There are ZERO Democrats who took Abramoff money...

Then why the following (which I posted earlier)??? The source for it was the Associated Press.

Monies "returned" yesterday, January 4:

Senate Democrats:

-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., $2,000 to charity.
-Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., $8,250 to Billy Mills Running Strong for American Indian Youth.
-Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., $5,000, to the American Indian College Fund.

House Democrats:

-Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, $500 to be returned to the Tigua tribe of El Paso.
-Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., $1,000 to be returned to the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe.
-Rep. Lane Evans, D-Ill., $2,000 to Community Caring Conference.
-Rep. Tim Holden, D-Pa., $1,000 to an animal shelter.
-Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., $2,000 to be refunded.
-Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., $6,950 to be refunded.

At various times in 2005, as the story was breaking:

-Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., $18,892 to seven tribal colleges.
-Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., $3,750 to North Dakota's tribal colleges.
-Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., $67,000 refunded.

Not as much money as the Republicans, true. But I don't consider any of these amounts to be "chump change."

And no, I'm not picking specifically on the Democrats. I think that in the long run it's not going to matter WHICH party -- both are tarred with the same brush.

As I said in another thread, "A plague on BOTH their houses."
