Des Moines Register

The issues and challenges facing America today require experienced leadership and clear vision. The next American president will assume difficult responsibilities immediately upon taking office, and the challenges facing our nation demand innovative solutions and a commitment to strengthening America's traditional values and ideals.

To be successful, our nation must maintain its commitment to expanding freedom and protecting free institutions around the world. We must also stay focused on promoting the safety and security of the American people, which includes securing our borders and enforcing our nation's laws. And it is important that the American people, with their enormous creativity and tireless work ethic, be given a chance to compete in the global marketplace.

Today's American workers are losing to foreign competition, primarily because of the unfair advantages that have been afforded to our trading partners. An uneven playing field has been created, and our nation's manufacturing base, once referred to as the Arsenal of Democracy, continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate.

The same Arsenal of Democracy that carried Eisenhower's forces to Berlin and brought an end to the Cold War can now be found far from America's shores. The massive production of textiles, steel and machine tools are no longer found in the factories of South Carolina, Ohio and Iowa. This great arsenal can now be found in other industrial countries around the world and, perhaps most ominously, China.


This is every bit as much a matter of national security as antyhing else we talk about... if we can't make it, and are dependent on (those who might be) our enemies to supply us... well, uh..... yeah, "uh"..... can anyone say, "Uncle Sam caught with his pants down?"

THERE'S an "inconvenient truth"....

DUNCAN HUNTER, THE REAL "REAL DEAL"!!
HE "GET'S IT"...

He definitely does understand the problems we face. The only thing I do not agree with the man on is his foreign Policy. Hunter is a great american and I hope the MSM starts to see that the "top" tier candidates are the typical politicians who only want the power while the lower tier ( Hunter Huckabee and Paul) Are the real deal.
