How should we interpret Mr. Edwards lack of response?
so much for Edwards helping the "powerless"
Nice of the Cuban American National Foundation including 6 republican candidates and only 3 democrat candidates. Nice way of choosing sides. As if the other candidates do not exist or have any views on Cuba policies.
Billy....there are only THREE democratic candidates in the race...what planet are you on? There are more Republican responses because there are more republican candidates...one plus one equals two...
eddie-i agree. He's just a postalita who says what people want to hear.
mathwhiz, there are more than 3 democratic candidates running. You might want to check out CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/
To find out who they are. Fox news is not going to let you know who they are.
Billy - I agree with you that there should be fair and balanced representation for all candidates regardless of party. But even CNN, who you have cited, only had the top three democratic candidates at their most recent debate.
I think the number of candidates listed is more a function of the Republican race being more open and with more candidates still having a shot at winning.
I think we would all agree the democratic side is either Hillary or Obama. Edwards can probably drop out soon.
Your silence speeks volumes! I am sure you will continue to have a great career as a "slip and fall lawyer".
You want healthcare cost to come down? How about guys like you getting out from between Doctors and patients and limiting your ability to screw the system which is exactly how you made your 50million dollars.
I will not miss you when you drop out of the debates.
By the way....
Didn't you serve as paid advisor to that hedge fund (forte) that is now forclosing on sub-prime mortgage holders? 40% are Hispanics that are loosing their homes........
I see what you mean by the 2 Americas. You are trying to have it both ways. Grow a backbone and take responsibility for your failure in judgement.
I would also refuse to answer questions to an organization that is a US pawn for foreign intervention and internal US politics that masquerades as some sort of grass roots non-partisan human rights group. No mainstream human rights organization on the planet gives the CANF any credibility. CANF is a farce. That is why you "struggle" alone while getting drunk, living the American dream, and taking in the sun on the beaches of Miami. Keep on strugglin'!
Fidelidad,
I am not sure how CANF is a pawn of the U.S.
While CANF, like most Cubans, is tremendously appreciative of the U.S. for the manner in which this country has welcomed our people during the nightmare that Cuba has lived through over the last 50 years, CANF is far from a pawn of the U.S. government or for that matter of either political party. If you are objective in observing the manner in which influence has actually flowed on the Cuba issue in the U.S., it has been CANF who, during its more than 25 years of existence, has influenced the U.S. government to craft and maintain policy against the Castro dictatorship and not the other way around. CANF’s independence from the U.S. government and from the political parties that comprise it is one of the institutions most important pillars. It is because of this philosophy that CANF is funded by the personal donations of its Board of Directors and the thousands of members that comprise it and not from government grants like many other organizations – perhaps this is something that you were not aware of. It is also true that CANF’s Board and its staff represent, and have represented over time, a crossection of Republicans and Democrats who, in both cases, are instructed to leave their party affiliations at the door when they engage in activities on behalf of the institution because CANF is issue focused: it focuses on advancing democracy in Cuba and anybody who is a true friend of that cause is a friend of the institution. It is because of this that CANF has in the past worked with individuals with a spectrum of overall political views to pass legislation or otherwise advance the cause of a democratic Cuba here in the U.S. and abroad.
Good constructive discussion on differences of opinion on policy matters, tactics, etc are great. Certainly nobody has a monopoly on good ideas and hopefully this blog leads to high quality discussion that in turn sparks new, strong ideas for the benefit of Cuba. However, I do not think that your type of attack adds value to this dialogue or the cause of a prosperous and democratic Cuba. When we engage in a discussion based on our love for Cuba and when that discussion is pursued in a civilized fashion, dissenting dialogue can be very constructive. However, levying baseless attacks against an institution that has been providing a voice to a community that has suffered through five decades of a ruthless dictatorship that has oppressed and destroyed an entire country is not very elegant and certainly not very useful. I encourage us all to keep the discussion at an educated level in the way that many of the other posters have done.
