Yes, this is the most pressing issue affecting the United States right now. Puerto Ricans speak Spanish.

What a buffoon.

Yes because language is the biggest issue facing PR these days.

If he wins the delegates there, we will know for certain there's got to be voter fraud on a mass scale in the GOP primaries.    HTH is Santorum getting away with this when the economy is still the biggest issue facing most every American in one way or another?  I honestly think the GOP can write 2012 off if he gets the nomination.

Lets set aside that he's making this an issue.


He goes to Puerto Rico on a campaign visit looking presumably for votes, and lectures that they need learn English if they want to become a full state? (they hold a vote on the issue in November)

This is how he hopes to win votes?

How on Earth is Romney losing so many states to this moron?

I was always under the impression that PR wanted no part of statehood.  Hmm. Guess I was mistaken.

How did McCain get the nomination in '08?  Why did McCain pick Palin as a running mate?

I think Forrest Gump said it best:  "Stupid is as stupid does."

Maybe he's surrounded himself with yes men and they're telling him what he wants to hear.

"They want to be a state and they want to force themselves to speak English.  They understand it's what Jesus wants...and Go Ricky!"

One could look at my new inability to vote in primaries as giving up a right.  I far more prefer to think of it as a gift to not be immediately associated with the likes of Scrotorum. 

[we vs us]

I don't really think Santorum was talking to the PR GOP.  I don't know how many delegates they can assign but certainly it can't be many.  Stuff like that, the "real Americans speak English" stuff, will carry a lot of weight with mainland delegates, and it sure did get enough media coverage to carry back to the people that need to hear this stuff (from his perspective, anyway).

He's Mormon.

I have had some of the Texas contingent - more than one - tell me outright that while they could live with the idea of their daughter marrying a black man now, they wouldn't stand for a Jew or a Mormon.  These are the extreme right wing that are voting "anyone but Mitt" for Santorum and Gingrich.
