Political Quotes

“a portion of the infrastructure of Fidel Castro in the United States is here in Washington today to promote the lives and propaganda of the regime. They will speak of a political embargo on the sending of food and medicine from the U.S. to Cuba while never mentioning an unkind word about the regime. But, once again, Mr. Speaker, let us set the facts straight. There is no embargo on food and medicine going to Cuba. The United States is, in fact, the largest humanitarian aid donor to Cuba, sending more aid to the island than all of the other nations in the world combined. If there are no medicines in Cuba, why do foreign tourists with hard currency receive top-quality health care on the island? If there is a shortage of food in Cuba, why do luxury hotels pamper tourists with world-class meals? If there are no medicines in Cuba, why has Castro exported $300 million in medicines over the past 2 years? Do not believe the propaganda. The only embargo that has to be lifted is the embargo on freedom, human rights, and democracy that the Cuban dictator has imposed on the people of Cuba.”
