It's interesting how this sleazy money trail of former Republican mega-lobbyist, Jack Abramoff - he of the Indian gambling scandal, the Tom DeLay scandal, the bank fraud scandal, and much much more -- touches so many Republican politicians. For instance, wouldn't you just know that Virginia's own junior Senator, good ol' "Cowboy George" Allen, would be caught holding out his hand to the man whom Tom DeLay (also indicted) once called one of his "closest and dearest friends?" Hmmm... Read More

Exclusive interview by Raising Kaine

Raising Kaine recently had the privilege of interviewing David Ashe, a Democratic candidate for U.S. House of Representatives from Virginia's 2nd Congressional District. As you may recall, Ashe - a U.S. Marine who served in Iraq and who continues as a Marine Corps reservist - ran against right-wing Republican incumbent Thelma Drake in 2004, and lost (by a relatively small margin in a strongly Republican district formerly represented by homophobic closet case, Ed Schrock). Now, he's trying again, although he first must defeat a Democratic opponent named Troy Farlow. Anyway, on to the interview! Read More

I'll tell you, those Republicans in Congress and the White House really have their priorities straight. Yesterdayt, ExxonMobil reported a record quarterly profit of $9.9 billion on revenues of $101 billion (!), the first time in history that a U.S. company has earned more than $100 billion in a quarter. Several other companies - Marathon, Shell, ConocoPhillips, for instance - also made record profits in July, August and September. Read More

You've no doubt seen how Jerry Kilgore likes to bash and bait illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, it turns out that Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), the company Kilgore used to lobby for, has been busy EMPLOYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Not only that, but "Skilled Louisiana workers rebuilding a U.S. military base were pushed aside by sub-contractors looking to make a quick buck off American taxpayers by hiring low-skilled, low-wage undocumented workers," according to Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu.
