The other day we had word that Castro had finally died. It was a rumor. I’ve decided the man will never die. He’s been a dead man walking for at least a year and yet he just keeps on popping up every time the rumors start that he’s finally gone on to his … reward.
This time he has reemerged and he’s endorsing a Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama ticket for the 2008 election.
Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.
Clinton leads Obama in the race to be the Democratic nominee for the November 2008 election, and Castro said they would make a winning combination.
“The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate,” he wrote in an editorial column on U.S. presidents published on Tuesday by Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper, Granma.
At 81, Castro has outlasted nine U.S. presidents since his 1959 revolution turned Cuba into a thorn in Washington’s side by building a communist society about 90 miles offshore from the United States.
He said all U.S. presidential candidates seeking the “coveted” electoral college votes of Florida have had to demand a democratic government in Cuba to win the backing of the powerful Cuban exile community.

Like they say, you know people by the company they keep.
I suppose that would be a winning combination for Castro - or his party because I can’t imagine that he will continue to survive that long. I’m actually not convinced he’s still around, no one has seen him in public for a year and he was obviously wasting away with colon cancer then. He is only using written communications at this point. What do y’all think? Do you think they are just doing a Weekend at Bernie’s kinda thing with him?
As an aside, I thought it was interesting that he brought in Spanish doctors in hopes of getting effective treatment for his illness. I’m just thinking about Michael Moore asserting that Cuba has such an exemplary medical system, yet the dictator himself brings in foreign doctors to try to get help. Can you imagine the kind of medical care the underlings of that country get?
Why is it our enemies will always side with the Dems and the left wing nuts…?
AubreyJ………
Yeah ! What Aubrey said ! B-)
Since when did this Country give a shit about who a freaken Son of a bitch like Castro picks as the winning ticket? I can remember the time when we would do the opposite of anything that scum like Castro wanted.
Doesn’t that endorsement tell anyone anything?
Maybe it’s payback for when Janet Reno used Fascist style tactics with storm troops and M16’s rifles to crash into the families house in Miami in the middle of the night and GRAB Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. I do not doubt for one minute , that Hillary gave Reno that order.
