Cindy McCain on Her and Her Husband’s Appearance on ‘The View’: ‘They Picked Our Bones Clean’

Cindy are you back on those painkillers again ?????

Who cares what the women on the view think. They should bring Rosie O’
Donnell back to class up the joint a bit.

and the shiny object which was McPalin begins its long dismal fade. It was a good strategy but they were lucky to have gotten a week out of it. The first debate is going to cause a crash and burn for the GOP. The VP debate is going to make republicans run for the hills and deny their party. By the last debate John McCain won’t be able to get stage time with anyone in a vulnerable district.

@ least cindy kept it real because they DID ventured into a hornets nest….because when you think of the view you think of softball questions, but you can clearly see them disgusted with how the mccain campaign decided to run the race.

Outrage From A REAL Disabled Person:
WAR INJURIES ARE EXCUSES! HE JUST SLAPPED THE ENTIRE DISABILITY COMMUNITY ACROSS THE FACE!

So are you calling the ladies on the view Vultures …..
how disrespectful. they was just asking your geezer husband to explaing some of his outrageous ads and his outrageous VP pick……. she should have stayed home if she cant stand the heat….. the heat that is being generated by your geezer husband’s rovain network

If you two can’t stand the heat on “The View” how are you going to stand the heat on a NEWS show? They picked the bones clean?! Tim Russert would have made that interview so painful root canal without anesthetic would be preferable. Walter Cronkite would have walked off the set when you denied the truth in the face of fact ad you could have kissed your entire political career goodbye. Sit down with Tom Brokaw for 30 minutes Senator or maybe Charlie Gibson and you will realize just how easy he went on your running mate. You lied and have been caught red-handed Senator. It is that simple. There is no positive way out of it. To admit the lie provides the absolute confirmation that you are Bush the third. At some point your denials will start to look like dementia. Sticking to your story in the face of actual facts does not make you a maverick, it makes you a sad, sad, man who has squandered whatever political capital he had left.

Barbara Walters was not rude to McCain. She was using her journalistic skills to ask McCain questions to reveal his lies, which everyone needs to hear.
Barbara Walters has endured years of extreme sexism and rude comments about her age. Only old men can be journalist.

Cindy should be thankful her husband is running against Obama, a man with integrity. If McCain was running against someone, say like her husband, her drug stealing and forgery would be front page news. They would have no mercy. She should count her blessings and shut up.

Barbara Walters wants to make Obama another notch on her belt.

When the women of the View asked McCain why he was lying, he shrugged his shoulders.
In other words, he doesn’t care that he’s lying.
When Cindy McCain came on, the tone changed and degenerated into a feel good session.
So Cindy, get over it. They didn’t slam you. In fact, Miss Priss Hasselback, a caricature of Right Wing mumbo jumbo, did everything she could to serve up softball questions.

I voted for McCain in the primary. I had been a huge fan of his for forever, read all his books. His true colors have come through though and I now see him for what he really is- a man with no integrity, no soul. He’s not what I thought he was at all. My vote in November won’t be so much as for Obama, as it will be against McCain.

The press and democrats have gone full attack on Sarah Palin for two weeks and have not diminished her star status.
People just love her. She’s energized the campaign like a B12 shot. That doesn’t go away overnight no matter how many cohost of The View don’t like her or McCain.
With 52 days left, I don’t see her popularity dropping before the election. She could blow it during the debate, but I don’t think that is likely given her apperance so far. All she has to be is engaging and personable to win over the undecided.
Let’s face it, anyone who is still undecided at this point, is not someone very interested in issues. They’re likely voting in favor of ‘who do I like more’. If it’s a contest between likability- Palin the feisty hockey mom from Alaska wins easily.

Charlie35 said “The View is so politically one-sided that I really can’t watch it any longer” and I totally agree. I usually don’t watch it but I did see the rerun with Michelle Obama by accident. What disgusted me was playing the one version of the “Proud” speech that the Obama camp want to be the “real” version and trying to make out that her words had been edited. If the View was an actual unbiased “news” and current events show they would have shown the two different speeches Michelle gave that same day in two different cities in Wisconsin and then let her explain the differences in her thoughts. Instead they want to spin it in Obama’s favor.

So the vapid little trophy wife thinks The View was harsh treatment? Those mean women called her husband on his blatant lies? I’m just waiting for the day when John McNasty loses it on camera and/or Vicodin Barbie goes back on drugs. I don’t think much of the Dems, but I’d vote for the Democratic jackass himself rather than someone who sold out to the Religious Reich and Mooselini.

The best part came w/ McCain stating Row vs. Wade was a big mistake and the audience Booed. oh man.
They did a great job.

Face the facts, Cindy, that your husband’s most recent political ads contain numerous lies — plain and simple. More of the same Bush/Cheney/Rove political lying to the American people! The American people are going to fall for it this go ’round. Howard Gallas, Reno, NV.

I’ll bet the Super Delegates are already working on their excuses for voting against their state’s plurality and picking a bag of hot air!

You have got to be kidding me? If you don’t like it Ms. Cindy then tell your husband to stop lying! I have lost all respect.

in spite of what you see, that’s not what the American people are saying and what they are believing,………………………….
Well I see someone is out of Touch
With the American People……

yes Debra we know elections cannot be bought, they are won instead on lies and deceit.
This country has just lost its standing in the world.

Slounds like a sense of entitlement to me>

I’ll bet the Super Delegates are already working on their excuses for voting against their state’s plurality and picking a bag of hot air!

I will give the McCain’s credit for not setting conditions for the interview on The View. When Michelle Obama went on The View, she had a list of topics they were NOT allowed to ask her.
Perhaps that’s a standard practice for the Obamas? Maybe that could explain why the Obama interviews seem less aggressive. Yes, it could be bias on part of favoring Obama, but perhaps the Obama campaign is just more prudent about setting parameters before doing interviews. Who knows?

“someone like Cindy McCain or Sarah Palin or like from Mars to them!!”
those two are from Mars or at least not of any normal earth I know of.

McSame thought his wife would help protect him. haha Hiding behind a womans skirts again, its no wonder he wasnt a marine! He needs to wuit crying, or having his wife cry for him. I thought he was gonna run a respectful campaign, but hes a disappointment, hes so negative.

I would also like to add that shows like the View and other news organizations (excluding FAUX – Fox news) is mainstream. Cindy should realize that most of America is not fooled by the emptiness and silly distractions of the GOP. The GOP faithful might be morons and gullible but not most of us Americans. We can see right through the lies and smoke screens as it could not be more transparent (except for the blind). Too much time left in the election for a liar to use that as his main weapon in getting elected. Obama will win this election!

To the person who claimed Cindy McCain is a vapid trophy wife, you might want to google her. She is very far from being a vapid trophy wife. She has a long history of philanthropy and not the ‘write out a check and forget kind’-the kind where she goes into poor areas and war torn areas and gets her hands dirty. Research it a bit and you’ll see she has accomplished a lot.

They knew EXACTLY what The View is about before they interviewed. They CHOSE to do this.
Now that they were called out, it is somehow an unfair show. You got to love the “straight talk”.

Obama was a community organizer. I’ve never stopped laughing since I first heard that one.
very very funny!

So now The View is suddenly dismissed as a liberal TV show? Never heard that one before.

Anne
Palin is a moron! She’d be better off going back to Alaska and keeping an eye on her other daughters! How long before the next one is pregnant!

