HELL NO! What's even more sickening is that they are letting PRs on the MAINLAND vote on this, since most are pro-statehood.

The Third Worldization of America continues...

I guess it is important to really pay attention to Obama’s gaffs. he might just be slipping up and divulging the Master Plan.

Now I wonder what 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, and 57 will be?

I think something like this gets introduced every year. There's no chance. I'm not even sure PR wants to become a state as they've passed EVERY time it comes up in their own legislature.

Don’t bother even lifting a finger. It doesn’t stand a chance.

They won’t get 60 votes...don’t worry about this. The Republicans are keeping controlled by their “say no” to everything which is good. They aren’t going to stop now.

I can’t believe no one is talking about this....well, except Beck.

Then again....it figures. Freakin’ pathetic MSM....couldn’t report the truth if their lives depended on it.

Oh wait....they pretty much do now. But, I digress...

The bill is completely rigged (believe it or not) to produce a fake “Statehood” vote.

The Puerto Ricans want Commonwealth Status, in numerous refendums.

It is all about adding two democrat Senators.

Do as they used to do, but this time to admit one Democrat State should require admitting one Republican State.

Admit both Puerto Rico AND Staten Island as 51 and 52.

Let’s give Hawaii back to Queen Latifa while we’re at it. That state is two automatic extreme Left Dems in the Senate.

I dunno. I think nObama right now wants to kick Arizona out of the Union, so adding Puerto Rico will keep us at 50 states.

They’re crazy if they do. As a commonwealth of the US, PR gets all the benefits of a citizen, but pays no income tax.

They think getting a vote will make a difference?

Not likely.
