Yeah, but I think the majority was slim and turn out for that vote was less than half. Hence the general skepticism. I mean I'd like for them to sign on fully, but we're gonna have to put in a lot of work to make it worth their while.
Correct, from what I remember, most of the people who are against statehood boycotted the vote. It really is some complex stuff...I'm from there and for the longest time I wanted us to be our own country but I could see how that could end up further destroying things for those of us living on the island. Now, I'm leaning towards statehood, if only to try and get a tiny fraction of all that we've been owed. Ugh
WHY? It never should have been US territory in the first place. Not being a Puerto Rican resident, I have no say, but it would be better off as an independent nation, or in union with Cuba.
Save your remodeling receipts!
Fingers crossed.

Oh, Canada should totally do this. Imagine how awesome it would be for Canadians to go on tropical vacation without leaving the country!
Which is my hidden agenda. Warmth in January!
Joint Congressional hearings with subpoena power and invocation of contempt of Congress RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
Please.
VI, too
Glad they got their money. Now, make 'em a state (if that's what they want).
What ever happened to the idea of annexing the Turks and Cacos to Nova Scotia? Other than Canadians not really wanting any more black people, that is.

Ta, Liz.
Send Carson and Vought to Guantanamo until they answer every question
Gitmo is an unconstitutional abomination. It was opened to deny our captives their civil rights. It needs to go away.
