More quotes by Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff
If I read the articles about me, and I didn't know me, I would think I was Satan.
Jack Abramoff
All I want is for people not to see me as this cartoon monster.
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
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

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.
Jack Abramoff
I did this within a philosophical framework, and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.
Jack Abramoff
I can't vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.
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
It's very difficult for felons to live in society.
Jack Abramoff
I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
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
Class envy is dangerous.
