Tweety is showing his stupidity AGAIN....

He actually said that he wants Cuba to admit "communism was a mistake" and he wants "the Castro brothers to pay for what they've done to the Cuban people".

This is the kind of NONSENSE that has dragged on this stalemate for half a century.

later on. However Cuba has been making very large strides on LGBT rights in the last ten years or so. Normalizing relationships with the US is going to be nothing but good for LGBT Cubans.

You never can tell which one is going to turn up on any given evening, anymore. I noticed that his guest last night gave him a shameless, overboard tout for the JFK book---no surprise, there.

I agree with others: it's time for Matthews to retire. Past time.

Thu Dec 18, 2014, 08:20 PM
Dec 2014

When Batista was in power most of the Cuban population were starving women sold themselves to feed their children. Children begged, had no education medical care or shoes. The class inequality was astounding

When Castro came in power all that changed. He said the people were much, much better than they were under Batista. I learned alot when I took his bus going back home after work.

Now I have visited Cuba the last few years and I did see some rundown parts, but nothing like the slums in parts of the USA or Mexico that I have seen.

It may get more expensive now for Canadians now that Americans will be able to come. That is okay. I had some wonderful times in Cuba. Lots of good memories. I am happy for the people of Cuba.

I wish his guest reminded Tweety that in the months leading up to the 2008 primary battle, Tweety was telling everyone and their brother that "IT'S GOING TO BE HILLARY VS. RUDY! YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!"

And an idiot.

He honestly believes the last vote shows where the country is at.

If they vote out Dems in a mid term it's NOT because of gerrymandering or e-voting or even the turnout. It's GOT TO BE because the country is turning conservative. Skewed polls showing Obama at under 50% means the love affair is over for our first black president. All politics to him is a SALES JOB and the winner is whoever is the best salesman.

When Jackson Brown sang, "They sell us the President the same way they sell us our clothes and our cars" Tweety doesn't even see anything wrong with that. Like that's the way it's SUPPOSED to be.
