“I think it’s very disheartening, We have one of the highest unemployment rates, one of the highest mortgage default rates and one of the highest number of uninsured citizens in the nation. It’s really unconscionable when voters are forced to make their decisions on sound bites and commercials.”.....Deidre MacNab
U.S. Cuba Relations
Strategies Of The Past Have Not WorkedAnyone with a limited knowledge of the United States' policy toward Cuba knows it is primarily driven by domestic politics in Miami and Tampa, Florida, and Union City, New Jersey. The policy has far more to do with hatred, retribution, pride and money than it does with Communism and human rights violations.
It is inconceivable to me if all of us worked together our talents and resources would be no match for mediocre members of Congress like Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, yet we continually lose ground to them and a handful of extremists in the Miami Cuban-American community. The Diaz-Balart types never cared about Cuba's poverty or human rights violations under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
