Last time I checked, they've had solid control of both for the last
16 months, so why is this a Republican issue?

They never owned it to start with. � Just as you stole the indian
lands.

We DID own it - Cuba, that is. We won it fair and square through trial by
combat with Spain (think "Rough Riders" "San Juan Hill," "Battleship Maine,"
etc.).

Our mistake was not annexing the island - as we did Puerto Rico and Guam,
after 1898. We just "administered" the island until about 1902 when we
granted Cubans their independence.

When will you grant the Hawaiians their independence?
