Clarification

Between 2001 and 2004 Jack Abromhoff never made a personal contribution to a Democrat. All his personal and family contributions went to Republicans.

Bloomberg:
"Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff gave more than $127,000 to Republican candidates and committees and nothing to Democrats, federal records show. At the same time, his Indian clients were the only ones among the top 10 tribal donors in the U.S. to donate more money to Republicans than Democrats."

It's true (as some of you have rushed to point out) that Abramoff's clients and lobbyists gave money to both sides, however Republicans did three times as well; moreover, the man himself was a Republican - a former chairman of the College Republicans, in fact, who famously said: "It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently."

Already sloppy bloggers and sloppy MSM reporters are saying that this is a scandal that involves both parties. They're the same people who fooled you into thinking Iraq was behind 9/11. Don't buy it.
