Take 2 on: Diaz-Balart may face challenger

Over at one of my favorite web sites, DraftGarcia.com, they're making fun of Lincoln Diaz-Balart -- differently from the take I posted a couple days ago. Here's what they're saying:

This is big. A secret plot has just been discovered by South Florida Republicans on the possibility that they may face challenges in their re-election bids. That’s right, three South Florida Representatives are going to face Democratic challengers in US House elections and they have lots of evidence to prove it. From the Miami Herald:

U.S. Rep. Lincoln Díaz-Balart points to a trade publication article as evidence of a Democratic plan to unseat him and two other Republican Cuban-American members of Congress…

I find it funny how Lincoln portrays this as an evil plan to take “his” seat, to “unseat him.” He’s out of touch just like about every other Republican. I think he’s going to learn in this election that he doesn’t own this seat, it belongs to the constituents he’s supposed to represent. The voters will choose who they want to serve them and not have it designated down from the lobbyists and insiders in Washington. I mean “evidence of a Democratic plan,” what’s he talking about here? This is the first time, in America, I’ve ever heard of running candidates in an election being treated as some kind of terrible act, like a secret plot. Hilarious.

But wait, there’s more. There’s going to be Three Top-Secret Plans to run candidates in US Elections.

”For the first time, we’re going to have two very viable candidates running against Lincoln and Mario,” Fernández told Cuba News.

“As important as Washington, D.C., is, if we want real change, it has to come from South Florida. Once we knock off one or both of these guys, things will start changing.”

Mario Díaz-Balart’s potential opponent, according to Democratic sources, would be Joe García, Miami-Dade County’s Democratic Party chief.

Ros-Lehtinen remains unopposed but Fernández is quoted in CubaNews as saying, “Trust me, all three will be challenged.”

How dare we have elections! What kind of Democratic Party are we now?! Don’t we know we’re just supposed to give them a free ride?