Its a matter of using logic. Some people wonder why the media and others think Obama will be a great president. They see the truth. You people act like they are infatuated when in fact they simply understand the man. You dont, probably because you have personal issues that make you block him out. Thats your choice and your issue but dont be amazed that common people do understand and support this man because we believe, and you have a problem with that.

not much meat to pick. the campaign is very shallow

No offense, but Joy and Barbara are old & wives, … well , ex-wives.

Cindy McCain is a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart who loves this country. She is living the American dream. You know that dream Oblahblahblah supporters? The one you want someone else to pay for?

For those bashing FOX news, they have been the #1 news show for years, followed by CNN and MSNBC. Seems like Americans know which news station to turn in to for fair and balanced and not liberal biased.

LA In Indiana:
Do you have a citation for that.
I know many groups like the DAV and the Iran and Afghanistan Veterans of America (veteran’ advocacy groups, not anti-war groups) cite McCain for not supporting veteran’s

Why does Cindy McCain always trying to get people to feel sorry for her? The Time magazine article about her was all “poor, pitiful Cindy” she raised her children alone because her husband was off in DC. Well, she pays her hired help $275,000 a year. So how hard is it to raise your children when you don’t have to work, cook, or clean? Are those trips to the mall that strenuous? Come on people, the McCain family has no idea how the rest of America lives.

Every post I put up is taken down and I have watched the View with both Obama and McCain and have a valid comparison. Moderator do they pay you from Obama campaign?
Barbara giggled and blushed when BO was on….they all embarassed themselves. She lost all cred after Friday’s attack on McCain. I am sorry you have erased about five of my posts which are not rude….just stating the facts. He was right to bring up the fact that BO would never agree to 10 town halls and BO was wrong to use the pig/lipstick comment…he chooses his words carefully and knew what he was saying, however much he stammered. He also did vote to teach sex ed to kindergarders.

Obama has been running a very dishonorable honorable campaign. He’s very hideous politician.

LA inIN:
I found the linl
The Army Times is supporting Obama. (must be a left wing publication)

I like the way Mccain had the guts to go on such a liberal show! Obama can’t say anything unless it is written down first! Change blah,blah, different change
blah, blah,blahchangeetc.etc.etc. change some more blah,blah more change …The election is shifting toward Mccain because the Independent voters are not going to follow some devil down a dead end road simply because of party affiliation!

For those bashing FOX news, they have been the #1 news show for years, followed by CNN and MSNBC. Seems like Americans know which news station to turn in to for fair and balanced and not liberal biased.

That’s because their audience is full of oldsters! People who don’t go out or can’t get out. Their not as popular in the 18-45 demographics.

“Obama used the pig/lipstick comparison to rouse his crowd”
Obama clearly said McCain’s economic policies were pig on a lipstick. There was no reference whatsoever to Palin. Funny, it wasn’t sexist when McCain used the expression for Hillary Clinton’s health care proposals. Why was it sexist for Obama and not McCain? It’s a matter of color. Pig on a lipstick was spoken by an African American man. Debra, it was a comparison that the McCain camp used to rouse racism.

Breaking News
Tina Fey was kidnapped last night and dragged to a secret meeting in the white house.
From out of a back room Karl Rove, D!ck Cheney and John McCain come out and approach her saying…
“Tina…we made a mistake…we think you are more qualified to be the Backup leader of the free world and we are going to switch you out…
reports of your early demise will be solicited tomorrow…that you were attacked by a mass of terrorist on the streets of New York…who were upset about you making fun of sarah palin…
but we understand now that you understand these issues and have more know how and qualifications than she has”
“Tina will you serve your country?”
Tina – “well what is going to happen to Gov Palin”
Cheney – “uh she will be vacationing in …uh” (looks at Rove)”in Saudi arabia at one our secre…our secret vacation places”
“oh”
Rove..”how do you feel about mooseburgers?”
cut to: Tina Fey with the three of them hovering in her face.

Note to Roxanne. Yes, they took Obama over the coals for his looney tunes. Sorry, they don’t do transcripts.
Meanwhile, man, that show reaches the Hillary Clinton demographic that the GOPVP was intended to reach. And they got an earful that’s gonna change their independent and republicratic minds!
They didn’t label the ‘disrespectful’ ad as racist. Whoopi did allude to the ‘black man beating on a white woman’ on the Tuesday of the week before the ad appeared, however.
And Barbara on that same Tuesday show (sorry, they would rather not I use the Daily Kos link to that story) went into the issues she has with the GOPVP and the separation of church and state.
Meaning, the hosts were tipping off McCain that they were going to ask him real questions and expect real answers. It was not going to be the warm and fuzzy blink-fest of his last visit. Was he not listening? Were Cindy’s assistants painting her fingernails?

Here’s another funny fact….SNL may satire with a lib slant, but Lorne Michaels has donated generously to JOHN McCAIN.

I don’t know why John and Cindy McCain lowered themselves and appeared on the View at all. Talk about a trash tv show.

Inez…as a matter of fact if you check out Michelle Obama’s resume she has done quite a bit of volunteer work. She quit a high paying job to work for a nonprofit called “Public Allies”. Google it if you want more info. Please remember Michelle has young children that she takes care of, she doesn’t have the time that Cindy McCain has. And she certainly doesn’t have the millions of dollars (that Cindy inherited) to donate either.
If you want to get into a contest over who is a better person Michelle would win hands down. Cindy stole narcotics from her former charity (if she wasn’t rich and married to a Senator she would have received a 20 year jail sentence according to the DEA), had a doctor forge signatures of employees without their knowledge on prescriptions, and then fired the employees when they tried to turn her in. Her character is questionable. And let’s not forget that she’s an adulterer.

LA in IN: I totally agree. The vets know it is Obama that supports them.

“Do I have to worry about becoming a slave?” “Seriously, how over the top and biased was that? Her eyebrows will regrow before she becomes a slave.”
How is that biased? I find it mind boggling that you aren’t able to understand that comment? You are obviously not African American. I bet that’s similar to what Hitler’s supporters said to the German Jews when Hitler was running for office!

I don’t know why John and Cindy McCain lowered themselves and appeared on the View at all. Talk about a trash tv show.
Posted by: Fran
They were trying to reach you! I mean, women.

Yeah, Obama cares about our vets so much that he couldn’t visit the injured in Germany because they would not have photographers for photo op. Please, let’s do analysis after this election…and McCain WILL have the majority of vets. Didn’t see any in BO’s convention audience, but they were everywhere at McCain’s.

Debra
can you get off the Lying Express for one minute…oy
Lorne michaels has donated and raised more money for the dems…ugh
do you people even recognize the lying from the truth anymore…
that explains a lot.

For all you Gov. Palin haters they are doing a bio on her on FOX now. And yes, the shift is still in McCain’s favor right now….despite the liberal $$$ donations from billionaire libs.

CINDY ACTS SO FAKE. I AGREE SHE IS NO CONSERVATIVE. THE VIEW LADYS WERE FAIR.
CINDY CANT TAKE THE TRUTH.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN.
O’ I AM ALSO A WOMEN FOR THOSE WHO CARE.

The women of The View had the nerve to tell John McCain to his face that his ads are lies, and he did not like it one bit. John McCain from the year 2000 meet John McCain from the year 2008– I don’t believe that you are going to have a great deal of respect for him, as well you shouldn’t.

Uh. Foxnews may have the highest ratings for *cable* news, but compared to the number of people who watch their local news station carried by abc/nbc/cbs/etc., they are a drop in the bucket. Even 60 Minutes has about twice the ratings of O’Reilly (Foxnews’ highest rated show).

