Lou Dobbs was on the Today Show today with Matt Lauer. He (Dobbs) advocated changing party affiliation to independent, because both Democrats and Republicans are not responsive to the public, but only to corporations and special interests. Which is fair enough, I suppose. Some of what he (Dobbs again) advocated makes a lot of sense: getting involved in local politics, working with the school board, and his (still Dobbs) diatribe about public education made sense (mostly). On the other hand, Lauer took the opportunity to characterize Dobbs' 'war against the middle class' as a war between the middle class and globalization. I suppose if we can have wars against nouns, we can have wars against verbs. But if what he (Lauer this time) means is that offshoring of jobs is bad for the middle class, shouldn't he (still Lauer) just say that?
Other thing- wouldn't having everyone become an independent kinda throw a monkey wrench into the primary process? I'm just sayin.
I had an idea about a monkey/typewriter remark to insert here, but it didn't work out.
