Hasn’t Romney been disassociated with Bain Capital for 10 years?
Bain Capital along with Thomas Partners presently is in the process of buying Clear Channel Communications. CC is the largest radio group in the US and owns the contract for Rush Limbaugh.
If Duncan Hunter wants to complain he would be better able to make hay complaining about CC.
I heard Mitt Romney say twice on Laura Ingraham’s show that he wants a partnership with China. We better watch Romney very closely. He is slick.
I ordered Chinese takeout today. Should I denounce the restaurant now?
Even Milton Freidman saw the limits of free trade.
Hunter/Bolton '08
Hunter/Steele '08
HUNTER, HUNTER, HUNTER!!!
DUNCAN HUNTER - You may not know his name....until you want to thank him!
There are two camps.
Essentially one is in support of such a deal because it is "good for business". These are usually the Chamber of Commerce, US Embassy types, big business folks who would bid on the rope they would hang us with.
There are others here, independent types, realists on China and it's intents, intel and military types, who are NOT in support of the Huawei deal to buy out 3Com on national security grounds.
IT IS GREAT THAT MR HUNTER HAS ELEVATED THIS GEOPOLITICAL AND NATIONAL SECURITY ASIAN-BASED ISSUE INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE!!!
And Romney needs to come clean on this kind of stuff.
He did NOT denounce the deal or sale, completely ignoring the main question.
How SLICK.
Too slick.
Thanks for your take on this. I don’t know enough about the deal to have an opinion, but Hunter hasn’t been wrong yet. Time will tell.
Can you imagine how hard it would have been for us to fight WWII if we had been outsourcing the way we do now?
We couldn’t have done it. It would have taken years to rebuild our manufacturing capabilities to the point where we could build the machines of war we needed. We would have been overrun before we were even ready to fight.
Gotta figure, Japan was probing at us by way of Mexico, Alaska, and the west coast while Germany probed at us by way of Mexico and the east coast. If we had to screw around for a decade rebuilding manufacturing capabilities we would have been screwed.
That’s right.
“I ordered Chinese takeout today. Should I denounce the restaurant now?”
Ha! That’s funny.
who are these 'other' Republicans?
I like Hunter, but he's really stratching it on this issue.
Not only has Romney relinquished defacto control of Bain, but in reality, any US company can probably be linked to China through the "seven-degrees-of-separation" factor.
If the CIA or Dept of Defense had problems with the subsidiary, I'm certain they would have made a big stink about it.
Their silence speaks volumes.
Puhleeze!
I bought 500 shares of several Chinese companies today. (I'm not kidding. They continue to rise faster than NYSE)
Should I make a citizens arrest on myself.
Maybe I should "come clean" and confess my sins to the nearest Priest.
3com has defense contracts. You better believe that ROmney better be denouncing the damn deal.
