Republican Party Going After Boucher

It's been decades since Congressman Rick Boucher was considered by the GOP to be vulnerable to an upset. But that was before he stabbed his constituents in the back by supporting - enthusiastically - the cap-and-trade bill that the environmentalists in Washington wrote, the purpose of which is to target the coal industry for destruction.

(Go here to read more about the estimated devastation Boucher's legislation will bring down upon Southwest Virginia, particularly its coal counties.)

Now the Republican Party sees an opportunity for the GOP to drive the traitor out of office and send him home (to his permanent home in the DC suburbs, that is).

Starting immediately you'll be seeing and hearing radio, phone, and web ads that are focused specifically on Boucher's loyalties - to Obama and Pelosi - and on the fact that his vote has done us grievous harm.

The Republican Party wouldn't be doing this if the possibility didn't exist that Boucher could be driven from office in the next election.

Here's the web ad:



Here's a freeze-frame from the You Tube clip:

Boucher has been absent from his roots for too long. It's time we had someone in Washington representing us, rather than the liberal special interests.

Call his office if you choose.

I say, "Throw the bum out."
