What Raul didn't say:

You're repeating yourself by quoting the propaganda web site,
again that proves nothing.

Just read up Freddy.
Links to the Cuban law and even quotes from Cuban ministers.

Cherry picked and taken out of context.

Nope.
The Cuban electoral law is fully quoted and the quotes are neatly
referenced


Neatly cherry picked, yes. Thanks for the neatness, but neatly
told
lies are of no use to honest people.

When you have a field
of 2 to 8 candidates you have to vote to determine which one it will
be.

all "2 to 8" "cherry puicked" and pre-selected.

By the people. It's called democracy. Other nations should try
it,...
and the sooner the better.

Sorry WRONG... Picked by the CDR under orders from Havana and usually
nowhere near 8. In 90% of elections Cubans get ONE to pick from - OR ELSE.
Sometimes 2, and the winner is predetermined, # 2 gets a different plumb as
consolation. Usually a management level job.
