you went to laura ingraham, this is the guy who is really conservative and we can trust him.n waiting for that for a little while and you know, this was, perhaps, the most important debate as we sail into arizona and michigan next tuesday and then followed by super tuesday. he finally played that hey, wait a minute, you supported me four years ago and that was long after romney care was installed in massachusetts. why are you complaining now? >> i got a new chapter in this story. it goes back and forth before. and santorum did so well against romney in the last debate and that's the bringing up of arlen specter. he said if you did not support arlen specter and did not get that spot back, you would not have obama care today. he ended up flipping parties and supporting the president. he said if you went with pat toomey back then, it wouldn't have happened. that knocks rick santorum off his axis a little bit. >> it did. i do think there's -- that's a little bit of a stretch to say that it's rick santorum's fault that we got obamacare. i mean, that's a little bit of a stretch whe

concern unless and emotions can he needs to find it's likely that the romney i mean he was on laura ingraham's radio show and he said look you can argue it is getting better the president you know the president's policies can be kicked and it's getting better three point seven million jobs have been created since the president's policies went into effect that's not debatable and i agree you know the way we calculate unemployment numbers in this country has always been a little bit correlation is not causation i mean it's pretty simple just because he has policies and in that time frame there has been job growth doesn't mean that one led to the other in fact the lesson plans look look at look at the big industries look at look at what's happening in michigan right now with the auto industry it's a booming marketplace for american jobs right now and that if mitt romney and conservatives had their way there wouldn't be an american and i stood right there was a story here and i think we can pull this thing up that we have we have a graphic. yes no maybe here we go the red is the bush administratio

i am laura ingraham and the spin stops right here because we are always looking out for you. >>> welcome to the special edition of hannity. recent days a huge controversy over the so-called contraceptive mandate that the white house has put on the catholic church and others. earlier today in a big announcement, the white house tried to back it down. here is what happened. >> under the rule women will still have access to free preventative care that includes contra september active services no matter where they work. that core principle remains, but if a woman's employer is a charity or hospital that has a religious objection to provide contra september active services as part of the health plan the insurance company, not the hospital or charity, will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge would you say co-pays. the result will be that religious organizations won't have to pay for these services and no religious institution will have to provide these services directly. let me repeat. these employers will not to have pay for or provide contra septemb

joining me now, laura ingraham, radio talk show host and fox news contributor. laura, the koch brothers have taken it for a now, since the 2010 elections at least the president and his team have been going after them, and now they had their lawyer write a letter a couple weeks ago, now they personally are writing to the president saying, knock it off. >> yeah. ted olson who wrote the letter on behalf of the koch brothers pointed out, look, we used to talk about the enemies' list, how disturbing that is in a representative democracy that the executive branch would seek on its own whim and its own whimsy to just pick out one or two individuals and spread untruths, falsehoods about them in an attempt to shift blame on an issue like gas prices -- that's going to be a big one in november -- and also perhaps to discourage others from getting involved this the political debate. now, i would imagine in the koch -- if koch brothers became suddenly supportive of the president, we wouldn't see those letters. megyn: they write the implication in this sort of attack is obvio

mcdonnell told a conservative host he would love to come on this very show, he asked the radio host, laura ingraham to set up an interview. the producer set us over a clip what he said about wanting to talk to me about the issues. i have been super excited to have him, we called his office, we e-mailed his office, governor mcdonnell still not returning our calls or e-mails. sir i'm looking forward to some day you getting back to us. any time, governor you know where to find me, you have my number, we left it on your voice mail. >>> joining us is msnbc polite can analyst eugene robinson. gene, thank you for being here. >> great to be here, rachel. >> one of the big campaign issues of 2012 is birth control it turns out. >> who knew. >> do you think we're heading toward this, are we heading toward a november election that is the pro birth control party against anti-birth control party? >> i can't imagine, because that cannot be a good idea for the republicans to go into a november election as the anti-birth control party. that -- i've tried to figure this out from every sort of cynical smart politics

laura ingraham standing by with her take. i had one second left.magine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaids, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk. severe liver problems, some fatal, were reported. signs include abdominal pain and yellowing skin or eyes. tell your doctor about all your medicines, including those for migraine and while on cymbalta, call right away if you have high fever, confusion and stiff muscles or seriouallergic skin reactions like blisters, peeling rash, hives, or mouth sores to address possible life-threatening conditions. talk abo

