Yes, but we get the benefit of Wal-Mart prices!

Prove it. Show me links that irrefutably shows that Wal-Mart is getting inventory from factories that abuse workers...

Who knows. 80% of the crap they sell is from China.

Regaredless, WalMart, like Safeway, is jumping in bed with the promoters of socialized medicine. Keep your eyes peeled.

Good point.

Duncan Hunter’s support of Taiwan clearly strengthens human rights in the region.

However, I fail to see how erecting broad trade barriers that don’t distinguish between those producers that violate elevate workers in China and those which repress them aids Chinese citizens.

The one example where a trade barrier worked was in the case of South Africa. Most people now agree that Ronald Reagan was wrong in his constructive engagement policy, and trade sanctions were the correct course. However, given current events in South Africa, I wonder whether “most people” are correct.

Trade is not to blame for China’s lack of freedom-— trade is currently that country’s greatest source of freedom. Slavery/serfdom did not just appear in China, and capitalism, by increasing competition, is the best hope for increasing worker’s treatment and wages there. Broad trade barriers to China, on the other hand, only rewards and encourage inefficient businesses of the sort that abuse basic human rights, by ensuring they don’t have to deal with competitors from, say, the United States.

The heck with Wal-Mart. The important point is recognizing who is calling the shots, choosing the nominees, influencing clueless minds in this country! The George Soros owned MSM.

The point we must concentrate on is who we want to lead us against the Communist threat against our country by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran. Sleight of hand is played everyday to take our minds off our priorities, deliberately to advance their agenda.

Duncan Hunter has always seen the lay of China’s land. He has the vision, (now proven) clear thinking, the solid solutions so desperately needed by our country today.

And we are the deer in the headlights fast approaching from all directions at once. AMERICA NEEDS DUNCAN HUNTER! http://www.gohunter08.com.
