So the Abramoff Scandal is bipartisan after all--whoops!
Many liberal apologists for the Democratic Party have been incensed over any characterization of the Abramoff scandal was bipartisan in nature. But today, we learn that none other than Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has himself had close ties with Abramoff.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone on the Left who has objected to the corporatism of the governing duopoly. The Democrats have routinely shown willingness to maintain close times to corporate and corporate lobbying interests for years. This is nothing new.
This latest piece of news only confirms, once again, the need for a mass left wing third party alternative to the corporate duopoly that governs the US.

I'm going to scream myself hoarse if one more Democrat die-hard loftily informs me that it's just not fair to "make" the Abramoff scandal "bipartisan."
The gist of their arguments seem to be that a) The Demos got less money than the Reps., b) They didn't get it directly from Abramoff, but only from his subordinates/associates and thus couldn't have known what a tewwible man he is, and finally c) The way they received the money wasn't really illegal, so that makes it okay.
The same people who nearly frothed blood over Nader having a few Republican petition gatherers and donors can actually say this shit with a straight face. If I roll my eyes one more time, I swear they're gonna' stay stuck on backwards... --alsis39.5
