Jan Brewer: Not That Strong a Debater

Jan Brewer, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin — representatives of the new breed of Republicans who refuse to answer any questions about their views, refuse to engage in debate with their opponents (and are pathetically bad on the rare occasions when they do), completely avoid the media, and just keep repeating far right talking points like robotic parrots: Brewer: No more debates - period.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer says she only debated her Democratic opponent Terry Goddard for the money, anyway. And she got paid, so what’s the point of any more discussion?

PHOENIX - Arizona voters won’t be seeing any more debates between the top gubernatorial contenders.

Incumbent Republican Jan Brewer said Thursday she has no intention of participating in any more events with Democrat Terry Goddard. She said the only reason she debated him on Wednesday is she had to to qualify for more than $1.7 million in public funds for her campaign.

“I certainly will take my message in a different venue out to the people of Arizona,” she said.

It’s becoming a real trend. Has right wing American politics reached such a fever pitch of insanity that this is now a winning strategy — to simply cut yourself off from all possible challenges to your views, and run away from reporters?