“obama Inexperience”
you are right it is because of the media droping the ball
kind of like they did when you called them the media elite before…
you remember
when the Bush administration was calling them unpatriotic and elitists…as they were talking about mushroom clouds and wmd.
or when they were calling them elitists and putting up a sign saying “mission accomplished”
or when they and you probably were calling them elitists and they were creating the enron loophole and deregulation massively pushed by the lobbyists…the same lobbyists that literally just wrote Mccain’s economic policy…literally….wrote it…their words…their typing.
or whe the media elite were so bad during that whole libby thing as Libby was calling Tim Russert a liar…and blaming him for leaking top secret information
or the media was at fault when they didn’t smell smoke when Gonzales was pulling…everything
or when Cheney was having closed door meetings and calling the media elite
and during all of this
they said “don’t listen to the media elitists” they are not the American people” “we work for the Americans”
so yes
I agree the past 8 years specifically and as we see now …perhaps the 9th…
where the “media elite” were not the American people.

Debra, if they do a factual bio on Palin, they will embarass her. The facts on her and balancing budget, taxes and special interests have been presented here with the citation.
Fact: She did the GOP thing as mayor and cut taxes while spending through the roof, resulting in masive debt. Is that what you like? no fiscal responsibility?
I suspect faux news will tout what she “says” she stands for while ignoring what she has done. But then I doubt that you care what she really stands for.

Note to Cindy and John:
NO ONE BELIEVES YOU ANYMORE.
UNTRUSTWORTHY DISHONORABLE UN-AMERICAN CREEPS.

Cindy McCain is a drug addict. If the ladies on the View really wanted to “pick (her) bones clean” she’s already given them plenty to pick at. The idea the the women on the show don’t represent the views of average American women is ludicrous. Cindy would know that if she wasn’t so wealthy and above it all. She, and her husband, are so out of touch with what’s really going on in most people’s lives — it would be a joke if it wasn’t a national disaster.

Yes Fox sure was fair and balanced this morning– Karl Rove was on saying that John McCain has gone too far with his campaign ad lies. I especially like the one about sex ed for kindergarten kiddies. Apparently the party of “family values” is against teaching children about sexual predators.

If those who accuse Dems in congress of “do nothing” could explain why there were record numbers of Republican filibusters and why the president suddenly found his veto pen when the Dems took power? It was the Dems that tried to get a lot done and it was the Repubs that did a whole lot of nothing. Thanks have a nice day.

Dennis, John McCains judgement is just fine. So are His guts. The ‘View’ adds nothing to intellectual discourse. Their various statement’s made them look even more angry, bitter and ignorant than ever. Hard to do after Rosie.

Electoral landscape….McCain 227 to Obama 215..toss up 96.
President John Sydney McCain….our 44th President.

scotti, I guess Obama was right, some people just choose to be ignorant and you are proving it. How can Obama be Muslim, if he attended a christian church for 20 years. You McCain and Palin are all stupid if you think the American people are going to fall for your crap. There is nothing wrong with being Muslim, if that the religion you choose because there is only one God, but keep showing American and the world how stupid you are because you continue to call Obama a Muslim, but also says he went to a church that is as everyone knows Christian.

By your logic:
Cindy McCain is a drug addict – one who became addicted to pain killers, as many people do, after needing it for medical resons
Barack Obama is a drug addict – used concaine, smoked crack for no medical reason at all.
What would you rather have? A candidate who is a drug addict, or a candidate’s wife who is a drug addict.
You Dems just don’t know how to pick a fight.

IS DISHONESTY AN AMERICAN FAMILY VALUE?
NOPE. IT AIN’T.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!! AMERICA FIRST!!

What can Obama do to prevent his slide into oblivion?
Nothing — people are seeing through the shallow one and recognize the fact that he’s business as usual only bigger! People want change and he’s showing he simply cannot deliver!

Cindy McCain is wrong. Most people do care.

prescribed painkillers vs. coke (“blow” as BO refers to it) and crack. Gee, that’s hard to figure out….a felon or someone who had back surgery?

Palin is up to 9 TIMES on repeating the Bridge to Nowhere lie!
And hooray for (some) women in Alaska– a rally of almost 1,500 greeted Palin yesterday protesting her Bridge lie, and her stance on social issues. Apparently a GINORMOUS crowd by Alaska standards, and proof that she isn’t universally popular there.

Debra try and spin it all you want but Cindy was a drug addict. No one forced her to abuse drugs. She did that all by herself. You do know she could have gone to jail for 20 years.

McCain and Palin are the liars.
We know Rove’s strategy…keep repeating the lies enough and the stupid people will believe them. It worked before with Bush.
Dogsled Barbie only needs a 4 yr journalism degree to rule over the dumb americans. My oh my, she will interact with the foreign leaders by wearing a short skirt, because she damn sure won’t understand what they’re talking about.
US foreign policy: just smile and show em some leg.

I beg all of the supporters of the bama on here and tv, please keep talking and being rude to Senater McCain and Gov. Palin. I simply can’t thank you enough Babs and the other hack comedians on “the view” for your effort to elect McCain/Palin. Everyone on here let those rumors fly, the NYTimes needs another story. I am never disapointed by the dems , well except Bill and Hillary they know how to run a GE.

LOL!
My name is Barack Obama, and PLEASE don’t look into my:
–birth certificate
– my citizenship
– my occidental college transcripts
– my columbia university transcripts
– my Illinois state senate records
– my Annenberg challenge records
No need to look there, let me distract you with one of my speeches! Oh, and please, please please, don’t talk to Larry Sinclair, he is a nut, don’t believe one word he has to say! I am so sorry I am the worst presidential candidate in history, but you like my speeches, don’t you?
— signed, Barack O-Liar-Bama.

If the republican party can pull off getting McCain and the unqualified Sarah Palin elected, then we aren’t a democracy. This woman isn’t qualified to be governor and surely not VP., of the greatest nation on earth

Cindy McCain, I have nothing against you, but your husband has spent the entire general election campaign lying through is teeth and running one vicious smear ad after another. He has selected a vice presidential running mate that is unqualified, unvetted and unfit to lead a girl scout troop through Disneyland, and yet somehow he’s elevated her to a position of massive power and importance. If you put all those factors together you get what we are seeing now.
This whole thing got infinitely worse when Sara Palin stood up at the RNC and sneered her way through a vitriolic, nasty diatribe against Barack Obama. Her repugnant remarks about community organizers showed exactly how callous and crass this election has gotten. I am very sorry this election season is starting to wear on you. But Cindy, you need look no further than your husband and his campaign strategists to figure out why. When you run a hate filled campaign how on Earth can you sit back and decry a negative response? There hasn’t been back and forth with regard to the falsehoods and negativity, Cindy, John McCain has be a zero on the issues but has resorted to dig deep into the mud to run his campaign. He has staffed his campaign from end to end with the most voracious pit vipers in the business. Those closest to him represent the worst that American politics have to offer. They are in fact the very authors of our country’s doom, destruction and despair for the last 8 years and now they sit squarely in the middle of the McCain Camp. How can you expect any other outcome? When your husband caved to the forces of the Neocons and the radical right the McCain campaign lost its claim to any moral high ground.
People are incensed at these tactics, Cindy. At a time when the entire country is hurting John McCain would rather stand on a stage and lie his way through one speech, one interview or one town hall after another rather than outline his plans for how he thinks he could make this country better for everyone. In selecting Sara Palin to be his running mate, your husband has brought his judgment under serious scrutiny. The constant onslaught of dishonest smear campaigns and lying has offended a huge portion of the American people who believe, now more than ever we need a president who acts and lives by an example of honor, integrity, and compassion, not merely one who offers it as a campaign slogan. Cindy McCain, America is suffering and we have had eight long years of the president who does the latter, we the people have had ENOUGH!

