Varela Project counterproductive
Presidential hopeful John Chancletero Kerry stated the Varela Project - a democracy movement led by a Cuban dissident Oswaldo Payá - is counterproductive.
Apparently, a peaceful grass-roots and constitutional effort for democracy in Cuba is bad according to the man who represents the epitome of democracy - the Democratic party.
I can't believe the American people would allow themselves to be hoodwinked by a man the likes of Kerry.
Pathetic.

I guess guerilla warfare is the only way to go. Sounds a bit discouraging to say the least.

"They began a petition drive to call for a national plebiscite on five basic human rights: free speech, free elections, freedom to worship, freedom to start businesses, and the freeing of political prisoners."
Doesn't sound like unreasonable demands to me.

I'm glad you blogged about this -- when I read David Brooks's article in yesterday's NYT I nearly cried.

I am going to redouble my efforts to convince family and friends that John Kerry is not an acceptable choice to lead the free world. This is outrageous and I'm going to shout it from the rooftops... --s

Yeah, I'm a Kerry supporter and that "counterproductive" comment ticked me off. I'm awaiting the elaboration. It had better be a good one.
