I trust Duncan Hunters judgement and totally distrust any Chinese Communist company.

[cripplecreek]

Its sad how many people couldn’t care less that the Chinese are supplying weapons to our enemies (the folks killing our soldiers) as long as they themselves make a buck off china.

[George W. Bush]

"I am extremely concerned that Governor Romney's company would tout a highly suspect Chinese corporation as a strategic partner," stated Hunter.

This is false. Romney does not manage the company, nor he is more than some votes as a minority shareholder in the company.

"This letter is a request that you immediately issue a statement of policy that this transaction should be terminated on the grounds of national security. Please let me know what you intend to do."

This is just silly and snarky. Hunter is demeaning himself, not Romney.

Why is there no direct link to this “Press Release” on Duncan Hunter’s website? Your provided link only goes to his home page and I don’t see this listed under “Press Releases” anywhere. Is his own website lagging behind?

It’ll be a long time before we hear Slick Willard’s flip-flopping response to this. He’s still talking to his lawyers!

Romney buckled.

[elizabetty]

Why does Duncan Hunter think any American Citizen should tell an American Company who it can and cannot do business with.

Duncan is the one sitting in the Congress that makes the laws about business relations with foreign countries, not Mitt Romney.

GOP urges probe in China firm deal (Hunter, Hoekstra and Sessions)

>>>Senior Pentagon officials, meanwhile, are investigating the security aspects of the announced plan for China’s Huawei Technologies and the investment firm Bain Capital Partners to buy 3Com, which makes equipment used by the Pentagon to block computer hackers, including those from the Chinese military.<<<

Tidbit for all. 3Com is the company responsible for providing the firewalls and security software to the Pentagon. Let’s keep that in mind.

Chinese military hacked into Pentagon

[Jeff Head]

Lots of talk going on about Hunter and whether this is a sourced release, etc. and what direct influence Romney may or may not have with Bain.

My simple concerns are these:

1. Is the Chinese company partnering with Bain run by this guy that they pupport?
2. Is it true that he supported the Taliban and Saddam against our troops?
3. Is the head of the chinese company in fact a front for the PLAN?

If any one, two, or all of those are true, then whether Hunter actually wrote the letter, whether Romney is or is not any longer directly involved with Bain, etc., etc., ad nauseum is irrelevent to me.

The only relevent point to me is why this deal even has a prayer of going through, and why all the Presidential candidates, regardless of stripe, are not speaking out against it.

If Hunter is speaking out against it, and advising or asking other candidates to do likewise...bully for him. He should be.

Given these conditions, if true, it IS a national security issue and therefore does fall under the umbrella of scrutiny for national security reasons...because 3COM is deeply involved with the cyber security of the DOD and the Chinese have stated directly and are acting on it, their intent to be able to oppose us in that areana.

Just my htoughts on the issue.

Why Duncan Hunter needs to be our Next President

[Antoninus]

Y'all are quick, I'll give you that. I just saw this now and was about to post it.

Bump!

[ProCivitas]

Potentially a great contrast issue point, depending on Romney's response. This item separates the 'economic patriots' from the mercenary whores.

Much of corporate America seems to have a disloyalty problem.

[ProCivitas]

And from a campaign strategy standpoint, it looks like Hunter has picked the right fight on this one with the right candidate.

'Economic Patriotism' is a crucial defining issue, and Romney's still leading, I think, in polls of Iowa and NewHampshire, thus arguably the leading "conservative" in the race.

If this issue gets news coverage, and/or if the Hunter campaign leads with it in what will have to be very cost-effective television ad barrages, it will serve Hunter's campaign very well.

[WOSG]

As a 3COM shareholder, I see nothing wrong with this deal, for 3COM, for investors, or for America.

having a Chinese company being a minority shareholder in a venture doesn’t change laws or their access to technology, any more than if you went out and bought shares in a Shanghai stock exchange company - would you have chinese technology? Chinese businesses will not get access to anything additional through this transaction that they cant get in other ways by simply buying it.

[WFTR]

while it is true that you no longer control Bain Capital, the contributions you have received from its principals as its founding member indicate that your influence within the company remains strong.

I like Mr. Hunter, but I have concerns about this comment. While I'm sure that Mr. Romney has influence with the people still running Bain Capital, there may be specific laws and at least ethical guidelines against a candidate or public office holder trying to exercise any kind of control over a company, even if that control is for a patriotic interest. For the most part, we want our office holders and candidates to cease exercising any kind of control once they've left a private company and begun running for office.
