Ron Paul calls for diplomatic relations with Cuba

Ron Paul took a risky position in Florida in Thursday’s debate, calling for communication and diplomatic relations with Cuba, saying that people's positions have changed dramatically over the last few years.
Paul said that Cuba isn’t going to invade the U.S. any time soon, and that Americans weren’t looking under their beds anymore, worried. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich followed by pledging to continue the economic embargo on Cuba and to take any action short of military invasion to upend the government of Raul Castro.
Paul’s position is a potentially dangerous one in Florida, a state with a influential voting bloc of conservative Republicans from Cuba who have long favored aggressive policies toward Havana.
But a study of Cuban American voters in Florida suggests that Paul might be right, and that voters' opinions about Cuba are changing. Support for tightening the embargo dropped by roughly half between 2004 and 2008, according to a study by Benjamin Bishin, a UC Riverside professor.
Cuban Americans’ support for easing the embargo increased to 43.4%, from 26.7% in 2004, and support for easing travel restrictions increased to 47.4% from 32.9%, Bishin found. “Cuban Americans’ attitudes on issues of U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba seems to be in transition,” he wrote in a 2009 study.

Barack Obama Wants to Start a New War
The United States is financially broke and almost bankrupt. But the President of the United States, together with his band of Zionist mercenaries in Israel, wants to start a new and horrible war against a country that has not attacked us, Iran.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Of all the candidates for POTUS, only one stands out that is decent, honest, and 100% against reckless engagements in new foreign wars. That man is Libertarian U.S. Representative Ron Paul.
Send Barack Obama a message. Your days are numbered! We, the people, do not want a new war.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote to stop Obama's new reckless war.
Icing on the cake is the fact that Ron Paul is totally opposed to embargoes that do not work (against Cuba) and which do not have the support of the civilized world.
Vote for Ron Raul on the January 31st Primary Election in Florida.

Big Difference Between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul
Mitt Romey, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrigh are certified Cuba-haters. They hate the Caribbean island and its people as much as Hitler hated the Jews.
In contrast, Ron Paul, a strong Libertarian, is the only candidate running for U.S. president who has said that "the United States should end its Cuba trade embargo." He is a conciliator and not a war-monger. He would end all the undeclared wars that Barack H. Obama is currently waging, and bring the troops home.
Yesterday, Mittens said that he likes to fire people. He is an unabashed pawn of Wall Street and his former employer, Bain Capital, is a typical capitalist company which tries to SCREW the bottom 99% every which way they can.

Ron Paul: Lift Cuba Embargo, Boost U.S. Economy
I am a registered Independent, so I can not vote in the Republican Presidential Preference Primary, but I am considering registering temporarily that way, so I can express my repudiation of Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, who are Capitalist Establishment Candidates, who are pledged to continue this 50 year monumental failure.
END THE CUBA EMBARGO!
