“Lou Dobbs is sorry about calling Gov. Eliot Spitzer an idiot. Sincerely. As for ripping the New York Democrat as arrogant, spineless and “a spoiled rich kid brat,” the host of CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” stands by those nationally broadcast broadsides. Absolutely. Dobbs has made Spitzer an almost daily target over his recent plan to ease restrictions on illegal immigrants seeking New York state driver’s licenses, mixing vitriol with sarcasm while endlessly lambasting the governor’s decision. The lifelong Republican has taken on politicians of every stripe, as when he blasted the Bush administration over port security. But his nightly diatribe against Spitzer is notable for its intensity, and for elevating a state proposal onto the national stage. “What he’s doing is an outrageous, arrogant abuse of power,” Dobbs said in an interview before a recent show. “He’s pandering to a constituency aligned directly against the interests of U.S. and New York state citizens.”" ~ Washington Post
Hopefully the remaining patriots in NY State will commence impeachment proceedings against the traitor Gov. Spitzer, as has already been suggested.

Lou Dobbs presents quite an interesting mix of left-wing populism and right-wing populism.

Here is the relevant video clip.
I don’t know whether you watch Dobbs, but Lou Dobbs Tonight is by far the best mainstream news program. Although I disagree with Dobbs on some things, he’s completely right about the war in Iraq (against), free trade (against), and immigration (against).

Dobbs is great on everything except God issues.
As far as I know he’s not religious, and doesn’t care about abortion and gay marriage and liberal activist judges trying to take God out of everything.
Another words, He doesn’t mind secularism.
But he is against multiculturalism, which is good.
And he’s against globalism, free trade, the war, which is good.

America needs more people like Lou Dobbs, and Phyllis Schlafly to speak out against “Multi National Globalism”. Until mainstream public figures come forward to indentify issues such as the “Law Of The Sea Treaty”, “Nafta/Cafta”, “Security and Prosperity Partnership”, and all of the other international treaties that are surrendering our soverignty, secrecy will continue with no oversight.
Neocons learned successfully how to box in Ross Perot, making him look and sound like “Chicken Little” claiming the sky is falling. Websites like augustreview.com have little exposure, and the average American is constantly being told that if they believe in some U.N. world conspiracy, “They must live in a trailer park and believe in allien abductions as well!”……..This offensive attack strategy has been very successful at forcing moderate conservatives from seeking more information!
I’ve met a number of people that only learned of the “Nafta Super Highway” through Lou Dobbs, while others have been screaming in vain for awhile.

If the Governor was trying to enforce a rule that did not favor the illegals it would be struck down by an activist judge as outside his responsibility.
If he’s not an idiot as Dobbs suggested he is at the very least a moron.

Now we know who elected Elliot Spitzer. It was ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Spitzer has lost all his crime fighting credibility now and forever
and all it took was a Brainwashing from ethnocentric forces engaged in an
Illegal Invasion and Colonization of the USA.
Now that he has been forced by massive negative public opinion to change,
the Illegal Alien Fifth Column cries a river of tears because the new
licenses reveal who they truly are….criminals who think their
race war trumps the Rule of Law in the USA!!!

Dobbs is one of the few true patriots left in the MSM!
