Lou Dobbs says President Bush and Congress are part of an "elitist war on the middle class"
President Bush says that the installation of the new Iraqi government was a "watershed event," but at the same time warns Americans of the challenges and loss as we continue to prosecute the war against Iraqi insurgents. Sen. Harry Reid declares that legislation that would render English the national language is racist. Thirty-seven Democrats vote for full amnesty for all illegal aliens in this country, even though nobody really knows whether the number is 11 million, 12 million or 20 million. The Senate Republican leadership demands that a "comprehensive immigration reform" plan must be passed before this Memorial Day weekend. And the president signs into law a tax cut that raises taxes on the educational funds of teenagers saving for college.
Never before in our country's history have both the president and Congress been so out of touch with most Americans. Never before have so few of our elected officials and corporate leaders been less willing to commit to the national interest. And never before has our nation's largest constituent group -- some 200 million middle-class Americans -- been without representation in our nation's capital.(Watch why Dobbs said Mexico's leader is in charge of U.S. immigration policy -- 3:16) George W.

Shucks, he’s just reg’lar working folk pulling seven figures.
Their ratings are already hanging by a thread and I think advertisers will start reassessing how their money is spent if the rating go any lower.
I think you have nailed it.
The MSM whores have now had an epiphany that a loss of the democrats of either the house OR senate will mean lower employment contracts.
How will they finance their mouse abuse?
Death of the Dinosaur Media equals death of the democrat party.
CNN is our enemy not President Bush.
