That’s why we need an alternative to the tyrannical two-party system, at least, or a different new generation form of direct democracy or oath of allegiance by the majority to a natural honest leader who does not actively seek office, but rather be commissioned and mandated to serve the country.

Let me translate:

IOW, an Islamic Republic one-party state where the religious leaders select a puppet president to handle the day-to-day responsibilities of government and maintain an absolute veto over everything he does.  He’ll be honest in that he’ll swear to do exactly as he’s told and will do so.

In the words of George Washington Plunkett, Tammany Hall Boss “An honest politician is one who when he’s bought, stays bought.”

Yeah. That’s better.  Don’t we have that right now in George W. Bush?  And hasn’t he f***ed up EVERYTHING he’s touched or ignored?

Well, it seems to me that a trend is already in place whereby all those running for high offices on the Republican side will be red necks, war-mongers or third rate ex-actors and anchors or straight fascists.

On the other hand, all those running for high office on the Democratic side are all cowards, AIPAC-puppets, sell out or power-hungry.

What will be common across the board between these two partisan groups is that they are all power-hungry who spare no effort, regardless of the means, to cheat you out of your money and vote.

That’s why we need an alternative to the tyrannical two-party system, at least, or a different new generation form of direct democracy or oath of allegiance by the majority to a natural honest leader who does not actively seek office, but rather be commissioned and mandated to serve the country.

Though I am not a political scientist by training, I will make an attempt to elaborate a theory, if given lease on few more years of life and good health. I know well in advance that there will be few takers, especially from an Arabian Thoroughbred. However, the effort will be worth it, since I can always take it with me to the grave on the hope that the dead might be in a better position to see what the “Alive-Dead” ones of our times fail to see.

You must be one very misable person! I have not seen you post anything in a positive vein and you seem to enjoy personally attacking others who obviously don’t agree with your cynical views. I have yet to read a “post” of yours that serves to offer a reasoned alternative view. Why? Maybe you just like to feed your ego?

I have been a fan of Lou Dobbs for at least 4 years and though I can’t say I agree with him all the time, I think he has integrity and character. In all the time I have watched his show I have never seen him attack LEGAL IMMIGANTS but I have seen him repeatedly denounce disengenious politicians, business lobbyists and media anchors who promote ILLEGAL IMIGRATION to protect agendas they should be ashamed of. I have never once heard him attack any legal immigrant or even an illegal immigrant on the basis of their nationality or race.
My perception of his views on illigal imigratition are that they are fair and balanced.
I have noticed that many of those who attack Lou for his commentary have self serving political or economic agendas and care little for the lives illegal immigrant must live in this country because they aren’t in a legal position to go to any government agency seeking help from slum landlords, unscupulous employers, or even the racist bigots who look down on them because of their nationalty. There are relatively easy remedies for the problems involved with illegal imigration but first and foremost, the problems must be acknowledged honestly and the law must be upheld or repealed. Lou is opinionated for sure but that is his right as a citizen and as host of his show (his show is introduced as “news and opinion” at the begining of each broadcast.)
After reading this it is possible you will attribute my views as that of a republican but you will be wrong (I will vote for Barrack Obama, I am very opposed to the wars in the Middle East, I think Bush and many in his Administration should have been impeached or fired long ago and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are total wastes. I will not vote for a political party I will vote for the best possible candidate. I am a Citizen who loves his country.

New Jersey woud be a good start for Dobbs. I would like to see him reverse the toll road scams New Jersey has seen fit to enact under Corzine.

Or your business? or anything. This is beyond ridiculous. Always thought he was a redneck in Georgia.

Wish he were running for the Senate, that way he could filibuster anymore attempts at giving amnesty to illegal immigrants. I know some of you will quibble at my using the term amnesty, which is fine, but for those of you who do support the idea of amnesty, please tell me how it benefits this country to continue to import more unskilled labor into this country, when for the last twenty plus years we have seen nothing but stagnating wages? I have a saying about illegal immigration, it goes like this: if we can’t ship your job to the third world, then we will ship the third world to your job.
