Most Senate Dems Took Abramoff Cash

For over a month now the media has been trying to portray the Abramoff lobbying scandal as primarily a Republican Party problem. Well according to a list released today by the Republican National Committee nearly 90% of Senate Democrats took money linked to disgraced ”Republican" lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

If this information is accurate the media is going to have a real hard time ignoring this scandal. Especially when 2008 Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton took more than $12,000 in tainted cash.

Of course she doesn’t even come close to the party's 2004 standard bearer, John Kerry, who raked in nearly $100,000 in Abramoff-linked donations.
