"That link doesn't say Abramoff didn't hand money over to Dems. " No, it just lists all of his political contributions. Admittedly, it didn't list any Democrats... "What about Kerri's 100 k he got. He's the check John boy, wink wink it's from injuns." About all I could find about that was the following. Kerry bristled at the suggestion that his presidential campaign accepted more than $100,000 in what Republicans have termed "[Jack] Abramoff-affiliated lobbying firms." Okay, I will take this slowly. Abramoff didn't run any lobbying firm. He was just an employee at several. At those firms, there are other employees. Who had their own clients. To say that just because someone has a cubical in the same building as Jack, doesn't mean that person was associated with him. Considering that those lobbying firms had lobbyists who are Democrats, as well as some who are Republicans, that is probably the case. So Kerry's $100k came from some of the other lobbyists in the firm. But, while we are one the subject of Jack and presidential candidates, what about Smirk? He got way more than $100k from Jack.
