Duncan’s tellin’ it like it is!
I wonder what Fred Thompson has said on this subject (he seems to be the up-and-coming candidate these days).
“Not getting yet another establishment President is even more important than the WOT.”
For sure.
Vote in the primaries, and bring your conservative friends.
Contribute $$ to individual conservative candidates, rather than directly to the RNC.
My opinion.
Any good talkers might want to call Matt Drudge tonight to tell him we have a presidential candidate who will do something about China’s cheating on trade.
Matt often seems disgusted about all of the Made in China junk.
“Duncan Hunter: U.S. Multinationals Have Become Chinese Corporations
Manufacturing News Vol. 14, No. 5 ^ | March, 13, 2007 | Manufacturing News
Q: As President, is there anything you could do about this acquiescence to cheating?
Hunter: Right now, China rebates their taxes to their manufacturers. They give a 17-percent subsidy to their products and a 17-percent penalty to our products. Before you even compare labor, component prices and commodity prices, they have a 34-percent advantage before the game even starts. Then they devalue their currency by 40 percent to make sure the American manufacturer doesn’t win. That is cheating. We need to have a government that says that is cheating. [Fed Chairman Ben] Bernanke had that in so many words written in his speech that he was going to give in China [in December], but it was changed before he gave it to the Chinese leadership. That is not acceptable.”

DUNCAN HUNTER QUOTE: “Not only do we have a bad trade deal with China but they’re cheating on the one we do have. China is cheating on trade and they’re using our trade dollars to buy ships, planes and missiles. They’re becoming a super power and stepping into the shoes of the Soviet Union.”
