Rush, yesterday, or actually I think it was Tuesday where you indicated that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/\/home\/eibessential\/cfr_scandal.member.html\">McCain-Feingold<\/a> actually indirectly created the likes of Jack Abramoff and its my contention it is absolutely is responsible for creating him because it was my recollection &#8212; you might need to give me a history lesson here &#8212; that McCain-Feingold expressly exempted Indian tribes from the constraints of the legislation, and that was done strictly because of the demands by Dorgan and Daschle and McCain and other senators.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/indian_tribes_exempt_from_mccain_feingold.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"216\" height=\"285\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> RUSH: I would have to look that up. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised, though, and the larger issue&#8230; You know what\u2019s funny? There\u2019s a Washington Post column by left-wing sycophant Richard Cohen, and he just waxing eloquent! He\u2019s just singing the praises of John McCain and Feingold. Why, if it weren\u2019t for McCain and Feingold, we\u2019d have never caught this rat, Abramoff. Why, if it weren\u2019t for McCain and Feingold, this Abramoff guy would still be getting away with the bloody murder he\u2019s been getting away with! The truth of the matter is, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that campaign finance reform changed the way that you can donate money. You just couldn\u2019t give it to the people you wanted to give it to. You had to find circuitous ways around it. It gave rise to people like Abramoff who could figure out ways to get money to members of Congress that could not alternately get there after campaign finance reform. If Indian tribes were <emphasize>exempt <\/emphasize>from campaign finance reform&#8230;<\/line><BR\/>We\u2019re checking on that right now, but if that\u2019s true (laughing) then the symbiotic relationship between Abramoff and the campaign finance reformers is going to be profound. (interruption) Okay, they\u2019re not exempt from McCain-Feingold. They\u2019re not exempt from McCain-Feingold, but they are exempt from several FEC rules, federal (interruption). Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. I\u2019m sorry. I misunderstood Mr. Snerdley. They <emphasize>are <\/emphasize>exempt from campaign finance reform by virtue of Federal Election Commission rulings! So you\u2019re exactly right, Matt. The Indian tribes are totally immune, and yet here\u2019s McCain getting all this credit today for helping to nail Abramoff, and Abramoff simply gamed the system, said, &#8220;Okay, my guys are exempt. I\u2019m not even subject to this stupidity, and so he went to town with it.&#8221; I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going to happen. It has already started. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Just as we had campaign finance reform when a bunch of congressman were about to be <emphasize>nailed, <\/emphasize>we\u2019re going to get lobbyist reform. We\u2019re going to have people up on Capitol Hill going on and on. &#8220;We need lobbyist reform!&#8221; Newt Gingrich is out there saying, &#8220;We need lobby reform. There\u2019s too much lobbying going on out there. Too many circuitous routes are happening out there. We need more lobbying reform. We\u2019re gonna get a lobby reform bill,&#8221; and I don\u2019t know who\u2019s going to end up authoring it, but you wait. The same thing is going to happen. We get a lobby reform bill. There\u2019s going to be more screwed up lobbying than ever before. We get campaign finance reform. We got more screwed up campaign finance than ever. McCain\u2019s passed his anti-torture bill; we\u2019re going to get more torture than we ever dreamed possible. <\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Lobby reform bill. Newt\u2019s out there talking. &#8220;We need lobby reform,&#8221; and I don\u2019t know that a lobby reform bill has been proposed, but Newt is toying with the idea of running for president. I guarantee you a bunch of other presidential <emphasize>perspirants <\/emphasize>&#8212; not aspirants, &#8220;perspirants&#8221; &#8212; are going to jump on the bandwagon and will start talking about lobby reform, and some of them are in the Congress; some of them are in the Senate. So if it happens, here\u2019s what we\u2019re going to end up with. Congress, which may be engulfed in a lobbying scandal, wants to pass a law to tighten up Congress\u2019 behavior. This is like the old joke about, you know, putting Colonel Sanders in charge of the chickens to save \u2019em. The solution to this, folks, is real simple. You just elect people to graduates who don\u2019t take bribes. Of course, McCain says you can\u2019t do that because money corrupts good people. Well, then nobody should be paid anything! If money corrupts, we should all just work for free and let the government feed us, clothe us, house us, what have you. <\/line><BR\/>Lobby reform, genuine lobby reform, would simply be defeating members of Congress who sell their offices. It\u2019s called elections. The real powerful form of term limits. By the way, we had a drive-by caller. A drive-by caller is a caller with a good point but couldn\u2019t hang on to go on the air. There\u2019s a story in a New Zealand newspaper . I found it on the website here. &#8220;Three American senators will pass through New Zealand this week on a visit to Antarctica. It\u2019s not known yet if they will meet any local politicians. The trio include&#8230;&#8221; I\u2019m just reading this from the New Zealand website. &#8220;The trio include the independent-minded Republican Senator John McCain.