120. What a shame. The right just can't suck us into cheering for Fidel.
Which is exactly what this push is all about. Rove and the neocons want the left to embrace liberalization of trade and diplomacy toward Cuba at exactly the moment the public is deciding who to vote for in '04.

Why? Why do you think that might be?

I mean, have any of you pro-Cuba-liberalization ranters even thought about the political consequences of what you are recommending.

You are pushing for the Democratic candidate for President of the United States to embrace proposals that are idiotic politically!

In case you haven't noticed, the future of the entire, damn, civilized world is riding on the outcome of the '04 election. The last thing I want my candidate doing is appearing to support an octegenarian, anti-democratic, third-world, communist dictator.

Don't you get it? Or do you deliberately not get it? Or are you ideologically incapable of grasping political reality?