Cindy thinks this is about her.WRONG she can get lost and no one would care.Any one who wears a 300.000 dollar dress to a function in front of the Americans who are having a hard time buying food,gas and heating oil is nothing but a snobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb in my book .She and her numb aqq husband have no clue as to what we are going through and the worst part they DON”T CARE.

obfl here’s a fact: Palin is LYING over and over again about that stupid Bridge which she WAS for when she was running for Governor and then was suddenly against when it was politically expedient to be so. SHE KEPT THE MONEY ANYWAY. And 1500 did protest her in Alaska. As for the rest, I’d probably like her too if she gave me a kickback to do so. Give her time, dear, even George Bush had a huge approval rating when he started out.

obfl, Palin is trying to withhold 1100 emails from the Troopergate period, claiming, wait for it, EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. Sound familiar?

The reason that some here are so upset is that Their wishes for Defeat in Iraq, Higher Taxes and a ‘cakewalk’ in this election have not been fulfilled. Liberal investment in America’s humilliation and decline speaks volumes about Their ‘love of country’

Mila, are you just going to run away from the truth?
regarding the “bridge”:
FACT: Palin terminated the project.
FACT: Obama and Biden both voted FOR funds for the bridge.
FACT: The Coburn Amendment, meant to divert funds from the bridge to Katrina, was voted AGAINST by Obama and Biden! How disgusting and cold, to refuse to help Katrina victims! Obama and Biden are slime! You notice that they don’t bring up the bridge anymore, because people have caught onto their hypocrisy and lies?
THOSE ARE FACTS. Keep trying to change the subject, Mila, but you can not escape congressional voting records, sorry, out of luck for you!

Whoopi was hilarious. Whenever I want a good laugh I just re-watch the View. Poor John : )

I can’t understand why otherwise (what appeared to be) decent women, e.g., Laura Bush and Cindy McCain, sell their souls when they marry Republicans. Maybe the Republican Party has a Stepford Farm — somewhere all newly wed Republican wives go. After all, didn’t Cindy say the campaign would be “about issues.” They must have sent her to the Farm after that remark — or did she sell her soul?

Why should we listen to Cindy McCain?
She said on a ABC interview that because Alaska was next to Russia that meant that Sarah Palin had lots of experience in the area of foreign relations.
It is clear that McCain’s campaign folks need to spend a little time with Cindy explaining the true ignorance of that statement.

At least Cindy McCain didn’t wear some ensemble on The View that cost the amount of a house. Perhaps the Milleneum Marie Antoinette can bring along a cake for consumption on her next TV interview to distract from the meat picking.

Cindy McCain has nothing to be upset about. The View let her off lightly – her history is so full of lies that they could have attacked her as well. … I regret saying anything about her but what she did to the medical charity she worked with is disgusting. To show a film about the charity at the Republic Convention is disgusting – it had to close because she was using it for illegal activities (her own narcotics). Why then tout herself as a saint who does good works in poor countries. Is anyone around McCain able to tell the truth? I think not.

A lack of comprehension or did he just not know the answer to Barbara Walters’ question regarding Sarah as reformer. When John McCain was asked who Sarah would reform in Washington, he could not come up with a coherent answer. The answer he gave in fact, seemed to be to a question that he asked himself. No wonder Barbara was frustrated. No wonder she tried to restate the question several times. No wonder the Republicans are upset and once again flailing about, attempting to vilify those who would attempt to get a simple answer to a simple question. Shame on the Republicans.

I am a republican women and I do not like Cindy McCain as she acts fake.
Talk about being an ellitis…

Doesn’t it disgust her that the same people who attacked her and her adoptive daughter in 2000, making up lies about them and causing Cindy and Bridgette to cry, are now working for her husband to make up lies about Obama? McCain has clearly lost all honor, but you would think Cindy has to go to bed at night feeling sick to her stomach to have anything to do with these people and their sleazy campaign.

Jim, you are absolutely correct. Let the frightened Obamakins keep the hatred and lies coming! It just shows what a bi-partisan and healing kinda fella he ain’t! Just imagine – Sarah is the VP and they are going crazy with hatred and envy over her – talk about fixation! Good judgement, John!

I don’t know why anyone should expect anything different from the View, along with all the Liberal mainstream media who don’t quite understand why there has to be an election. As far as they are concerned, there should be a coronation and he should already be in the White House – experience or no experience, poor judgement (except for his long-held claim to be the one person on earth to oppose the war, even though he could not vote for it), no record of successful accomplishments in the Senate, ducking numerous importing votes in the Chicago legislature by voting present or trying to amend the votes by saying he had a fat finger. And, by the way, that so-called bi-partisan motion to cross party lines to vote against nuclear proliferation – every man, woman and child and indeed the whole world is against any kind of nuclear build-up. It was not a bill that challenge his own party. In fact, both parties came together to vote for that bill. It was an easy bill.
Have you watched Larry King lately? Same thing. He seems so exasperated when any of the guests challenge or say anything against Obama. But it’s a complete love fest when he has the Obama supporters on.
Make no bones about it – McCain is on his way to becoming the next President of the United States. The very big swings in the polls of independents, white women, the working class, white men and older voters do not bode well for Obama.
A lot of people in America are now realising that the road to the Presidency for Obama has always been for his personal ambition. On the other hand, Senator McCain has earned every right to ask every American for their vote in humility and respect for them as his fellow citizens.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said this to the Politico about the increased media scrutiny of the campaign’s factual claims: “We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.”
We are going to lie, and we don’t care.

You can put lipstick on Whoopi …but its still Whoopi

John McCain isn’t exactly a pillar of integrity….his personal life is suspect and he allowed Rudy Guiliani and Sarah Palin to make dismissive, condescending and insulting remarks about community organizers during the RNC and then went on CNN and announced during the service forum that he respected community organizers…..that doesn’t sound like a man who has much integrity when he allows others to make those types of remarks and then says something different……

Well the McCains finally had the tide turned on them and they don’t like it. The reason they went on the View was to appeal to women voters. When they had to deal with real questions and factual arguments, they became upset. Give me a break. As to the View and Newspapers not reflecting American’s views, well that is a matter of opinion. I guess they don’t like their opinions.

Just what America needs 2 more liars in the White House. Happy the way the last 8 years have gone….My Friends, you haven’t seen nothing yet. You think my vote against the new GI Bill was mean and small minded , wait till you see what I do with social security, medicare, No Child Left Behind.

What has Obama accomplished?
On pure intelligence, after 3 yrs of community organizing in the South Side of Chicago (which, idk if you all have ever been there, but its definately the hardest neighborhood in the midwest) going from the Harvard Law Review editor to Democratic Presidential nom. in under 20 years.
He has accomplished much more in a short amount of time than anybody on this board or in McCain’s campaign has.
Tell me, how much more can the enfeebled Republican accomplish before he dies and Palin becomes Prez? Restarting the Cold War? God help us.

If anyone every believed McCain to be honorable person should look at how he treated his first wife. That was the most disgraceful thing anyone one could do to another human being, let alone his wife. This man is a maniac. American whould be well served to take a close look at both McCain and Palin. Neither are who they pretend to be.

virginia, the view will be just fine. It’s not a political show, it’s a talk show.

Obama is sooooooooo off message. During the sunday talk shows his name was hardly mentioned and the name “Biden” wasn’t mentioned at all. It was all about McCain this, Palin that.

