Why are people encouraging others to partake in the biggest crime of all, which is newspapers, pundits, journalists and tv personalities using their enormous influence to bias viewers and endorse candidates. I don't want Lou Dobbs to endorse Ron Paul.

I would like to admit, I am a Lou Dobbs fan. I am reading his book "War On The Middle Class"

I to have think it's weird Lou Dobbs never endorsed Ron Paul. Then again, that might have something to do with why Tucker Carlson lost his show.

Lou Dobbs is more of a protectionist than an advocate of free trade. I have to admit, so am I. The thing is many of the trade deals we have are not free trade, but manipulated trade like NAFTA , and CAFTA.

Lou Dobbs points out in "War On The Middle Class" that China has a 25% tariff on the US auto trade so there's no way we could ever sell cars there. The US only has a 3% tariff in place for when China starts marketing cars to the US. This isn't in the book, but I have learned from the company I work for, you have to have a factory presence in China, in order to sell goods in their market--they are protectionists.

Aaron Russo was a bit of a protectionist himself. He pointed out taxes used to be collected on tariffs rather than taxing the people. When we switched to an Income Tax that switched the tax burden from business activity to working class people.

Lou Dobbs also points out in "War On The Middle Class" that every time Bush makes a tax cut, without cutting government spending the tax burden is being shifted onto working class people.

I've heard Lou go on and on about his "populists" views, saying things like "None of these candidates are even talking about blah blah..." and I'd mumble to myself-- "uhhh... Lou, Ron Paul is."

I sent him a few emails saying the same thing and ended up just calling him a willful liar, which he appears to be.

if someone in the "close-but-no-cigar" crowd would BREAK THE STORY OF THE CENTURY!

Freedom is an inside job

Worse than "Right vs Left is just a backroom poker game", the right and left is just an illusion. The CFR/Trilateralists are now running both parties. Any play between "conservative" and "liberal" has become little more than a bad joke. Those in politics who call themselves "liberals" are essentially communist in their beliefs. They think we are their flock of sheep, to stupid and dependent to make our own decisions, to weak to either profit or suffer by the outcomes. They want to take care of us, as if we are pets or animals even as they work to expand their socialist territory to encompass the entire western hemisphere.

The Republicans are lost in the woods. They are behaving like Nazis, treating us like the enemy, feeling the need to watch and listen to our every move while selling us out to the globalists. The are working as hard as the Democrats to distort and undermine the Constitution. The media, including Lou Dobbs, are just looking for something to yap about when there are no real differences in where the parties are heading, just slightly different in the paths they are taking.

Great post, great comments by Tom and RacerTim!

The Devil is in the details, and you guys are threading inside the finer points in the web for control. Or as some might call it, the matrix.

Dobbs, Obberman, WND, Barr, are some of the "almost but no cigar" crowd. Telling us enough to keep us entertained, but hiding the whole truth..... to.... keep us entertained.

Truth is difficult to arrive at, but once found opens your eyes to finer details. You, gentleman, are awake and seeing TV in BTMHD!

Congratulations! :0)!

I dont warch him often enough to hear every little detail, but I am glad you grounded me. I guess it's similiar to a revelation with Oberman. As I was watching him and think everything he was saying about the conservative republican party was right on, he then later agreed with Walmart dropping the case agianst the lady who double dipped on the insurance compaines. I couldnt believe I witnessed a public trial by media, embarrasing. I guess one can get so frustrated that he or she only really hears what they want, example; FOX/O'reilly and the brain dead, nuke'm and turn'em into glass crowd. I had to tell my mother inlaw last night to turn off FOX, quite sending me crap about if Obama gets in office the world will end stuff and get educated. Right vs Left is just a backroom poker game, both have fans but neither groups will allow new players. They will protect their little illegal game to the end. Even if it means loosing a hand or two.

If conservative means free markets, individual freedom, low regulation, low taxes. Lou Dobbs condemns the North American Union, but on every other issue he sounds much more like a populist Democrat than anything else. During the financial meltdown in March he was railing over and over for more regulation on financial markets and out and out wealth redistribution in terms of "helping average Americans in the mortgage crisis."

Like many Democrats, Lou Dobbs would agree with Ron Paul on one or two issues, but when it comes down to really backing the fundamental principles of liberty, which would have to start with ending legal armed robbery (welfare), there is no way he would buy in. He's positioned himself as a "man of the people," which to him means stop giving government loot to Wall Street and give more of it to "the people."
