  •  Which is Exactly why we need to stick to the (none / 0)

    talking point that No Democrat Took One Cent From Abramoff...repeat after me, NONE, ZERO, ZIP, NADA...

    And when they bring out the Abramoff Clients Straw man, we can rightly say that while the clients that Abramoff ripped off had alway given Legal Contributions to Democrats, he direced them to give More money to Republicans on his crooked watch.

    •  That'e true, but beside the point. (none / 0)

      My point was really that there's way too much corporate money in federal politics. Most of it has nothing to do with Abramoff. Yes, it's important to Jackhammer Jack's Repub pals, but I'm guessing that most voters will chalk Abramoff up as just one more episode among many others, together comprising a Congressional "culture of corruption."

      I hope I'm wrong about that come November.

      •  The point needs to be made about reform (none / 0)

        There is overall campaign finance reform, and then there is the issue of a man convicted of campaign finance violations giving money to ONLY Republicans.

        I have not had ANY trouble with people understanding this issue when I have framed it this way.

        ...but not your own facts.

      •  I am totally with you on this one (none / 0)

        and support 100% publicly financed campaigns, but since the bills on this being proposed by Democrats can't find there way out of committee until we control the committees, I am focused on doing what we can to win now...which means whenever possible, helping Joe Sixpack understand in Simple terms that republican's couldn't care less about him and his family, and it is time for a change.
