Rabidoux challenges Blackburn to debate
By Kevin Walters • The TENNESSEAN • August 6, 2010
FRANKLIN — Democratic congressional candidate Greg Rabidoux says he wants to face Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn in a public debate.
On Friday morning, Rabidoux issued a letter challenging Blackburn to at least one debate, if not more. He’s given Blackburn until Aug. 16 to respond.
“Ultimately, the 7th District voters and the democratic process are all best served by this happening,” Rabidoux said.
Rabidoux initially took the letter to Blackburn’s office at the Cadence Bank Building on Main Street in Franklin though he later took the letter to Blackburn’s campaign headquarters in Brentwood.
Blackburn’s staff could not immediately be reached for comment.
Rabidoux is an assistant professor of American politics and constitutional law at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville.
Rabidoux will oppose incumbent Blackburn for the 7th Congressional District in the general election in November.

This is the G-Funk from Brentwood, Tennessee. My "far-left" blog is back! As critiquing the Right-wing has proven to be one hell of a task, I'm going to try and focus on my some of my REAL favorites, especially my congressman, Marsha Blackburn. However, you never know who might show up, so stay tuned!

ARE YOU A LIBERAL?
"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'

CONFUSION
Blackburn remarks on the amazing condition of our economy...
Republicans are not going to play I-told-you-so, but it is pretty obvious that the tax reductions passed in 2003 helped Americans dig out of a recession and get back to work.
Our tax policies, the tax relief and reform we passed in 2003 and 2005, helped get government out of the way of America's entrepreneurs, and our unemployment rate is now lower than it was in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.
It is time that we begin to fine tune our focus and decide what the priority of government ought to be.
