Refusing to work (speak) against a former company is much different then taking part in the involvement with the Chinese. I may be splitting hairs here, but the arguement sounds weak. I tend to agree with Activist, the lines in the Conflict of Interest scenario are blurred and bendable for the most part.

When you think that our military aircraft are running on parts made overseas, it becomes blatently familiar that we have lost or given up our technological edge in some industries. The Chinese are NOT our friends and this is a grave detriment to our national security. Romney, like any good entrepenuer, will put his money were it will do him the most good. Fine. Do you believe that noone else in political power does this? Has the president or congress from the time of Nixon ever put the cabosh on this way of doing business? It just shows that big business and capitalism drive this country. What gets me is why there are no constraints on what kind of business we can do with foreign powers other than giving up state secrets. Big loophole in national security, don't you think? Hunter was wrong on this issue. Yes, Romney could have the fortitude to do what he believes would be in the best interest of his counrty and as a contender for the big seat I would believe he would (even Carter gave up is conflict-of-interest peanuts) divest himself from questionable practices. But why should he? Does anyone else? And is the damage done from this scenerio any worse than the lack of national security from open borders? Hunter is wrong. Huckleberry is wrong. And Romney is wrong. Hunter should have just thrown in with Osama-bama. Don't see any difference from what he has done here.

Makes it anybody's ballgame and takes away the Dems inherent advantage (especially if Hillary is the nominee). It's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

I heard McCain say he had always been pro-life in the debate the other night, trying to dis ROmney. McCain's BF Lieberman changed his position in the opposite direction, from pro-life to pro-choice for political expediency, and McCain has said nothing. Hunter's endorsement was strange, it would have been netter to endorse no one. Lou Dobbs and Blommie, huh? I still don't see it. I agree with Hunter’s stmt on Romney’s change on abortion.

I doubt he'll win if voters have to choose between JM and either HC or BO. Its not contest their side will be more pumped coming out of the primary and flush with cash.
