I don't just want a candidate that says he/she will close Guantanamo

[cali]

I want a candidate that says we'll cancel are lease with Cuba and let them have their entire country back. It really pisses me off that we're occupying Cuba.

1. And you're chances of getting that candidate are....?

More or less than zero? Nobody on this planet would campaign on giving back land.

Btw, a candidate for federal office in the United States is supposed to represent the interests of the United States, not those of ANY foreign power, which is what you just suggested.

2. There's a pretty good argument that imperialism is not in our best interest.

The same could be said, of course, for simply doing the right thing.

3. I realize that the odds of getting what I want here are zip to none

It just strikes me as profoundly wrong that we're occupying another country under a deal made with a gov't long gone, and against the wishes of the citizens of that country. It's NOT our land.

4. I'm all for that cause it pisses me off too

the whole fucking deal with Cuba pisses me off. What kind of a threat can Cuba be to us, except of course civil unrest like what will happen when people really do wake the hell up here in america

[cali]

5. Of course it's no threat, but the occupation

of a country that doesn't want us, is the main issue for me. It's indefensible.

[madokie]

9. I agree with that too

sadly today that would be any country where we have a presence at I would bet. the uniter has united the world against us which is exactly what he/they wanted from the git go. when he was talking that shit the ones who bought it thought he was talking about them but no not the decider because in every message he gives it's given with a forked tongue. rummy summed it up pretty good with his known unknown known diatribe

6. I want one who will REPUTIATE Guantanamo and all that it stands for....

Preferably one who will prosecute the war criminals responsible.

[stranger81]

7. Hallelujah -- that's exactly what needs to be done.

Unfortunately, given the power of the Cuban "exile" community in this country, it's not likely to happen in my lifetime.

[The Stranger]

8. I would add "and prosecuting every criminal involved in the prison camp."
