More quotes by Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff
Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.
Jack Abramoff

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
I don't pay much attention to sports.
Jack Abramoff
I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
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 am much chastened and profoundly remorseful. I can only hope that the Almighty and those whom I have wronged will forgive me my trespasses.
Jack Abramoff
Congress doesn't hate Congress.
Jack Abramoff
I can't vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.
Jack Abramoff
Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.
Jack Abramoff
No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.
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
In the past two years, I've started the process of becoming a new man. I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful over the reckless and hurtful things I have done in my life, especially those which have brought me before you today.
Jack Abramoff