I will never watch Barbara WaWa again no matter who she is interviewing. She was absolutely disgusting and rude, as were Joy and Whoopi. I’ve never seen them be so offensive to anyone on their show. I remember how they gooed all over Obama and Michelle, no matter what Michelle had said about America. McCain fought for America and Michelle says it’s mean and she’s ashamed. Well most folks are ashamed of her!!

Wendy, all Elisabeth said was that Michelle had a list of demands to be on The View. If it was not true she should apologize otherwise there was nothing wrong with it.

What a sleazy pair the McCain’s are.
Dishonest and Disgraceful.

“THE View is pro Obama”
That’s right. It’s simple algebra.
Obama = Truth
The View = Truth
So, The View = Obama.
Nothing wrong with that equation!

Chomp, crunch, gurgle….

On to the second course…..

The McCains got what they deserved. They requested an appearance of the show. Probably Cindy’s first, only to try and ginn up women votes. But it backfired on them. Apparently karl Rove had not vetted the View’s hosts. Too bad that is their fault. When Obama went on the O’Riely show, he was not treated too kindly either. But he didn’t call a press conference to say how he was treated on that show. If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

I wish ALL media would take a lesson from the View and ask harder questions of the candidates. Media should learn to press harder when they refuse to answer or dodge the questions altogether. The ladies of the View did a great service to America. Look what we get stuck with in the White House when we handle candidates with kid gloves. In the last election, people voted for the one they would like to have a beer with.

If the republicans can pull off getting Sarah Palin elected as VP. this nation will not in my mind be a democracy. She isn’t qualified to be Governor, and surely not qualified to be VP, of the greratest nation on Earth
You do realize that Obama has only been in the U.S Senate for 173 days and he’s already running for President of this country. He is surely NOT qualified to lead this nation.
Palin is a VP so she WON’T be leading this nation UNLESS something happens to McCain. Anyway, I would trust her more than Obama because she has more experience than he does.

So true Tat,
Why didn’t Gibson press Palin harder for the truth when she failed to give an answer to 80% of his questions?

McCain is up 50 percent today compared to Obama at 47. It is nothing short of amazing that this is so. It just goes to show you that the media, this board, and shows like the View really do not represent America at all. You are a snapshot that is for sure and one that is angry, nasty and bitter. The View fell into the gutter when Walters found it necessary to tell us through her book that she had an affair with a black man years ago. The Barbara Walters years ago with some sort of integrity would never, ever have done such a lousy thing. I was a faithful View watcher years ago but not now, but then they don’t want anybody to watch unless they agree with their liberal views. It is their how after all.

“McCain is up 50 percent today compared to Obama at 47. It is nothing short of amazing that this is so. ”
—————-
First, other polls will tell you something else. None of them show a statistical significant difference b/t the candidates. The only poll that matters is in November.
Second, there is nothing amazing about it. Most people do not vote on issues or integrity. The vote with their emotions. There is nothing so bad McCain or Palin could do or could have already done to keep some people from voting for them.

As far as the “view” goes it is all hosted by fickled liberal females except for mrs. hassleback. Barbara Walters dirty sheets should be exposed some time. I use to watach charley gibson all the time, but not any more aafter he tried to do in mrs. Palin. I didn’t realize he was another ultra socialist liberal. ABC is now offmy viewing list. All the major news media and publications are entrenched with a socialistic agenda for the nation. They are trying to elect our politicians thru negatvity and lies, rather than, being honest and putting out the real facts so the american people can gather the facts to elect our president. Shame on you.

Once I heard and saw her speak a few times and learned more about her the better I found I liked her.
I like Sare Palin too…..may the best man win and isn’t that the American way? or have we lost our way? relax….

My problem with Palin is that she appears to have no problem with lies and secrecy. She fires people who disagree with her views.. After 8 years of Bush and Cheney who had no problem with lies and secrecy and who fired people who didn’t agree with their views, I’m sick of it. The American people deserve better. It’s supposed to be government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And that means ALL the people not just the ones who agree with the President and VP.

The fundamentals of the economy are strong Sam. Just because they got greedy and tried to lend to people who were not qualified doesn’t mean our GDP does not continue to grow. In fact, as the dollar has corrected (weakend) more jobs will come back to the U.S. If we were not still producing, it would be cause for alarm but that is not the case. American greed caused problems, not the goverment. Try an economics class some day.

If you want to make an informed decision on candidates, you should never listen to their campaign speeches or watch political conventions. Candidates’ speeches tell you nothing about them. When they get into office, it will be actions, not good speeches, that determine their impact.
If you care about what candidates stand for, check their voting records and their executive actions. Put weight on what they say only if they have consistently said it over a long period, and even then only if their actions back it up.

William:
“Someday the audience of shows like the View will realize that their only job is sell advertising and stir up trash.”
————————
If you know that, why is McCain not smart enough to understand that? After all he CHOSE to go on the show after he and his staff fully vetted it. After you questioning his intelligence?

“All his decisions were for military and spc. intrests.”
Except for the veterans. He generally votes against them.

If the women on The View could intimidate McCain – how will he be able to go up against leaders from Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan. . . He may have been a hero once and had courage once, but I don’t recognize the man running for President now. He is not the McCain of 20 years ago – not even 8 years go.

mfm…if that were true, why would McCain state several times in town hall meetings that he voted against it because it was ‘too generous’ and did not encourage ‘career military’? Face it, he voted against the vets he says he supports. I watched one town hall meeting where he was confronted about it by a vet and said exactly what I just wrote.

Its good to be in america; we have to vote for somebody, so why not vote for the best man and that’s Obama; I know he will do good because he have it all together; and has put together a good team; so just be honesy. Micheall is not as old as cindy; thats why she haven’t done the things that cindy has done. and as far as Mc Cain running mate she should be home caring for her babies; Some one will take her husband whild she’s running behind Mccain

The roots of today’s financial crisis can be traced back to the Community Reinvestment Act, a product of the Carter administration, that FORCES private institutions to lend to unqualified buyers in “disadvantaged” areas. It essentially CREATED the subprime market. It was later REINFORCED under the Clinton administration where Janet Reno declared “No loan is exempt,
no bank is immune. For those who thumb their nose at us, I promise vigorous enforcement.” This is what happens when the government, with the best of intentions, sticks their nose it where it doesn’t belong. But hey, don’t let facts get in the way of a good story.

“His right arm is two inches shorter than the left, his fingers are impaired, and he can’t raise his arms above his shoulder because of physical abuse at the hands of the North Vietnames captors.”
Stephen Hawking used a computer and he couldn’t move any part of his body. What kind of logic is that? Oh yes, Republican logic. Up is down, down is up, and it’s not lying if I say it’s true.

Tommy, McCain has said that he doesn’t know how to use a computer. That’s what Obama’s ad is about. He is saying McCain is not with the times. Why people are reading more into this is beyond me.

Tommy Bailey: I know quadriplegics who use the computer. That’s the most laughable argument to date. He’s so disabled that he can’t even use a computer and hasn’t bothered to even learn to use a modified computer for the handicapped – but you think he can take on the most difficult and challenging job in the whole world? We’ve had 8 years of the country being run by C student governing that relies on cronyism and blind partisanship to keep itself in power. It’s time to let the people who actually tried to get good grades to run things for a while.

Ms. Palin should read Stephen Hawking’s books…if she even knows who he is.

Anyone who would actually listen to the views and opinions of Joy Behar deserves Obama/Biden in the White House. I wouldn’t ask Joy directions to the local McDonald’s, never mind ask her about politics. Again & again she has shown her stupidity.Show some respect…asking McCain about Roe v Wade, asking Obama about his favorite food. Yea..that’s the same. Keep it up though, like I said earlier, everytime one of these idiot libs opens their mouths and spews their ignorance, it’s another vote for McCain/Palin! Thanks, Joy! Go Mcain!

