Gotta love Republican cannibalism

Check out newsatnorman going after Pat in the name of Repug challenger Lance Sigmon:
What is Rep. McHenry Afraid Of?

“Let’s have a debate on the issues,. . . I’m happy to match my record against anyone. I’m proud of the work I’ve done.”
- Rep. Patrick McHenry

Patrick McHenry can run, but he can’t hide.
And in this case he’s running for re-election and trying to hide from a debate with his GOP opponent, Lance Sigmon.
What is McHenry afraid of?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about his integrity?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about his personal life?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about his live-in buddies and how they managed in 2004 to vote in Cherryville while having legal residences elsewhere?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about his staunch support of disgraced House leader Tom Delay and another congressman who was run out of office for his sexual improprieties with a male page?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about McHenry Real Estate, the company McHenry claimed to own, but never had even a telephone number or a single listing?
Is he afraid that he will have to answer some tough questions about his tax returns, his quick rise to financial wealth and questions about the fat-cats who stuff huge sums of money into his campaign checkbook?
To his credit, challenger Sigmon has made “honesty, ethics and integrity” the centerpiece of his campaign against McHenry and has raised questions about McHenry’s ethics.
He is ready, willing and able to debate McHenry anywhere in the district and has asked party leaders in Catawba County to help get the debates arranged.
To make it easy on the busy little congressman, Sigmon says he will debate him anywhere in the district at any time.
So far, McHenry has not responded, and we doubt that he will ever take the stage with Sigmon and debate the issues.
McHenry may be a little Napolean-esque, but he may have met his Waterloo. Come out, come out, Mr. McHenry.
