I LOVE this statement by Abercrombie. This is EXACTLY what all Dems

[in_cog_ni_to]

should be saying if they received a contribution from a Tribe. I'm just glad SOMEONE is saying SOMETHING!



This article title SUCKS. Inouye and Abercrombie both received donations from THE TRIBE. The Article title insinuates something else. Abercrombie said it well. IMCPO

<snip>
Abercrombie said he will not return his donation from Abramoff's Indian tribe client because that would imply the tribe was guilty of wrongdoing when it's Abramoff who cheated them.<snip>


Here's the article title:
"Inouye, Abercrombie Received Lobbyist Abramoff-Tied Donations" :grr:

Here's a link if you would like to read the whole thing.

1. OMFG !! That is perfect !

Abercrombie said he will not return his donation from Abramoff's Indian tribe client because that would imply the tribe was guilty of wrongdoing when it's Abramoff who cheated them.

Had to repeat it, its THAT good.
:D

6. LOL....I hear ya.

It's a GREAT quote. It's about time someone said something.

9. In other words, the donations Dems took were legal.

The ILLEGAL money all went to Republicons.

NGU.

11. That's exactly right, but the media shills are trying

their best to involve Democrats. It's disgusting what they're doing. They know there's a difference between getting a donation from Abramoff and getting one from one of the tribe clients.

12. It ticked me off today that Carper ended up donating his money

plus some. He donated to a good cause (Boys' and Girls' club), but just yesterday he said he wasn't going to because there was a big difference between money that Abramoff pushed your way vs. the money the tribes donated to congressmen.

14. Call him and let him know how to frame this!

"The money I accepted was legal - all the ILLEGAL donations went to Republicons."

NGU.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Good idea!

He should not have returned the $$$$$. NONE of them should if it came from the Tribes and if it didn't influence any votes.

2. I've been waiting for someone to say it. Nice job Neil.

B-):thumbsup:

3. EXCELLENT! We needed this post - Thank you!

[Beetwasher]

4. Yup, He Nailed it, PERFECT Frame!

Great find, thanks! :thumbsup:

[KamaAina]

5. Yeah! That's my rep!

One of the most inspiring political speakers around as well.

Wonder why two of our guys are getting called out here? Is this part of the ongoing evil repuke plot to turn us Red? (They even sent Cheney all the way out here in '04, on Hallowe'en no less!!)

7. You're so LUCKY! I LOVE Abercrombie and I'm stuck

with the evil bastard Jerry Weller who married the daughter of Guatemala's most BRUTAL dictator and SHE ran her dad's "affairs." Weller married THAT.:eyes:

[displacedtexan]

8. Oh, Hell Yes!

It's about damned time!

Repukes would love to taint Indian money, just like
they've tried to taint union money, trial attorney money,
and teachers' money.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Yes

They need to inforce this. They did not get money from Abramoff. Abramoff hated democrats and wanted to kill us.

[jsamuel]

13. Perfect!

[robbedvoter]

16. Bingo! The Whitewater logic: Clintons guilty of losing money in a

deal made by a con. And it's a talking point now - Hannity, Rush - it's Dems only who Abramoff gave money to.

17. Hawaii's Abercrombie is a scrapper. He'll fight you tooth and nail.
