WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the President’s announcement to change U.S. policy with Cuba and lift economic embargos.
“We rejoice that Alan Gross’ wrongful imprisonment by the brutal Castro regime has finally come to an end, and that he will be able to spend the holidays with his loved ones. But make no mistake, although we are glad Alan is now free, the agreement the Obama Administration has entered into with the Castro regime has done nothing to resolve the underlying problem. Indeed, it has made it worse.
“Fidel and Raul Castro have just received both international legitimacy and a badly-needed economic lifeline from President Obama. But they remain in control of a totalitarian police state modeled on their old state sponsor, the Soviet Union. Their government can continue to detain individuals like Alan Gross indefinitely without process—as the many political prisoners still languishing in the Castros’ prisons can attest. They retain their close, long-standing ties with hostile nations, notably Russia, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela. They will continue their support for terrorist organizations from FARC to Hezbollah and Hamas.
“The President spoke today about a new era for relations between American and the Cuban people, but these circumstances do not bode well for either. We have seen how previous Obama administration attempts at rapprochement with rogue regimes like Russia and Iran have worked out, with our influence diminished and our enemies emboldened. Now they are revisiting this same disastrous policy with the Castros, blind to the fact that they are being played by brutal dictators whose only goal is maintaining power. And if history be our guide, the Castros will exploit that power to undermine America and oppress the Cuban people. First Russia, then Iran, now Cuba – this is one more very, very bad deal brokered by the Obama Administration.”

Well said Ted!
Wait until Bammy recognizes the Taliban State.
The libs are running a WELL orchestrated propaganda campaign about this on Twitter< RIGHT NOW...
Remember kiddies, this is how left media EVERYWHERE gets there talking points to feed to the sheeple.
Get on Twitter NOW, and use this hashtag:
#CubanLivesMatter
Barack Obama is truly the most vile and evil creature i’ve ever heard of. Obama is destroying America and freedom
Released from Cuba...Alan Gross, with atty Scott Gilbert & spokeswoman Jill Zuckman, prepping his speech to deliver after arriving in US...
Now that Rubio and Cruz have spoke out, anyone want to guess what Rand will say, either ‘NUKE em from ORBIT’, or ‘it’s about time Obummer did something to advance Sec. Kerry’s travel miles’.
Why is terrorist Che in the background? Note photo on wall...
See post 8.....picture of terroist Che on the wall and above that one is Fidel Castro golfing with Che Guevara!
So what’s wrong with this entire thing Obama’s pullig off!
[ Well said Ted! ]
You are onto something...
“WELL SAID TED 2016”
I like it!
Not as much as I like Ike, but pretty catchy.
ABC news just quoted two of the senates Cuban-Americans, Marco Rubio and Mr. (hey there little girl) Mendez....
They totally ignored Ted Cruz....
Didn’t Obama also give up a bunch of bad dudes in a trade to get Bergdahl who is most likely a deserter and traitor?
How are conservatives going to be able to fix ALL of this leftist crap, and then, truly, become the pro-conservative country that the majority of LEGAL U.S. VOTERS want, in the first place?
Ted, yer the best.
I disagree.
While the Castros need this economic lifeline, the people need a chance, opportunity for some change and economic growth.
Fk the Castro’s and their acolytes.
Someone and probably several, will step up to bring Cubans into the 21st Century, while harkening back to the days of Cuba being a destination..
Not just for whore hungry Europeans, who take advantage of women, and by extension, their families.
Rebuild Cuba, Rebuild the connections of these families and rebuild their spirit of hope.
Is the pic on the mug of pencils Obama?
Good lord, what kind of ray gun is that laying on the
table???
I think it’s probably of of those “seriously do some damage”
tazers from the looks of it....but some of our military guys would know exactly what that is.
