In this sense he did doge the question on abortion and contraception question. He chose not to answer them. Even if he did follow the directions he avoided answering those two because he knows he would either offend the extreme right or alienate his sane constituency. But feel free to continue to bash the writers because you have your panties in a bunch over wording on a political website.

I’m sure Mr. Fitzpatrick is going to do quite well with our without you being his surrogate.

“The candidates were given the opportunity to answer one of three questions dealing with women’s issues….Fitzpatrick dodged abortion and contraception questions, however, he did answer questions about same sex marriage. He said he opposed a constitutional marriage amendment and that the matter should be left up to the states to decide.”

This exemplifies journalistic sloppiness; he could not have “dodged” anything, because he complied with the precise request that he address “one of three questions.”

If anything, as I detailed in a companion-memo, he was as specific as she was nonspecific; for example, after he confronted her by requesting a specific citation when he had allegedly voted against vets. [She, however, was unable to cite specifics when asked to divulge any one entitlement that she would cut.]

We need a strong woman in the House who says what she means and means what she says. She is not afraid to answer the tough questions.
