Not long ago, President Bush made the statement that Jack Abramoff was an equal money dispenser to both the Republican and Democratic parties, a boldfaced lie which has now been exposed.
According to Federal records, between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff gave $127,000 to Republicans, and not a penny to Democrats. A few Democrats did receive a little money from some of the Indian tribes which were also paying Abramoff, but that is a far cry from the preposterous statement Bush made. What the Democrats did to get the relatively small contributions from the Indian tribes is another story in itself. However, only Republicans profited from the Jack Abramoff slush fund money.
