Yes - Cuba IS democratic

by Mc Coler
votes are in

If any of you doubters haven't yet pulled your heads in, we have it confirmed. Cuba is democratic and their people have embraced socialism.
HAVANA (AP) — The president of Cuba's parliament equated socialism with democracy Thursday as he received more than 8 million signatures collected for a constitutional change declaring that the island's socialist system is ``untouchable.''

Ricardo Alarcon said the parliament would welcome the proposed constitutional amendment when it meets July 5.

``Only socialism offers the possibility of a real democracy; today is a historic day,'' Alarcon said after receiving boxes of signatures representing more than 99 percent of Cuba's legal voters. The boxes arrived in 23 vehicles, each identified with the name of a different province



99%!

OK. I know that there was no option. You either signed it or you didn't. Voting by petition.

But they managed to get "signatures representing more than 99 percent of Cuba's legal voters."

And the shruby bush dictator is fixing the poles here in the u.s. (it wouldn't be the first time), I'll bet you plus I’ve been to Cuba stayed there 7 months in 94 (had to sneak out of the u.s. to get there) and I met a lot of different people and everyone I talked to really liked their country. It was not fixed I could tell, I roamed around the street and meet people to stay with, stayed with four different families two different girls a hotel some one was running out of there converted house and every one I met really liked the way things where there you can tell if people are faking it, the people where real nice and well educated zero homeless and Havana is a BIG city lots of culture, plays and stuff. In contrast, here in the u.s. I’ve lived in 6 different states and 7 out of 10 people I've known think this country is messed up and run like shit. I lived in Miami too and the cubans there are mostly scum low-life thieves like the elion G. miami relitives-typical drug addicts/dealers totally different than Cuba Cubans. Oh yea no drug problem in Cuba that I could see not like Miami

Yeah, there is no drug problem there because Castro understands narcopolitics better than any American ever will as long as they remain brainwashed by those in power.

Imagine what Cuba would be if the US didnt do everything it could do destroy it, limit its ability to provide medicine to noncombatant civilians, etc. It is a disgusting economic war against innocent people, and Americans who do not see this as terrorism are idiots.
