Actually Howlin pointed to a poll that for all intents and purposes is null and void. It was proceeded by a poll that sought to clear up the polling on the subject(posted by Jim), see #115. Had she posted without knowing about the updated poll, it could have been considered a mistake. But the thread suggesting the original poll was not very clear on the subject had her posts all over it.

She knew about the updated poll and still decided to base her assumption on the original poll. As evidenced by post #117 as well as this thread Free Republic guest worker poll is busted

Howlin cited the second and more valid poll, though her 70% figure overstates things by 10%. I should know which poll has the more valid wording, since I wrote the thread about the first busted poll that you linked above.

In essence only 10 percent of the 5000+ polled here support any sort of guest worker program.

You've misunderstood the poll results because you haven't paid attention to the question. You're getting your "only 10%" figure from a poll that asked Which of the following is the best way to solve the illegal immigration problem?

Neither Howlin nor I believe that a guest worker plan is the "best way" to solve the problem, though I support a guest worker program as part of a comprehensive solution. I'm not clear right now where Howlin stands on the various guest worker plans.

Per Post #48,
Howlin Said:

Almost SEVENTY PERCENT of the MEMBERS of this forum approve of SOME KIND of worker's program.

What part of that, which is what see based her threads on here, did I misunderstand?

I'm not clear right now where Howlin stands on the various guest worker plans.

I support some sort of guest worker program because if we don't have one, nothing will be done.
