I didn't read this as a "everybody does it" type of article. The dems have been trying to paint the picture that it's only the repubs who have taken this money - when in reality, practically everybody in congress took the money.

What I read from the article is that while the dems complain it's just repubs .. it's not just repubs, and the dems need to clean their own house before throwing darts at the repubs.

No, unlike the usual suspects who are always looking for an excuse to shoot at their own side, they are "fighting back" against the DNC PR Campaign. Amazing how the usual crowd whines about "Republicans need to fight back" NOW complain because they ARE fighting back!!

Funny how the whiners never give credit to the Bush Department of Justice who, by going after Abramoff, busted open this scandal.

You're misreading the statistics cited. 1/3 of the TOP (meaning in total dollars "donated") went to Dems. But 90+% of senate Dems took some money from him. That means MOST Dems are dirty in this issue--contrary to their disingenuous claims of innocence to the contrary.
