Audacity of Truth
Abramoff pleads guilty
Just who will he take down with him? The usual suspects are foaming at the mouth that it will be Tom DeLay, but assuming that happens, he wouldn’t and shouldn’t be the only one. This chart breaks down how Abramoff spread the ‘wealth.’
Make the guilty pay. But ALL of them.
Michelle Malkin has some words of wisdom for Republicans on this one and a nice link round up.

Jack. Poster boy of the reagan revolution republican youth. I’m sure he saved up the best stuff for his old boys.
And what a piece of scum he was. Working not only against his clients but also for sweatshop operators hoping to avoid US labor rights — but still get to put “made in USA labes” on their clothes. sheesh.
This is sad. This guy, among other things, funded a sniper school for Israelis in the occupied territories, hired New York hitmen to kill a partner in Florida,corrupted the Christian Coalition and Ralph Reed, paid editorial writers to author propaganda pieces,used Grover Norquist as an enforcer, and bribed dozens of Congressmen and their staffs. Greed, corruption and cronyism are the hallmark of today’s Republican Party. Peace
Steve apparently didn’t look at the chart.
Hope he takes Harry Reid with him. Remember, Reid accepted tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from the Coushetta Indian tribe — a client of Abramoff’s.
Hells Bells there be some pretty big named Dems on that there chart. It is a terrible hallmark that the corruption and cronyism continues in the Dem party. Ohhh Yea and I looked at the chart. Shoot Harry Reid just lied on Fox News Sunday with his “I have NEVER taken money from Abramhoff” Somehow he is on the chart. Someone must be lying. It must be the republican board on the Washington Post. LOL
Whaddya thing there Steve?? – Lorica
He doesn’t “think”. He can only “feel”.
- But…..but…..Hes a Liberal… elite and self moral based…. this can’t be… it must be Roves doing again. We better go to four layers on the tin hats… Heh
- For those who missed the interview theres a partial transcript here….
- Off topic while you’re there you can catch another peice by one of the NYT’s own Editors whining loudly about the stonewalling of the NYT execs in answering any questions about the wiretap leaks and background here…
- All in all, 2006 is starting on another good note for the Dimbulbs. BTW, for all the koolaide drinkers out there, you might want to ease up on the Plame scam a bit. Libbys indictment and demand for a jury trial means that Wilson may end up on the stand under oath. Now theres something I’d make popcorn for while I watched…
…. Bon Appitite’
- Bang
I don’t care if this takes down Republicans or Democrats as long as it takes down corrupt politicians.
I notice first words from steve was a slam at Israel. Steve you are a bigot.
I want to see the big hypocrite Dems taken down. Now, when will these Dems be forced to step aside as DeLay has? Oh, I forgot, Dems are hypocrites that don’t do as they say.
I think the right is going to take a bigger hit on this scandal than the left. The only reason I think this is so is because they’re the ones in charge of congress for the next 11 months. And hopefully only 11 more months. Keeeping the fingers crossed.
Tommy, take off your Clinton Rose (Law Firm) colored glasses. Harry Reid, among other big mouthed hypocrites are caught. Holier than thou Reid losing his seat is going to hurt Democrats big time.
The MSM has hyped this as a GOP scandal. Tommy what do you think voters are going to think when their Democrat goes to jail? They are going to be shocked and maybe start seeing the MSM and Democrats as pathological liars.
I…have…NEVER…taken…money…from …that man
-Harry Reid
I…have…never…had…sex…with…that…woman
-Slick Willie
Well this is bad news for all politicans who did business with this crook. It really is more of a scandal for the party in charge. They’re in charge that’s why. Besides everyone knows the G.O.P. is in bed with big business that’s why in my view the right will be hurt more by this scandal then the left.
Tommy, there is nothing more galling than a reformed hooker. The CORRUPT DEMOCRAT PARTY has alway been caught taking money they shouldn’t and legislating favors. It is old news, but news since they are carping about corruption.
