The GOP is the party of choice for elderly, wealthy former Batista supporters in Miami. Also, they're not about to grant Obama any concessions, now that they have both houses of Congress.
Can't say I'm surprised by this.
Finally, someone calls them what they are.
Shut the hell up. As someone with a Cuban background from my dad's side of the family I'm appalled that you would refer to the Miami Cuban community that way. My grandparents supported the Cuban Revolution as most others did because Fidel Castro hid the fact that he was, and still is a Marxist-Leninist who idealizes Stalin. How the Hell would you like it if I called Russians in this counrty Kremlin apologists or refered to southern posters on this board as the sons of the George Wallace generation. I would deserve to be banned if I kept insisting crap like that and hope you jerks take back what you said. Even if you do view them as misguided, give them some fricking respect. My family was ostracized from society for having anti-castro sentiment and I have other relatives in shackles 90 miles south of where my aunt lives in Miami.
If you weren't referring to Cubans in Florida (whom a majority of support ending the embargo you described), I offer my sincerest condolences.