senator santorum was kind enough to say on the laura ingraham show, mitt romney this is a guy who iseally conservative and who we can trust. and when he came out to endorse me, he said these words, he said he is the clear conservative candidate. he's right. i'm the conservative candidate and what we need in the white house is principled conservative leadership and i'll bring it. >> he says he'll bring it. but romney is struggling in his own childhood state. new american research group poll has rick santorum in the lead in michigan with 38%. romney follows close behind at 34%. ron paul and newt gingrich are a distant third and fourth with 12% and 7% respectively. what can we expect in michigan on tuesday? joining us live, dave marie, politics and education reporter for the grand rapids press and steven henderson, editorial page at the detroit free press. thank you, both, for joining me. let's start with your paper's positions on mitt romney. dave, let's start with you. your paper endorsed mitt romney, why? >> yes, it did. well, mitt romney has business sense that i think appeals to pe

laura ingraham is a friend of the campaign. sean hannity. governor romney loves to go on his show.ut by and large, there seems to be a real disconnect with the campaign and these opinionators. >> do you think it's possible he just doesn't like their company? i say that because ronald reagan really liked the company of bill buckley and people like that. he was loyal to them. they were loyal to him. he would read the national review openly and make a big deal about it. president obama is not friendly like people on our side. he doesn't hang out with pundits on the center left or left that i know of. maybe i've not been invited. what's his personality that says i don't hang around with people i'm supposed to agree with. was he a fish out of water? >> he was going in the basement of that hotel talking to people. >> that was a young crowd. santorum hooked up well with them. >> hooked up real well. romney was backstage giving a speech. there was a connection that romney doesn't have. >> mitt romney's comments about the poor turned into a big campaign gaffe. let's listen. >> i'm in this r

>> i think it's a harder argument, which was the point that laura ingraham was raising in that interview that when there is good news, you are forced to, you know, do what you saw today. i think that people need to stop and republicans need to focus on what their agenda is going to be for full recovery, sustainable recovery into the future and not fall into the trap of trying to say, well, you know, he didn't cause the, you know, the difficulties, but not necessarily recognize when there is good news, like the governor said. you got to give props where props are due. but at the same time istill think that republicans can make the argument to the american people of why what the president has done has not been as successful as it could have been but short of that you're going to look a little bit off balance, if you will. >> now, governor, we're in a good report but, of course, we know that this is just one report. we have no idea where it's going to go. and i think the president is clear. we're in political season, getting ready for battle. he laid out the -- how he's drawing the lines, g

i'm laura ingraham in for bill o'reilly. in the campaign 2012 segment tonight. new poll from fox news shows that barack obama would beat every single republic candidate in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today. also president obama's approval rating is up in recent days with 48% approve of the job he is doing. 48% disapproving. is the republic field really this weak or is president obama enjoying a lasting uptick in the polls? joining us now with analysis from charlottesville, virginia. political analyst dr. larry sabato and from asbury park, new jersey pollster scott rasmussen. i'm looking at the fox poll and i see that obama beats everyone handily. 47, 42 for romney. santorum 50 to 38. gingrich 51 foe 38. scott, let's start with you since you run your own polling shop. is this just the result of the infighting in the republics? a little bit of the good news on the economy? or is this a lasting move for obama up in the polls, approval rating is going to stay there? >> it's not the republic infighting. in fact, our numbers do show some similar t

talking about him all week, he told a conservative radio host he wanted to come on my show, asked laura ingrahamshe would help book him on the program. i was so excited i thought that meant we would get him, he wanted to do it. apparently he didn't mean it. bob mcdonnell will not return our calls! this week is the anniversary of me trying in person to get a cheney to come on the show. remember when i chased down liz cheney at c pac? >> this is as close as i ever get to interviewing liz and dick cheney many. >> hi, rachel. >> i think that was it. >> i don't know what she said. she smiled at me. >> at cpack that was 2010, after giving me that nice smile and chaki shaking my hand and never returned my calls, she went on to give a speech how horribly dangerous and wrong it was for the obama administration to try the underwear bomber that kid who tried to blow up a plane on christmas day in 2009, how dangerous it would be to try him in a civilian court. >> wants to give terrorists constitutional rights, including the right to remain silent. >> liz cheney sort of made a little cottage industry for a w
