Add DOMA Hepburn Nov 2015 #2
Yes, DOMA, that kind of fell under her 'Sanctity of Marriage' and whole history regarding Gay rights sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #5

1) Her state was MY state at that time. She was simply massively wrong about Iraq sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #14
LOL! MaggieD Nov 2015 #15
Sure, always willing to help! sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #21
So is her stated "strong" support for H-1B and likely other "guest worker" programs "liberal"? cascadiance Nov 2015 #45
Anything that helps Corporations. I didn't think of that, but yes, that is another reason not to sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #54

Whatever you say. frylock Nov 2015 #91
Hb1 visa holders must be paid the same wage as citizen in the job MaggieD Nov 2015 #93
That's right. They are driving down wages. frylock Nov 2015 #95
How are they driving down wages if the rule states MaggieD Nov 2015 #96
You do understand the economic principles of supply and demand, right? shawn703 Nov 2015 #107
You are DEAD fucking wrong on the facts. beerandjesus Nov 2015 #112

Well, she says in her own words that she STRONGLY SUPPORTS EXPANDING this OUTSOURCING program!! cascadiance Nov 2015 #140
No she doesn't MaggieD Nov 2015 #141
You are really selectively DEAF maam. Her first sentence she states her H-1B program commitment... cascadiance Nov 2015 #144
Of course you're right. Hillary is a goddamn Republican on this issue. beerandjesus Nov 2015 #153
Yeah, the anti immigrant routine MaggieD Nov 2015 #155
BULLSHIT! H-1B is NOT an immigration bill. I would rather they IMMIGRATE here!! cascadiance Nov 2015 #156
Bernie is anti-immigration and this fits right in with that MaggieD Nov 2015 #165

You're just factually incorrect MaggieD Nov 2015 #94
I'm right. You're wrong. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #98
Sorry, but you do NOT know what is going on with H-1B like many of us in the trenches do!!! cascadiance Nov 2015 #113
Your story is about fraud in the program MaggieD Nov 2015 #117
It's been fraught with fraud since the 90's when it was started... cascadiance Nov 2015 #138
Well than they should add legislation to reduce the fraud MaggieD Nov 2015 #139
This has been "tried" over 20 years now and has FAILED!!!!! cascadiance Nov 2015 #142
Really - so tell me, what anti-fraud measures have been added since inception? MaggieD Nov 2015 #143
Provide us some quotes from people that say there haven't been fraud in it... cascadiance Nov 2015 #145

I'd love to see Bernie bring up Hillary's vote for the CharlotteVale Nov 2015 #13
Her response would not be good for him MaggieD Nov 2015 #17
