DUBLIN -- Emotions ran high as about 1,200 people packed an auditorium at New River Community College on Tuesday to tell U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher why they opposed or supported the attempt to overhaul health care.
Boucher, D-Abingdon, said he would not endorse or condemn any legislation during the three-hour town hall meeting, but he did offer insight into his thoughts on some key components of the latest proposals.

I sure like to see him have some problems but no one ever runs against him. He is pathetic and did poorly in his Max Meadows town hall.
The grassroots are on FIRE!
Might this be the thing that finally convinces the socially-conservative-but-populist UMWA folks down there in the Ninth to toss Mr. Peepers out?

He won’t vote for it. He knows how to stay in Washington. I went to a town hall during the Million Mom spinup and he basically told a Million Mom type to find another issue because he wasn’t going to go after guns because he would get unelected.
He voted for Cap and Trade even after he lost his committee chair so who knows what he will do. He has been shifting further and further to left over the years.
It is pathetic to see how the Roanoke Slimes made Dr. Hall look like he supported Obamacare just by being there. Dr. Hall was firmly against it.
He may have said he would not endorse.. but... he then went on to firmly endorse Obamacare in every sense of the word.