Speaking about corrupt politicians, why are you so silent about Chuckie Schumer? If you are so for clean government, Chuckie has to go for his condoning and supporting criminals on his own staff who also work for the National Democrat Senate Campaign Committee.
PCD – your Right I should have said Zionist. Big Bang Hunter – I’d like to see him on the stand as well, Right after Rove. Reed voted for the war and if he’s corrupt he should be in jail like Cunningham. Abramhoff was a Republican and a sleeeeze ball. Do I believe that all Republicans are sleeeeze balls? No, only the ones who support bush and all of his corruption and greed. If your not in that group, God loves ya. Peace
Steve, God loves everyone. That is why he sent his only son to die in atonement for our sins.
God is not a Communist or an Israel hater. I think you need to do some examination of your knee jerk positions that you have posted here.
PCD how do you know that 1) There is a God 2)That God has only one son? and 3) Since you have no concrete evidence to support anything that disproves my points 1+2 maybe you shouldn’t make such reckless and possibly inaccurate statements.
tommy, thank you for showing us once again how closed your mind is.
1. There is a God. We would not be here.
2. You are around to be wrong, doubt his existance, and live.
3. I suppose you are like that militant Athiest in Italy that is suing a Priest for Preaching that God and Jesus exist.
Here’s that story: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0%2C%2C13509-1967413%2C00.html
Again, tommy, we see what makes you tick and are so thick when it come to our facts vs. your stream of baseless accusations.
Oh, Tommy, it appears that Hillary took almost $13K and Chuckie Schumer took almost $30K. Uh, where is you condemnation of them and your call to reomve them from office?? We are seeing if you are a blind partisan hack or if you have some principles operating.
If you could prove there is a God it would be scientific to teach Intelligent Design. Most of you lack faith. The faith that Christ was correct and Peace is possible. Since I believe that, am I a Chriatian and you a poser? Peace
PCD I’m not the one with a closed mind youse are. You have no offered no proof whatsoever to prove there is higher creator other than the tired old statement that since we living on the planet earth there MUST be a higher form of life. That’s called faith not proof. The campaign contributations everybody got from Abramonoff will be returned by all politicans. Nobody wants to be associated with a crook on either side of the aisle. This crook is a registered republican so one would guess the G.O.P. has done more dealings with this crook then the Dems. That is just an assumption however. One day most americans will get fed up with the corruption of our current political system and that’s something all of us on both sides can agree on.
tommy, you don’t even bother to offer anything, further proving your closed mind.
Actually the Gospels are their own proof. You see there are original transcripts have been proven to have been created in the 1st century. These same transcripts are eye witness testimony of the events that took place. So unless you were around in the early half of the 1st century you don’t have a right to place doubt on the original text Tommy. That would be the same as saying that the Constitution of the United States is a fake. That our founding Fathers didn’t exist. If you take the Gospels as only a historical document then you have more reference that Jesus existed than Ceasar Augustus. To place doubt here and now on the authenticity of documents that have been proven to be almost 2000 years old due to translations differences is illogical at best and ignorant at worst. Can you disprove the Gospels Tommy?? If so I would love to hear how. And since you can’t, then you cannot disprove God, which is not a matter of faith it is a matter of eye witness testimony. – Lorica
Like the ACLU, if God didn’t exist then we you have to make God up. Otherwise some mortal would claim to be God and make us all his/her subjects. That is what the ACLU is trying to prevent a lunitic dictator. Peace
I agree. It’s bad for all Washington politicians, but the Republicans are going to take the brunt of the blows. Still, if they take bribes, I certainly don’t want them representing me or my party.
steve, the ACLU is trying to bring about a Comunistic society, and to do that requires a Communist dictator, but you like that since you are an admitted Communist activist.
