El Tinklenberg, the DFL and IP endorsed candidate for Congress in the 6th CD, has challenged Rep. Michele Bachmann to a series of candidate forums in advance of the November elections. In his letter, Tinklenberg also indicates that both he and Bachmann have already accepted an invitation to debate in front of the Monticello Chamber, meaning the candidates will square off at least once. El will certainly have a lot of ammunition to use against Bachmann in any debate, so these forums will be must-see events if Bachmann accepts Tinklenberg’s challenge.
El’s letter is after the jump.
Dear Representative Bachmann:
Cordially, I would like to invite you to join me for a series of Sixth District public candidate forums this summer and fall.
It is my understanding that you have already added the September forum at the Monticello Chamber of Commerce to your campaign calendar, and I look forward to participating in that event as well.
Several other Chambers of Commerce across the district have also expressed interest in hosting candidate forums, and I hope you will consider their forthcoming invitations. To my knowledge specific dates have not been established, and if certain dates are preferable we will gladly work to accommodate your schedule.
As I’m sure you’ll agree, it is important that we afford voters the opportunity to learn more about our distinct views on the issues they find most important. That is why I propose that these forums have an open format in which voters may ask us questions directly.
Please contact my campaign office at your convenience to discuss arrangements. I look forward to your response and to beginning a thoughtful, productive campaign season.
Best,
El Tinklenberg

Ha, she’ll never do it. She knows her one saving grace in this election cycle is that people dont see that she is an ape shit crazy lunatic who cares little for this country or it’s constitution. God Bless Extreme-Right-Wing-Jesus-Land.
But on another note, if she does anyone in Anoka or Washington county, I would be there front row.
::sigh:: I meant any, not anyone, I believe the Bible speaks against that and she does whatever the Bible says, like obey her husband when he tells her to run for Congress or go into tax-law. Honestly, the digs I can make at this woman are endless.
Elwyn’s invite here sounds alot like the proposal McCain had for he and Obama to do a series of townhall meetings across the country. Obama then replied “anytime, anywhere”. And when his campaigned realized that McCain was serious, they backpedalled and agreed to two, including one on the 4th of July evening (at which time anyone with a pulse is out celebrating their country).
DantheMan, I agree 100%,
The most patriotic thing we can do then is watch Barack Obama having to face the number one issue on everyone’s mind….his patriotism.
The great thing about attacking his patriotism is that everyone knows he is only just a moonbat who hates America and wants to surrender to terrorists. Everyone knows there are no Liberals who are patriots, and he is a Liberal.
The important discussion of his flag pin and his failure to hold his hand over his heart in one picture will happen on the 4th of July. How appropriate.
Everyone is very concerned about Barack Obama!
I’m sure McCains character, charisma, charm, and common sense will be on full display, the complete and utter opposite of Obama’s traits.
Enjoy watching this debate that everyone knows McCain will win. It is too bad so many people will be unable to watch John McCain completely destroy Barack Obama on every issue.
Great Job!
TFRWG -
You’re right, Obama does not want to make this about patriotism. But the point of my post was that Obama initially responded to McCain’s sincere request for a series of nationwide townhall forums with a machismo “Anytime, Anywhere”. Sounded great. Then, when it became closer to reality, his campaign wanted to negotiate two such forums with tightly controlled, non-primetime slots. What does Obama have to hide? Heck, he is better on his feet than McCain. I found that switcharoo surprising.
Unlike the switcharoo on taking public funding after committing not to. I saw that change of heart coming from a mile away.
Adjusting his view on townhall forums…. deciding to take private money instead of public… Obama is a man of “change”!!!!
Hmmmm… lets see who has more notable flipflops?

Or Baracks public funding and not doing some townhall meetings for John?
Sorry DantheMan
But you are sticking up for Jon McCain, (or at least dutifully attacking Obama). Call it what you will. He has more holes than a seive. On the issues, he is spineless, and as a politician, he deserves to fail. Must suck to see him go up against Obama. Wish I could feel bad for you, but after the last 7.5 years? I can’t see a real life scenario where BushCo/Repubs/Neocons/”Conservatives” get what they truly deserve, for the damage they have inflicted on this country and it’s people, red and blue alike. I will have to settle for pointing out Jon McCain and Colemans shortcomings. (There are many, and it never gets old)
