Reagan was in favor of it, I was about 25 years ago but I do not want to have two more Dem Senators.

Bush 41 was for Statehood too...

I remember his jingle when he ran for President in 1980 (Republican Puerto Rico Primary)... I was 14 years old, but I remember it like it was yesterday:

"Me gusta George Bush porque dice 'Estadidad Ahora!'

Me gusta George Bush por su gran sinceridad

Y porque Puerto Rico estado es lo que quiero

En las primarias, mi voto es por George Bush"

Loosely translated:

I like George Bush because he says 'Statehood Now!'

I like George Bush for his great sincerity

And because I want Puerto Rico to become a state

In these primaries, my vote is for George Bush.
