What are your thoughts on Lou Dobbs?

[TK421]

I have mixed feelings, and I can usually spot a bullshitter a mile away. He seems like a no-nonsense type of guy-but does anyone know what his political affiliation is?

[whistle]

1. I rarely watch him

2. A super sneaky whore that will break your heart in the long run.

He sez he is a Republican.

3. Well then, SCREW HIM THEN!!!

So much for fair and balanced

4. I don't watch much teevee anymore, but ......

Dobbs is a mixed bag. He's a very non-nonsense guy and an old school (read: *not* a theocratist) Republican. That said, he's never been particularly anti-social. Not a liberal, mind you, but not a nut. I also hear he's a member of dreaded (by some) Opus Dei, but I've never seen that stated as a documented fact.

On balance, I like the guy. If for no other reasons than he seems a straight shooter who has clear views and is consistent and clear in stating them.

Do I agree with him? ...... mmmm ... not so much. Do I respect him. Yes. Do I trust him? Yes. Unlike so many of the current public faces of the Republicans, he seems not to have a forked tongue and unblinking eyes ... yanno?

5. I have been wondering the same thing

Another person told me he said he voted for Bush and contributed to his campaign, however I don't know this for a fact. My husband says he is a republican and can't be trustee, he has in the last 6 months give the Bush Administration a hard time, especially on imorting jobs among other things.

6. Lou is disgusted with the NeoCONS and he does a great job...

on the exporting of America. I think he is not a happy camper at CNN and he certainly didn't appreciate the crappy anti-Randi smear he was assigned.

7. I like him on the border issue....and other issues.....I think hes

fair for a conservative.....maybe hes the old style conservative...not the new off the chart looney's who try to pass as leaders.

8. agree...and something tells me he may be moving away from voting repubican

after seeing all the garbage they're pulling.

9. I get the same feeling, too

Sometimes its difficult to tell what someone really stands for and what the network wants them to tell you, and let me just say folks....its ALL about the networks
