3. Everyone call , email in to the TV stations and radio and complain

because the networks are spinning that Democrats are involved

11. There could be some Dems. involved.

My posting shows Abramaoff's PERSONAL contributions to different members of Congress. Ironically, all of them Repugs.

4. You mean the Republican Abramoff Scandal?

6. Oddly this is in the Washington Post

Tells a slightly different story that I don't know what to make of it.

7. The list I posted was $ given by Abramoff PERSONALLY.

The Washington Post one includes his clients' contributions to lawmakers. Some of those were Dems, most of whom I think have already given it all back.

8. That chart is misleading by lumping in contribs made directly from tribes

Unfortunately the news source that came up with the chart did not differentiate between contributions directly controlled by and from Abramoff and contributions from the tribal lobbies to certain politicians such as Patrick Kennedy who has a long relationship with tribes and a long history of supporting interests of the tribal gaming and no connection to Abramoff.

9. Aren't these all "legal" donations, though?

The question is the under-the-table bribes, golf trips to Scotland, sky-box superbowl tickets, etc.
Are there any Dems at risk from that angle?

That said, your chart is valuable because it empirically demonstrates that Jack was a Repuke supporter through-and-through.

10. They are "legal" as far as I can tell.

But the fact he only gave to REPUGS shows which party has his alleginace.
