Bend over cause here it comes again.  Roosevelt wanted to stack the court, Obama has a better idea.

Playing The Puerto Rico Card

Politics: Faced with losing Congress, the Democrats want to make Puerto Rico a state whether the people want it or not. The Democrats would get two new senators, new congressmen and a campaign issue.

Throw in voting representation for D.C., amnesty for illegals and voting for felons, all items on the Democrats' agenda, and in their cookbook you have a recipe for Democratic majorities as far as the eye can see. It's a plan to retain control at all costs and counteract a Tea Party movement that threatens to throw their big-government liberalism on the ash heap of political history.

You also have the added bonus of energizing Hispanic activists all too eager with administration help to paint the GOP as racists, particularly in the light of the new Arizona law that does nothing but say that since the feds dropped the ball on border security, Arizona will pick it up and run with it.

The PR Democrat primary had 380,000 voters, the GOP primary had 5,000.

That is why the Dems want them to have statehood.

Statehood should not be decided according to the wishes of Democrats to have more votes.
