>> Did you know that Puerto Ricans living in the States get to vote in the island elections? How accomodating!

And, of course, Puetro Ricans that never left the island get to vote for primary elections in the states! George W. Bush won the "Puetro Rican primary" by a nice margin. I think they got eight delegates or something. I guess non-taxpayers in a non-state get more representation than some people who actually LIVE and WORK in the United States!

I'd be glad to vote to have Florida change from state to commonwealth status. Then I'd pay now income tax. My vote for Pres. or Congress doesn't count anyway since I usually vote Libertarian. As a bonus, the condo commie DemocRATS in South Florida wouldn't be screwing up any more elections!
