No Democrats were offered Abramoff's money. He was a Republican lobbyist and wouldn't "waste" his money on Democrats.
I hate articles like this that hint at wrongdoing with no proof! I agree with you that it's lazy journalism. But I've learned that most journalists are lazy and are willing to have a story handed to them without needing to do any research.
Some of Jack's clients donated to Democrats but the big difference is that they did it legally and without the quid pro quo Abramoff always asked for when he donated. And, you're right, these donations have been decreasing.
No story...
