Stop your bellyaching and DO something--oh sorry, you like having your freedom here and your nice jobs....if YOU are not part of the solution then YOU are part of the problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503239653195967295.post-20285641948354295662008-01-28T13:34:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:34:00.000-05:00I am disappointed in Hillary. America is the only country that has embargoed Cuba. When Hillary speaks of "Democracy, human rights, and the fundamental freedoms all nations of the hemisphere, including the United States, have struggled to protect, will form the foundation of my policy toward Cuba when I am President of the United States," she sounds like Bush-Cheney when they were pushing us into attacking Iraq. Why can't we allow people to live in peace?scuttlbutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503239653195967295.post-34833991144432043022008-01-26T08:55:00.000-05:002008-01-26T08:55:00.000-05:00The Cuban-American National Foundation is not what it used to be. Maybe it never was. But everybody knows that already, and if one has any doubts then its use of "migrants" to describe Cuban refugees on its website should dispel all illusions. It seems, ironically, that only it is only Democratic politicians who still take CANF seriously, having believed from the first every calumny that was ever levelled against it in its heyday, they still see it as the "black hand" of the exile community and accord it more importance than it retains. The Republicans don't see it as a menace or an asset. They either know better or take the support of Cuban exiles for granted and need no intermediary.<BR/><BR/>The CANF sent the presidential candidates a survey with 15 specific questions on various aspects of U.S.-Cuba relations, such as the trade embargo and the "Wet Foot/Dry Foot" policy. The only candidates to actually answer the questionnaire were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. None of the Republican candidates did. Instead, they submitted canned statements on Cuba which avoided answering any of the questions in the questionnaire, which is a feat that defies the rule of probabilities but which, nonetheless, every Republican candidate managed to pull off (including those who ignored the survey).<BR/><BR/>We can only assume that their positions are more liberal than Hillary's, whose only unacceptable response was her support for the "Wet Foot/Dry Foot" policy (which all candidates share in common). This is frightening. Hillary Clinton, at least on paper, is more supportive of la causa than her Republican opponents! Of course, paper will hold anything and her positions may well change for the worse after the election. In fact, I'll bet on it. Still, I find it amazing that the Republicans no longer feel the need to cater to us, or, if you will, lie to us in order to secure our support. They are clearly saying that they know what is best for Cuba and feel no compulsion to share their "vision" with us. This is more than disrespect; it is disregard.<BR/><BR/>http://reviewofcuban-americanblogs.blogspot.comManuel A.Tellecheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503239653195967295.post-2680279715359033362008-01-26T08:21:00.000-05:002008-01-26T08:21:00.000-05:00As a Cuban-American I believe that our government should change few of its policy toward Cuba, such the embargo that from its political propuse have not been working for many years. Such those nonesense restrictions to the american citizens to travel freely to Cuba as a constitutional right as citizens of this country. Such the restriction to Cubans living in this country to travel freely to Cuba as many times as we want and to send money to those family members that many os us still have in Cuba. I believe that Castro have divided our family for many years; we don't need the US government to help him by doing the same in this country also.

How else do you explain the 1994 Cuban immigration accords where the US Coast Guard was tasked with returning Cuban refugees to Cuba ? If talk becomes necessary it will happen. With Raulito in place, there is no need to talk about anything without concessions from the dictatorship.pinarenonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503239653195967295.post-37201406986326970552008-01-25T16:50:00.000-05:002008-01-25T16:50:00.000-05:00Just a question:<BR/><BR/>How would the Clinton administration convey its message to a post-Fidel Cuba if it refuses to hold bilateral talks with the next government?Giancarlohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398635938805312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503239653195967295.post-89827653028993570132008-01-25T12:43:00.000-05:002008-01-25T12:43:00.000-05:00I won't for her at all.
