The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about.

Barbara Lee

Hey Barbara they don't have elections in Cuba

Who cares what this pseudo-American says? Do you think she or her ilk could tell you anything about this country or its principles?

Jim Jones took a pack of similar-minded idiots down to Guyana and worked them like slaves; small wonder when their leaders spout this BS...

She’s a friend of Sheila “Don’t you know who I am” Jackson-Lee. Both wackadoodles.

Then why didn’t you move there decades ago, Babs?

Oh, it’s not quite the “utopia” you make it out to be? What, there’s racism there?

Maybe you should choose somewhere else then. I heard Africa is accepting American “refugees”

Take someone with you

This Lee woman is the kind of communistic trash that’s alliwed to occupy our public offices (instead of prisons) nowadays. And they almost always shaft their onstituencies too - -as one look at Lee’s Oakland reveals

Hey Cuba, I just sent my condolences. I flushed twice but it still may take a while to get there.

The Cuban paradise has free health care and public education. I almost want to get in my innertube and head for Havana, except for the fact that there is so much traffic going the other way. Are the anti-Trump Hollywood types thinking of relocating there?

In another Bay Area website:

http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/11/26/congresswoman-barbara-lee-castro-should-be-mourned/

“We need to stop and pause and mourn his loss,” Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said

....

In her eight meetings with Castro over the years, Lee said, she found him to be “a smart man. A historian. He wanted normal relations with the United States but not at the expense of the accomplishments of the revolution.”

......

Now for my comments:

What were those accomplishments that Barbara Lee praises and now gives honor/mourning to Fidel Castro on? I think President-Elect Trump summed them up pretty well: “... firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.” I think the Democrats ought to ask her Barbara Lee to resign and disassociate themselves with her. Anyone who associates with Barbara Lee or supports her has no business complaining about anyone else’s associations.

Now what to do about Cuba going forward? I think we need to have open dialogue with their leaders and encourage as much cross-border interactions as possible by their people and ours. For starts, the Cuban people should come to this website so we can interact and communicate ideas back/forth about the various political factions in both our countries and globally. And we need to unrelentingly push them to have normal elections, real checks/balances, and real respect for the rights of their people. Once they fix those issues then we can lift the embargo.

"Lee is notable as the only member of either house of Congress to vote against the authorization of use of force following the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1]

This made her a hero among many in the anti-war movement.[2]

Lee has been a vocal critic of the war in Iraq and supports legislation creating a Department of Peace."

.and is extremely IQ-challenged. ..................... Impossible! Democrats are 110% smarter than Republican Deplorables. If you doubt it, just ask Ms. Lee.

That’s what I would like to know — Babs and all the other RAT-Commies who sing the praises of Castro and his Cuba.
