Dobbs Says He Now Backs Amnesty

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

By: Dan Weil

In a little-noticed interview last week, Lou Dobbs announced that he now supports amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States

Since he left his job as a CNN commentator two weeks ago, Dobbs’ has been bandied about as a Senate candidate in New Jersey. And now he is indicating that he might run for president.

But Dobbs became famous for his strong views on illegal immigration and foreign trade. Now that he’s a would-be politician, those views appear to be softening. Dobbs told Spanish-language network Telemundo he now supports a plan to legalize millions of undocumented workers, a stance he long lambasted as an unfair "amnesty."

What is wrong with people. Oh well I never looked at him seriously for President. I think originially some FREEPERS did but quickly changed their minds way before this article.

That bullet fired at Dobbs’ house (while his wife was in the driveway) must have scared him sh**less.

Hell, if you shoot enough bullets at me, I’ll pretend to believe President Omoslem ISN’T moslem!

I’ll even pretend to believe Soetoro is American.... and not a Communist.

I’d even be willing to pretend he’s black (and his mother’s not white).

But no matter how many bullets you shoot at me, I just can’t pretend “global warming” is real.... that’s asking too much.

Seriously, since zero has been elected Howdy Doody could be a serious candidate that match the qualifications of the current President!

I never cared for the Huckster but I guess since my opinion of Huckster is so low, I can have Dobbs below pond scum...no problem :)

Don’t worry Winston, when the bullet finally comes you’ll be grateful. Two and two really will equal five.

good God, took him what, a week to change his views. He was one of the most outspoken against amnesty for illegals now in a span of a week he turns around and supports it. What a turd

I know and that is what makes me so nervous. We are going to have Presidents from now on that are popular and the “in thing” instead of serious people who understand the constitution and how to run the government. We will never have another ugly President. I always wondered why people cared what our President looked like. Hell if they are ugly maybe they will stay off the tv...

If he runs, he takes away votes from Sarah Palin and others. He will guarantee another 4 years of the Marxist in Chief

We should also consider whether he didn’t feel that strongly about illegal immigration in the first place, and simply acted as though he did for the ratings.

Actually what he said was carefully worded.

He said he might back a "path to legalization" if the "right conditions were met".

The conditions could be like....first you go home, file a request to immigrate legally, and then if you come back, we won't charge you with a violation of 8 USC 1325.

That's an amnesty too....but Maria Celeste wasn't bright enough to go further.

But the effect worked. Lots of people here bought into it, rught?

If he wants to run for Senator against Menendez, he just immunized himself.

Lou's not stupid. The other side is.
