This Statement Is False
"Forty of forty five members of the Democrat Senate Caucus took money from Jack Abramoff. Below is a breakdown of how much each Democrat Senator received."
That's courtesy of the NRSC.
But it's not true.
Abramoff has never personally given money to a single Dem. All his personal and family contributions went to Republicans.
Yes -- many of his clients contributed regularly to Dems and GOpers. And maybe some of those donations influenced the actions of elected officials. But if the question is: was Jack Abramoff a Republican? was he committed to furthering the GOP agenda? The answer, clearly, is: yes. [MARC AMBINDER]
