Once more. Lou Dobbs as President.

Would you consider him?

Screw it. I haven't time to putz with it.


If "yes" would it matter which party was running him, or would you select him if an independent?
 
Yeah, I'd "consider" him. But have no real idea if I would vote for him.

I don't know much about him. But I presume he has some financial acumen, which would be nice for a change. I understand from the Libs around here he is anti-illegal immigration so IMO that's a good start.

No matter which party he ran for, I'd still check him out.

he's actually part of the secret amero cabal and this is all part of their dastardly plot to sell the US to mexico

I second this post. Don't know much about him but I'd give him a good consideration.
 
I like Lou Dobbs. He seems to know what this country's problems are, but whether he has any workable solutions is another matter.
 
I'm curious as to which side he'd take more votes from. I'm thinking tea party Republican types might get behind him.
 
Dobbs is great at complaining but I don't think he has what it takes to bring people together to hammer out solutions to the problems. It's almost like it's his opinion or nothing and he's too stubborn to compromise.

I was interested to see him marketed as a center/right choice, almost like he could take a Republican ticket. He's all about strong public schools and i believe healthcare, very protectionist regarding the borders and trade but seems to support US involvement in international issues. I think he's socially progressive. Correct me if I am wrong on any of those items but there is no way he would rally the base of the Republican party or get the nomination with those beliefs/principles.
 
I really don't think we need a xenophobic birther who called Condi Rice a 'cotton picker', spread lies about Mexicans infecting us with leprosy, etc.. etc... etc.

No it wouldn't matter what party he ran on, not only would I not vote for a piece of trash like him, very few others would either.
 
I heard him interviewed in March of 2006, he sounded rational, he would be a good shot in the arm for the republican party.

Far better than Palin, who would drive the party further toward the extremist religious nuts.
 
I like the man and his Mexican wife could help with Hispanic vote. But lets be real he's not bought by the elite and tells it like it is - thus no chance.
 
Hey, if Lou Dobbs is over the constitutional age of 35, and is a US citizen, why should not he have a right to run for the Presidency of the USA. I can say the same thing about Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, and so many more GOP members. Why should any of those otherwise qualified candidates delimited them selves by the constrain that the GOP can only bestow the GOP nomination of one and only one of them.

So I propose they all run for President in the general election of 2012 and thus avoid all those divisive GOP primaries in the process.
 
If he goes forward, this is going to make an already dismal outlook for Republicans in 2012 even worse.
 
I like his beliefs. But I couldn't get behind somebody without executive leadership or some experience applicable to leading the executive branch. We see where that got us.
 
Lou Dobbs gave birthers airtime while continuing to ask for evidence that had already been provided and yet claims to be "moderate." He is a sensationalist liar.
