Are you saying that Abranoff didn't contribute to Democrats? Because that is certainly incorrect.

Peach - yes I am saying, explicitly, that Abramoff himself did not contribute a penny to Democrats. It makes for a nice talking point to say that "Abramoff and/or his clients gave money to Democrats," but it was only the latter. And, since we are talking about Indian tribes, Jack Abramoff isn't necessary for an Indian tribe in, say, Nevada or North Dakota to give money to a Senate campaign.

If you've can point to any proof that Abramoff gave money to Dims, I'd like to see it. Every listing I've seen of his own contributions has none. Not one.

Oh, since you have said my statement is 'certainly incorrect,' perhaps you should go to the FEC site and look at Jack's contributions. Please come back here and state the Dims you find on his contribution list. See if you can find one.

Also, since the allegations against Jack seem to be about giving money for favors, can you cite to a single instance of Jack taking Dims on golfing trips to Scotland, or hiring their staffers for lucrative jobs, or giving them expensive event tickets, etc.? Just one?
