Corruption and stupidity are endemic within the Puerto Rican political class. Why we would want a third world, non-western, crime ridden, EBT card addicted polity as the 51st state is beyond me.

Why is it the U.K. media that’s reporting this?

Why? Because they are primarily democrat.

It shows idiocy doesn’t know political party. Democrats have Weiner, we have Arango.

No. FL and TX already has enough Spanish speakers with low IQs* and an addiction to the EBT card (a slight majority of PR's population uses food stamps) and a chip on their shoulder towards whitey. Let's give them to Cuba.

*The median IQ in Puerto Rico is 89.

Because US mainstream media reporters have their own explicit photos out there on homosexual sites.

lol

well, I think we’ve given enough away :P

I was just proposing an alternative to statehood, which would give them voting rights.

Poor, nonwhite, non-English speaking. The PR statehood party includes both Dems and RINOs but their common denominator is more bennies for their Third World turd of an Island via statehood. So yes, PR would be as Republican as Hawaii.

What do you mean “we” kemosabe? Arango and the coconuts who are the PR statehood party are leeches just as much as the PDP.

for anything important that happens in the United States you have to go to foreign media to get anything resembling the truth

Not a big issue really.

I would bet that going head to head with any single Puerto Rican, you would end up losing in the smarts dept, which would put you below 89 in the IQ ranking.

Somebody with the stereotypes that you have can’t be more intelligent than a rat, and I’m sorry if I’m insulting any well-to-do rats out there.

As a Puerto Rican, I am offended. However, you do have a right to be an idiot, and I am not about to deny you that.
