None of the ILLEGAL donations went to Dems. None.

1. The Indian tribes were bilked for millions by Abramoff.

THEY are the ones who gave money to the Democrats, as they always have. All were LEGAL campaign contributions.

The real crime is the money you don't see changing hands between Abramoff and other repub scum. It's all under the table. Hence the tax evasion charges. The money trail isn't the one listed in federal records of campaign contributions. It's the money you can't see. It's the fake charities and other scams Abramoff ran with Scanlon. BugBoy's in this up to his beady little eyeballs, too.

NGU, right back at ya!

3. Interesting Chart below shows none of Abramoff personal funds went to Dems

4. See?

5. Doing the math, you see an 80-20 split in total funds.

100-0 split in Abramoff funds.

That's $806,310 to Republicans and $204,480 to Democrats in total Abramoff-related funds. No personal funding for Democrats from Abramoff.

And yet, this is a bipartisan scandal.

7. Why do you say "Abramoff-related funds?"

Do you file a "Abramoff-related tax return?"

8. If Abramoff is my accountant, maybe.

"In fact, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (here and here), only Republicans received contributions directly from Abramoff."

"Appearing on the December 16 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Kornblut falsely claimed that Abramoff had given contributions to Democrats. Yet a Media Matters for America search of the Center for Responsive Politics database of campaign contributions did not find any contributions from Abramoff to Democrats or Democratic leadership political action committees.

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.

A November 25 Washington Post article identified four lawmakers under investigation in connection to Abramoff -- former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT), Rep. Rob Ney (R-OH), and Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA) -- all Republicans."