Jackie…maybe someone better ask Hasselbeck about her demeaning language on Michele Obama. She also stick her big mouth in all the time wiht her politcal views. She makes me sick.

No one deserves Obama and the hippy party…

Wow, how closed minded the McCain/Palin naysayers continue to be! How easy it is to ignore the fact that Senator Obama has so many skeletons in his closets that the closet doors are bulging off the hinges.
As a former Senator Hillary Clinton, supporter (who has never voted for a Republican for POTUS); I am proudly and with confidence voting for McCain/Palin. Both Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin are dedicated public servants who will make Washington and our Country responsive to the needs of the people (not the special interests). We need reform and change in Washington and McCain/Palin are the team to bring the kind of CHANGE THAT WE REALLY NEED.
For all of you still under Senator Obama’s spell, I hope that you come out of your trance soon. The majority of Americans see through the phony Obama glitz and the empty speeches of a highly skilled orator.
There are millions of former Hillary supporters just like me (and please forgo the comments that I am not a REEEEAL Hillary supporter – I spent months working for Hillary during the Dem. Primary). As I stated, I am now supporting McCain/Palin because no one owns my vote and I will not be bullied into voting for a candidate that I do NOT believe in. I respect Senator Clinton’s present position in the Presidential Campaign because she must work with the Democrat Party and campaign for Senator Obama.
I will not join that effort to elect Senator Obama as POTUS because I saw the total corruption of democracy in the Democrat Party Caucuses during the Primary. You can see for yourself the meticulously documented analysis and chronicling of the voter fraud that was carried out by the DNC and the Obama Campaign on Dr. Lynette Long’s website (just google Dr. Lynette Long and voter fraud and you will find the site). For those who take the time to read the tales of deceit and corruption you will probably conclude (as I did) that our very democracy is now at stake.
As a result of the outright voter fraud, intimidation and illegal activities perpetrated in the Caucuses, Senator Obama fraudulently “won” the Democrat Party Nomination for POTUS (under very questionable circumstances). Democracy was trashed in this process and those of us who know the truth must speak out.
You may ask, well if this really happened then why didn’t the media report this important story and why didn’t the DNC step in and stop the illegal activity and voter fraud? The answer is very simple – the present corrupt leadership of the DNC had “chosen” Senator Obama as the Democrat Party Candidate in typical political machine back room deal making (you might say – Chicago style).
The strategy to utilize the Dem. Party Caucuses to carry out the manipulation of the primary electoral process (for Senator Obama to win) was set in motion from the very beginning (the Caucus structure unfortunately was vulnerable to this kind of subversion). Remember, Senator Obama won almost NO States that had regular election style

BUSH SHOWED US WHAT A –C–STUDENT COULD DO TO OUR COUNTRY,AND NOW YOU WANT TO TRY —C—STUDENT MCCAIN—-I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND IT.I GUESS THE DUMBER THE BETTER,NEW KIND OF LOGIC

Cindy should really get out more…out of the bubble that is.

The McCain ads DO contain lies — vicious lies that the McCain people know are not true. It’s good that somebody confronted McCain with these lies while most of the media are playing doormat.

Scott… good for you for voting Libertarian. I salute you.

TERESA
I SECOND THAT

Hey, delusionsl libs-
There is no Bush running this year. Bush cannot run this year. No Bush is on the ticket. What don’t you get? This
Obama tactic IS NOT WORKING!NO one except the delusional libs think McCain is Bush. Stop saying it. You look stupid. It’s lame. It’s almost as lame as the e-mail attack. On the other hand, keep it up!Bush/McSame!Yea, that’ll do it! As McCain’s goes higher in the polls and Obams just…keeps…dropping.
I love what the Obama backers were saying on all the shows this am…talk about delusional. “The more the voters get to know Obama the more they’ss vote for him.”
Uh, hello? We’ve been knowing him for 18 months or so and the more we find out, the more he drops in the polls! Worst candidate ever!
By the way…is anyone going to let Michelle Obama out of the closet she’s been locked in?? The more we get to know her..uh, yea.

The Republican campaign is beginning to resemble “Gone With the Wind”.
Oh whea ah mah smellin’ salts….

rodney-
The Only thing you have to do is repeat that for the next 51 days and you will be a happy man. The rest is noise.

‘McCain/Palin Women Empowering Democracy’
Isn’t that somewhat of an oxymoronic phrase?

Jackie, did you know that Mark Levin, a conservative radio talk show host calls McCain…..McLame. LOL

I love how on here, everybody calls the Dem. ticket Obama and the Rep. ticket McCain/Palin, McPalin, McBush, or even Palin’s campaign.
My question is, since when did campaign this stop being about Barack Obama versus John McCain?
Isn’t that what we’re really voting on here?
Sheesh!

rodney,
Bro, I’m on your side. Keep the discussion on McCain and the lies.

I don’t see how they could pick Cindy McCain’s bone’s clean… there’s not much to pick.

Woe is me! I’m tired of hearing and reading all of the petty bickering that goes on in this election campaign. I have voted Republican for the past 28 years. From Reagan to Bush, I’ve been a staunch support of the Republican Party. I even went so far as to enlist in the Navy on January 11, 1991 when Papa Bush declared war.
However, I refuse to be taken for granted and/or considered a fool, which is exactly what would happen if I voted Republican in this election. McCain never has and never will have any respect for women, and for Palin to allow herself to be so blatantly used only shows what a fool she is.
For those who continue to believe that McCain/Palin is the ticket for change, think about this. McCain has consistently said that government will not stand in your way; it will stand by you. Here’s what he didn’t say; government will stand by as you continue to lose your jobs, your homes, your savings, your retirement, and your sanity.
When you all are standing in the roadways trying to get folks to sign a petition to impeach him, I will be the one refusing to sign and laughing as your family is left to stand in soup lines because you were turned down for foodstamps. I will be the one watching as the sheriff puts your things out on the streets and a padlock on the home you used to own.
I will however pray for you, and ask God to direct some community organizer your way so your family can at least find a shelter to sleep in opposed to sleeping on the street. Truth is neither McCain nor Palin will invite you inside their homes. Good luck to the closed minded and blind.

I’ve read both candidate’s plans, watched them both hold town hall meetings, answer questions on their feet and checked their backgrounds, education and voting records.
As Americans, we cannot afford – at this critical time – to not take some personal responsibility for the direction our country is headed. If you are going to vote Nov. 4th, you should have done some homework and if you are voting strictly on personality, war record, beehive hairdo, then you deserve what you get. Sen. Obama has been laying out details for months and months and those are on his website. Sen. McCain has a few stringy ideas out there that don’t make a lot of sense, but he generally shoots from the hip. The point is, we all need to research before making a choice. It IS our government and our responsibility to do these things.

POW = Prisoner Of Washington

Jackie…I’ll name one. Sens. Obama and Luger (R) worked together to pass the nuclear (not nucular) proliferation bill. Please educate yourself before spouting off.

carly in NJ:
You wouldn’t recognize the TRUTH if you saw it.
“Remember, Senator Obama won almost NO States that had regular election style”
————————
Obama won the popular vote in 18 of the 35 states and territories that held primaries instead of caucuses.
Then you say you want a PEACE candidate, but yet you supported Hillary who supported teh attack on Iraq (no, she was not duped).
Nothing you say is to be trusted.

