Some Thoughts on Jack Abramoff

A leading conservative Republican tells the whole story.

(Page 4 of 4)

Think about this. What if Jack Abramoff had resisted all the temptations spread before him? What if he had decided to work only for clients and causes in accord with his previously long-held conservative principles?

Would he have made as much money as rapidly? Probably not.

On the other hand, had Jack stuck to his principles, he would certainly have achieved some financial success. He would have kept his sterling reputation. He would not now be headed to jail. And he would not have brought scandal to his friends or disaster to his family.
