17. One of the arguments that I've heard is that...

While Abramoff didn't donate to Democrats, other members of his lobbying firm Preston Gates & Ellis and Greenberg Traurig did. If the "culture of corruption" exists in the republican party, why is it unreasonable to believe that it also existed within this lobbying from and that similarly nefarious donations came from others in this lobbying firm to democrats?

While I don't think it is unreasonable to believe that this is possible, as far as I can tell, no other person in the firm has been indicted or is even being investigated for similar donations to democrats.
