New I don't think so
What kind of favors did he need from Democrats? They didn't have the power to get things done, the Republicans did. If they could have done anything for him I'm sure there would have been lots of them feeding at his trough but realistically, the Republicans had what he needed.

New Indian Casinos make strange bedfellows, dont be surprised

New According to his records
Abramoff didn't give a cent to any Democrats.

That being said, one of his clients, an Indian casino, gave money to Harry Reid. But seeing as how he's a senator from Nevada, that's not as shocking as the GOOPers would have the sheeple believe.

I don't normally comment in the Politics forum, but this particular meme really ticks me off. Even if corruption were equally divided between Dems and Repubs (and the overwhelming evidence indicates the preponderance of slime is on the right), trying to excuse your own behavior by pointing to someone else doing something remotely similar is an excuse that should have been left back in kindergarten where it belongs.

New Rep Adam Smith on NPR affiliate said...
something along the lines of "If a Democrat gets fingered, so be it. They shouldn't be in office if they've done something wrong," in response to Republican criticism about the Abramoff investigation.

It's refreshing to hear that kind of thought.
When somebody asks you to trade your freedom for security, it isn't your security they're talking about.
