Mr. Dobbs is listed here along with Pat Buchanan. Never really considered Lou in the same camp with Pat, although i do like watching his show "lou dobbs tonight" where he rails on the border and outsourcing issues. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoconservatism[/url]

I wouldn't trust wikipedia for anything other than basic information. People are allowed to edit wikipedia in some computer nerdy way that is beyond me. So anything that sounds fishy on wikipedia, most likely is.
Example: On the page about Northwestern University it says they are more selective than the University of Chicago. :lol:

Dobbs has described himself a moderate conservative in his book.

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Dobbs"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Dobbs[/url][/QUOTE] I don't watch a lot of CNN or TV in general, but what I have seen of Dobbs' show does indeed back up the above.

JoseyWales,
He does seem to be one of the few mainstream media people worth reading.
[QUOTE]Dobbs' stance on trade has earned plaudits from some trade union activists, on the traditional political left, while his stance on immigration tends to appeal to the right. Dobbs is a self-described "lifelong Republican" who became disenchanted with the policies of George W. Bush's administration. His set of political positions, somewhat heterodox at first blush, are commonly found together in the paleoconservatism, or populist conservatism, of such figures as Pat Buchanan.[/QUOTE]
