    Riding Lou Dobbs’ coattails (ALIPAC)

    Riding Lou Dobbs’ coattails

    Lou Dobbs

    Lou Dobbs, the tough-talking anchor for CNN, is expert at riding popular opinion. Last week, a group called Americans for Legal Immigration attached itself firmly to Dobbs’ popularity as it launched an effort to draft him for president.

    If nothing else, it was a good public relations move by ALIPAC, headed by William Gheen. The group shares Dobbs’ fervor against illegal immigration.

    Kevin Horrigan reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that in the first 24 hours Gheen’s group received campaign pledges, should Dobbs choose to run, totaling $160,000.

    Compare that to ALIPAC’s own fund raising. According to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports, through June of last year, the group raised $72,418 for the 2007-08 election cycle. It raised $47,433 in the 2005-06 cycle.

    In his column headlined “Loupublicans and Dobbsocrats,â€

    Dobbs is on the radio but it's like a show about business.

    I guess the idea of Lou Dobbs running is making some people nervous. The fact that I hear his name mentioned frequently is a good indication of the impact he is having on American society. Some people can't accept new ideas (like an independent running) and so they try to laugh it off. Small minds think alike.

    Defining WHO Lou Dobbs listeners really are

    One day a middle-class, harding-working woman who had just retired decided to relax and watch TV news (yes, at that point the lady had not watched enough to realize that one cable news network was a mouthpiece for the Republicans and another was pushing the Democrats.

    After a week of evening news watching and noting a decided "SPIN" in content of same, she clicked to CNN and low and behold a man came on mad as hell about the current situation on the American Border with Mexico. He talked plain, informatively, tough and determined - all qualities I happen to admire.

    THUS A LOU DOBBS FAN WAS BORN.

    Roamng the internet, the lady became informed on illegal immigration, trade deficits and policies, political SPIN, and she learned that, just as she discovered 4 years previously, neither Republicans or Democrats were addressing the needs of people like her and her family.

    People who write about Americans blindly following Lou Dobbs are no more informed about "real Americans" than the Republican and Democratic parties are.

    And, by the way, all my family became registered INDEPENDENTS 4 year before we started to watch Mr. Dobbs.
