[Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul] Ryan said his Cuban-American colleagues in Congress have taught him “just how brutal the Castro regime is, just how this president’s policy of appeasement is not working.”
"In a Mitt Romney administration, we will not keep practicing this policy of appeasement, we will be tough on this brutal dictator. All it has done is reward more despotism,” Ryan said.
“We will help those pro-democracy groups. We will be tough on Castro, tough on Chavez. And it’s because we know that’s the right policy for our country.”
Romney took a similarly hard line against the Castro regime when he spoke to the U.S.-Cuba Democracy PAC here during the Florida primary in January, when he said he was anticipating Castro’s death.
