Is Lou Dobbs determined to bring down the House of *?
I'm starting to think so! Yesterday and today he has been laying out the case for more criminal and treasonous indictments against Fraudulent Son. * bypassed the usual channels for approving UAE control of our ports and MORE! Next introducing a book about * called: IMPOSTER! I love it!
:woohoo: Go Lou!! :D

1. Remember the peaceful pre-* days when Lou's show was called
"Moneyline?"

7. He used to epitomize what was wrong in the 90's
The blind worship of All Things Corporate. With CEO's and investment analysts as the New Heroes and the Font of All Wisdom.

He used to drive me crazy in the 90's as part of the Mass Delusion that the interests of Wall St. were the interests of Main St.

I'm glad he saw the light, though I'm not sure why.

5. He should. He wasn't exactly helpful about exposing BushInc when it
mattered in 2000 and 2004.

Kerry made important speeches about port security and laid out detailed plans for securing them FOR TWO YEARS - most media chose to ignore him and the seriousnes of his warnings, including Dobbs.

8. Dobbs gets his head on straight , for a while anyway.
Then he will go vote GOP.

Lets hope he sees the light, and changes parties.

hes been this way for a few years now.

hes completely baffled by the bush administration over ALOT of things.
ive watched over the years and he critises more than praises EVERY night.

hes an old school conservative, not one of these bastard neo-thugs.

12. Maybe he has decided to give his ratings a boost.
If he starts bashing Bushco nightly, I am sure alot more people will tune in instead of switching the channel.

14. Lou is a twit. Don't let him fool you.
Just another pompous white male trying to tell us all what to think.

15. From a 2004 article on Dobbs...
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4670239/

CNN's Lou Dobbs is a man on a mission
He's telling the public about the dangers of sending jobs overseas



....Unapologetic, Dobbs says he’s driving a story of critical importance with “Exporting America,” the program’s catchy tag for its series of reports.

“I think if this trend continues, is allowed to continue, that the United States, without being unduly alarmist, is headed toward if not a third-world category than a second-world category as a nation,” Dobbs said in a recent interview. Without tarring all corporate executives, Dobbs said, “There are some who simply look at this (U.S. economy) as a convenient piggy bank to loot, and the worker be damned.”

.....Characterizations of his economic stance are way off base, asserts Dobbs, who describes himself as a lifelong Republican who remains moderate in his views. “I think every American should be offended by anyone ... who would suggest there are only two choices in trade policy, protectionism or free trade,” Dobbs said. “There are a host of choices between those polar extremes. The policy I favor is balanced trade, which is the policy pursued by all of our principal trading partners.”

His passion over the issue was stoked by the refusal of several chief executive officers to acknowledge “there was any negative impact” from offshoring jobs, he said.

Whether his message is getting through to business owners or under their skin, Dobbs maintains that viewers are hearing it — and appreciate it. “People are literally saying, ‘Thank you for talking about an issue that we feel is important,”’ Dobbs said. “Our viewers fully understand this transcends party lines and partisan politics. There is an absolute national value in truth on these issues, and we can’t ignore them.”

16. Lou has been so wound up lately. I love it!
It's hard to believe he's actually a Republican.

17. This Port Deal is RIGHT UP Lou's alley. He won't let up.
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 06:57 PM by spanone
He's dogged imigration for years and has been a pain in ass to this administration over it.

This is the ultimate outsourcing. Go get 'em Lou.

Once he embraces an issue, he doesn't let go. Go Lou!

20. I don't see how noticing what is going on is in any way political. It
is just the truth.

23. He asks questions every day. He may ask questions from the vantage
point of an emotional economist. But he is asking them. Every day. What about the middle class? What about that part of us we want to grow? (as opposed to the other parts Dobbs doesn't want grown.. like uber-elites & poverty).
