Abramoff was a criminal lobbyist who funnelled millions of dollars to mostly Republican congressman and apparently to this Republican White House also. In return they sponsored and passed laws that favored his special interest clients. He is now serving 6 years in jail.

Shirass's statement is just another Republican lie or distortion to deflect from tomorrow's news that Abramhoff spread his favors around the White House also..

"According to ABC World News with Charles Gibson, a new Congressional report to be released tomorrow will show that convicted Republican super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff had much more access to the Bush White House than previously disclosed by the Bush Administration. ABC News reports that Abramoff may have had up to 450 contacts with White House officials, including nine with Bush confidante Karl Rove."

The republicans received money directly from Abramoff. The democrats nothing. That's according to FEC records. some democrats received money from Abramoff's clients, which is something the democratic party has never denied. It's a non issue because those monies were not illegal. The monies directly from Abramoff were.

When the News Medai found out how many Democrats were involved with Abramoff, they went quiet about the issue.
It's okay for Democrats to be corrupt.

No it doesn't, I say put all the criminals in jail. You go people in jail with life sentences for having a bad drug habit, and a willingness to steal to support. So we should put the politicians that are robbing us in jail immediately.
