Puerto Rico for Romney!

Buoyed by a blowout win in the Republican primary in Puerto Rico, Mitt Romney extrapolated from what he called an “extraordinary victory” on Sunday to the general election, suggesting that he could also win enough Latino votes in November to oust President Obama.

“Those people who don’t think that Latinos will vote for Republicans need to take a look at Puerto Rico and see there that conservative principles and Latino voters go together,” he said, listing interests Latinos shared with other voters, like jobs.

Romney has antagonized many Latino voters with his suggestion that illegal immigrants would self-deport under tougher federal enforcement.

Romney’s prediction drew cheers from his mostly white audience in a suburb north of Chicago, although the comparison between the Puerto Rican GOP electorate and the broader Latino electorate is a stretch.

Yes, and just how does winning the REPUBLICAN PRIMARY in Puerto Rico translate to winning the Latino vote for president? There were no Democrats running in the Puerto Rico Republican primary that I'm aware of. And Puerto Ricans don't vote in presidential elections, even though they are US citizens. Plus, the reason Mitt won the primary there is not actually extraordinary at all.  That dipshit Rick Santorum apparently went there telling people they'd have to speak English if they want to become a state. He obviously wasn't too concerned about winning Puerto Rico's primary.

Some of them don't even want to be a state. And I'm guessing Satan will be ice skating to work on the day that the Republican Party of the United States of America votes to include an entire state of Latinos in our precious land.


Oh, and by the way...

Mr. Santorum also reiterated the importance of the English language in any territory or commonwealth that sought to become a state.

In a visit last week to Puerto Rico, Mr. Santorum told a local newspaper, regarding the island’s upcoming referendum on statehood: “They would have to speak English. That would be a requirement. It’s a requirement that we put on other states. It is a condition for entering the Union.”

There are no such requirements.

And as any Latino in America can tell you, if you're Latino and speak English, the Republican Party still won't like you.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
