[stepnw1f]

Holy Shi-it...

Anyone care to post that list!!!

[Poppyseedman]

1. Here's a list

http://www.capitaleye.org/abramoff_recips.asp

Ugly all around

[stepnw1f]

8. That List is Huge

I will need to verify the source.

[Poppyseedman]

24. Do you think you are making the list up?

The color "Green" on our money isn't a political party. It colors both dems and rethugs

[stepnw1f]

28. I Am Making Up, What?

The list you gave me does not take into account how that money was given to Dems. Also, did these Dems do political favors? Nope...

"Although Kornblut amended her statement to claim that Abramoff "had his clients donate to Democrats," her comment falsely suggests that Republicans and Democrats are equally enmeshed in the scandal surrounding Abramoff. In fact, while Democrats have received contributions from Abramoff's lobbying groups and his clients, Kornblut's statement ignores the difference between accepting contributions from groups linked to Abramoff, which is legal and proper, and taking contributions in exchange for official actions, which is illegal, and which is at the heart of the ongoing investigations."

3. I hope they drown this guy in a bathtub....

So to speak. I hate this rat bastard, may he get EVERYTHING he deserves....

Grover Norquist
President, Americans for Tax Reform




CRONYISM — NORQUIST SEES NOTHING UNETHICAL IN ABRAMOFF’S DEALINGS: “In an interview about Abramoff for National Public Radio a couple months ago, his old friend Norquist said, ‘To this day I can’t find anything he did or he’s accused of doing that’s illegal, immoral, or fattening.’”

COUSHATTA CAMPAIGN — NORQUIST SET UP A MEETING WITH BUSH IN RETURN FOR LARGE DONATIONS: “Abramoff helped get the chief of the Coushatta invited to a meeting with President George W. Bush in early 2001, set up by Grover Norquist, once Abramoff’s executive director at the College Republicans and now Washington’s pre-eminent conservative lobbyist. It was suggested that a donation to Norquist’s think tank, Americans for Tax Reform, might be appreciated. Abramoff pressed the Coushattas. The $25,000 check was sent to ATR.”

[txindy]

9. Fattening? Wow, he's clever.

[XemaSab]

4. Ugly all around

Some of my favorite people are on this list...

[chat_noir]

6. re: Capital Eye list

Too many of both parties - looking for quid pro quo connections

Let's start narrowing down to the Republican suspects. Here's a start:

SEN. CONRAD BURNS
REP. ERIC CANTOR
SEN. JOHN CORNYN
REP. TOM DELAY
REP. JOHN DOOLITTLE
REP. MELISSA HART
REP. DENNIS HASTERT
REP. DOC HASTINGS
REP. J. D. HAYWORTH
REP. ROBERT NEY
REP. RICHARD POMBO
SEN. DAVID VITTER
REP. JERRY WELLER

Who else would you add to the list?

[txindy]

10. Junior.

He doesn't like to be left out, so let's include him. He's buds with Jack since he was gov. of Texas.

[mtnester]

11. Ney is about the dirtiest on this list

he is the ONE they need to squeeze now

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Weller Is Dirty Too

He's my representative. He's a slimy as slime can be. Another silverspooner who thinks the world owes him something.

The Professor

[MagickMuffin]

12. Here's my list

Sen. Randy "Duke-Stir" Cunnington
Rep. Jerry Lewis
Rep. Duncan Hunter
Rep. Roy Blunt

Wives Club:
Christina DeLay's Wife
Doolittle's Wife

[HeeBGBz]

13. Most of MIssouri's pain in the ass officials

Francis Flotron
John Ashcroft

[chat_noir]

14. addition to the list of Republican suspects

REP. MARK GREEN (R-WI)

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/007090.php

Charles Taylor of North Carolina
Todd Tiahrt of Kansas
Dave Camp of Michigan

[undeterred]

15. Rep. J. Dennis Hastert

[Tsiyu]

22. Gawd! He looks like a Vogon!

"Resistance is useless...."

[merbex]

25. Unfortunately, he is the spitting image of my oldest brother -in-law

Whenever he appears on tv I yell out to my husband "Chuckie's on tv"

And whenever Marty Meehan comes on even my husband will tell the kids " Uncle Kevin is on c-span" refering to his brother who is 14 months older than himself

I'm not kidding:all four guys were seperated at birth;that is how close the resemblance is to one another

[AnnInLa]

16. Think Progress has an actual chart

Someone above posted the link, but here it is again:

www.thinkprogress.org/abramoff

The chart is useful to tell who's who in the different "corruption schemes"

[wishlist]

17. That chart doesn't even include the Tyco/Flanagan/Rove WH dealings

Another post tonight jogged my memory about the Abramoff shakedown of Tyco Ltd. for money to lobby Rove to influence legislation in favor of Tyco's offshore tax breaks. Flanagan was Tyco's attorney and the one who brought in Abramoff to Tyco, then Flanagan got nominated by Bush for deputy Atty General but the nomination got withdrawn due to the scandal.

21. Just tell me Pat Roberts, Sam Brownback and todd tihart are on it

and I will be happy

[OKNancy]

26. It's legal to receive political contributions

That list is meaningless. It might be embarrassing, but there has to be more to it than just getting money from him or his PACs. I'm sure there is, but this is no smoking gun or anything close.

[ngGale]

27. IMO, a shady Russian bank is suspect...

NC US Rep. Charles Taylor. Gee whiz, NC is as bad as most - we may turn into another Ohio. :grr:
