Quote of the Day, Rethug Civil War Edition


"Senator Marco Rubio believes the embargo against Cuba has been ineffective, yet he wants to continue perpetuating failed policies. After 50 years of conflict, why not try a new approach? The United States trades and engages with other communist nations, such as China and Vietnam. Why not Cuba? I am a proponent of peace through commerce, and I believe engaging Cuba can lead to positive change. Seems to me, Senator Rubio is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. I reject this isolationism. Finally, let's be clear that Senator Rubio does not speak for the majority of Cuban-Americans. A recent poll demonstrates that a large majority of Cuban-Americans actually support normalizing relations between our countries." --  Kentucky Sen. "Ayn Rand" Paul, in a tweet blasting Florida Sen. and thirsty gusano Sen. Marco "Glug Glug" Rubio for his ossified, reactionary position on normalizing relations with Cuba.  The shots exchanged between the two likely contenders for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016 expose just one of the cracks in the Rethuglican / New Confederate / Stupid Party's facade.
