Repugs on the defensive - good luck, morans!

NRSC plans multi-state attack tying Democrats to Abramoff
By Peter Savodnik

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is planning a public-relations offensive tying leading Democrats to lobbyist Jack Abramoff in an effort to neutralize accusations that Republicans have been embroiled in a “culture of corruption.”

The campaign will zero in on Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.); Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin, both Michigan Democrats; and the Democratic Senatorial Committee (DSCC), among others, for taking money from Abramoff’s former clients.

Stabenow is up for reelection next year; Reid and Levin are not.(HA ha) With the entry of Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard (R) into the Senate race in Michigan, many leading Republicans believe they have a reasonable chance of unseating the first-term senator.

Republicans have spent months trying to blunt Democratic ethics charges. But the new communications blitz — which will include disseminating talking points to Capitol Hill Republicans and flooding local media with information linking Democrats to Abramoff — marks a more coordinated effort to halt the anti-GOP tide.

Good luck, repugs. You are all going down - why struggle? It only makes us laugh harder...

sheriff in Michigan. I think that would be very helpful.

2. Weren't the allegations against Reid & Stabenow debunked on Kos?
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 08:07 PM by Ignacio Upton
I know that the Dorgan allegations were. Any connection that a Democratic politician may have had with Abramoff is minimal and not intricately involved with Abramoff's excesses. This reminds me of how all the Repug talking-heads were out in 2001-2002 in the midst of the Enron scandal telling people that because Democrats received contributions (only a SMALL FRACTION of what the Republicans received, and none of them had the intimate relationship with Lay that Bush and Ahhhhhnold did.) that they had no credibility on the issue. Unforunately back then the Democratic talking-heads bows to right-wing bullshit and stopped raising the issue.
