More quotes by Jack Abramoff
No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.

Jack Abramoff

I think what I'm trying to do, reform-wise, is completely consistent with conservative philosophy. It may not be consistent with some so-called conservatives who live in Washington and make their living like I used to.
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
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
