    The State Column: Jack Abramoff: Ron Paul is incorruptible

    Jack Abramoff, a former lobbyist and businessman, has a very high opinion of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. Mr. Abramoff, who made an appearance on “The Power Hour” with Joyce Riley last week, was convicted in 2006 on charges of fraud, corruption and conspiracy.

    As Mr. Abramoff discussed the pressure lobbyists can place on lawmakers, the former lobbyist noted that “Ron Paul was just never somebody that you went to lobby.” Mr. Abramoff added that Mr. Paul typically “agreed with you already. You’d go in and say ‘look, would you get more active on it,’ but otherwise there was just no chance of lobbying Ron Paul.”

    Mr. Abramoff’s assessment of Mr. Paul is especially relevant in the 2012 presidential race as congressional ethics are still at the forefront of the American political scene. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, for example, faced an ethics investigation in the 1990s and eventually received a reprimand and a $300,000 penalty.

    I believe with Ron Paul at the helm, even if country still crashes and explodes... I believe he would have tried his best. Whether or not Ron's plans work, I know that Ron won't screw you or me intentionally. He won't sell us out to the highest bidder.

    Obama.. Romney.. Santorum.. Gingrich.. They will suck us dry before they are through.

    Yeah, I guessed it, but I still wanted the title. You can leave a comment though, since you saw the video.
