Lou Dobbs coming out...

Former CNN commentator Lou Dobbs made an appearance on CNBC's The Kudlow Report today... Very interesting interview / exchange with insight into Lou's political aspirations...

I have to admit, he makes a lot of sense... If an ex-bodybuilder, pot-head, whore-mongering movie star like Arnie Schwarzenegger can be elected gobenator, then Lou can get elected to the Senate...

Lou Dobbs: Must Read

thanks

I am sure he can claims now to be independent now :rolleyes:

that said, half of what he said made sense, the other half is the usual conservative bias

at least he doesn't sound like a Faux lunatics,

at least he is going openly after Bush, calling him a socialist :)

I don't follow Lou Dobbs closely but he did note many ways the Middle Class gets screwed, and he severely criticized the GWB administration.

I don't consider him to be partisan, or if he is, he was likely a moderate and fiscally conservative GOPer.

lou dobbs is a xenophobe whose rhetoric is a dog whistle for racists.

I disagree.

I don't think he's a Xenophobe.

He was sounding the alarm bells over illegal immigration, because illegal immigration is supported by bu$iness.

The supporters of ILLegal immigration, played the race card - once again.

he is not your typical conservative, at least he has the decency to call a spade a spade about Republicans

funny how in the video they are speaking highly of Clinton and Reagan, mixing all kind of different issues into one, I mean fuck it's inconsistent on so many levels, it's laughable. He also has been called on his NATFA opposition, now he claims he is all for it.

The truth is all those "economics" and "business" journalists have no clue, that's why they are journalists, or reporters, they can tell a nice story but they can't understand the complexity of business and the economy in general. With a dumb audience to deal with, they have to oversimplify from the little knowledge that they have, and at the end that's what you have, Lou Dobbs. He is fucking hilarious to listen to.

But again, I have to admit, he is not as dumb as the other ones who are mostly frauds in majority. He seems to get it half right. This doesn't take away that he is a racist kunt and a bias conservative.

I wouldn't call him a "conservative."

To me, he's a populist. He goes after Big Business, corrupt government, and both parties, which are two sides of the same coin, IMO.

Way to go Lou.

I do hope he runs. And I hope he wins.

keep hoping.

a significant percentage of NJ residents were born outside the US.

and there are thousands of hours of video and audio tape that will be reviewed by the opposition.

HIGHLY unlikely that he becomes a senator in NJ.

that might be his problem, he is delusional, he is the perfect conservative, stuck in the past

if he thinks a modern giant economy like the US is about small entrepreneurs and small businesses, then maybe he needs to start moving to Cuba

Corporate America owns the country, and make it go and fail, there is no alternative.

His vision is very backward and simplistic, early 20th century. He is out of touch, even if some of his arguments make sense and are appealing.

He must be very afraid in today's world. Which explains basically his negative views on everything.

^ Again, I don't think Lou Dobbs is a conservative, in the sense of the term, "conservative."
