If it comes down to a war of association with FoF we may have to throw names around. Im not sure how connected Ralph Reed was to FoF but he and Abramoff were both complicit in two-sided gaming lobbying. If it comes down to a panel in the House covered by CSPAN we need a fast retort in our pocket drawing a line to a Rep ex Rep in jail they gave money to involved in this somehow. Maybe Ney or Cunningham or someone has a close enough degree of separation we can use. Ney is the best bet as he was in leadership at some point. Something along the lines of you and jack abramoff both gave money and lobbied together in the UIGEA effort with Rep X or Sen X. The more disgraced or name recognizable the Republican the better. You can't win on the merits of an argument as much as its one-liner appeal and saying Abramoff lobbied for Party is just enough true they can use it, we just need a comeback schoolyard style.
