@gungasnake,
Quote:The press cast three bad Congressmen and a single scamming lobbyist as representative of an entire Party gone bad
Interesting that you would post this on the day after this headline ran
Ex-Bush Aide Convicted In Abramoff Scandal
To somehow try to relate the total involved in scandals as 3 congressmen and one lobbyist is dishonest. 3 Congressmen were convicted but so were a lot of other people not counting those indicted or under investigation.
These are those found guilty in just the Abramoff scandal. Almost half of them are staff members of Republican congressmen
Plead guilty
Jack Abramoff
John Albaugh - staff
Jared Carpenter
Robert Coughlin
Italia Federici
J. Steven Griles
William Heaton - staff
Adam Kidan
Bob Ney
Tony Rudy - staff
Michael Scanlon - staff
Roger Stillwell
Neil Volz - staff
Mark Zachares - staff
Convicted
David Safavian - Bush Aide
Here is an extensive list of those indicted, convicted or under investigation. It is non partisan and includes Democrats.
