    Less than two weeks after his controversial departure from CNN, Lou Dobbs affirmed his intentions to run for president in 2012--"Yes is the answer," Dobbs he replied on Fred Thompson's radio show--and third-party heavyweights are right behind him. Currently, Dobbs is without a party, and though his harsh words for Obama and conservative stance on immigration have led some to believe he would run as a Republican, third-party political operatives are already wooing him. Former Sen. Dean Barkley, the Reform Party member who managed Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's winning third-party campaign, says he's urged Dobbs to run before and thinks him "a perfect candidate for us." Bay Buchanan, who ran Pat Buchanan's 2000 presidential campaign, says the "enormous movement" for third-party candidates is even stronger now than when Pat ran, adding "I think he can win." Bill Hillsman, who worked as a message man for famed third-party gubernatorial candidates Kinky Friedman and Chris Daggett, notes that Dobbs has "an audience" and national recognition. This leaves him uniquely poised to give the two-party system a run for its money, particularly in New Jersey, where Dobbs resides and Daggett ran. Skeptics, however, warn the the Electoral College won't be working in his favor.  http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/?cid=bsa:topnav:cs

    Here is a man who just last year achieved the rank of 5 in the Boston Phoenix List of the Unsexiest Men on the planet.

    Here is a man known for his scholastic research along with the sharp journalistic proboscis extending from his massive ballooning pate:

    Dobbs says "we're going to have to move into street demonstrations," "protest physically and visibly in the streets"

    In recent days, on both radio and TV, CNN host Lou Dobbs has provided cover for conspiracy theorists who claim that President Obama lacks a valid birth certificate and is therefore ineligible to be president. Specifically, Dobbs has repeatedly said that Obama needs to "produce a birth certificate" and cast doubt on the birth certificate posted online by FactCheck.org. Moreover, Dobbs has claimed that "reasonable people should be interested" in the issue and that Obama has refused to put the questions to rest.



    ·  Dobbs says "one could argue reasonably" Obama admin. is "socialist," agrees with Kudlow that tax cuts are effective stimulus

    ·  Dobbs says Mehlman -- media director of "hate group" FAIR -- has "interesting views" on immigration

    And along with this kind of grasp upon the truths of our day, is more than just prescient:

      FLASHBACK -- Dobbs: "It's just killing the left wing in this country that they can't force CNN to fire me"

    And, at the same time, he is cherished by his journalistic peers:

    Lou Dobbs didn't become a TV celebrity by being stupid--crazy, sure, but not stupid. So it's hard to take seriously his remark that he may run for president. Dobbs has about as much chance of becoming president as I do of winning "American Idol." 

    The last time a paranoid gasbag with a grudge against Mexico ran, his name was Ross Perot...and his candidacy helped elect Bill Clinton. Lou Dobbs running in 2012? Barack Obama should be so lucky

    And of course, ten minutes following Fathead's announcement that he might run for president someday (since he loses his radio show as soon as he announces and he just would hate to throw away ten million bucks like that) a blog appeared entitled: Loudobbsforpresident.org. :

    We are excited by the recent news that Lou Dobbs may be considering a run for President of the United States or possibly for US Senate against pro-Amnesty incumbent Robert Menedez (D-NJ). We want to show our support for Lou Dobbs for President or Senate because Lou Dobbs has been loyal to the American public on tough issues such as illegal immigration, Globalism, and the economy.

    Americans are sick and tired of all the failures and business as usual in Washington, DC. A Lou Dobbs run would be exciting and lift the spirits of many Americans who want real change in Washington, instead of negative changes for Americans.

    Lou Dobbs has recently been targeted by anti-American groups that want Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. ..blah blah blah blah

    Please explore our site here at Lou Dobbs for President. Please consider signing up below to show your support. While we are not collecting any money, your pledge of financial support may increase Lou's chances of running. http://www.loudobbsforpresident.org/

    So right off the bat, anyone who supports some other position than rounding up and deporting twelve million people is a member of an anti-American group. Anti-American, indeed!!!

    And of course, great examples of American Journalism like the Wall Street Journal just love the guy:

    Lou Dobbs for President? Don't laugh. After months of telling reporters that he "absolutely" would not consider leaving his highly-rated CNN show in which he crusades against free trade and illegal immigration, Mr. Dobbs posted a commentary on his Web site last week predicting a surprise new presidential candidate in 2008. The mystery candidate is an "independent populist . . . who understands the genius of this country lies in the hearts and minds of its people and not in the prerogatives and power of its elites

    His playbook would be similar to that of Ross Perot in 1992, who didn't enter the presidential race until the major parties began holding their primaries but quickly shot up to 25% in many polls.

    "No one, seemingly, is listening to the average-but-angry voter," notes the Boston Phoenix. "So an independent populist-style candidacy could fill a huge vacuum." Mr. Dobbs, who has written best-selling books deploring the government's "war on the middle class," would be a natural fit in this campaign playing the role of the anchorman in the 1970s movie "Network," who bellowed, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

    "http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119515461427494522.html?mod=blog

    Yeah, no one, seemingly, is listening to the average but angry voter. What a bunch of shite. Mule shite. Mangy mule shite for sure.

    THOSE ARE THE ONLY VOICES HEARD ON TV TODAY FOR CHRISSAKES!!!!

    Frankly, I would vote for Smoochy before I ever considered pulling a lever for Fathead Dobbs.
