The next referendum will be two choices, statehood or independence.
Guess which they’ll choose.
It was the weasel Eric Cantor’s vote for that bill that made me determined to see that he was removed from office.
Why the hell would Bush want more RAT senators, RAT reps and RAT electoral votes by giving statehood to Puerto Rico?
OK - Jeb Bush is just doing a bit. It’s gotta be some kind of comedy routine. It’s like he’s looking for way to alienate conservatives. Some time before the convention he’s gonna say “Just kidding folks”
This is the Bush that has no ‘gravitas’.
The more this guy opens his mouth, makes his brother look smarter and smarter all the time....
Where would we put another star on the American flag? That would cost taxpayers a fortune for the flag change.
But,but,but it’s the most pressing issue of the day!!
Sheesh Jeb is such a LOSER!
Karl Rove has snatched his body.
Jeb is mighty interested in Hispanic issues. How about the rest of us, Jeb. Oh never mind, doesn’t matter, you won’t get the job anyway. We’ll make sure of that.
That picture is just hilarious! It couldn’t be PHOTOSHOPPED any better! Lol
We don’t need another “shallow” thinker in our White House.
Technically, residents of Puerto Rico are not citizens so long as they reside in Puerto Rico. They are US subjects, living in a US territory, with only part of the rights of a full citizen.
But upon entering any of the United States that have been admitted to the Union, they assume the mantle of citizenship, and once residency is established, have all of the rights of any other US citizen.
People from Jamaica or Bermuda or Haiti do not have that same privilege.
Ahm your captain.
Puerto Rico has the best of both worlds as a “Commonwealth”, period.
Same currency, citizenship, no taxes, protection of the USA.....representation in Congress but no vote is a very small price to pay for all of the ‘goodies’ they get.
That is the opinion of the Puerto Rican intelligentsia.
Well according to Obama, we have 57 states. I still see 50 stars in the flag :)
They have the right to vote whether they want to be a state and we have the right to decide if we want them to be a state.
