Ron Paul Campaigning to a Cuban Grandmother

[alienwarefan]

ron paul!!!

[pabface]

BTW.. I'm surprised that your mom's first question wasn't "El es Republicano?" LOL. Like my dad. I asked my dad, "What do you think of Ron Paul?" You know what he said? "Cuando el Republicano esta en el poder, Fidel le tiene miedo."

We can educate them though. You work on your mom and I'll keep working on my dad. 

Thanks for posting this.

[pabface]

You kept saying "mama". Sorry.

[RodriguezVacas]

hahah MAMAMA haha 3 ma-ma-ma...lol

[pabface]

Keep up the cause!

[pabface]

Very good points being made here. I understand both sides. What we need is to educate our people and give them hope. Not hope of Cuba going back to the way it was pre-Castro, but hope of what Cuba COULD become after he is gone. Most Cubans know only one thing.. Castro is the devil. And without him, there would be liberty for all Cubans.

I pray for a brighter, better future for Cuba. And I think the time is coming soon!

My point is though....cubans for the most part arnt stupid or evil. just misled and brainwashed due to their history...their innability to understand the real meaning of liberty. but we must try to educate them. IT IS AN IDEALOGICAL BATTLE!

RON PAUL 2008!

[xxdynamo]

they never had it in cuba. NEVER! EVER! under batista? no. under US occupation? no. under spanish occupation? no. NEVER HAD FREEDOM IN CUBA! so its hard for these "broken" people to understand what libert and freedom is and so it might seem self justified for some to proudly carry the axe of fascism because to them it means the opposite of FIDEL.

[xxdynamo]

Also as foreigners ( which very few who have assimilated and understand american culture) know what the founding fathers of this country, intended. Hey, my tia y tio dont even speak english, how would they understand what "real liberty" is?

[xxdynamo]

Cubans thoughout history have been competely brainwashed...like many others in the world though. Cubans in miami, are controled by a very small minority of elite such as the BAcardi's who tell them what to think.

[Salvatrucho213]

Cuban Americans what a bunch of human garbage! They gave the fucking 2000 election to Bush! Cuban Americans should not be allowed to vote they are too stupid to vote. My respect to real Cubans though. Fidel does need to give freedom to his people and democracy.

[RodriguezVacas]

please dont insult us...please realize there are cuban americans involved in a civil war within our own community...we need your support not attacks...yes u support real cubans...but please tone it down a lil...i support u but u dont help us on your side when u attack so hard cuz it turns off alliances...but i get your point...we are in a ideaological battle in our community.

[Salvatrucho213]

They gave Bush the damn election 7 years ago. The Latino vote in Florida = gave Bush power. I had respect for Cuban Americans but until 2000 I didn't like them at all. The majority are hard core Republicans and dangerous. I recognize the background they have gone through. Fidel is a tyrant who needs to give freedom to his people but it doesn't give Cubans the right to fuck up this nation and turn it into a fascist state.

[RodriguezVacas]

I know sir, i know...let he who is without sin cast the first stone...some of us made mistakes...but what is important is that we are waking up now...and we need you to help those of us on the front lines within the community because it is I not you who is in the battle in the middle of neo-con miami ...

[Salvatrucho213]

So you really think Cuban Americans are going to wake up from the fascist dream they have? I doubt it. There is too much hate there towards the left. I think Cuban Americans are possibly more conservative than the bible nuts in this nation. But if you think they will wake up good luck with your battle. But hate is not easily erased or eradicated.

[locobugz]

great vid!!! It's time to try something different cuba the embargo has not worked, it only punnishies the people

[cstrikeshogun]

OMG!!! Your grandma ROCKS!!! She's too cute! I almost pee'd myself when I heard her say "He's not as handsome as Ronald Reagan". hahaha!!!

Long Live Ron Paul! The Next President of the United States of America!!!!

[cubanexile66]

Nice vid, in your next vid ask her about how Ron Paul would have talks with Fidel and Chavez if elected and the possibility of free trade with the socialistic countries. I have a feeling she would change her tune about him. I agree with Ron on that issue how about you and granny.

[RodriguezVacas]

All i have to do is remind her how the Holy Catholic Church condemns all cruel EMBARGOS and Sanctions against Nations...so Ill tell her Ron Paul follows same politics of peace as John Paul 2 ... and since she is a faithful Catholic...i dont think she will change her mind...

[cubanexile66]

cool, but that angle wont worng with my parents, theyre hardcore on maintaining the embargo, got to think of some other way, ceeya

[SmartAssMasochists]

haha!! too funny..

"he (ron paul) is not as handsome as ronald reagan"

"bueno pues vete a ron paul, a te une appointment""ha..!

was cracking up... all cubans need to be told that Ron Paul is the only real REPUBLICAN candidate.. and that Barrack Osama is a communist friend of Castro. and that giuliani makes fun of quadriplegics.....

[LadyKofNYC]

Haha. So funny how your gandmother lights up everytime she says Ronald Reagan's name.

You should show her the pictures of Ron Paul with Ronald Reagan.

[influsion]

That was funny. At first I thought you were badgering her... but at the end it looks like you were all just having fun.

[ic3m4n120679]

your grandma rocks! i loved the vid. great recruiting, also. you have a wonderful family. RON PAUL 2008!

[mariasweaver3]

This was such a joy to watch. I couldn't take the smile off my face. Another convert. Go Ron Paul rEVOLution!

[h2sammo]

haha my gf is from ecuador and were having a blast watching your video man...good job.

[bbburton]

I wish everyone were that easy to convince. RON PAUL for PRESIDENT!

[WayTooMuchPressure]

Ron, like...R-r-ron!

lol. funny stuff, I'm voting for Dr. Paul, also.

[VoteLiberty]

Okay, THIS should be a HIT video among ALL Ron Paul supporters. As a child born in Miami of Cuban exiles myself, I know this is a 100% authentic chat. You did a TREMENDOUS job capturing an incredible and funny moment that ALL Hispanics MUST see in order to see how Ron Paul is crossing the culture divide even into an otherwise stubborn Cuban exile generation that grew up believing Republicans were always good and Democrats always bad.

Please give this video the credit it deserves!
