Boy does this cast some dark shadows on my trust of China and all the lending they have been doing to us...

WASHINGTON – Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn't divulge.

O'Donnell's comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, which O'Donnell ultimately lost.

She said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America" and accused one opponent of appeasement for suggesting that the two countries were economically dependent and should find a way to be allies.

"That doesn't work," she said. "There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."

"A country that forces women to have abortions and mandates that you can only have one child and will not allow you the freedom to read the Bible, you think they can be our friend?" she asked. "We have to look at our history and realize that if they pretend to be our friend it's because they've got something up their sleeve."

O'Donnell's campaign didn't respond Monday to requests for comment.

At the debate, opponent Jan Ting countered that China has the potential to become a more democratic country and an important ally.

"I think our China policy has to be handled very carefully," Ting said. "We have the capability of making an enemy or a friend out of China."

When Ting challenged O'Donnell's claim about having secret information, O'Donnell didn't answer specifically but suggested she had received it through nonprofit groups she worked with that frequently sent missionaries there.











Now granted the source of this information and what it is is questionable but the fact that the accusation has been made in Washington makes me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

China taking over America...and how exactly would that happen??..they going to drop a bomb?...not with all the current debt owed to China

they going to export more cheaply made crap and flood your markets? they have the whole world for that...

maybe they will stop offering take out service...???

I like Chinese food!!

China Is a country that we will really want on our side. I sure hope Obama does not mess that up for us.

they have never been on our side... and we lost every war we fought with them helping the other side...

they are going to slowly kill us all with lead poisoning! their bombs would probably break on their way over anyways, they're made in china for crying out loud.

They out number us.But Im sure If It all hits the fan we would devistate.

I say we are bullies anyway. Just say f the world.. secure our borders we have everything we need and the world will bow to us and relieve us of all our debts just like we build back countrys after we destroy them they have us with debt.

Fair is Fair Right?
