Actually, you can look at the fact that he historically doesn't vote for education bills, so that pretty much makes him a hypocrite. Can't blame a company for trying to hire the best trained people to do a given job.

How's that? He claims that there are more than enough STEM graduates already. If he thinks that, then two consequences are: 1) why do we need more H1-Bs? and 2) why do we need to subsidize college more?

I think he's wrong, but he's entirely consistent.

But I can blame companies for conspiring to hire the best trained people to do a given job at the lowest possible price. H-1B visas, offshoring, anti-compete clauses and non-poaching agreements are their key tactics.

Some seniors face tough elections, others don't. Republican seniors in Alabama only face compition in the primary and little real completion at that.

Note, the incumbent senator for the 2014 election faces literally zero opposition.
