Thread: Lou is making some happy with his new stance on Amnesty

Dobbs abducted by aliens: Politics is making a strange bedfellow of Lou

Lou Dobbs may be getting into politics, but first politics is getting into Lou Dobbs.

For years, from his perch as CNN's angriest man, Dobbs was an anti-illegal-immigration crusader and the scourge of anyone who proposed giving the undocumented a path to legalization.

A typical commentary from April 2007: "The Bush administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party are preparing to take another legislative leap at imposing a massive illegal alien amnesty on American citizens."

But now that Dobbs is contemplating a run for U.S. Senate from Hispanic-heavy New Jersey - or even, yikes, the White House - Howard Beale has gone touchy feely. Witness his Friday interview with the Spanish network Telemundo: "I can tell you right now that I am one of your greatest friends and I mean for us to work together."

And: "We need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions."

And: "What isn't working is a penalty to those who are in this country illegally for whom we can both be building a bridge to the future in which there is legalization and at the same time constructing an environment in which everyone is clear and unequivocal about the need for border security and a regulated flow of immigration."

There is a silver lining. At least the man is somersaulting in the right direction.

Is that the 20 percent group buying that line from Mr. Dobbs? Even they cannot possibly take him seriously. They may try to use him, but who is going to really believe this waffle?

Psalm 139:14

They are probably glad for the change and hope we follow him into the abyss but other than that I am sure they have no use for him.

Let me play devil's advocate for a moment:

Can we consider the possibility that Lou is giving lip service in order to get elected, but will then shift gears once elected and revert back to his stance as a true American patriot?

melena29, as you play the devil's advocate - that has been done as we know, recent history being our guide. However, aren't the American people growing weary of the bait and switch with politicians and candidates? More often than not, those once great sounding campaign speeches and promises give way to corruption and to the selling out of America. We could hope for a sunny outcome such as this, but is it for real? And are we living in the bad is good, and good is bad language world, where you say one thing, but it means something else? Isn't that really telling lies?

I don't like that anyone would feel forced to use those tricks to do something good. Benefit of the doubt to Lou Dobbs real intentions if elected? Should we risk our nation for a chance?

It is just hard to believe what has unfolded. We are so disappointed.

Psalm 139:14

This is the time when we need to direct all our disappointment and anger into action. We the People are over comers and unstoppable when we get a direction. Let us all become resolute in our determination to save this great country and stand against all odds.

Highly unlikely since his credibility is out the window now. I predict that like Jim Gilchrist, Lou Dobbs will be scorned and exiled not only in our circles. But true conservatives and independents will abandon him. The left would never trust him as well.

I have seen very little of this Lou, I do not watch TV, have seen him posted here and a couple of clips on youtube, heard him a couple times on talk radio as a guest or just commentary clips from one of his shows.

With that being said and little interest in Lou, the question that remains, if Lou were to run for dog catcher, would not the other canidate have much fodder for his cannon? (How much dialouge recorded over how many years?)

If elections are a sham and money and appointments are what really count, then Lou could or might win a seat as dog catcher. JMHO
