I don’t listen to her as much or follow her facebook page as it is obvious you do.
Yes, we can and should discuss what she and anyone in the media says. I’m just very tired of a common attitude on FR: once someone says one thing they disagree with they are labeled a RINO and anything they have to say in the future is disregarded out of hand. Silly.
She just said, February 2, 2012 @ 9:18 central time: “This thought, that Gingrich and Santorum should drop out and we should all rally around Romney is crap.” So anyone who says Laura is shilling for Romney is just plain wrong.
Rush, Laura, Mark, Mark, et al have one goal: defeat Obama. Even if that means it is Romney to do it. Are any of them thrilled with Romney...heck no. Not that I’ve heard or read.
One last thing: I will vote for Romney against Obama. I’d much prefer it to be Paul Ryan (but he’s not running) or Santorum or Newt or even looney Paul. This thought that if Romney is elected it will ruin the Republican Party for good is just a crazy, silly thought.
I do tune her in on an almost daily basis because at least she is not the "meme" of the MSM. I will tune her out for a period of time (months) when she strays off the reservation (as with the Budget dustup this past summmer).
As for Facebook, I am not a member but you can read what she says and her listeners are saying as she posts it on her website. I was so angry at her ridicule of Tea Party members of Congress that were representing the wishes of those who elected them, that I went to her website seeking an email address to complain to Laura directly. It was there that I came across her postings of her Facebook page. And I just stood back. Her Facebook followers were blistering her. Her just published book, "Of Thee I Zing" was, I believe, ranked around #10, at the time, on Amazon. Some of her followers were telling her they were going to send her book back. So over the ensuing weeks I gleefully watched as her book sales plummeted to a rank just over #1000.
It was not until yesterday that I returned to her website to examine her Facebook page entries to gather proof for you that she was on her show yesterday at 9:00 AM EST.
