. I believe the amount was higher for the 2004 election.

In addition, Abramoff was rewarded with a position on Bush's transition team after the selection in 2000. Abramoff was a member of Bush's inner circle, not just aome slob who might have given Bush money once or ended up in a few photo ops.

2. Yeah, may have contributed $200K
The whole thing sickens me. There are five photos of Bush with Abramoff and Abramoff says Bush askeds him about his kids, but no, Bush can't recall meeting him.

This is corruption at its worst, but because Abramoff never wore a blue dress, no one cares.

10. Sad, isn't it? We seem to expect our Pols to be corrupt
and that is accepted - yet should one our pols ever be caught pants down that is horrid and sinful and worthy of dominating news and ending careers. Politicians should have no sexual urges let alone ever act on them! I'm not condoning sleazy trysts like the Clinton affair but in a sane world it wouldn't rise to the level (or above :eyes:) of a President as corrupt as this one obviously is.

11. I meant to underscore "MAY" but by the time I got back to this it was to
late to edit. The freaking pretzlehead knows Abromoff contributed to his campaign but he never actually comes out and states it in case the sheeple have a problem with it. That statement is laughable to say the least. No need to send him a link. We need to spike his drink with truth serum before every public appearance! :evilgrin:
