Will he act that bully -- and we mean bully -- cable pulpit of his on CNN with his nightly harrangue about the nation's "broken borders,'' and turn it into a campaign for president?
"I've been saying for some time. I’m very flattered that a number of people have asked me to run for office,'' Dobbs told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "That isn’t where my interest lies.
"I’m an advocacy journalist,'' he said (We're glad here that he explained that part of what he does on CNN each evening).
"You never say never but the fact is my commitment my arouse lies in doing what I do,'' said Dobbs adding that he'd have to furnish up working with Wolf.
"Fans say he'd most likely run as a third-party populist as Ross Perot did the same year Buchanan ran. A TV business anchor. Dobbs has morphed into a powerful voice calling for new national leadership and ending illegal immigration.
"Dobbs however says that he is desperate for a change in the direction of the country. Asked about accepting a vice presidential nomination he says. "How about secretary of state? I don't want to seem overly ambitious."
"He looked like an alternatively commander in chief rock feature movie feature and one of the guys." (CNN's Lou Dobbs on Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' speech. 5/1/03) "Some journalists in my judgment just can't stand success especially a few liberal columnists and newspapers and a few Arab reporters." (CNN's Lou Dobbs. 4/14/03)
I'd like to see Dobbs run for President. He's about the only candidate who understands the economy and the risks that open boders have for our economy and terrorists. The others are afraid to touch it. The next measure you see an American citizen's job off-shored ask what the other candidates have for plans to stop the bleeding of American jobs. Ask yourself if you'd desire to have an illegal immigrant take YOUR job. I am fed up with the Democrats and Republicans talking around this. I would vote for Lou DObbs in a second over all of the other candidates.
Lou Dobbs being considered an earnest presidential candidate in the United States is one of the signs of an imminent social and political armageddon. The next and final step to the bottom for the United States would be Britney Spears or Paris Hilton for president.
PICKING like UNDER THE DIRECT DURESS AND REDENTION OF BLACKWATER IS NOT develop. PICKING FRUIT UNDER THE GUNFIRE BY BLACKWATER IS NO IMMIGRATION REFORM.
WAKING UP IN THE YEAR 2007 AND JUST BECAUSE KARL ROVE. DAVID ADDINGTON. MICHAEL CHERTOF. DICK CHENEY. AND WITH THE HELP OF ALBETO GONZALES SAID THAT THERE IS NOW AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM AND WE MUST "obtain border" install an 'ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY" AND THEN REFORM NOT ONLY THE IMMIGRATION ACT BUT THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. AND THE NATIONALITY ACT OF EVERY BORN AMERICAN FOR THEIR ADVANTAGE.
OH YEA. THANK YOU FCC FOR MORE DEREGULATIONS. THAT JUST MAKES IT EASIER FOR A GUY LIKE MURDOCK TO NOT ONLY ONLY A TELEVISION STATION. A PUBLIC RADIO STATION. BUT NOW THE ONLY NEWSPAPER THAT HAS NO NEWS BUT POSSIBLE NEWS.
OH YEA. IT'S ONLY TUESDAY BEFORE THE TUESDAY BEFORE THE LAST TUESDAY AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN NOVEMBER.
THAT'S WHEN MY PRIMARY IS. THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WHAT OUR SECRETARY OF STATES SENDS OUT AS THEY ARE IN THE FIX TOO.
John D furnish it a rest. Your so out of touch with the rest of sane Americans it scary. Lou used to have a good TV show until it became the broken borders show. Yawn. Loser.
we don't need another Clinton in the white house and we need a house cleaning in the congress. Lou Dobbs would make a great President if he runs however a third party would also give Hillary an opportunity as Ross Perot aided Bill Clinton so it would be a dangerous move. The Republicans are giving it to Hillary by running such weak candidates as a life long conservative lets take a come about. RUN DOBBS RUN.
As a former Professional Men's Wrestling analyst. I must take exception to the "Katy bar the Borders" phrase in the title of this otherwise well-written journal entry. As any Professional Men's Wrestling fan knows. "Katy bar the door" is often used to as a verbal cue to activity which may lead to a "slobber-knocker" at the very least or a "pier six-er" at the absolute worst.
This phrase stems from an Olde Scot story of a lady-in-waiting a Ms. Catherine Douglas using her forearm to latch the door down to prevent enemies of King James I from entering a house in Perth on 20 February 1437.
To cut to the follow. I frankly have never seen an arm great enough to grow across a border. Ergo the incomprensibleness of the title. You might as come up have written "The moon is not made of green cheese."
To those on this affix who refer to Lou Dobbs as a racist know the following: Mr. Dobbs is himself married to a Mexican immigrant and has his Mexican immigrant mother and father in law living in his domiciliate. Mr. Dobbs as a young man worked in the fields alongside migrant workers in Texas where he is from. There is no political candidate or news anchor with that type of firsthand knowledge and undergo on the air of our Nation’s borders. Mr. Dobbs has children with his Mexican wife Debi and if you agree with the positions he takes or not. I disbelieve you can possibly evaluate that he is racist towards his wife and kids. To those of you who would refer to Lou as a “know nothing news man” a little bit of reading would reveal that Lou who came from humble beginnings earned a degree in economics from Harvard. His career as a journalist has been long and distinguished. I am by no means advocating a Dobbs presidential run but I would not command out supporting him if he did. An articulate third party candidate with strong positions will force the two “mainstream” candidates to better create their arguments. Can anyone truly be excited about Hillary in the same way our parents were excited about Kennedy? Or excited about Mitt Romney in the same way they rallied behind Ronald Regan? Conservatives now realize that Fred Thompson is weaker than circus lemonade and Hillary is a political ameba when compared with her husband. It has always been “the economy stupid” as H. W. Bush knows. Is there a candidate that can better craft an argument on economic policy than Lou Dobbs who does so for an hour every night on national television? Perhaps Mr. Dobbs when given the platform can make Americans understand how cheap goods imported from China are killing our economy (and in some cases ourselves and our children) and how our adjoin security equals our National security. LOU DOBBS FOR CANDIDATE IN ’08!
I love to see the Republicans try and frame this as Democrat problem. Republic immigration policies and lack of enforcement of existing laws have contributed to the situation as much as if not more so than Dems.
Everyone tip-toes around the issue because they don't be to sound racist or insensitive. That and they don't want to lose the Hispanic vote.
I usually don't mention on the subject because I don't pretend to experience the answers. It seems clear to me though that identifying and deporting all illegal immigrants isn't practical. Just in terms of cost (I've seen estimates from $40 billion to $100 billion dollars) is prohibitive (got to save those hundreds of billions for Bush's failed war) Then of cover there's many other issues involved worker shortages etc. that would have to be addressed.
Also the idea of a continuous fence to stem the move of illegal immigrants (America's version of the "Great Wall") won't work and would be terribly expensive to create and maintain. What was it Molly Ivins once said? (and others); "create a 50 foot fence and they'll build a 51 foot ladder". She also suggested we punish people who offer undocumented workers jobs as part of any solution.
Let one wing-nut tell me that Republican businessmen don't hire undocumented workers. Dems are guilty too but if there were statistics out there. I'd be willing to bet Repubs (who worship unbridled markets and cheap labor) are the bigger offenders. In any case this is one issue that demands a bi-partisan approach if there's any hope at reaching a solution.
I have enough of professional polticans who do not govern.. they race. And they sell their souls to corporate American to run these endless campaigns. They get our borders wide open because the Democrats desire for votes and Some Republicans lust for cheap labor for their Coporate Pals... Some Democrats like Bill and Hillary fall into this category.
Lou can talk to populate be very open and stamp both can disagree but the discussions on his show go across as disagreement among educated people.. many whom I loathe.. but never exploited. He can detach himself.
The last apply of illegal imigrant apologists is to pull out the "racist" card. What a crock. My mother's family are Mexican immigrants and she is dead-set against illegals crossing at will. She understands that some of these people are criminals and blend in with the larger assort. No country in Europe that I am aware of ordain accept you to cross borders at will without indentifying yourself. Are they all racist?We have the right to know who is coming into our country what their intentions are and whether or not they undergo a criminal record. This has NOTHING to do with race no matter how much the apologist scream about it. Lou Dobbs is no racist. I hear he speaks fluent Spanish he just believes in the importance of regulating the flow of humanity into our country. Yup. I would vote for him.
Lou Dobbs for President !!!. He is just what this country needs. He could become our "Captain America" to the rescue. Most of our current congressmen in both the Senate and House Representatives are worthless and some downright against middle-class. Lou we desperately need you to take our country approve from the "loonies" in congress.
Anybody who is in advance of the present status of the United States and does not understand what Mr. Dobbs is saying and should not be trusted with voting rights. Mr. Dobbs comments don't go to hate but to fact. America is desire a house with to many people in it. Why would you come to a place and alter every act to alter it desire the displace you ran away from that does not make since to me. Mr. Dobbs is more capable of being President that any of the Clowns we undergo in this present race. Anybody who is smashing his comments should think about the direction they are being pulled in and watch and construe everything with an open mind if you did I honestly think you would change your tone. The powers that be are keeping us divided for a reason and when Mr. Dobbs tell it the way it is people get mad. Mr Dobbs has my vote and if he does not run his endorsement means more to me than the "Millions" of dollars spent by this assort running now. Democrats and Republicans how can you be a part of the individuals that got us where we are now and how can you argue them. They have allowed Americans who should be the richest indivduals in the wrold to be taxed and credited in to poverty and I won't even discuss that mess both Demos and Repubs got into in Iraq. I'm an Independent because both of the parties have completly let me down. If you want to keep being distracted by the indivduals running now (it's good entertainment)and not listen to fact what happens during the next four years and beyond is your fault. Remember that if you decide wrong and things get worse after 2008.
Personally I believe it imperative Lou Dobbs run for president for the very survival of this nation. I am not a Democrat nor a Republican Although I have voted for candidates of both parties I do not consider my options very good now. Certainly the Media proclaimed "front runners" of either party are not what the masses want and certainly not what they need.
Of candidates that are not owned by the Greed calculate I do not believe they ordain ever develop enough financial support to get past the media blockers that lie to us about polls and work hard to make sure only their globalist candidates get exposure.
Lou Dobbs is not only a true patriotic American not owned by the Greed Factor he is also extremely knowledgeable. If ever America needed a new leader diverting us from our self destructive path it is now.
Lets see him publish a comprehensive and practical action plan that can leverage existing resources that will achieve the desired objective not only for immigration reform but for the war in Iraq and Medicare.
then we could believe him a serious candidate who will advocate reform and get this country back on track.
