According to you so are Mexicans, people from Latin America, South America and Africa.
Please, don't educate me on Puerto Rico, as I work with a guy from there.

You're saying "they" as in all of them. That is not true. Some of them pay taxes to the US. The amount of money we give PR far exceeds the amount they send in.
Let's not pretend Puerto Rico is an asset.[/QUOTE]
Quit backtracking. In my original post I told you exactly who paid federal taxes and I never claimed it was all of them. I don’t disagree that PR takes more than they give but so do the majority of the states

Not backtracking. Dumbass said PR was the US and it is not. It is PR.
They can only vote if they move and have a permanent residence in the states. They cannot vote as a Puerto Rican citizen with a permanent address in Puerto Rico but, yes they can get an American Passport as can people of all US territories.
People from Mexico, Honduras, Africa, they all vote. The left says they should be allowed to vote because they're Americans. Then they backtrack on a message board. But they'll talk about voter suppression come next October. Voter suppression to a leftist is not allowing somebody from the Congo to vote in the American election.
I don’t recall this getting much coverage by the msm. Maybe if they had smirked??
That is how I feel and I wish I had done so. I did tell the little girl on the phone that UK was much too liberal for my money. I suggested she call someone who thinks like they do.
I went to UK many years ago but we had a host of UK professors back then that were very liberal. Especially in English and social sciences. I took a political science class and my professor was a commie from Eastern Europe. He was a Bernie Sanders type.
Already mentioned that earlier Kitty. Keep up. And yes they are American citizens
I don’t give a shit what the left says. If you are a citizen you are entitled to vote. If you are not a citizen, you shouldn’t have voting rights

And then you double downed on the dumbassery by suggesting they weren’t American citizens and didn’t contribute to the Treasury
Did not say they weren't, they have to be to get the Passport but, as I said, they cannot vote if they have a permanent address in Puerto Rico. Keeping up is not the issue, keeping your point straight is.
More fake news you believed. Trump is an excellent golfer. No need for a foot wedge.
Right? It really sucks having to get federal background checks and waiting 10+ days to vote.
I really want to see all the hoops he thinks you have to jump through to vote. A drivers license or an ID card is so unfair and tough to acquire.
Tell about PR voting rights. How many EC votes do they have?
If you pay attention you can sometimes pay as little as $500 to vote.
puerto ricans can vote in the primaries to select the parties nominee. But since people don't elect presidents, states do, they don't get EC representation. Technically they could vote for President it would just be symbolic, though all votes for President are really symbolic. and the GOP being hypocritical POS like always refuse to give PR statehood so they don't have taxation without representation, you know the entire reason our country exists. PR's are american citizens and can vote for president if they move to another state. And any american citizen that moves to PR can't vote for president.
Symbolism is not actually voting. Symbolism only works in social constructs. It has no affect in reality with the exception of the weak minded.
But also: FALSE!
You blame republicans for the uncertainty of the people. While the last vote for statehood did garner 97% percent of voters in favor of it, only 20% of the people voted. Most boycotted
the vote so...
Plus, as noted earlier, they get way more money from the US government than they give up in taxes so...
Your agenda posting always gets blown out of the water.

0. You really can’t give up trying to be right about anything w Puerto Rico. So let’s say you Were born and raised in KY and move to Puerto Rico. You plan to live their the rest of your life. You establish residency. You won’t be able to vote in presidential elections even though you were born in the US. Are you still a citizen?
Unless you have played golf with him and saw him cheat, you are, at best, spreading a fake story, or lying thru your two teeth.
