Which models are the hard drives in question?

Amen. When asked about "free trade," all the other candidates (including Thompson) parrot the globalist line that it is unequivocally good. Hunter is a true leader, ahead of the pack on border security, immigration, defense, and the emerging Chinese threat.

And never forget that the opening of China was begun by Nixon, who campaigned as a hawkish conservative, just as Rudy & Romney are doing now. Conservatives should not be suckered by that RINO game yet again.

Maybe or maybe not related. Good for consideration.

I made that exact point yesterday and was told that it was better that American soldiers die under any republican administration than a democrat administration. Its pretty bad that some are willing to sacrifice American soldiers for a political win.

Hunter would be worthy of consideration if he’d advocate the overthrow, violent or otherwise, of the Red Chinese hegemonists and the unfettered elimination of the false “religion” of islam by the same methods. Otherwise, he’s just another politico who’ll submit to the powers-that-be in DC.

You have an interesting interpretation of the term “I made the exact point.”

Someone told me that a vote against ANY GOP nominee was a vote against the soldiers. I pointed out that we know China is suppplying weapons that are used against our troops and would like to know who the candidates really support, the troops or the big money campaign donors who make money off open borders and chinese back stabbing.

Hunter: Romney should denounce Bain Capital’s Chinese ties

From thread:

>>>Would a private-equity firm founded by the Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney fork over sensitive secrets to the Chinese?

It seems Bain’s decision to allow China’s Huawei Technologies to take a minority stake in 3Com has prompted some politicians to wonder whether Huawei will gain access to the Marlborough, Mass., telecommunications-equipment maker’s technology, which happens to be used by none other than the U.S. Defense Department. (According to this WSJ article, Huawei was founded in 1988 by Ren Zhengfei, a former Chinese army officer and the company’s current chief executive, and says its sales rose 45% last year to 65.6 billion yuan, or $8.73 billion, from 45.3 billion yuan in 2005.)

“This goes right to the heart of cyber security,” said Republican congressman Duncan Hunter during a recent appearance on “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” Readers may recall that CNN’s aspiring star sailor led much of the opposition in 2006 to Dubai Ports World’s bid to operate a few big U.S. ports.

Bain, hoping to head off serious problems, has voluntarily submitted the deal for review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., comprising officials from several different White House agencies and last week said “the deal presents no risks to national security.”

Looming over this brouhaha is the role played by Romney, who founded Bain Capital and now is campaigning to become the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. He has had no operational involvement in Bain since 1999, though he
holds a financial interest through a blind trust. Romney has stayed mute on the issue (perhaps wisely so).<<<<

and

>>>>Presidential candidate and current Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Duncan Hunter, today called on former Governor Mitt Romney to send a “clear statement” to the leadership of the company he founded, Bain Capital, to terminate a proposed business deal with a controversial Chinese corporation seeking to acquire U.S. defense contractor 3COM. Bain Capital is attempting to form a business arrangement with Huawei Corporation, a Chinese corporation founded by an officer of the Peoples Liberation Army of Communist China, which faces allegations of assisting Saddam Hussein in the targeting of U.S. aircraft and in helping the Taliban develop surveillance equipment.

“I am extremely concerned that Governor Romney’s company would tout a highly suspect Chinese corporation as a strategic partner,” stated Hunter. “Forming a business partnership with a corporation known to have direct ties with terrorists and dictators while, at the same time, openly seeking to acquire a major U.S. corporation that performs vital cyber security work for the Department of Defense, can only be characterized as irresponsible.”

A resolution has been introduced in Congress, H.Res. 730, which states; “The preponderance of publicly available evidence clearly suggests that as currently structured, the proposed transaction involving Huawei threatens the national security of the United States and should not be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States .” A copy of this resolution is provided.

Hunter stated in his letter to Governor Romney, “…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.

“Further, while the Committee on Foreign Investment has yet to rule on the Huawei transaction, this corporation’s connection to Saddam Hussein, the Taliban and the Army of Communist China should clearly disqualify them from becoming, in the words of your former company, “a strategic partner” in acquiring a U.S. firm such as 3COM, which performs vital cyber-security work for the U.S. Department of Defense. <<<<<

Alan Shugart, co-founder of Seagate was a full blown communist (he admitted so publicly quite a few times) despite his use of and success with capitalism. Seagate was a company based near the communist enclave of Santa Cruz, California.

Shugart is dead now. His smarmy little antics of running Earnest, his dog, for Congress in Monterey was at best a pathetic prank. He lived in Pebble Beach and the local communist newspapers made a lot of hay over it to further fill their pages with ancillary drivel.

He liked to hire a lot of foreigners who would work cheap, extolled the virtues of government providing everything instead of reaching into his own pocket to pay for it.

Registering his dog to vote in Monterey County should have landed him in the jail for fraud. He was a pile of dung...

Unreal. I wonder if certain secure US GOVERNMENT departments are customers? This kind of [expletive] is a serious security breach.

No kidding!

I would sure hope that the protocol for installation of new media on such systems involves a scan and scrub of such media, and possibly running an operating system like Linux that isn't as promiscuous as Windoze.
