Not a single Dem took Abramoff money
NO DEMS FRAKKING TOOK A DIME FROM JACK ABRAMOFF AT ALL!
Howard Dean has to straighten Wolf Blitzer out that he was misinformed by NRSC and RNC.
BLITZER: Should Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, who has now pleaded guilty to bribery charges, among other charges, a Republican lobbyist in Washington, should the Democrat who took money from him give that money to charity or give it back?DEAN: There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money. And we've looked through all of those FEC reports to make sure that's true.
This was on CNN Late Edition this morning; here's transcript;

Note that Wolf had a big sigh in video before finishing the talk with Dean.
I agree with what Dean said. It's true that NO Dems took a frakking dime from Jack! I know Koko would say they did but not directly from Jack or his agents. Those Indian tribes are NOT Abramoff's agents! get it!
Some one has done the research on FEC on Abramoff and Dems. It turns out NONE of those Dems that which Kokonut (AKA qwerty from DOL which he no longer post but probably lurks and he has a blog with a entry on accusing Dems of taking $$ from Jack at: http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2006/01/when-democrats-ride-same-sinking-boat.html ) believes that those Dems he listed did actually took money from Jack Abramoff directly or indirectly while it is not true. This link; http://www.democrats.com/node/7324 will tell you that NONE of those Dems took any. and that link has links (Political Money Line and Newsmeat) where you can see for yourself.
In Kokonut's blog entry, two of those links goes to NRSC which is a republican website! And those two NRSC links that details out those but he didn't use outside links like democrats.com did list two outside that track $$ of all parties. which one do you believe?
There's more that Abramoff didn't give any to Dems:...

Now tell me why would Abramoff or Repbublicans wants to give $$ to Democrats since Jack Abramoff is himself a republican which is a staunch supporter of Republicans and Republican party big time. This has made K-Street Lobbyists bigger since 1995 that's why Culture of Corruption has gotten bigger now! (so Nancy Pelosi is right!)
Thanks to Daily Kos; http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/1/8/215630/2516 for inspiring me to make this post.
