Her name is not in circulation right now, although I personally think she would be absolutely ideal. However, the thinking among her and many citizens of TN, and probably all too accurate, is that she's needed in the state right now more than in Washington. She's been the beacon and the bugle call that's kept an income tax out of TN so far. Literally, but for her alerting the media about a
secret late-night vote last July 12th, that resulted in a headline-making massive protest at the capitol, Tennessee would have an income tax today.
I would imagine she's inclined to stay a state legislator, even though she would increase her income by nearly tenfold. She's one of those rare politicians who believe in this crazy notion that she's there to serve and represent her constituents. The truth is, she's needed here more than she's needed there.
Isn't this Marsha Blackburn a big supporter of Governor Don Sundquist? I thought Sundquist was on the outs with republicans and conservatives. Blackburn's website doesn't give her positions on the issues.
Is Blackburn in favor of tax reform and does she support President Bushes tax cuts? Is she pro-life or pro-choice? Does she support CFR? What's her position on education and national defense? Does she support special rights for homosexual?
Inquiring conservative minds want to know!
