Rand Paul Breaks With Rubio and Bush Over Cuba Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is the latest potential presidential candidate to weigh in on policy changes to Cuba and the libertarian leaning Republican's position splits from other Republicans who are also considering a presidential run.
Paul told Tom Roten of News Talk 800 in West Virginia that the 50-year embargo "just hasn't worked" and normalizing relations with the island nation is "probably a good idea."
"If the goal is regime change, it sure doesn't seem to be working and probably it punishes the people more than the regime because the regime can blame the embargo for hardship," he said.

Rand Paul will never be President of the United States. No man who claims that “normalization of relations” with a regime that is still led and inspired by tyrants who tortured and murdered their political opponents is a good idea not only lacks moral vision but is just plain stupid. He is not worthy to be the standard bearer of the Republican Party. Perhaps Rand Paul can be right behind the smiling Obama when he shakes the bloody hands of the Castro brothers. Obama can turn to him and wipe his hand on his shirt.
To: Steelfish
Just wait for him to give Castro the American installation at Guantanamo. This will happen before 2016.
He promised to shut it down and he will do it and give it away.

If they made MaryJane legal, Rand would lose 80 percent of his followers.
He supported Mitch, he is a snake in Hobbit clothing.
