Rick Boucher has Opponents! - Terry Kilgore?
Well Kilgore will be there....This is from a piece in the BHC about Tea Party Protests -
At least three people are considering a run against Boucher in next year’s Congressional election, and Smith said one of them might announce his candidacy Monday. U.S. Rep. Phil Roe and state Delegate Terry Kilgore also are scheduled to speak.
Here is more proof of how feckless a congress critter Boucher is -
Boucher, though invited, said he does not plan to attend the rally. Though organizers said the event is nonpartisan, Boucher said it’s clearly being held by his opposing party.
“I don’t think it’s in their interest or mine for me to be addressing what essentially is a Republican rally,” Boucher said Thursday.
Hey Feckless! There are democrats, republicans, and independents at those rallies. The same votes you rely on. People are mad and hopefully with the right conservative candidate we can kick your feckless ass to the curb. Boucher may take his base for granted, but after his carbon tax bullshit (Thanks Jerry) this should be his last term. People here are talking Rick, and You Sir are not voting the will of your constituents.

post a comment"Carbon tax bullshit?" Are you serious? Carbon regulation is coming soon enough and the coal industry should be preparing for it. Not only is there international pressure, but the current political climate is more favorable to reducing emissions in this country than ever before. Rick Boucher is realistic and pragmatic in understanding that legislation is on the way. At least the legislation he was co-sponsoring, as compared to other legislation currently being floated around, is much more pro-coal than the others. His legislation would have allowed a fighting chance and offerred the possibility of a significant amount of funding for Carbon Capture and Sequestration technology, whereas some of the other legislation being floated around will simply cripple the coal industry.
