The Candidate submitted the following statement in lieu of questionnaire.I am committed to being a staunch ally in the cause of a free and democratic Cuba, where Fidel Castro’s communist totalitarian dictatorship has oppressed the Cuban people for nearly five decades. The United States must continue to lead the world in condemning the human rights abuses inflicted on the Cuban people and isolating Castro’s tyrannical regime both economically and diplomatically.
As President, I will oppose any efforts to lift trade and travel restrictions on the Cuban dictatorship and will veto any legislation seeking to lift these restrictions until three conditions are met: scheduling of free, fair and internationally supervised multi-party elections, freeing of all political prisoners, and legalization of all political activity and civil liberties.
For over 48 years, Cuba’s communist dictatorship has been a destabilizing force in our hemisphere. Fidel Castro has supported and promoted violent revolution as well as terrorist activity. Cuba remains on the U.S. Department of State’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism. Castro’s brand of tyranny is now evident in the dictatorial actions of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. In sum, the demise of the Castro regime would be a welcomed development for our hemisphere and for the Cuban people. The U.S. should continue to support pro-democracy activists inside Cuba to hasten the regime’s demise.
United States policy toward Cuba is clear. The 1996 Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act (Libertad Act) provides a road map for
America’s goal of expediting a transition to democracy in Cuba and assisting the Cuban people in a post-Castro democratic transition. As President, I will enforce and implement all provisions of U.S. law governing policy toward Cuba including the Libertad Act. I will continue President Bush’s policy of pursuing indictments against any Cuban officials, including Raul Castro, responsible for crimes against U.S. citizens. I will further support efforts to bring to justice any American fugitive criminals receiving safe haven in Cuba. The Castro dictatorship is an outlaw regime. As President, my administration will treat it as such.

Gracias Huckabee por apoyar a los Cubanos! Usted es el que vamos a necesitar quando se sepa la verdad.
Y se acave el reino de Fidel.
Viva Cuba Libre!
How about some English Barbie?
I do not think Huckabee reads or understands Spanish.
How about some English, billy ? "Biast" is not an English word, which you used in another post. I think you meant "biased." Why not consult a dictionary before pontificating on English usage ?
Mike Huckabee has so much wisdom, compassion, and integrity.
Liberal evangelical? You allowed over 1000 crininals to be parolled and many commited more crimes and one comitted murder.
You raised taxes 500 million dollars as Govenor of Arkansas and use as an excuse that "the supreme court in Arkansas, made you do it".
You've also received the endorsement of the teacher's union. As far as I can remember, they never endorse Republicans. Are you sure that you are not a Democrat? As an evangelical minister, I would expect that you could be honest with yourself.
Will you also pardon Castro and his regime when the time comes?
Mike you are a nice guy and have great communication skills but now is not the time to have revaltions about Cuba policy. The issue has been available for review for the past 50 years. http://youtube.com/watch?v=o1hs6FoK2yA
