There's no other word for it:
Mike Ferguson is a COWARD. He is ducking debates with Linda Stender:
http://politics.yaho...
Why? Because he knows that after a career of being a Bush stooge, the ONLY chance he has to win is to keep Stender's name recognition low.
But all voters in NJ-7 deserve to hear a real debate about the real issues that face our country.
Be a man, Mike - debate Linda Stender!
It's bad enough that Mike hasn't articulated clear positions about Iraq, homeland security, Bush's deficits, stem cell research, choice, the environment, or a host of other issues.
He has also dodged questions about whether he supports Dennis Hastert as Speaker (in the wake of the Foley scandal).
He has dodged questions about whether he thinks his behavior toward the families of those who suffer from spinal cord injuries is appropriate ("He said, 'Mrs. Riccio, your son is not going to walk in his lifetime.'").

He has dodged questions about whether he thinks Congressmen should be giving their ID pins to young women in bars.

Why are you hiding under your desk, Mike? Afraid to face the voters? Afraid to defend your record?
Don't be gutless, Mike. Come out and debate Linda Stender. Accept her offer for a series of debates in non-partisan sites.
If you won't stand up for yourself, Mike, why should we believe that you'll stand up for US?
