My brother Richard in Connecticut has scampered down to the key in the lower left now ... but, Lou Dobbs???

Lou Dobbs ... a potential candidate?

Is illegal immigration really all that important an issue when the lives of so many Iraqis (not to mention 150,000 or so US troops there), the health of our citizenry and countless unborn babies facing abortion are at stake? Well, look carefully at the key in the lower left corner in a portrait of my brother's "Keys to the White House" in the last posting and go figure. The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC ... rhymes with "ally cat"--but nowhere nearly as Christian as a sweet homeless kitty) is looking at Lou Dobbs, a CNN anchor for the love of Ralph (one of my cats from Saudi Arabia), should Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani or John McCain become the front runner in the Republican race.

The only thing these three candidates have in common is compassion--a Christian virtue and something we should be looking for in all of our candidates--Republican, Democrat or Republitarian! But Lou Dobbs may become the "candidate to the rescue" for those who prey on the ugly and unchristian thoughts of so many Americans who simply care about one issue--get the Mexicans back on their side of the Rio Grande! And by the way, I am not a Giuliani fan although I recognize his concern for most Americans who are in need--not to have always included the unborn, of course, until he recognized the political need to modify his "concerns" in that regard.

But Lou Dobbs !?!?!
