This is the post that set you off last night. if your are, as you say, such a big supporter of the Cuba move, then there would be no reason to disagree with anything in my post. I told you I was aware of Cuban violations and that they weren't a 'deal breaker' to me. That should have been the end of it. Look at your posts after this one:

Yes, really. The Cuban Embargo did not accomplish what it was intended to accomplish and the most enthusiastic supporters of it have always been Republicans.
It IS grudge nurturing, and that IS the what the GOP is best at.
It is also the foreign policy equivalent of supply side economics.
Neither are reality based.

Quote: In the months since the Obama administration announced its policy change toward Cuba in December, nearly every GOP presidential candidate has come out with a statement denouncing normalization. Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal and Mike Huckabee have joined Bush and Rubio in denouncing the restoration of full diplomatic ties.
Rand Paul has been the only outlier, a position that caused a scuffle with Rubio earlier this year.
"After 50 years of conflict, why not try a new approach?" Paul wrote in a Dec. 19 Facebook statement. "The United States trades and engages with other communist nations, such as China and Vietnam. Why not Cuba?"
