It truly spoke to how out of touch with reality Republicans have become.


LMAO!!! Out of touch? Republicans have the house, senate and the majority of the governorships in the nation. Yeah, they are out of touch?

Yeah lets put on trial the professionals in the CIA who are assigned the responsibility of the security and defense of our country and give our enemies an advantage.....you lefties liberals are clueless with your blame America doctrine. That train is never late with liberals.

I already do share much of my "personal property" with my friends so that would not be a great change. However, I do not share with my enemies.

As far as our CIA is concerned I think we could learn a lot more just by reading our enemies newspapers. It is better to know your enemies and perhaps become engaged in mutual trade. Then, if they are still enemies, you can kill them without regret.

50 years of boycotting hasn't worked. Time to try something different.

Americans are also the least educated and most ignorant amongst developed nations, and you can thank the GOP for that, it is entirely by design.

you tell us, how do you deal with a totalitarian government? and explain that to the million Cuban-Americans in the U.S. that lost everything and rights were violated because of this totalitarian government.


forgive and forget, right? lol.....no formal apology? no reparations?


by the way the boycott works, it has prevented other Latin Republics in taking the same route as Castro and it prevented communism in taking control in South and Central America. It weaken Castro's regime in spreading his totalitarian revolution to other Latin countries.

There are totalitarian governments all over the world. We deal with them, have dealt with them and have even supported them militarily. What makes Cuba so different?

we deal with totalitarian governments when there is a bigger picture involved in the region. Like the war on terror or to defeat an enemy.

feel sorry for you that you view the U.S.A and Americans in a negative and low matter....you can always move. Wouldn't want you living in a nation full of low educated and ignorant people with your high I.Q. and high intelligence.

the benefits of boycott is for other Latin countries not take the totalitarian way of Castro and spread. It has work. Castro has tried for 50 years to spread his totalitarian revolution to Central and South America and it has failed and the boycott is part of that.


Now that we have Cuba on the ropes you want just to save that government without any concessions from the Cuban government?
