Could someone give me background on CapitalEye.org?

I just received what a friend is telling me is a "better list of Abramoff donations" than the ThinkProgress list because it isn't "partisan." I need an informed response. I've never heard of the site.

1. I don't know the site, but re-sort the list for your friend

using "Detail by Recipient - Donor Order"

The LEGAL donations by the Tribes to both Dems and repukes are not in question - it's Abramoff's personal donations that are.

Notice after you re-sort the list that there is not ONE single Abramoff donation to a Democrat. All repukes.
