The Daily Press is reporting on comments by United Mine Workers (UMW) President Cecil Roberts, "a native of southwest Virginia," on Jerry W. Kilgore and George W. Bush.
We built the middle class down here and we're not prepared to give it up...What's Jerry Kilgore doing? Standing on the stage with somebody who wants to take your Social Security.
The two "dubyas" appear together tomorrow evening at a controlled aiport hangar "rally" in Richmond.
Roberts also urged Southwest Virginians to vote for Tim Kaine, who was touring the region with former Republican Governor Linwood Holton, his father-in-law.
[Note: The UMW of Virginia enthusiastically endorsed Tim back in May]
