What does anybody know for sure about this? Not much more than Zilch. Until Abramoff talks under oath, probably as part of some plea deal, we know little or nothing about who is implicated. It could be all Republicans, a mixture of Democrats and Republicans, or even mostly Demcrats. Before this happens, who knows?
Besides, this whole hullabaloo now about Abramoff makes me wonder, why now? And why only him? He is one of countless, or at least dozens of examples. There is nothing new here. Virtually every congressman is guilty. If you want to clean it up, lets clean it up, but I am willing to wager that the press won't take an objective look at whats been going on for a long long time.

I posted the above, but one could google the subject for hours and bury you all with mountains of information about political favors, trips, you name it.
Furthermore, what about all these huge organizations, I will point one out as a glaring example, the National Education Organization, supposedly to represent teachers regardless of politics, and it receives all kinds of special tax status because of it. Guess what. You guessed it. The NEA is so glaringly partisan, it is unbelievable. They have a virtually 100% liberal Democrat agenda. Does it represent its members in a balanced way? The answer is obviously not. I think that indicates a mountain of corruption. How do they get away with it? And they will continue to do so because the press does not care and the Democrats don't care. If a Republican raises a stink, he would be labeled a right-wing extremist that hates all children, and would be hung in the press, and hounded and investigated until they found some tiny thing in his past.
If you think I'm fed up with liberal Democrats, you are correct.