PCD the ACLU is not looking to bring in a commie dictator they’re just not friendly to organized religious groups IMHO. They also get carried away with their civil-liberties argument. While what I just mentioned is true for example they are standing up to the right and the American Legion on issues like flag-burning. Would I ever do it Hell no but if you burn paper in effigy cloth is an inanimate object also. I realize that this subject is very sensitive but it’s just one example of what this organization does. I don’t send them checks but it is necessary organization.
Tommy wrote, “They’re in charge that’s why.
Way to be a witchhunter. I see your flawed reasoning now. Due to your reasoning I’m now mad at Republicans because of the natural disaster’s this year, the terrorist attack in 2001 that caused an even further downturn in the economy that Bush inherited due to the Y2K overspending, the company accounting scandals that came to light in 2001, the North Korea problem that was EVIDENT in 2001, …. ah I give up.
One thing that liberals don’t learn is perspective and personal responsibility. 1) Anyone who is corrupt or criminal should be held responsible – nobody else
2) The only thing people can control is their own actions and words (not the actions and words of criminals, terrorists, North Koreans, corrupt corporate folks, etc.
The only thing that Tommy does with his arguments is show newbie political people the extent that he is extreme and liberals in general (to the extent that he is echoed) are extreme. It’ll only keep Republicans in power as long as the people RESPONSIBLE are held accountable.
/getting off soapbox
I don’t remember who said it, but someone in the 1930s was quoted with something that went like, “Where they are now burning books, they will soon be burning bodies.”. Books, paper, Flags, inanimate objects all. The ACLU would of defended a Nazi’s right to kill Jews IMHO. – Lorica
” the ACLU is trying to bring about a Comunistic society”
winguttia, revealed.
Nice. Let’s resort to calling names Andrew… Andrew is an extremist Socialist big government type.
oooh. that got us somewhere.
/end sarcasm
Andrew, here are ACLU Founder Roger Baldwin’s own words:
http://volokh.com/posts/1126138099.shtml
You can google “ACLU Founder” and find many more quotes.
Andrew, bluster and denial only win you points in the Democrat Caucus, not among rational people.
andrew, MensaBarbie has more on ACLU:Communist Origins.
http:\\mensa-barbie.blogspot.com
andrew, it is time to be honest. You don’t care how anti-american the ACLU is, do you?
That’s just wingnuttia PCD.
/end channeling of liberal substance criticism
Baklava, there is no such thing as liberal substance. All you see are baseless charges or charges based on whacked out definitions to make their case. If it weren’t for screwballs like the 9th Circuit, they’d be laughed out of the country.
That was sarcasm at its finest..
Bak, sarcasm is that the National Democrats are patriotic, honest, and clean living. THAT’S SARCASM!
NOOOOOO BAK!!!! *Looks for Holy Water, Looks for Holy Water* WE can exorsize(sp?) this from your body. Call Linda Blair WE NEED HELP NOW!!! *Unloads a bucket of cold water on Bak* EVERYONE pray Fast Bak Needs us!! – Lorica
‘You can google “ACLU Founder” and find many more quotes. ‘
is that what the ACLU is today? Is that guy even alive?
Andrew, that is the ACLU today.
“Andrew, that is the ACLU today.”
Right. establish communism by opposing domestic spying. Sounds like a plan!
andrew, your logic is lacking. You can’t refute what the ACLU founders have said they set up the ACLU to do. Can you focus on that?
“You can’t refute what the ACLU founders have said they set up the ACLU to do.”
I refute it by saying that what the ACLU does now is incompatible with that.
Andrew, as usual, you haven’t read a word of the links. You can’t see because you agree with making the US a Communist country. The Communist countries have proven they have less rights and civil liberties than the US.
I suppose you thought it was OK for the Chinese Communists to contribute to Clinton’s campaigns.
“Andrew, as usual, you haven’t read a word of the links.”
I know the founder of the ACLU advocated for communism. I also know that what the ACLU does today is incompatible with making a soviet communism.
“I suppose you thought it was OK for the Chinese Communists to contribute to Clinton’s campaigns.”
I think anyone that does business with those guys is aiding barbarism and tyranny.
