Modern Conservative Movement Values

Cafe Politico:

"The Abramoff case is instructive not just as a tale of the rise and fall of a corrupt lobbyist, but as a case study of the modern conservative political movement.

While the mainstream media are busy questioning the wisdom of the Democrats trying to appeal to their liberal base, and pretending that the Abramoff scandal has nothing to do with the GOP in general, they ignore the fact that the Abramoff scandal is about more than just Jack Abramoff- it�s about the conservative culture in Washington. And it�s damning.

If you read beyond the headlines, you will see many familiar names- Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist, Tom Delay, Michael Scanlon, Diebold, Bob Ney etc. And of course, Karl Rove and George Bush.

Rolling Stone has an excellent and in-depth article about the conservative culture that allowed Abramoff to thrive and about those around him who serve at the highest levels of our government, including the Oval Office. It's a story the mainstream media has ignored."
