I'm sad for Cubans. Fidel Castro made a deal with Lyndon Johnson to allow emigration to Florida in the 1960s--when the most educated and professional of the Cuban population at that time left the country and set up shop in Florida. After that, many others sneaked over to this country. In spite of the romance of a revolution to make things better for his people, Fidel Castro proved to be about Fidel Castro at the expense of those people he said he would help. I don't see much change under his brother, who may not be charismatic, but will carry on the policies of his brother. This is so sad for the young people in that country

This is what dismays me about our countrys direction politically. All of these issues right on our borders with Cuba and Mexico and where are we spending Billions and Billions? Sending our soldiers to fight and die, to Iraq and surrounding countries, with our front door wide open. Wake up voters or it's going to be too late real soon.

Maybe Cuba should have voted for Ron Paul. It might get a bunch of people in this country to shut up who don't even realize Ron Paul dropped out a long time ago.
Ron Paul will save us!
