Lou Dobbs: Senate, White House A Possibility

[question everything]

Source: AHN

Former CNN host Lou Dobbs says he is not ruling out running for Senate or making a run for the White House in 2012.

Dobbs, 64, has been answering questions about his future since leaving CNN earlier in November after being pressured by network executives to alter his style of journalism and take a more middle-of-the-road approach.

Dobbs is known to be a big critic of President Barack Obama, and is strongly anti-immigration.

The 30-year veteran said if he decides to run for U.S. Senate it will be in New Jersey, where he is a resident, and if he decides to run for the White House it will be on a third-party ticket. Dobbs has not made a decision as of yet.

Hey Lou, and Giuliani, in the Senate you are one of 100 and as a junior one you have to take your time and wait to be called upon. It is different from having your own show, or kingdom, to do as you please.

Yes, another freshman Senator found it boring and did not want to wait his turn and is now sitting in the White House but it does not mean that it will work for you. He was "fresh" - as our beloved Joe Biden said - while you, both of you, are old shoes.

1. The only run Lou is gonna make to the white house is a beer run

2. Lou Dobbs in the white house?

There isn't one black or Hispanic person who would vote for him. Not one. Plus you put the white Dems who would vote against him and there's not a chance.

[FBaggins]

3. Run Lou Run!

But make sure it's a run for President on a 3rd party ticket!

[MiniMe]

4. I only have 1 comment:

Palin/Dobbs?

5. Lou Dobbs: Senate, White House A Possibility

NO. FUCKING. WAY. Dream on, bigot hypocrite.

[LynnTheDem]

6. So is the Tooth Fairy.

And about as likely.

[RKP5637]

7. What the name of his party, "Bigots for America?" Hatred first, country last. n/t

[Soylent Brice]

8. delusions of grandeur much?

[hamsterjill]

9. Me thinks you're right!!!

Lou appears to be a little bit full of himself!

[JerseygirlCT]

10. That's too funny

I think he really is off his rocker.

[CLANG]

11. OMG! WTF??? Dobbs wins the most outrageously huge ego prize!!

What a frigging imbecile! He doesn't have a chance in hell to get elected dogcatcher!

[Faygo Kid]

18. Rush is no longer eligible, I assume.

Lifetime Achievement Award for Rush.

Lou is ready to join him in the Hall of Shame.

[laylah]

12. ...

[Jello Biafra]

13. I'll apply the same rules to Dobbs as I did with Glenn Beck...

Does he have executive experience?

[BootinUp]

14. What an ego Lou!

I always knew you had a hugely inflated opinion about yourself.

[47of74]

15. And he ought to select as his running mate

A) That fat ass drug addict Limbaugh.
B) Captain Phone Sex
C) Sarah Palin

Any of the above would help him lose.

[itsrobert]

16. Why should we question everything?

And why should I question question everything?

[santamargarita]

17. I thought his spaceship left for Planet Xenophobia?

[Bitwit1234]

19. He's a dreamer alright

He is dreaming an impossible dream. Impossible cause it will never happen to him. If he can be thrown off a republican cable station, because the public is sick of him, how do you think he could get enough votes to even make him a contender.

[catnhatnh]

20. Steaming Pile of Shit....

...in this case the "news article". "30 year veteran"???? Of fucking what? Reading this shit I had to wiki to find they meant he spent 30 worthless years spreading xenophobic bullshit as a "newsman".

[AlbertCat]

21. Reagan, McCain, Dobbs......?

Why do Repugs think the White House is an old folks home??????
You only have to be in your 30s, not your 60s.


Seriously, could it not be clearer that the job of President of the United States is merely a PR job to Repugs?

[question everything]

24. I think that Palin will agree with you here

[ldf]

22. oblivion

is also a possibility...

[BlueIdaho]

23. Yeah - He's running on the "Hate Is Great" platform.

[Ocracoker16]

possibility but certainly not in reality

[Ocracoker16]

possibility but certainly not in reality

26. Ex-CNN anchor Lou Dobbs is considering running for president in 2012

Source: NY Daily News


Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs has never been elected to any government office, but he said Monday he’s considering a run for the White House in 2012.

During an interview on WTOP radio in Washington, Dobbs fueled rumors he’s seeking a bid for public office, possibly the highest office in the land, when asked if speculation about an Oval Office bid is “crazy talk.”

“What’s so crazy about that?” Dobbs, 64, replied. “Golly!”

So, is it crazy talk or is it real, the radio station persisted.

