More quotes by Jack Abramoff
As a result, I've been portrayed as a cynical barbarian preying on the very clients I was charged to defend.
Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I thought it only natural and right that my clients should reward those members who saved them such substantial sums with generous contributions. This quid pro quo became one of hallmarks of our lobbying efforts.
Jack Abramoff
Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.
Jack Abramoff
If you chose to serve in Congress or on a congressional staff, you should be barred for life from working for any company, organization, or association which lobbies the federal government.
Jack Abramoff
No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.
Jack Abramoff
I think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.
Jack Abramoff
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
Jack Abramoff

I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?
Jack Abramoff
One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.
Jack Abramoff
Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.
Jack Abramoff
I try to avoid saying anything positive about any presidential candidate for fear that if I actually like them then I will kill their campaign.
Jack Abramoff
Lobbying is not a bad thing. I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't have lobbyists or we shouldn't have lobbying to petition our government. It's in the Constitution, and it's something that should be honorable and good.
Jack Abramoff
Well, I don't think most Americans are playing the super-PAC game. I think what you have is elites on both sides playing the super-PAC game.
Jack Abramoff
Some issues lend themselves to grassroots campaigns - homeschooling works well - but others require contrivance and connivance to whip up support. Often, lobbyists will hire vendors to dispatch blast emails and robocalls in the hopes of bombarding Congressional offices with citizen fury.
Jack Abramoff
All I want is for people not to see me as this cartoon monster.
Jack Abramoff
I'm not a complete libertarian. There is a proper role in some areas of the government to have rules and regulations - I'm not an anarchist.
Jack Abramoff
I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.
