Sorry guys, you are so much alike that you will be treated almost as one and the same. The Sánchez Sisters each get their own category, because yes you can really tell them apart, but as far as I can see, and since i don’t get paid by the word, or at all, Mario and Lincoln Diaz Balart vote almost identically and hate Castro with the same intensity (Especially since familia are the biggest haters and the aunt was married to el Comandante himself giving them a cousin “Fidelito” ).
And just to further my point… not even the Miami Herald can tell them apart.
So here goes:
Childhood Traumas: Hating Fidel Castro and being related to him at the same time
Sueño Americano: Actually, their American Dream is in Cuba after Castro falls or dies and for them to return as heroes to luxurious living with servants and absolute power.
Random Quote: Lincoln, Florida’s 21: “As my late father, Rafael Diaz-Balart, whose wisdom far exceeded his formal education of five degrees from universities in Europe including one in this continent, would tell me, “In Afghanistan there is the Taliban,”.
Mario, Florida’s 25: “Once again, speaking on their behalf, at their request, we being leaders of the exile community, we being the members of Congress who represent this community…What needs to happen is that decrepit old, senile terrorist thug has to be moved aside and I think all of us know that that day is coming and it’s coming soon and it’s important that we all realize that the Cuban people are ready, willing and able to do their part and it’s up to us to again inform the world.”
Claim to fame: Being Latino Brothers in Congress and hating Castro…(Did i mention they are related?). Also called for impeaching Janet Reno over balserito Elián telenovela.
Was the First Latino to… Lincoln: In 1994, became the first Hispanic in U.S. history to be named to the Rules Committee. Mario: Looking for something to put here…open to suggestions.
Totally Random Factoid: Lincoln: Used to be prez of Young Democrats.
Random Award: Lincoln: “Commander of the Ouissam Alaouite Order” of Morocco, Mario: National Write Your Congressman Constituent Communication Award
Random link to official website: Mario: Has a hurricane warning on his congresional website
Lincoln: Now we know why he is know as the bigger brother
Legislation he has sponsored or cosponsored: Lincoln: . H.RES.834 : Waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules. Cosponsors (None) Mario: H.RES.193 : Expressing support to the organizers and participants of the historic meeting of the Assembly to Promote the Civil Society in Cuba on May 20, 2005, in Havana.
So if you still think they should each get their own category, see if you can tell which is which in this encantadora family picture.
