    Default Rep. Duncan Hunter - protectionist dullard?

    I understand that today, Rep. Hunter has introduced a bill that will ban all foreign ownership and any companies that are related to "critical infrastructure".

    Here's a link about it from a few days ago, as I've said he's apparently since introduced the bill.
    The Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee yesterday said he'll push legislation that would not only kill a Dubai-owned company's bid to operate in U.S. ports, but would kick out any foreign-owned company that owns U.S. terminals or other key infrastructure.
    This is just crazy- he's not even talking about government owned companies- he's talking about foreign owned- period.

    The only question I have left is, is Hunter really that stupid or is this just blatant pandering? I mean really... talk about selling out "Republican" ideals.
