When one thinks about it, there is alot of truth in the OP.
Another point - because of the media, the public has the perception that the GOP is the party of corruption. I don't have the stats, but I'd be willing to bet that many more Dems have been convicted in the past 20 years.
Abramoff was a scumbag, sure, but the way the media played him up you'd think he was the only lobbyist peddling influence, and that he only influenced Republicans. Hardly a word about Nitwit Pelosi and her support Federal funding of alternative energy companies in which she has a financial interest.

Not true.
Yale University (1962–1966)
In 1962, Kerry entered Yale University, majoring in political science. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1966. Kerry played on the soccer, hockey, lacrosse and fencing teams; in addition, he took flying lessons.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-citm-pt1_8-1>[9]</SUP>
In his sophomore year, Kerry became president of the Yale Political Union. Amongst his influential teachers in this period was Professor H. Bradford Westerfield, who was himself a former president of the Political Union.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-9>[10]</SUP> His involvement with the Political Union gave him an opportunity to be involved with important issues of the day, such as the civil rights movement and Kennedy's New Frontier program. He was also inducted into the secretive Skull and Bones Society.
Under the guidance of the speaking coach and history professor Rollin Osterweis, Kerry won many debates against other college students from across the nation. In March 1965, as the Vietnam War escalated, he won the Ten Eyck prize as the best orator in the junior class for a speech that was critical of U.S. foreign policy. In the speech he said, "It is the spectre of Western imperialism that causes more fear among Africans and Asians than communism, and thus it is self-defeating."<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-10>[11]</SUP>
Over four years, Kerry maintained a 76 grade average and received an 81 average in his senior year.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-11>[12]</SUP> Kerry, even then a capable speaker, was chosen to give the class oration at graduation. His speech was a broad criticism of American foreign policy, including the Vietnam War, in which he would soon participate.
lets keep it simple, class rank
