The reason there's not a dictatorship in Chile and that there's a democracy in South Africa and Portugal today - and that Haiti has a nascent democracy - is that the world community as a whole felt outraged. This is the reason Milosevic sits in a jail in The Hague. It's because the world has said, 'Enough.'

There is nothing to regret with a job well done.

Our policies should be to help develop civil society and increase contacts with people.

Joe Garcia

Scandals, corruption, partisan infighting - no wonder people have lost faith in Congress. I say enough is enough.

Joe Garcia

The truth is that the driver in policy is not the relationship between the United States and Cuba, but the relationship between Cubans, and that is far stronger than 50 years of intragovernment hostility.

I've been a loud voice as a Democratic leader for years, but that's not my job now. My job is to represent fishermen and farmers - everyone.

Joe Garcia

What you haven't seen from me are false attacks.

Joe Garcia

Visionless status quo policy towards Latin-America, particularly towards Cuba, has turned off a lot of people, and I think it's created an opening.

Joe Garcia

I think more civil society programs, more free enterprise, more contacts with their fellow brethren in Miami - that's good for the long-term, and that's an investment in America's long-term relationship with the Cuban people, not the Cuban government.

Joe Garcia

To say that I could manipulate one of the men who has shown the most courage before the Cuban government, who gets beaten every day, who did a hunger strike that freed political prisoners... I think that's absurd.

The Mariel boatlift was probably one of the most strengthening events of the exile community; maybe Nietzschean, in the sense that if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.

In undergraduate school, I chose a career path that always leads to certain unemployment: I majored in politics and public affairs with a double-minor in philosophy and history.

Joe Garcia

If you give everybody a good government job, there's no crime.

Joe Garcia

Right here at home, we have seen what happens when a politician breaks that public trust, when they are dishonest and corrupt.

Joe Garcia

The Democratic voters of the 26th district know me well, and I am confident I will have their support.

The last time the Diaz-Balarts were removed from power, it took a revolution, and we ended up with Fidel Castro.

More people die on a yearly basis crossing the Florida Straits than ever died trying to cross the Berlin Wall.

Joe Garcia

The world's longest-serving dictator has just stepped down and handed over power. The national project of Cuba, which was Fidel's vision, is now finished. It's something - a small something, but still something.

Joe Garcia

I worked for the Cuban American National Foundation for years.

The people who support Mr. Curbelo's campaign are people who oppose Medicare and Social Security, want to reform it to take it away from our seniors, and oppose a minimum wage.
