Hillary Clinton's Campaign Continues To Deceive Democrats and Unions
It's amazing how some unions can back Hillary Rodham Clinton for President. They must be in denial.
As David Sirota writes, "On Monday, I wrote about Hillary Clinton airing an ad decrying the closure of a defense manufacturing factory that her husband, Bill Clinton, helped close by approving the sale of the company to a Chinese state-owned firm. Now, ABC News is running with the story, and uncovers some more ugly details.
"From Jake Tapper:
"The two Chinese companies were headed by the husbands of the first and second daughters of then-Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping...
"Not surprisingly, the Clinton campaign is compounding its deception with more deception as it tries to explain away this latest controversy. McClatchy today quotes Clinton spokesman Jonathan Swain claiming that "In 1995, when this group bought Magnequench, there were assurances made that production would stay in the United States." But as ABC recounts, the Congressional Research Service reports that the state-owned Chinese company that Clinton allowed to purchase Magnequench "promised to keep those Anderson, Ind., jobs in the U.S. only until 2005."
This is quite despicable of Hillary Clinton and her campaign: deception, dishonesty, hypocrisy and pandering. Unfortunately, she sounds like a clone of John McSame. The question she and her campaign should be asked over and over again is: Are you certain Hillary is really a Democrat?

"From Jake Tapper:
"A memo prepared for [Indiana Senator Evan] Bayh by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service earlier this year stated that the Clinton administration could have objected to the sale under CFIUS, but it did not...In 2000, also during Bill Clinton's presidency, Magnequench purchased from UGIMAG the factory in Valparaiso that manufactured the Neo magnets. President Clinton's administration took no steps to stop the purchases in 2000, either."
"The sale was a pretty serious national security issue, not so much because the technology was sensitive, but because the sale means our military has to rely on foreign companies for critical weaponry. (Underline added.) Here's Tapper:
