    US policy towards Cuba has not succeeded in 50 years.

    Why do these politicians think they will suddenly start working?

    Move on and get over it.

    The political powers in Florida include a lot of anti-Castro sentiment. Florida is a swing state for the upcoming Presidential election.

    Obumma is like a sixteen year old virgin who doesn't know what to do with her TWO boyfriends who comes courting from Cuba.

    Roger them senseless and risk killing them with heart attacks or maintain her 'purity'?

    The answer is to fuck them to death and let all the Cubans get on with their lives free at last?

    What about those behind the 'boys' (ha, ha, ha) do we think they will roll over and do nothing when they are stripped of the power and money robbing positions? Depends on the bribes Obumma gives them to make his dream come true.

    WGAF though?

    McConnell's problem is that his comments could apply equally to Egypt, the KSA and to many other countries which have US ambassadors. But McConnell seems not to understand that the Cubans do not constitute a large proportion of the Latinos within the US. This guy, and the GOP, are on the wrong side of history.

    I see you and your Spanish speaking wetbacks in the US now outnumber the Spanish speakers in SPAIN!

    Perhaps you should move to Spain and help them turn their frazzled economy around given the size of your brain?

    I think it will take you more than 25 years though, given the miniscule size of your brain.

    Let's see, we have ambassadors and embassies in Russia and China, moving towards relations with Vietnam, etc. It's Cuba that is the threat? Given that we have trade and relations with many countires that have deplorable human rights track record and abhorrent politics, tell me again why we should continue our ill-advised stance toward Cuba?
