On Insanity, Part 2

One big reason the U. S. policy toward Cuba is the way it is goes to the Cuban refugee population in southern Florida. This is the tail that wags the dog of U. S. Cuban policy.

See, both political parties want to court the Cuban vote in Florida. Well here's a news flash: It doesn't make any difference. First, they aren't that large a bloc, and second, they're going to vote Republican, anyway.


I don't see why they don't treat the Cuban vote the same way they treat the black vote: Both parties make noises trying to curry favor with them, while in reality, one party ignores them and the other takes them for granted. If we can do that with the blacks, why can't we do that with the Cubans? Then we could have a sensible Cuba policy that would work for the economic benefit of both countries.

Nah, makes too much sense.
