I'm wondering if we couldn't make a deal with Obama, we'll give him Quebec in exchange for Puerto Rico.

Angry white guys compel Latinos to vote Democrat:



GOP's Latino Jam: 'Angry White Guys' - Amnesty offer could split GOP in two: Patrik Jonsson


Republicans have a serious Latino-voter problem, and fixing it could spark a painful public debate that wrenches the party in two, writes Patrik Jonsson at the Christian Science Monitor. Latinos played a big role in reelecting President Obama, comprising 10% of voters and backing him by 71%. But if the Republicans embrace that bloc by granting amnesty to more than 10 million illegal immigrants, then middle-class, conservative whites are going to freak, Jonsson writes. The move would contradict decades of anti-immigration policy and fly in the face of working-class anger over perceived "handouts" to illegal immigrants. Nonetheless, conservatives like Sean Hannity and Charles Krauthammer are testing the waters by supporting the notion of amnesty with a secured border. For now, Latinos remain suspicious of the GOP's attitudes, writes Jonsson—especially after conservative legislatures in the south and west waged such vocal battles against illegal immigrants.

I think the U.S. is having enough problems with the 50 states without adding more. I suppose that might be over come if Obama was to get an extra assistant.

Hey. I like AK, OR, and WY. Southwestern deserts are kinda nifty, too. Well, ok, I'll amend my original comment to be more specific to those states. :D Maybe include WA and ID for the helluhbit.

Nah... you just can't take all the cool stuff. Let's start with Detroit.

Exactly, but I'd prefer if they didn't all move here like your exes..

Oh we won't. That's not what annexation is.
