WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two of the leading Republican voices on U.S. foreign policy, on Wednesday denounced President Barack Obama's plans to ease U.S. restrictions on Cuba.
The policy shift reflected "America and the values it stands for in retreat and decline," they said in a statement, one of several issued by Republicans seeking to line up against the change in policy.
"It is about the appeasement of autocratic dictators, thugs, and adversaries, diminishing America’s influence in the world," said McCain and Graham.
No truth to the rumor that Marco Rubio and Rick Scott will head a Vichy-style government to be established in the panhandle along the Redneck Riviera, leaving the rest of the state to hang in a chad-like manner as a Cuban annexation.
