Cuba Libre!

Democracy fever is spreading....this time in Cuba. Earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed a resolution expressing solidarity with the nascent democratic movement in Cuba. For the record, the following House Democrats voted against it: Charles Rangel, Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Jim McDermott, Cynthia McKinney, Pete Stark....and thirteen others. Quoth ol' Chollie, "[I voted against it because our government] refuse to give the [Cuban] government the respect that it deserves.”

Let it never be said that these people are advocates of democracy. They're hucksters, frauds, and apologists for murderers. That they're all Democrats shows just how far the once great party has sunk. If there's a despot out there who hates America, he can always count on the support of the aforementioned jack-asses.
