"Nearly ninety percent of Senate Democrats took money linked to disgraced "Republican" lobbyist Jack Abramoff"

Define "linked". Some of those cases mentioned were from lobbyist who worked with Abramoff. Others were from Abramoff clients who were giving money to those Democrats well before they hired Abramoff.

Heck, given that kind of track record, some of that money is probably from people who ate in Abramoff's "Signatures".

Abramoff never gave any of his own money to Deomcrats. He never did any fundraising with that money going to Democrats. In the cases where his clients gave to a Democrats, it was always the case that they gave money to that individual before Abramoff was hired by them.

Given the scandal, it is no surprise that the RNC put together this "Abramoff linked cash" piece of propaganda. To someone with minimally functional brain cells, the fact they never detailed what the Abramoff link is, should have set off alarms. That is a set that clearly doesn't include you.
