I know most of us have seen all the Republican debates, and I'm sure most of us also recall a good number of left wing analysts bashing Duncan Hunter for making a good number of anti-Chinese statements and how they violate technological patents and are openly a threat to the United States. Whenever Leftist pundits laugh, rest assured, vindication is right around the corner. Today, two stories break (unrelated stories which is even worse) of Chinese espionage here in the States involving a Department of Defense analyst and Boeing Engineers. From examining the article it seems like these two cases involved sales of weapons to Taiwan and to aerospace programs respectively. This is terrible news, of course. This is most likely a tip of the iceburg. Chinese spying goes back a long way and will continue going forward. We should be glad that these two cases were identified and pursued aggressively by the FBI, but much more work needs to be done. Recognizing this threat is something that should be paramount in the elections, and it will be interesting to see how much air time this gets. You'll recall that the Clintons did everything they could to appease the Chinese and crossed the line with them numerous times. Feel free throw "Clintons" and "Chinese" in Google to remind yourself.

Nod. Shame that the old campaign finance rules weren’t in place. My bet is that Duncan Hunter would have found a few rich champions to help his campaign get off the ground.
He will have 4 years to work out the kinks. LOL
