• In December 2007 Mitt Romney commented on Castro's
decision of not coming back to power saying even if Castro does
not come back Cuba's government will still remain the same brutal
regime it was for the past 49 years.
• He opined that Cuba's youth are still among the
constantly harassed and are subjected to violence and are under
the surveillance for demanding their political freedom. They
comprise the many political prisoners in Cuba today.
• According to him Cuba's future should be shaped by its
freedom loving youth and not Raul Castro or any of the Castro
cronies.
• He said that the US should continue with its present
policy towards Cuba until the country is free from the Castro
regime and all political prisoners are freed and the country
becomes a democracy initiating free and fair elections.
• During a speech in Miami Mitt Romney bungled the names
of Cuban-American politicians and became the object of ridicule.
• He also went further to disappoint the crowd when he
associated Castro's trademark speech ending slogan - 'Patria o
muerte, venceremos!' with a free Cuba. Castro had in fact closed
his speeches with the phrase in English for decades 'Father Land
or death we shall overcome'.
• Romney's fumble was looked upon as potential snags for
state and national politicians trying to navigate the Cuban
American Community in South Florida.
• Mitt Romney stresses that hundreds of Americans fought
and died for Cuba's freedom during President John F Kennedy's
rule and criticized Obama from shrinking from defending liberty
in the America's.
