Oh, you mean like the Reagans?
I'm not sure if I should laugh or roll my eyes at your post

I was just watching a Bacardi commercial on tsn.ca and a tweet notification came up that led me to read this.

About time. Salvor Hardin would approve.

Yeah, this embargo is a relic of an earlier time that needs to go. If we do business with China, I'm not sure why Cuba is off limits at this point. Castros are just about done. Set the table now and then when new generation comes in things can warm up considerably provided they follow basic human rights (again, its not like we aren't chummy with some questionable regimes around the world already).

People will object to this embargo ending while they wave American Flags made in China and have no realization of the delicious irony.

I was laughing at Rubio's objections. Talk about pandering to a base (Floridians of Cuban heritage) that has long since given up total opposition to a warming of relations.

He's worried about the Castro government becoming a "permanent fixture", because as we all know it has to be 56 years to be a permanent fixture; 55 years, still just a hiccup.

Wait. Is he talking about Cuba or China?
Aside from his geography flub - which he did correct - I'm not sure he wants to hold up Italy as an example of democracy.
Freedom is important for free people. A dizzying intellect.

I don't know who Rubio is paying to advise him, but he just committed a Bobby Jindal-type F up on the national stage and you never get a second chance to make a first impression. One would think his staff would be telling him to S T F U right now because he's making a buffoon out of himself. I can see a Conservasaur being upset over this if you're old enough to remember the Cuban Revolution, but isn't Rubio like 40 years old? He's pandering to a way of thought that you'd associate with a man twice his age.

I'm not in FL, but it may well still play there. The Cubans who hated Castro so much were Batista's rich friends who got their azz kicked out of the country and their assets nationalized. They took their butthurt to the US and had perfect timing because the Cold War was warming up and the Kennedy Clan, who had hated Cuba since the 20's god knows why -- maybe a leftover from Joe's rum-running days, was in power. Those guys still had enough money to be valuable to FL politicos so they were cultivated as a useful grievance group.
Their descendants still think there's a big pay day coming once Castro falls. Not sure how they feel about the warming of relations, actually -- they might get more flies with honey.
