I have had about enough of Ingraham too. Lindsey Graham's old girlfriend.

Girlfriend? That's not the way I heard it, she dated him a couple times. That's it.

The simple fact that she went back for a second helping is certainly evidence of a serious lack of judgement.

“don’t retreat, reload. But I don’t know what the heck that means”

What that means is start playing politics like the democrats have been for the last 100 years, and maybe you’ll start winning a few battles.

So that’s a NO on raising the debt ceiling then? Why not just say so.

Seems like the list of people this site likes is shrinking to just one.

Kind of stupid if you ask me.

First it was Ann Coulter, then Michele Bachmann, and now Laura Ingraham. You Palinistas are a joke - and not a very funny one.

Ingraham once pulled a gun on a boyfriend in college when he broke up with her.

She also flooded a boyfriend’s house by putting a water hose in the window.

She isn’t exactly the roll model that she wants everyone to think she is. and I have had about enough of these know it alls including Sean Hannity.

Ingraham dare say something not positive re: Palin and she’s persona non grata ‘round here. I’m a Bachmann supporter. I’m sure Ingraham disagrees with Bachmann’s position on the debt. But it doesn’t make me think she’s a RINO or has sold out.

What offcie has Laura Ingraham ever run for?

It’s easy to stand on the sidelines and tell others what to do when you pay no p[enalty for the advice given.

If Laura Ingraham thinks she can do a better job she should throw her hat in the ring.

She is starting to remind me of Rachel Maddow.

Ingraham went FAR beyond her rebuke of Palin, and compared opponents of Boehner’s horrendous bill with Debbie Wasserman-Schultzhead’s opposition. Stupid, plain stupid.

When you don’t understand the issues, you really shouldn’t post.

Ummm
I was an Ingraham fan too... until she showed her irrational love for Mitt Romney in 2008. She giggled like a school girl whenever she could get him on, and lobbed nothing but softball questions at him.

No conservative could support Romney in the primary, sorry.
I had my doubts before that, but she lost me with Romney.

In my opinion, her show changed drastically, and for the worse when she lost Lee Habib in 2006. The show used to be really witty and sharp. The wheels came completely off when Matt Fox, her long time producer left. Since then, it’s just been a revolving door of producers with no one to keep her in control. She just talks about her children now.

I find her mostly arrogant and condescending... and not at all Conservative.

Being a Bachmann supporter puts you in her cognitive zone, so at least for you and Bachmann, everything is looking up.

Perhaps it’s less about what Ingraham said than how she said it. She could have easily said “I disagree with Palin and here’s what I think would be the best approach to making sure the conservatives get the best deal without caving in to the spendaholic leftists like Reid and Obama...” and then she could go through a list of positive steps that might prove helpful to the conservative cause.

Instead, she chose to pick a fight with Palin and every other conservative that wants more than a slowdown in our fiscal suicide. Personally, I want a long-term solution that involves spending cuts happening in the same fiscal year as any increase in debt. We can never vote yes (or aye or yea) for any plan that allows the dems to pull a bait and switch.

Ingraham thinks principles are people who run schools.
