Reply #31: How many Cuban-Americans have the Bushistas appointed

[Osolomia]

As their reward for stealing the 2000 election?

1. Otto Reich
2. -Batista’s grandson
3. - Mel Martinez

who else?

What’s stopping them from doing it again in 2004? Then what?

Surely the fact that a BIPARTISAN MAJORITY in Congress and most State Legislatures want to lift the travel and trade ban is a pretty good indication that the Cuban “exile” lobby is no longer the monolithic all powerful and rich and influential lobby in Washington that so many still make it out to be and use as an excuse for intransigent US foreign policy year after year after year, election after election after election.

So why do Dem presidential candidates Lieberman and Graham and Edwards and Kerry etc. all pander to Miami’s extremist “exiles”? What percentage of the vote do they make up? What percentage of the Cuban-American vote do they even represent really? Whose interests are they really acting for by keeping US citizens travel banned and why do Americans put up with it when the opportunity to do something about it has been handed to them on a silver platter time after time after time?