I live in NC and he won the primary in this state handily. His grassroots organization has also registered a huge number of new voters in our state.

Jackie,
Take from the rich and give to the poor?
I’d say the majority of American’s – the poor, like that idea.
Who really wants to see the rich keep getting richer.
If you call helping the poor socialist, then I’m red as you can get.

Obama wants to put money in families’ pockets to provide palpable relief from the energy crisis. Americans are paying outrageous prices at the pumps while oil companies are reaping record-breaking profits and their executives are getting HUGE bonuses.
Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families:Barack Obama will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on Obama’s long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.

These, I won’t call them ladies on the View were very disrespectful. Don’t care what views you have, if you invite someone into your home you treat them with respect. All the eye rolling and sneers were not necessary. They are supposed to be professional…but I question that. Really, don’t know why the McCains would ever accept an invitation to such a biased show. I would have said “go to —-. My VIEW, the VIEW stinks, not for just this show,but all of them.

MEW:
“Don’t care what views you have, if you invite someone into your home you treat them with respect.”
—————————
You’re a bit confused. This was a TV interview that McCain wanted to do.

I have to say this. You So Call right wing republican. I will bet you will see that the honeymoon will soon end for Palin. And not only this. You will witness that the polls will start showing the turn back to Obama/Biden.
The Lies are now coming to the surface for the there campain. I am a Republican. I have Voted for Ronald Reagan and George Walker Bush. And in the beginning for his Son George Bush. I am ashamed now I did. Over or now near 5000 americans have been killed and most of the blood is on his hands and all those who voted for this war. But I dont blame all of them. Because Bush sure fooled the Senate and Congress and the Media also the American People. We were all dooped about this war. But Certainly if Palin will have it her way. Alaska as she prophesy in her church will be the last haven for america after the Nuclear war. And now she wants to tangle with Russia. She is clearly a radical. And she is pact with lies. She is still repeating her speech In Nevada since the Republican convention and repeating her lies over and over in her speech and this bridge to No Wear. Its time to say good bye Palin. And goodbye McCain. I am not stupid and blind. My Vote is for Obama/Biden. I May be Republican. But Not another 4 years of lies and fighting and seeing this country to fall apart more and more. And McCain is the McSame of George Bush.

DennisNC:
No, I am not confused, I am well aware that this was a TV show. I was merely making a point….you can disagree but you can also be polite. There is no need to be so rude, which these jerks do almost on a daily basis; not just with the McCains.

Janet,
The theory of wealth redistribution has roots from many ancient philosophers. Only recently was it taken up by Marx and hence became the open target of many capitalists esp. in America where its decried as unpatriotic. To think it would not help our country as it stands, would be to not look hard enough at Socrates and Aristotle. Hell, democracy is founded on their ideals along with other Greeks.
It’s all just a misinterpreation created by electioneering.
And that’s the truth.

I think most people would agree that a show like The View and the opinions of the “stars” of that show are of little consequence. However, I couldn’t help but compare their “discussion” with the McCain’s with that of Senator Obama. Basically, they acted like bullies with the McCain’s and fawned over Obama like starry-eyed sixteen year olds. It is their show and they can do what they want to do, but to me there was no reason why they had to appear so , another step backward for women.

Educate myself?
This is what some dopey Libs do.
They have no argument, so they attack.
Next I’ll be called a bimbo.
Or a war monger.
Or a book banner.
Or old.
Or out of touch.
If I was rich, (I’m not), I would be pretty mad that Obama wants to take my money and give it away.
That’s one thing wrong with this country.
Many people feel like they are owed something from the government.
They’re not.(except life, liberty and the pursuit, etc.)
Regarding Obama’s bipartisanship, spare me. Everyone knows that the nuclear issue would have passed with or without Obama. I’m talking about taking a stand, not just voting “present.”
McCain may have voted with Bush, (as is the norm in the Senate), but then why did Obama vote with the Dems 90 per cent of the time?
And one more thing, as I have often repeated, keep up the mocking…POW, McBush, Cindy McCain’s looks, it just adds up to more votes for my candidate.
McCain/Palin 08!
As an aside, I must say that I totally respect most of the people who are blogging here tonight, Dems and Repubs both. You have a fantastic grasp of the issues, are informing me of some things I wasn’t aware of, and making great cases for both candidtaes.
Having said that, could someone please direct Barack Pbama to this website? He is more concerned about John McCain’s eyeglasses in 1982, and the fact that he is unable to send many e-mails because of his war injuries. Oh and he’s had cancer 749 times.
Thanks!

Dennisnc: I’m just as quilty…arguing over and over about the same point.I’m going to Statesville Fri and help register. Going to training for the phone banks too. Thats where are power is these last 7 weeks…thats where Obama needs us.

carly in NJ:
For the sake of debate, let’s accept your statement that Obama only won 18 of 39 primaries (even though it is 18 of 35).
Do you still maintain that 18 is “almost NO(ne)”? Yes, you are a liar.

jackie, I am not here to lecture. I am here to state my point, same as you. We can debate, but I will not mock you and I ask you do the same.
We already have forms of socialism in this country, such as our public education system, social security and medicare. We can debate where to draw the line, but it is clear the majority of Americans believe some amount of socialism is appropriate in a democratic society.
I would argue that the line can move depending on the needs of the people. We are in a time of great need.
I do not dispute the merits of capitalism and laissez faire governing. But let the climate of the times persuade you. Everyone agrees: A large, motivated middle class is essential for capitalism. Housing and healthcare are crippling our middle class. McCain believes he can fix it by reforming earmarks and finding efficiencies–but that is woefully short.
In addition to addressing both these issues, Obama also vows to close corporate loopholes so that corporations pay their fair share. Greenspan says this won’t be enough, either, but it is a good bit closer than McCain would do.

It appears that we have gone from a PRESUMPTIVE nominee to a PRESUMPTUOUS first lady.
Hang on there, Cindy. Don’t lie awake at night worrying about how you will measure up to other first ladies. It smacks of arragonce.
You still have a long row to hoe, as we say here in the Midwest.

DennisNC:
Just to reiterate a few points:
Because you need to call others who you disagree with a “liar”; I believe your thinking to be illogical and delusional.
DennisNC, your need to use this attack tactic demonstrates the total weakness of your position and argument.
I believe that you also need to take this rigid position because you are not willing to see any possibility of the TRUTH in anything other then what YOU believe.
In my opinion, you have allowed your unquestioning following of an individual to take away your ability to think for yourself.
If you READ the facts….you might just see another perspective.
I believe that Senator Obama will loose the Election for POTUS because the US is NOT a socialist Country, we are not the new Soviet Union even though the far left wing of the Democrat Party would like to make our Country a new socialist State.
That I believe is the CHANGE Senator Obama has in mind for our Country.
No Thanks, I like American Democracy the way it is and I OWN MY VOTE which I gladly cast for McCain/Palin!!
According to the polls there are a lot of folks who agree and they will vote for Senator John McCain for POTUS and Gov. Sarah Palin of VP!!

The View is unwatchable trash — and I’m a liberal Democrat, mind you!

Palin.
She came. She saw. She failed.
She did not conquer.

I so agree with Brooklyn. The heat’s turning up and Barbie’s about to have a meltdown. The world of politics is rough … and this is only the beginning of the scruntiny they’re going to face in the next few weeks. The more the truth comes out about Palin, the more this thing will come unraveled. Let’s just hope the American public cares.

