Reply #37: Dobbs and The Democrats

[Robson]

Kharma....This is the relationship as I see it between the Democratic Party and Lou Dobbs. As always I could be 100% wrong.

It's not an odd couple but it's not a perfect match. The Party base and the Dobbs desciples agree on far more than they differ. Dobbs and Blue Dogs have much in common.

Although the Democratic Party base may be suspicious of Dobbs, most of Dobb's followers will loyally vote Democratic. I do see illegal immigration and amnesty as a big clinker in this relationship. I look at like this, when Bush wants something, be 150% assured it is for big business and not the betterment of the American people.

IMHO the Democratic Party of pre 1970s era would have been anti-amnesty, pro-enforcement with aggressive action against employers, and most importantly been unabashedly pro American worker.
