“So, please show me polls that reveal how anti-leftist Puerto Rico is”

I don’t know of any polls on this but I will tell you this. As fellow Freeper AuH2Orepublican explains, as a state, Puerto Rican voters would resemble Lousiana voters: Mostly Catholics and conservative in social issues such as abortiaon, marriage, gays, etc., liberal leaning in some economic issues such as welfare, pro-military (there are close to 200,000 LIVING veterans on the island (and many more deceased with survivors), and prone to graft.

I’ll look up paperwork to back this up.

It’s good debating with you and that’s why we’re here.

I think that it was Frank Luntz that conducted a poll in PR a few years ago that showed that a majority was conservative on every social issue except for capital punishment.

The challenge is that voters in PR vote members of the pro-statehood and pro-Commonwealth parties, so the Republican and Democrat brands would have the ability to sell themselves to voters without much baggage. If voters decide on the issues, I’m confident that they’ll choose thre GOP.

I agree. And debate requires time and preparation, unlike this bum-rush bill.
