3. The Hill has a brief bit about it too (with video).
Rep. Steve King to opponent: You haven't earned the right to debate me
By Shane D'Aprile - 08/31/10 11:56 AM ET

In what has been a relatively boring August recess, at least as far as town-hall meetings go, an Iowa Democrat gave the old "ambush your opponent" tactic a try Monday.

4. King is too chicken to debate.
If Iowa does end up losing a seat in Congress, it will probably be his district that goes away. As I have heard someone say, if it comes down to losing representation or continuing to have that arrogant ass represent us, I'll take losing the seat.

Being from NW Iowa originally I can say that for many people out there, they say they are Republicans because that is what their father was and his fathers father was going back generations. It seems that the letter that appears after their name on the television is more important than the person and King has capitalized on that. Jesus himself could run for office as a Democrat and lose.

6. Yeah, I noticed that too.
Apparently town hall meetings are only for T-baggers.

7. King is a bully who uses the system. As most bulies, he is a coward inside.