&#8221; (laughing) Independent? I guess &#8220;maverick&#8221; is not enough in New Zealand. The independent minded Republican Senator McCain who won a skirmish with President Bush last month over a bill to ban torture,&#8221; and so forth. &#8220;He\u2019s traveling with two other Republican senators, Susan Collins and John Sununu. <\/line><BR\/>The drive-by caller said, &#8220;What is this, March of the RINOs?&#8221; They\u2019re going down to Antarctica? What for? What do you bet it\u2019s got something to do with global warming? I also found from&#8230; Where is this? This is Cato Institute website, a Libertarian bunch. This is a column, January 12th, by Pat Basham, Patrick Basham, and John Samples at Cato. &#8220;Campaign Finance Folly,&#8221; and let me just pick this up about, oh, 75% of the way in: &#8220;Campaign regulations must be applied consistently across political parties and their respective committees. Hence, the [Democratic National Commmittee]\u2019s request was rejected. The DNC isn\u2019t the only culprit when it comes to favoring one kind of campaign reform for itself and another for everyone else. Arizona Sen. [the maverick] John McCain (R) is a skilled practitioner of this approach to campaign regulation. McCain, the principal backer of campaign finance reform, is also a loyal backer of Indian political causes. As a result, McCain is the number one recipient of the political donations provided to candidates by the nation\u2019s 550 Indian tribes. <\/line><BR\/>&#8220;In fact, McCain receives twice the amount given to the second-highest recipient. Under current law,&#8221; this is 2002 now, &#8220;a person may donate a maximum of $1,000 to a specific candidate up to an annual limit of $25,000. This is known as &#8216;hard money.\u2019 The candidate may use it directly for his own campaign. In May 2000, the FEC ruled that an Indian tribe may make the current maximum hard money donation of $1,000 per candidate to each of the more than 500 candidates running for federal office, i.e., Indian tribes can make aggregate annual hard money contributions in excess of $500,000.&#8221; Everybody else\u2019s limit is $25,000. &#8220;In April, McCain\u2019s campaign finance bill passed the Senate and remains in legislative limbo in the House. However, if a McCain-style campaign finance bill is eventually passed, thereby banning soft money, McCain\u2019s favored tribes will possess a huge advantage over other Americans in exercising their right to political speech,&#8221; free speech. Here it is. Patrick Basham, John Samples, Cato Institute, January 12, 2002, almost four years ago. <\/line><BR\/>So the caller was right. Indian tribes are exempt from campaign finance reform and they give en <emphasize>masse <\/emphasize>to John McCain who sits on the Indian affairs committee? Hello, Jack Abramoff? Hello, Jack Abramoff? Folks, I tell you, in the meantime we\u2019ve got this reputation for Senator McCain as a tireless worker for fairness and for purity and cleanliness of the electoral system and so forth, gotta get the money out of politics except when it comes it his donors then there are no limits placed on his donors. They are exempt from his own law. Ha-ha, and I have a list here, and I\u2019m sure many of you people have been able to find this. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has put out a little story here: &#8220;Democrats Don\u2019t Know Jack?&#8221; A little dual meaning there, double entendre here, are 40 of the 45 members of the Senate Democrat caucus who have received &#8220;at least&#8221; this much money from Abramoff or his clients: <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/indian_tribes_exempt_from_mccain_feingold.Par.0009.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"276\" class=\"alignright\"\/> Max Baucus: $22,500<\/line><BR\/>Evan Bayh: $6,500<\/line><BR\/>Joe Biden: $1,250<\/line><BR\/>Jeff Bingaman $2,000<\/line><BR\/>Barbara Boxer: $20,000<\/line><BR\/>Maria Cantwell: $21,765<\/line><BR\/>Tom Carper (He\u2019s from Delaware): $7,500<\/line><BR\/>Hillary Clinton: $12,950. <\/line><BR\/>Christopher Dodd: $14,792 <\/line><BR\/> Byron &#8220;Helmet Head&#8221; Dorgan: $79,300<\/line><BR\/>Dick Durbin: (at least) $14,000<\/line><BR\/>Russ Feingold: $1,250<\/line><BR\/>Tom &#8220;Dung Heap&#8221; Harkin: $45,750<\/line><BR\/>Oh! By the way, you know what happened the week between Christmas and New Year\u2019s? Harkin sent back the Club Gitmo stuff that we sent him. He sent it back. Cookie sent me a note. I was out in Los Angeles; she sent me an e-mail, &#8220;We got this thing from Harkin\u2019s office. Do you want me to open it or do you want me to send it to you?&#8221; I said, &#8220;No, no, no. Go ahead and open it,&#8221; and she opened it up and it was all the Club Gitmo stuff. They said it exceeded the gift limit. Ha! My foot it exceeded the gift limit. We have Harkin here, took $45,750 at least from Abramoff or his clients.<\/line><BR\/>Senator &#8220;In No Way&#8221; from Hawaii: $9,000. <\/line><BR\/>There are some other big amounts here. <\/line><BR\/>Tim Johnson: $14,250<\/line><BR\/>John Kerry, $98,550<\/line><BR\/>Barbara Mikulski: $10,000.<\/line><BR\/>Blanche Lincoln: $14,891 <\/line><BR\/>Patty Murray, Washington: $78,991 <\/line><BR\/>At least that much money!

I never met Abramoff.&#8221; That\u2019s what all the Democrats say: &#8220;I never met Abramoff. I never went and played golf with him. I never flew in a private jet.&#8221; My rear end! Besides, when is that a crime? How many congressman have been ferried around in private jets since you and I have been kids? The idea that that\u2019s some sort of a crime.
