Cuban-born author and anti-Castro activist says Barack Obama won't make any inroads with voters in the Cuban-American community by pushing a wealth redistribution message. That community, he says, is all too familiar with the consequences of such a policy.
Humberto Fontova has written several books on the communist regime and believes Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is desperate to make inroads among the Cuban-American community in Florida, 76 percent of which favor John McCain in recent polls.
Obama, according to Fontova, has said he wants to ease restrictions on family-related travel to Cuba and on the amount of money Cuban-Americans can send to their relatives in Cuba. However, Fontova contends Obama is not going to score many points with Cuban-Americans by touting his "redistribution of wealth" agenda.
"We have been there. When we hear these 'spread the wealth' sound bites, when we hear about the rich are bad, you know we say, 'Now where have we heard this before?' We heard it in Cuba, of course," he explains. "So that's why we're allergic to that type of talk because we have seen an extreme version of the Democratic platform taken to its logical conclusion. So, naturally we are concerned."
But Fontova believes there are still enough checks and balances in the American system to prevent what has happened in Cuba from happening in the United States.
Thank God for Cuban-Americans. They were the difference in 2000 between Bush and Gore. May they be the difference this year between Hussein and Mac.
Provided they don't control Congress, the Supreme Court, and most of the federal judgeships.
“checks and balances in the American system”
This guy gets it, his wording above is a bit innacurate - but I know what he’s referring to. This latest guy Tito gets it, The Cuban Nationals get it, the majority of Jews get it, 5 to 10% of Black People even get it, I get it, you get it, The Christian right gets it.
So here’s my question, will voter fraud be the downfall of our nation?
Cuban Americans would have stayed in Communist Cuba if they wanted redistribution of wealth.

You forgot the MSM.
Have you seen the bumper sticker
CUBA GOT CHANGE IN 1959
ONE NEWS NOW.com: "CUBAN-AMERICANS 'ALLERGIC' TO OBAMA-TALK" by Chad Groening (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Cuban-born author and anti-Castro activist says Barack Obama won't make any inroads with voters in the Cuban-American community by pushing a wealth redistribution message. That community, he says, is all too familiar with the consequences of such a policy.") (October 30, 2008)
I’m in Ohio so Voter fraud is talked about a lot here. Today they showed a high school loading up all the 18 year old seniors onto a bus and taking them to vote. The teacher was then bragging about what a great “learning” experience this was. All I saw was Obamanomics at work. Even the ability to vote is offered without the voter having to make any effort of his own. Take a day of work, get out of class for a few hours. I’m gettin’ pretty damn depressed though. What have we got .. a tired looking old man chosen for us by the MSM, and though I like her a lot, a not quite ready for prime time cheerleader.
They already have defacto control of that.
Chin up my man! There are more freedom-loving Americans then socialist drones. If we all vote, they cannot win. That's why they are trying to demoralize us with propaganda and cooked polls.
Vote November 4 and find every freedom-loving American you know who needs a ride to the polls and take them there yourself!
Well, You’re right about one thing, Im depressed too.
But when I know in my heart that the old white guy, and the pretty girl will do less harm to our nation, and may actually do something positive - even if by mistake- than the “O”..
I gotta go with the lesser of 2 evils. If you’re a Bob Barr or write in candidte supporter, I admire you for standing on that principal alone. Bob’s a little unhinged, but He’s cool enough. I wanted a Duncan Hunter / Rick Santorum type ticket myself, but I digress. We got stuck with this.
But, make no mistake about it, I for one like the cheerleader, and have far more respect for the old white guy than I will ever have for “O”, My vote is a no brainer.
Have no doubt I’m behind McCain 100%. I make that comment here because I know I’m among friends. In a room full of libs... well let’s not go there.
The lukers are out there, LOL..
Just don’t do anything anti Obamaisk and give any personal info..
“anti Obamaisk” lol, you have a way with words!
I first made up the term “Smacktard” back about 5 years ago, I’m sure I did’nt invent it, but as far as I was concerned, I owned it.
Libtard is just a natural prorgession I recently came up with using the earlier Smacktard.
Description of both follows.
Smacktard basically means when a person is actually smart, but acts stupid, or does something really dumb, and you just want to smak them upside the head and say “don’t be stupid”.
Libtard is almost the same thing except most of those folk can’t help it. But you still want to smack them for being stupid.
“anti Obamaisk” was an on the fly thing, I’d like to say that I was the only guy that came up with something catchy, but no, This guy, The Obamanation, Obamabite, etc.. A third grader could do this. This is how shallow the Obamatrotskyite is.
But anyway thanks for the ping.
Wasn’t Obama endorsed by Castro?
I’m sure that helped alot.
“”So that’s why we’re allergic to that type of talk because we have seen an extreme version of the Democratic platform taken to its logical conclusion. So, naturally we are concerned.””
A powerful statement right there.
Needs to be broadcasted nationwide pronto.
Russia got change in 1917.
And Hugo Chavez.
