I’m trying to understand....are people upset here with Rick because they disagree with what they said, or just because they think what he said will lose him votes?
Geez, where to start. 1) Do YOU want PR to be a state? I sure don’t. They would absorb way more tax dollars than they would contribute. Also, two more guaranteed Democrat senators. So why is he laying out a roadmap? 2) He shows how stupid he is when he says they should follow all “legal requirements for English”. There ARE no legal requirements for English. (Again, IMHO, there SHOULD be, but there aren’t).
Santorum, as a two-term incumbent Senator, lost by 18 points in his bid for a third term. 18 points!!!! Wrap your head around that. It was the biggest loss by an incumbent senator in 26 years. And THIS guy is the best we can do? Its downright depressing.
Speaking for myself only; I think it was an irrelevant and stupid argument that Rick somehow allowed himself to get led into ...sort of like Rick's personal views on contraception. He just shouldn't go there!!!
Rick should talk about the economy, the price of gas, balance of trade, monetizing the debt, Iran, ...the list goes on and on; but it doesn't (and shouldn't ever) include discussing why a traditionally Hispanic island's inhabitants should learn to speak English ...which most of them already do! ...plus they also have a relatively Conservative Republican Governor; Luis Fortuno.
