Concerns over policy on Cuba linger

Looks like the radical exiles in Miami think that Bush is not radical enough.

Gov. Jeb Bush fired up a roomful of supporters of his brother's reelection campaign Saturday in Miami, but there were signs of lingering tension over the Bush administration's Cuba policy.

Even as Bush was mobbed by the crowd for autographs and pictures, a few Cuban-American Republican legislators and local elected leaders chose to skip the morning rally and a closed-door reception with the governor, underscoring, they said privately, concern over the president's commitment to a crackdown on Fidel Castro.

The no-shows come six months after GOP legislators and local elected leaders wrote to the White House warning that the president risks losing crucial Cuban-American support unless more is done to ensure democracy in Cuba.

''The lack of turnout among Republican-elected officials at the campaign kickoff may highlight a problem among Cuban-American voters that must be addressed,'' said state Rep. David Rivera of Miami. He was among the legislators who did not attend, saying he had scheduling conflicts.

''As Republican-elected officials, we want to deliver overwhelming support for the president's reelection, but we need help on the Cuba issue to achieve it,'' said Rivera, one of 13 state representatives to sign the letter to the White House.

They shouldn't worry though, the Dem candidates will come to Miami again to pander to their concerns (except Dennis Kucinich).




Only ONE candidate for US president
openly states that he would end this
unjust and insane policy against Cuba
AND Americans.

That candidate is Dennis Kucinich.