“Well, I’ll tell you this much -- it’s one of the discussions that we’re having,” he said. “For the first time, I’m actually listening to some people about politics.”

Run Dobbs Run! I'd love to see you and Palin split the whacko xenophobe racist vote!

[knowbody0]

27. you betcha!

will be fun to devour them together. can't wait

[Turbineguy]

28. As my short German friend would say:

"No. Voggin. Vay!"

[tk2kewl]

61. I had a really big tall german friend who used to...

use asshole as an adjective... i.e. "that assholey guy would never win"

[tabatha]

29. Yep, Dobbs and Palin

Jon Stewart, et al, will never run out of material.

[robo50]

30. Let me go throw up! But then again..

The freepers and teabaggers will love this, but they only make up 20-30% of American voters, at the very most.

I'm not worried, but there will be a lot of work to do to defeat any growth of this kind of Neaderthal thinking.

[DavidDvorkin]

31. I don't want to see them split the crazy vote during the primary

If that happened, a less obviously crazy candidate might take the nomination. I want the GOP to nominate a crazy xenophobe ticket.

[tblue]

35. Naah. If she runs, he won't run against her.

He's waiting for her to decide. I think they all are. She sucks all the oxygen out of an election.

[SharksBreath]

52. Dobbs is not a Palin fan

She has the crazies he wants.

[RamboLiberal]

38. Nah - I'm thinking of Dobbs running as an Independent

and not going through a primary ala Perot. No way in hell do I see him going the traditional route.

[DavidDvorkin]

45. That would be great, of course.

[tblue]

65. I'm for that! Show me a petition and I'll sign it! nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

32. Yes. Palin/Dobbs, or vice versa. Bring it on, baby!

[prolesunited]

33. Hahaha

Go for it, Lou!

[hlthe2b]

34. someone remind me: is Dobbs a Palin fan?

[ingac70]

36. knock yourself out, Lou.

The Stormfronters are going to have a myriad of choices among GOPers in 2012!

[GReedDiamond]

37. Paging Orly Taitz! Let's see your Birth Certificate, "Lou,"...

...or is it "Luís"?

[FSogol]

39. Wasn't Dobbs Deported?

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/u_s_deports_lou_do...

At any rate, better check the birth certificate.

[CLANG]

40. Only reaction I have :

[aquart]

41. Alheimer's? Tiny little strokes?

[Zoeisright]

46. There's something wrong with him. He sounds like he's had strokes.

He's going to have to get some speech therapy before he runs for office.

[havocmom]

47. Thinkin his family might wanna consider having him declared incompetent

before he spends their inheritance on his folly

[harun]

42. For what party, Fascist?

[FarLeftFist]

43. My God. The Mayans were right.

[DebbieCDC]

60. That almost got salad spewed on my keyboard FarLeft

[bluestateguy]

44. Dobbs: an opposition researcher's wet dream

Thousands of hours of tape to choose from.

[nyc 4 Biden]

48. "...possibly the highest office in the land..."

What a weird thing to write.

[TheDebbieDee]

49. Run, Lou! Run! I dare you, you moron!

[seattle_blue]

50. I sure hope he runs

Is it me or is there a segment of America..(the right) Making the WWE look like a sophisticated Shakespearian play?

[kestrel91316]

51. What. A. Joke.

[Bette Noir]

53. Hahahahahahaha!

Wait... It's not April 1.

[shadowknows69]

54. Please please please?

Saturate the race with right wing lunatics please?

[AngryOldDem]

55. What? On the Bull Shit party ticket? n/t

[wowimthere]

56. Dobbs' ego is talkin' again. Politics gets crazier by the day

[UTUSN]

57. K&R #4 for bwa-HAH!1 n/t

[pleah]

58. He'll never make it to 2012,

He'll have a stroke during one of his tirades.

[unblock]

59. HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

and he's got almost as much chance as i do!

[Odin2005]

62. Big, fat ego.

[LaPera]

63. Run Lou run! Please run! Run Lou, you will be president of the United States!

These egotistical assholes listen only to the people who praise them, to the people who make money off them, and the only people they surround themselves with....They never leave, nor go outside their bubble for truth, believing people outside their bubble must love them too, simply because they themselves believe it.

[SKKY]

64. SWEET!!! I sincerely hope so!!!!

[BlueIdaho]

66. I'm pulling for an independent Dobbs/Beck ticket for 2012!

They could take plenty of votes away from a Palin/Huckabee republican duo.

End result - Democrats own the capital for eight more years.
