Two of the country's worst bigots are going into politics. Lou Dobbs wants to be New Jersey's next Senator and Beck is going to exorcise George Washington the first chance he gets.
And the Right Wing extremists are guaranteed to have the Wall Street Journal behind them. The WSJ is already backing any candidate that isn't Lou Dobbs. No mention of whom Beck is thinking about promoting. Talk about Murdoch having a stake in 'The Big Game.'It is laughable to believe The Wall Street Journal is actually taking this mess seriously. This is nothing more than a 'ratings grab.' First Beck is going to lead the charge that no Republican seems to be able to muster and then Dobbs is going to ride directly in the USA Senate to 'take control' of the issue.
Now, all the 'real people' of the USA need to ask themselves, "Did a shiver run down one's spine as soon as these jokers said they were going to be 'gaming politics' by active participation?" Go ahead. Admit it. As soon as the words, Beck is promoting his own party and Dobbs is running for the Presidency or the Senate, didn't everyone reach for the remote or the radio or both? Come on, get over it. They are never going to lead anything worthwhile, except, a mob scene maybe. These bozos never bothered to put their own narcissistic interests aside to explore the long existing and well established 'Third Parties' of the USA.The Populist Party (click here)
The Rise of PopulismThe People's Party (or Populist Party, as it was widely known) was much younger than the Democratic and Republican Parties, which had been founded before the Civil War....

Those are the other major Third Paries in the USA. There are others, but, their chance of winning a federal office isn't good. There has to be enough grassroots movement by any party to promote the platform and the candidates. The small third parties are having luck though, but, primarily at the local level, which is a darn good start.

...But apparently Dobbs is aware that targeting the nation's only Hispanic senator might not reflect well on someone already burdened with a reputation for hostility toward Hispanic illegal immigrants. Maybe that's why Dobbs has already begun to reverse his outspoken opposition to what he used to call "amnesty," a path to legalization for illegal immigrants. The Wall Street Journal reports that in an overlooked interview with Telemundo last Friday, Dobbs "twice mentioned a possible legalization plan for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., saying at one point that 'we need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions.'" Looks like he's getting the hang of the politician thing already.
Glenn Beck, on Fox News, is planning a series of conventions for his followers. "I'm going to teach you how to be a community organizer next year, oh, because two can play at that game," Beck said on the radio. "It's time to find our teeth and sharpen our teeth, and we're going to do it." (Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times / March 2, 2009)
It helps that a community organizer at FOX will have the backing of his media bosses. I mean who needs donors, right?
The voluble Fox News television host says he hopes (click here) to transform his personal celebrity into political action and has begun to assemble a movement to "change America's course." Beck announced his intentions at a weekend rally at a retirement community outside Orlando, Fla., where he was promoting his new book, "Arguing With Idiots." He continued outlining his ideas during his radio and TV shows Monday."America, we cannot wait for a leader anymore," Beck said. "The people must lead, and the leader will follow."
At least when the Democrats promote a media star for Congress, he can draw all the forty-eight mainland USA States on a map, while raising his own funding.
