Cuban-American lobbyists are singularly sleazy and underhanded, apparently
Virtually every industry and special-interest group from Insurance to Corn-farmers to big-labor to Israel-backers do it.
But just let those filthy, sleazy, underhanded Cuban-Americans try it!!!!
They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it!
We already reported on the effectiveness of our reps and the folks at Capitol Hill Cubans' lobbying--despite a virtual anti-embargo media monopoly.
So as usual, displeasure in Havana has quickly manifested itself in MSM articles of a certain tone.
Looks like McClatchy is doing most of the pro-castro lobbying.

You see they ran the same story in their papers only changing the names of the anti-castro reps so they can attack them.
Outrageous smear campaign orchestrated from Havana.
screw 'em. money talks, bulls**** walks. Listen, I don't like the embargo but what problem is it of anyone's that Cuban-Americans excercise their right to influence votes. As if Cuba didn't try to influence votes by spreading out their ag purchases to different sections of the country. What is the difference between our direct and obvious support and the nefarious way Cuba went around to doing things.
