I saw bits and pieces of the Republican debate last night and was later able to find a transcript of the debate to look over.

China bashing has been a problem for Republicans. Duncan Hunter, who has now dropped out, was the worst.

Last night's remarks were insightful. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee was asked a question about cutting taxes and made some interesting remarks on China. Huckabee discussed his record on taxes a few moments; but then he changed the subject and discussed his perspective on the concerns of average Americans over the economy.

...frankly, in talking about the stimulus package, one of the concerns that I have is that we'll probably end up borrowing this $150 billion from the Chinese. And when we get those rebate checks, most people are going to go out and buy stuff that's been imported from China. I have to wonder whose economy is going to be stimulated the most by the package.

Huckabee suggested that a public works project to strengthen America's infrastructure would be money better spent. Of course, it wouldn't be spent as quickly (the point of a stimulus package).
