Ingraham Rails Against Schwarzenegger, Tells California: ‘Just Secede Already’»

Sunday on CNN Late Edition, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) encouraged his party to “not to get stuck in ideology, in the ideological corners” and instead offer broader solutions to America’s most pressing problems, especially climate change and the health care crisis. “Let’s clean our ocean, let’s clean our water, let’s clean our air, let’s create health care reform, let’s pass the budget, let’s fix the budget deficit and the structural deficit.”

The comments infuriated right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham, who railed against Schwarzenegger yesterday. She said she had “never, never, ever gotten the whole Schwarzenegger thing,” finally declaring California should “secede” from the United States:

INGRAHAM: Arnold Schwarzenegger is embarrassing on so many levels. … Every time we look to moderate to liberal Republicans for answers, we’re disappointed. Not only are we disappointed, we end up getting shafted. (…)

I read this and my blood boils. Left coast? I mean, just secede already, at this point. Okay. Secede already. I can’t take it anymore from California.

The fact that Schwarzenegger also repeated his opposition to the anti-gay amendment, Proposition 8, certainly did him no favors with Ingraham either. In fact, he said the law “falls into the same category” of anti-miscegenation laws from the early 20th century that banned blacks and whites from marrying.

The Schwarzenegger-Ingraham debate reflects the larger struggle within the Republican party. While National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Ensign (R-NV) said last week that the party shouldn’t focus on abortion or anti-gay marriage amendments, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) insisted the party should double down on the issues, focusing on “a belief in the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.”

1. Can't we just ask Ingraham to secede instead?

Sounds a lot easier and sensible to me.

[Deja Q]

14. Is "secede" a code-word for "get laid"?

:yoiks:

[valerief]

2. You privileged bitch. You get great health care and don't care about

Americans getting great health care. I hate that Rethuglican bitch.

[blue_onyx]

3. Moderate to liberal Republicans are a disappointment?

Yes, conservative Republicans are just so full of answers. Maybe she should move to Alaska, join the AIP, and secede...and Palin would their President.

[baldguy]

6. Americans are a disappointment.

Not blood-thirsty or stupid enough for her.

[dipsydoodle]

4. I don't really understand this subject

Can any State secede ? I thought that only Texas had that option if they so desired ?

[Starry Messenger]

5. Ha ha!

As much as I'd love to see what that would do to the economy for the rest of the country sometimes when I'm mad, ain't gonna happen. Sorry you are stuck with us!

[ddeclue]

7. Arrest her for treason..

:rofl:

[Mz Pip]

8. Last time that was tried

there was this big war and a whole lot of people died.

Besides, most of us here on the left coast are quite happy with our US citizenship, especially now.

So move to Bagdhad, Laura and give us all a break.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. So I just read that if California were an independent state it would have the tenth largest economy

in the World. Good call Laura, you twit!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. A slow, bitter, bloody disintegration of the GOP

Thank you Santa :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

27. It would seem that Christmas has come early this year.

[eleny]

11. She hasn't gotten the "You're irrelevant" memo?!

[Ecumenist]

12. Fuck her. I tried to have some compassion for her ass because,

guess what, you disgusting heifer, I am a genuine human being but if I were her I would be thinking about trying to get to heaven seeing as how she has been battling breast cancer. As a native Angelina and a California girl, born and bred,I hope and pray for her to have her very own Lee Atwater moment. epiphany.

[PennyP]

13. Awesome.. but we take our Huge economy with us!! No more subsidizing the fly-overs! n/t

[HelenWheels]

15. I think the red and blue states should get a divorce nt

[KingOfLostSouls]

16. Hey laura, GET A GODDAMN JOB!

sitting and bitching all day isn't a career



go get a goddamn job.

[devilgrrl]

18. Oh, I know. She never worked a day in her life.

Outing kids at Dartmouth... now that's work! :sarcasm:

[Beartracks]

17. Too many GOPers are "right fighters"...

... who spend way too much energy trying to "be right" than trying to actually get good things done.

"A right-fighter is someone who gets overly emotional or angry when people do not agree with them and their opinions or beliefs. A right-fighter is someone who insists on having the last word in an argument or refuses to back down no matter what. ... People who are right-fighters, (or those who are driven by the need to be right), have their value or worth literally attached to the outcome of being right." http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Byler1.html

19. How bad would our economy be if California wasn't a part of it?

Alone, they're like the 5th largest economy in the world. If they were their own country, how bad would that bone the rest of the nation, I'm wondering.

Now, if the Red States were to secede...well, I'm in Colorado, so it's a mixed result for me. It'd be nice if the congenitally stupid weren't in our country, but then we in CO and NM would be in an island by ourselves, and we'd need airlift supplies to keep us safe. ;)

24. Not too bad -- California is the epicenter of the mortgage crises

And a lot of the busted mortgage companies were from Southern California.

If you get an offer to invest in anything from an address in Newport Beach, run the other way.

[kevinbgoode]

20. Ingraham desperately wants a live in a totalitarian country

where people are forced to pay attention to her mentally disturbed rants. She represents the branch of the GOP which has bitterly driven out the moderates from the party and left it with a collection of social misfits obsessed with the belief of entitlement. They are not unlike a royal family in the arrogance of their willfully ignorant elitism.

[ForrestGump]

21. What? That's crazy.

California's already succeeding quite well, thank you very much.

Stupid idiot.

[fujiyama]

22. Fuck her

The amount of revenue alone CA provides for the federal government is huge.

Meanwhile many of the righteous red states are a bunch of fucking mooches.

[Jack Rabbit]

23. "Every time we look to moderate to liberal Republicans for answers, we’re disappointed"

Laura, honey, that's because moderate to liberal Republicans seldom give the harebrained answers you scavengers of red meat want to hear.

The right wing has been repudiated. Deal with it.

[Bucky]

26. "moderate to liberal Republicans"

Don't just bitch at 'em, Laura. Call the Park Service and report sightings of these endangered species.

[Bucky]

25. Apparently to conservatives a generic call to fix problems is a form of treason

No wonder Joe the Plumber is stuck in the working class. Fixing things is really good for the ol' career, Joe.

[bluedawg12]

28. The rw has nothing - nothing left but

cultural wars.

Which leads to this:

[petronius]

29. How about a compromise - we'll pretend she doesn't exist, and she can stop

polluting our airwaves with her drivel. Also, she is barred from using any goods or services that originate in California.

It's amazing that these RWers really think that the problem was that they weren't conservative enough. Something like 33% of the population is republican - they think that appealing to those people more and blowing off the rest of the population is a winning strategy? Does conservapedia not have an entry for 'majority'? :shrug:

[Lumpsum]

30. I'd rather listen to Bill Kristol speak for an hour

Than listen to her speak for five minutes.

[ContinentalOp]

31. What's the problem? I agree with her.

I would love for CA to secede. We would have our own self-sustaining economy and we'd be rid of all off the Republican welfare states that drain our tax dollars from us. The only downside is that the rest of the country would surely invade so that they could continue to leech off of us and get their bridges to nowhere.

[ourbluenation]

35. I'm with you - suits me fine.

[John Q. Citizen]

32. I love it when Arnie and Laura fight in public.
