Is Lou Dobbs of CNN an Independent or a closeted Republican?

He seems to knock Obama every chance he gets,but if McCain does something,he just lets it slide.The only time he says a bad thing about McCain is when he can include Obama in it.I don't want him to be for Obama, but at least be balanced with your fault finding rants.

Update:

Theo N --Just because Righteous Lou comes down on Bush,doesn't mean he's not a Republican.Bush is getting pounded from both parties,as well he should.Obama and McCain at least have the guts to try and change things ,unlike Lou Dobbs,who sits around and complains all day,and as for you,ignorance is bliss in yor mind.

    I have watched him for some time, and he seemed to be more inclined towards Hillary in the past (although it was not overtly obvious). There is little doubt however that he does not like Obama much, but I would also have to add that, in the past, he had very few good words to say about McCain.

    I don't know what rock you've been under but Lou Dobbs has slammed the Bush administration and the Republican party on a daily basis for years. Apparently you haven't watched Lou Dobbs until recently or you would make ignorant statements about him being a republican. Also, Dobbs "knocks" Obama because Obama offers nothing to working class Americans.

    Dobbs is NOT an independent as he claims. He's an absolute republican who has jumped on the "I hate Bush" bandwagon - even Sen. McCain has distanced himself from Bush.

    Dobbs used to be a republican before he recently became an "independent". He has no guts to claim he's a republican since that seems to be the way the wind is blowing right now.

    He should go back to working on space.com.

    Source(s): Look up "Dobbs Space.com" and you'll find some history on "mr. indepenent".

    Maybe Mr. Dobbs finds more to knock with obama than he does with McCain.

    Republican.

    Libertarians are just the extreme edge of the Republican right wing on fiscal policy..

    I think he is very critical of Obama and more lax on McCain too.

    Since the likely hood of CNN hiring a republican is slim and none, I am going with Independent.
