I wish Cruz the best, and I hope all goes well for him, but, oddly, just like Rubio, his father was not a refugee - and unlike Rubio, Cruz’s father was a domestic terrorist in Cuba - both Rubio and Cruz have fudged the details on their fathers’ backgrounds and tried to present them as one of the millions of Cubans who fled the brutal communist tyranny of Fidel Castro. But both fathers came here as economic immigrants before Castro came to power.
Lies like this disturb me.
Have a nice day.
Where did you ever hear Cruz claim his father was a Cuban refugee? In his speeches, he tells his family’s story, and it is not the one you are telling. We have followed the career path of this outstanding young man and have nothing but admiration for what he has accomplished with his intellect and courage.
I call into question your slander of his good name.
I think that Ted Cruz will do us all proud. I think that both his heart and his mind are in the right place.
Interesting how you have researched the background of these two honorable men, and their familial anomalies.. Because I admittedly do not have either of these two gentleman’s background at hand, I will assume what you say is true..
That being said, I’m sure you are also aware that the conditions in Cuba, pre Castro, was not anywhere close to an Island Paradise either.. In fact, Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar , was a brutal Dictator, almost as corrupt as the cabal that the current Obama administration, (shadowy Chicago thugs, with dubious organized crime connections, mafia controlled Unions, Acorn, Soros, the Muslim Brotherhood etc) has pulling the strings of our government..
It was as popular to fight, or flight, the island back then as it became after Castro.. Most of the residents knew Castro, who was well known, wasn’t going to be much better, and as it turned out, much, much worse..
Don’t vote for his father
Even if they left before Castro (D-Havana) took over, they certainly wouldn’t have gone back. Kind of like German Jews emigrating to America in 1932 before Hitler took power.
The revolution started in late 1957, my husband and I were honeymooning in Key West in Dec of ‘57. We had planned to take the short hop over to Havana as part of our trip when the news of insurrection showed up. I always regret we didn't go but maybe it was a wise decision.
Get off of this bad mouthing of Cruz or someone is going to call you a dem plant.
Source?
Thanks for the info.
Texans are always looking for Noo Yack Yankees to tell us how to vote.
