PR does not want it.
America does not want it.
The Enemies of America and the US Congress, who are
partners in crime, are both eager to shove this, too,
down the throats of captive Americans.

Always remember that when they force stuff down your
throat, you’re gonna end up as pate.
Same crowd!
Do you know what voters in PR don’t want? The current territorial status, which got 0.1% of the vote in the 1998 plebiscite. And full independence is supported by less than 5% of the population. Voters in PR are split among those that want statehood, with a of its rights and obligations, and those that want the U.S. to continue to send billions of dollars to PR while continuing ti grant U.S. citizenship to all who are born there but not to levy federal income taxes on the Island’s residents. If your home state was given the option of not having to pay federal income taxes in return for not having voting representation in Congress, but would still receive billions of dollars in subsidies, don’t you think that you could convince half of the voters to take the deal for as long as Congress was stupid enough to offer it?
Conservatives are being short-sighted and foolish by supporting the ingrates that want the benefits of U. S. citizenship and subsidies without the responsibilities, all because of the myth that voters in Puerto Rico would vote the same as second- or third-generation descendants of Great-Depression-Era PR migrants to NYC or Chicago. The electorate in PR is most similar to that of Louisiana—pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-military, but economically populist, protectionist on trade matters, and tolerant of a certain level of corruption. Louisiana (LA) is a classic swing state, voting for the winner in every presidential election berween 1972 and 2004, and it would not surprise me if PR had voted the same way as LA in those elections. PR-born voters in Central Florida gave comfortable majorities to Jeb Bush in 2002 and George W. Bush and Mel Martinez in 2004 (the 2004 exit polls showed Puerto Ricans in Central Florida giving 50% of the vote to Bush, but like 1/3 of them were mainland-born Puerto Ricans that largely voted for Kerry), and in PR right now the Governor, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House, the Mayors of the 100+ population cities of San Juan, Bayamon, Ponce, Guaynabo, Arecibo and Toa Baja, and majorities in both houses of the state legislature are Republicans. No one can predict with certainty how the electorate in PR will vote if the Island becomes a state, but it is far likelier that they will elect one Senator from each party and 3 Representatives from each party than the all-Democrat delegation that people ignorantly assume that PR would elect.
There are at least 20 states that you should support kicking out of the Union before even considering keeping PR out because it isn’t conservative enough.

Our current Congress are nothing but vampires! Every evil done in the dark of night. If it weren’t for Beck’s show, I wouldn’t have even known about this!
