Re-read the article Marrah_G May 2013 #19

cite the element of what I said that was wrong markiv May 2013 #21

Here's the paragraph you didn't read... Jeff In Milwaukee May 2013 #46

that's actually a great arguement against ALL regulations markiv May 2013 #47

trollin? demwing May 2013 #62

No, it's not an argument between bad regulations and no regulations at all. baldguy May 2013 #67

that doesnt make NO regulations to protect workers better markiv May 2013 #72

And here's the other paragraph that you didn't read... Jeff In Milwaukee May 2013 #86

the title was my own to highlight the point markiv May 2013 #26

You made no point about Franken. MineralMan May 2013 #29

the article was about actions of senators markiv May 2013 #32

Your title was not relevant to the article. MineralMan May 2013 #33

What is Franken's position on this? I have read your posts but don't see much information on sabrina 1 May 2013 #58

It would have been a good idea if the OP had explained. MineralMan May 2013 #59

' I have no obligation to explain myself to you' markiv May 2013 #69

By your own logic then, the OP 'has no obligation to explain' him/herself to anyone either. sabrina 1 May 2013 #71

Thanks for your note, Sabrina. MineralMan May 2013 #87

True, he's markiv demwing May 2013 #64

If Whitehouse voted against it too, there must be a good reason ProudToBeBlueInRhody May 2013 #30

he is a troll, isn't he riverbendviewgal May 2013 #35

The bottom line is, we don't know what's tied into the amendment that they don't like ProudToBeBlueInRhody May 2013 #39

no, not a troll, just someone who got slaughtered by H-1b markiv May 2013 #43
