After reading this commentary from Lou Dobbs, I have some questions...Which political party is responsible for conducting no oversight of the Iraq War?
Which political party is currently doing all it can to stifle debate on the war in the Senate?
Which political party has ignored the items on Dobbs' laundry list of issues (and I'm sorry, but illegal immigration doesn't carry the same weight with me as trying to save our jobs, the environment and our schools)?
Which political party has put up road blocks in the Senate to all of the legislation passed by the U.S. House as part of the 110th Congress?
The Repugs, that's who!
I will never tell you that the Democrats are perfect, but let's get real here, OK? Blaming corporations and lobbyists and their influence on our legislators is all well and good, but if a 900-pound gorilla is smacking you over the head with a baseball bat, you're going to worry about the gorilla and not the size of the bat, correct?
(Hey, this is "theater of the mind," OK? Work with me, people...!!)
It's a shame that Dobbs engages in his own brand of demagoguery here (blaming both parties equally, I mean) because he makes some good points (and kudos for taking on those DLC frauds). However, fundamentally inaccurate commentaries such as this ultimately lead to cynicism and loathing instead of the constructive action that we need to get our government working on our behalf for a change.
