Topic: Newsmax
A Feb. 17 NewsMax article regurgitates a Washington Times article claiming that "Democrats have taken nearly 10 percent more in campaign contributions from lobbyists than Republicans since 1990," claiming that this "deflates Democratic claims that Republicans have created a 'culture of corruption' in Congress."
Actually, this claim deflates nothing. Unless NewsMax and the WashTimes can demonstrate that lobbyist money given to Democrats in 1990 was as tainted with quid pro quo as Jack Abramoff's donations to Republicans, this statistic is irrelevant and meaningless.
