33. ' I'm actually of the ethnicity that a lot of the H1Bs '

must be weird being called a 'racist' every time you tell the truth about H-1b on the internet. I'm sure your comment

' Oh and before someone tries to accuse me of being racist' comes from being called it nearly every time you say anything - that's what's so galling about this whole issue - how incredibly vicious the whole thing is - never thought my own country, my own party would really do that to me

but it's the nature of having your own group sell you out - if they're vicious enough to do it in the first place, they're vicious enough to try to destroy you for telling the truth about it

It's not "tearing down", it's stating facts... tex-wyo-dem Aug 2015 #15

If she were against the XL Pipeline, she would not hesitate to say so. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #27

She might be taking their money, JayhawkSD Aug 2015 #46

I don't hate Hillary. But I do think she is for the pipeline. We shall see. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #69
