You missed the point. Completely and entirely. Buzz Clik May 2015 #7

I understand the concerns in the OP, but on this one item - H1B visas - Hillary supports them peacebird May 2015 #19

My state's UI division tracks wages for skilled H1B workers. PatrickforO May 2015 #43

No, actually it's not MaggieD May 2015 #69

"The Gish Gallop is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent..." Romulox May 2015 #77

Correct MaggieD May 2015 #80

That's what you have done here. Arguing that others made you do it doesn't change that. nt Romulox May 2015 #81
