<<When it comes to voting intentions, only 47.7 percent were "definitely" going to vote for Bush, according to the poll conducted in March. Before the 2000 ballot, 64 percent said they were definitely voting for Bush.


Discontent has been growing since Bush's administration sent back last year several would-be refugees who had hijacked a boat to get to the United States.>>

1. These fricking Cubans in Florida need to go live in Russia.

I know that's a freepish thing to say, but I am sick of their whining and one-issue voting. It's ridiculous.

2. Amazing

Doesn't anyone see the irony in this? That a superpower is held hostage by what just 450,000+ people think of a small island's dictator and thus electing a leadership that adversely affects the whole world?

hel-LO !!!

3. Everytime I read a story like this

I think about the shreaking hysterical woman at that house Elian stayed at.

4. Cuba slams Bush's 'putrid ideology'

Havana, Cuba

Cuba on Friday slammed United States plans to tighten sanctions on the communist country as "cruel and cowardly", with the Communist Party insisting it will stand strong against US President George Bush's "putrid ideology".

"His cruel and cowardly measures surely will impose some sacrifices on our people, but they will not stop for a single second its strides toward human and social goals" a Cuban Communist Party statement said.

US military planes will broadcast pro-democracy messages into Cuba as part of a plan Bush endorsed on Thursday to "hasten" Cuban leader Fidel Castro's departure.
