Draft Dobbs Web Site Launched
First Al Gore. Then Mike Bloomberg. And now, well, the URL pretty much says it all: http://www.loudobbsforpresident.org/.
Yes, the Draft Lou Dobbs movement is up and running, thanks to an organization called Americans for Legal Immigration.
"Lou Dobbs is right about the issues concerning illegal immigration, no AMNESTY, and secure borders!," the site proclaims. "Lou Dobbs is right about our deplorable trade agreements and the war on middle class America. Lou Dobbs is right about the rising military threat from communist China!"
Americans for Legal Immigration acknowledges that "Lou Dobbs does not want to run for President and does not consider himself a politician." But they say there are times when "history demands" great men act even when they don't want to. On the site, you can fill out a form if you're interested in contributing to or volunteering in the Draft Dobbs effort.
Dobbs told the Wall Street Journal last Monday that he isn't planning to run for president but "cannot say never."
In an new commentary, the CNN host argues that the "partisan nonsense and predictable platitudes of this presidential campaign does not augur well for the nation." He adds that "none of the candidates of either party is capable of extricating us from the mess their partisan politics have created."
