all Reichert needs to do to dispel these rumors is to accept Suzan DelBene's challenge to a public debate, wherein he spontaneously answers unscripted questions in a cogent and articulate manner, without, you know, hitting anybody.
That's a pretty tall order for Reichert even in the best of times.
You looked down on us? Well, then I guess someone won't be getting a visit from the Slog welcome wagon. In fact, maybe I'll alert Amway to your presence.
Regarding Reichert, when would you ever expect any Republican candidate to actually use their brain to defend their positions? After all, the people who vote for them aren't big fans of thinking.
Back in Iowa, they have a fairly conservative Democrat running against the odious Steve King. King, of course, won't debate him, and he'll doubtless be re-elected in a landslide, because people in western Iowa aren't big fans of thinking - they just look for that R next to the name, and pull the lever. I think it's the Nebraska influence seeping over the border - that, or the pesticides in the drinking water.
Reichert knows he doesn't have to debate, so why bother?
As for Reichert debating, he debated in his three previous campaigns, and this one could shape up to be just as close. So the question is, what's so different this time around?
Goldy, look at what passes for a GOP candidate these days. Intelect is not a big part of the equation, and many of them refuse to even talk to reporters. Reichert is hoping to win by keeping his head low and counting on anti-Democrat feeling, which is pretty strong in his district, even in normal years.
Say what you will about the republicans, at least they vote. It seems like we have to spend all our time trying to get a bunch of flaky kids and easily hurt liberals to agree to do their basic civic responsibility.
It's actually one of the things that has long frustrated my righty trolls: my, um, self-employment. One of the first things far righties try to do to punish their critics is cost attempt to cost them their livelihoods. But as long as I have no employer, there's nobody they can pressure to fire me.

WA residents fail to pay their fair share of property taxes and instead want to tax people who work for a living.

I'm just really, really, tall.
