1. I'm sure Boehner and Ryan have enjoyed some of the access to the best |

golf courses and bottles of wine and don't think there is anything wrong with being gifted.... Now look at the advantages of other gifters in the business aka the Koch brothers... They fly our elected officials a couple times of year to vacation destinations for the whole family.... Why isn't this being forbidden... What aren't the Koch brothers being investigated...

And continues to be. I know where one of Abramoff's corrupt associates is. Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute, that wrote op-eds favorable to Abramoff for money: http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/dec2005/nf20051216_1037_db016.htmBandow works for Ron Paul now: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?108392-Ron-Paul-Campaign-Announces-Addition-of-New-Policy-AdvisorsAnd, spends his time writing op-eds favorable to the Pauls: http://www.forbes.com/sites/dougbandow/2011/05/30/standing-for-individual-liberty-and-limited-government-ron-and-rand-paul/And people think Ron Paul is Mr. Clean....I highly doubt that if he's working with Abramoff's associates.

4. They went too easy on him. Hardly mention his affiliations. Or his friendship with Bush. |
|
Or that he was head of the college rethuglicans.
There is a documentary on net flix by the name of Casino Jack and the United States of Money.
A much more comprehensive report if you have access.
