More quotes by 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 mean, money is a tool.
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
Class envy is dangerous.
Jack Abramoff
Access is vital in lobbying. If you can't get in your door, you can't make your case.
Jack Abramoff
Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can't be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can't be the agent of causing someone to go to prison.
Jack Abramoff
Congress doesn't hate Congress.
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
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
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.

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
It's very difficult for felons to live in society.
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
Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.
Jack Abramoff
I think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.
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
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 can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
Jack Abramoff
They realize that spending millions to save billions is just good business.
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.
