"Bennie The Chicken-Hearted" Refuses To Debate Ronchetti

Above, Rep. Ben Ray Lujan. He's afraid to debate, but he's not scared. Otherwise, he would debate. He thinks the
senate seat is his. He already has a "SenLujan" Twitter account. Nothing like counting your chickens before they hatch!

Rep. Ben Ray "Bennie Lu-lu" Lujan apparently thinks he has the U.S. Senate seat from New Mexico in the bag or just is entitled to it (he already has a @SenLujan Twitter account). In any case, he is refusing to debate on television his Republican opponent Mark Ronchetti.

For a man who has accomplished absolutely nothing for his congressional district (of which I am a resident), this is not very smart politics to say the least. He needs to earn the senate seat. Being Nancy Pelosi's "butt-boy" does not cut it.

Steve Pearce, Chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party has issued the following press release:

U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE’S DECISION TO SKIP DEBATE TYPIFIES “NO-SHOW” BEHAVIOR IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

ALBUQUERQUE, SEPTEMBER 6 — Rep. Ben Ray Luján has declined to take part in a televised U.S. Senate debate on October 5. The debate is sponsored by KOB-TV and the Santa Fe New Mexican. Republican candidate Mark Ronchetti will participate.

The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce:

“It’s not surprising that Rep. Luján will be a no-show at this important debate. He has done little to help New Mexicans in Congress and has been a no-show in his home District. With an open U.S. Senate seat, it’s vital that voters be able to compare and contrast political views, and it’s obvious Lujan doesn’t care enough to discuss important issues for constituents of his state. This exposes who Rep. Luján really is, and New Mexicans deserve better than this.”

Maybe he should be known in the future as "Bennie The Chicken-Hearted".
