Little Rickey Boucher of Va’s 9th cong. district found out the folks aren’t happy. Had a town hall meeting in Max Meadows, Va. He started off with a :30 min. talk of how wonderful things are and how He and congress are going to improve the world. Then the questions came, Why do you simply rubber stamp bills without reading them. “Well, you just don’t understand.” That set the crowd off and I do believe he was a tad scared. Not one happy camper in the crowd.

Oh, I missed this. When was it? Of course that lib rag of a paper the Roanoke Times didn’t cover it. Still if no one runs against him, what does he have to lose. I still have not heard of anyone running against him next year.

I spent the first 25 years of my life in Boucher's 9th District in Southwest Virginia and know the region's politics well, which are fairly Conservative but still Democrat of the 1930s variety, with strong UMWA influence.

Essentially, Boucher has survived through lots of pork and by talking out of both sides of his mouth, saying one thing to his constituents and the coal industry, while carrying Nancy Pelosi's water in DC. It's finally caught up to him with as more and more local folks are getting internet access to the real news and not liking what they are hearing from him, especially in light of his coal-killing Cap & Tax vote.

I talked to my dear old retired coal miner Democrat dad last night and he admitted to me that I've been right about Boucher all along and that Boucher has killed himself politically in SWVA because of Cap & Tax.

This was a stunning admission coming from the old man, who's been a lifelong democrat!

See post # 6. I actually watched CNN some last night.

I also could not believe that I heard that NOT one green job has been created (as promised) because the 0bama administration does not know how to define what a green job is.
