You're confused swampy. If there's a discussion about POLITICIANS, then their POLITICAL party affiliation is generally worth bringing into the conversation. If there's a discussion about someone in another line of work, it's irrelevant (e.g. Do you care about the political affiliation of a baseball star if he's involved in a drug scam?). It boggles the mind that you don't seem to understand this.
So, Jack Abrmoff wasn't a politician. He was just a lobbiest who happend to be Republican, but the Dems had a hay day.

Is a lobbiest a type of softball pitcher?

Lobbying is politics.

I think that Abramoff was the lobbiest lobbyist we've seen in a long time.
