Now that ACORN isn’t around to register the dead and Mickey
Mouse that’s one way to pick up 4 million votes.
I heard about this on Glenn Beck today. Anyone know if this will actually succeed?
Why would anyone in Puerto Rico want it to become a state? They don’t pay Federal income tax — as it is, half of PR thinks the US is taking advantage of them. They have the best of both worlds — no Federal Income tax and all the protection of the USA.
We all know what the dems are up to. They need votes. They know they’re toast. We MUST block voter fraud!
Called my Representative Adam Putnam(R) who is co-sponsoring this bill.
His staff member was polite but started to spew talking points about how this just lets the PR people make up their own minds. Well I lit into him at that point. I asked if they would please watch GB’s show this evening. They were aware of it and said that they were planning to watch it. Funny how the only place I have seen anything about this is on this site and Big Government. I am so upset tonight. I want to throw in the towel, cash in my chips and go to Australia! Does anyone think that Rush,Hannity or Fox is going to talk about this tomorrow?
Well...
the Kenyan DID say he would transform America for ever...
and the Kenyan’s wife said that the Kenyan would NEVER allow us to ever go back.
I support independence for Puerto Rico. They have their own 500 plus year old culture.
I’d rather have Guam.
ARGH!!!!!!! NOOOOO, I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Gosh, who would have figured that anti-abortion sentiment was so strong in a place where so many are Catholic.
Only one reason (well .. maybe two)
V O T E S ...... V O T E S ...... V O T E S
And .. for those CITIZENS of Puerto Rico who don’t speak ENGLISH .. spin city will be in overdrive.
THIS ISN’T PANIC MODE .. THIS IS TOTAL DESPERATION MODE.
That would change the Senate and the House and probably take a while to get the representatives elected thus probably postponing the upcoming mid term elections.
Of course this info may not be true.
This country is getting curiouser and curiouser.
They also want to give DC an electoral vote. This is a slap at state sovereignty and Federalism.
Unbelievable. Source is Breitbart's BigGovernment.com. Authors: Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King.
Welfare for all. Redistribute your money to San Juan! Castro for IRS CZAR!
OK, maybe I am just dense. I don’t understand what the issue is with this bill and why it is so horrendous. Part of me discounts it because Glenn Beck is practically incontinent when discussing it so it seems blown out of proportion. Can someone help me make sense of it??
Now they're using the country's last years of its existence as a globalist laboratory of a fascist police state akin to Nazi Germany.
Why not have Texas and PR just swap state/commonwealth statuses?
Win-Win.
Then Texas would have an easier time declaring it’s independance!
It would be interesting to project which states would lose a representative under this system. As I recall, Utah and Mississippi were marginal under the last redistricting...probably Maine, Massachusetts and/or Rhode Island as well.
