Surrender Monkey Faces Challenge in 2008
Soon after reading Rep Ron Klein’s blog post at The Hill.com this report popped up in a Yahoo news feed. It seems the GOP is wasting no time finding replacements for Rep Klein. If the earlier post indicating Klein’s penchant for surrender is typical of his stand on issues, the new challengers should not have much trouble unseating this surrender monkey.
It would be nice if the GOP could see their way clear to provide alternatives to other Democratic left wingers around the country. Of course, after a taste of the Democrats and their New Direction, other candidates in 2008 should have an easier time of ousting incumbents. The Dems continue to confuse the desire of their base with the will of the American people. It was merely a response to ineffective government. When one majority fails to produce results in a two party system, the other party is the beneficiary of the anger from the public. That does not mean the will of the people has been bestowed on the victor.

GOP Seeks to Oust Florida Frosh Klein in 2008 House Race
By Rachel Kapochunas
As they plot to win back the House in the 2008 election, Republicans have vowed to wage an aggressive challenge next year against freshman Democratic Rep. Ron Klein, who last year unseated veteran Republican Rep. E. Clay Shaw Jr. in southern Florida’s highly competitive 22nd District.Allen West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, declared his candidacy Tuesday as the second Republican candidate to organize a bid against Klein. West will compete with former Navy pilot Mark Flagg and perhaps one or more Republicans in the August 2008 primary.
But West, in announcing his intention to run, focused his fire on Klein: “Voters in next year’s elections will be offered two distinct visions for the future of our country: strength or weakness, resolve or indecision, security or vulnerability,” West said in a statement. “America is at a crossroads, and I intend to be a voice in Congress that stands up for preserving our nation’s strength, safety, and future.”
