But, like I've said before, I think the way this area votes is more due to the fact that a huge percentage of folks around here are gullible enough to believe anything they are told, and can't think for themselves enough to read, comprehend, and form their own views on issues. All many know is they love guns, are intolerant of minorities to a large extent, don't like gays, and don't want to pay taxes (although many of 'em suck up more in government dollars than they have ever paid in). That being the case, if you were Boucher voting on this issue in an election year, what would you have done?
You seem to have an extraordinarily low opinion of people in this area, which may say more about you than it does about the people you ridicule.

And....me personally, I would have voted with my conscience and for what was right.

Why did he vote against the "keep Americans in their homes bill"? Why did he work his backside off to allow medical providers far greater freedom to squeeze blood from your turnip, including taking your home?

2+2 really does = 4 you know.