I think this was a good interview. McCain and Cindy finally met real strong women. Sarah Palin does not represent real strong women. Real strong women worked hard to pave the way for women like Sarah Palin to be what she is today. She in turn is throwing them all away for Political gain. She terrifies me. She will put women and others decades back. McCain should listen to the real women and not the Sarah Palin type women that does not represent them. Challenge McCain to allow Palin to come on the view. Then women can see what Sarah Palin is really about.

Who watches The View? Frankly, if the mean-spirited, full-of-herself Joy is for Obama that’s one good reason not to vote for him. The show is worse than trash.

I give both Sen. McCain and his wife a lot of credit for maintaining their composure and being class acts during that hate-fest on The View. If the same treatment had been given to the Obamas when they appeared on the show, I wouldn’t be saying a word right now. The “ladies” really tried way too hard to be hard-hitting and relevant. They failed.
My question for Joy Behar: Did you accuse Obama of lying about Hillary’s health care plan when he was on the show?
My comment for Barbara Walters: You diminished your already-questionable journalistic standing with the absolute rudeness you showed when constantly interrupting McCain when he was answering your attacks.
That was the last View for me.

No, Dan, they haven’t given any info about Obama’s trip to Pakistan, just as they haven’t covered his relationship with Odinga and what happened in Kenya.
This should not surprise you, because the MSM also never covered Obama’s relationship with Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge. The MSM is not about covering facts; it is about pushing its anti-American agenda.

Anti-American agendas in American Corporate Culture.
This must involve off shore bank accounts.

Now let’s think about this…
What would make McCain’s people think Oprah would be any easier on them?
This was supposed to be a friendly, safe environment.
The truth hurts, and look who is hurting now.
Curious she said it away from the show.
Does anyone know if the show intends to run the footage tomorrow? I HAVE to watch now!!!!

I admire the McCains for being composed and civil in such a hate-filled environment. Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg? Totally 100% LOONS!

Posted by: clarity | Sep 15, 2008 1:42:48 AM
the money for the bridge was appropriated in 11/2005–BEFORE palin was govenor…

Isn’t it interesting that when Republicans disagree with the media or a printed article (book), the first thing they want to do is make it go away? They wanted to boycott Oprah and now it’s The View. Sarah Palin wants to ban books from the library and actually had a book removed from a bookstore shelf. Why can’t we have intelligent discussions and when our differences aren’t resolved, we should just agree to disagree. I guess that’s not in the Republicans’ DNA. They don’t seem to be happy unless there is some disruption. As John McCain said when closing out his Convention Speech, “…FIGHT with me, FIGHT with me, FIGHT for what’s right with our Country.”

Welcome to “The View”. We kick butt and call it like it is. Who knew… you go girls!
Took you off TIVO when Rosie left, you’re back on. We need your viewpoint more than ever.
Poor Cindy, so sad the ladies ruffed you up. How dare they ask you to tell the truth about your campaign tactics. That’s just rude, rude, rude. Common people should know better when speaking to the nouveau aristocracy.
And to those that look down on the media and folks that absorb it, what are we suppose to do, just listen to campaign rhetoric? Please get real. Don’t understand why you’re even on the blog?
57% (18+) voted in 2004. Let’s make 80 to 90% in 2008.
Go Joy and Barb!

If he can’t handle ‘The View’ how in hell is he going to stand up to Bin Laden?

I hope your bag is deep.
JM handled himself with civility and grace against a stacked crowd.
Compare that with TWO Obama claims to debate JM anytime, anywhere and then refuse 10 open townhall debates.
Seriously, how will Obama stand up to anybody without a teleprompter telling him what to say?

Goodnight and Best Wishes to all!!!

“Picked our bones clean” – she must be comparing Michelle Obama to an Old Crow, yes? Isn’t that how the McCain campaign would spin it?
P.S. What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and George Bush?
Lipstick!

John McCain will be the best presidential liar. He really does outshine George Bush in the audacity of his lies and distortions. He could very well be the best liar ever to be president.
And Cindy, although I’m not sure if she can hold a candle to Palin’s dimwittedness, will certainly bet the best dressed first lady, with the most dazzling dye job. I really liked her better when she had natural gray hair. But it seems she likes to be as phony as her husband. Get back on your private jet Cindy, and don’t worry about what all those unwashed masses think. You go girl! Lies, er, anchors away!

Dave in lv, you have led a unopposed, early morning assault. I do not believe many of your facts.
You will admit that both candidates have launched personal attacks. There is no way to deny that.
McCain’s personal attacks have been debunked repeatedly, and called a new low in politics the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, MSNBC, and others. This is not because of a bias–this is due to attention drawn to these ads by private American citizens on chat boards like these. I am uncomfortable with Obama’s 1982 ad–I wish he had not sunk to such depths–but the point does need to be made. I do believe McCain is out of touch with me, and I believe I am representative of most Americans–middle class, 3 small children, in danger of losing my house, etc.
Obama has refused town hall meetings because he can draw a larger audience. He has a vision he wishes to bring to a larger crowd. He and McCain will debate, and when they do, McCain will be talking about all things familiar and safe, while Obama will be talking about vision and change. This is not a crack at either candidate–it is the fundamental divide. Republicans relate to people by talking about what they already know to be true. Democrats don’t take anything for granted, and talk about what could be.
I did not see the O’Reilly interview, but your criticism is consistent with a Republican view that Democrats waffle. But this stems from the fundamental divide. Democrats are reluctant to talk in absolutes, however this is misconstrued as waffling. Obama’s economic plan is listed on his web site, and commonly believed to be more plausible, by people such as Alan Greenspan, than John McCain’s plan. Shouting “My plan will work!” does not actually make it any realer than saying, “This plan can help the American people, but we have much more to do.”
You clearly are one who knows what he knows, and therefore McCain appeals to you. Is it possible that this appeal prevents you from seeing the flaws in McCain’s plans? He has voted 81% with a party that has no mandate. At a time of change, we need someone who has voted 95% of the time against that party. That man is Barack Obama.

Marylou, I do not see any post attributed to Karl Rove here. These are American people saying they believe John McCain is lying. They are not saying this because that’s what Barack Obama tells them–either side refutes the other’s claims–they are saying this because they have read it repeatedly through independent news sources. NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times and more have all written op-eds on distorted facts, quotes taken out of context, and blatant misrepresentation.
For a primer, please visit FactCheck, where you can why so many Americans believe this once honorable man has stooped too far.

The living dinosaur of politics
has never met a lie he didn’t like.
He is an accomplished con artist.

One other comment:some here are not as informed as they could be…one other site for further information about both sides is factcheck
They check both sides, if Obama is wrong, they say so, if McCain is wrong, they say so and so on…
I am 56, never voted, but my eyes have been opened in this election.
I would rather vote with my head then to vote for what I found more attractive.
Anything worth having is worth suffering for.
My vote goes to Obama because he wants me to act like an American, I will sacrifice for my country, not lie to it with every breath.

Wow i wonder what side of the line this Site is on. Fair and partial. Lets bring Obama’s back on and begin to grill them about all of there lies and misgivings that we are all aware of. Lets see how that plays out. But no that wont happen because the only way that they will come is if they have the guarantee that the hosts will follow a predefined monolog…. huh…fair and partial….

Cindy McCain has now just shown how very, very, low she and Jon McCain have stooped.
Political candidate typically stop the proven lies when confronted and caught. John McCain and Cindy McCain are just continuing the lies!!
I am registered Republican!! I am a woman!! I am totally insulted!! Honesty and integrity are important aspects for all Americans.
This has nothing at all to do with Barack Obama Campaign. John McCain created and told all the lies!!
The news media, fact check, experts, analysts, have all proven without a doubt John McCain Campaign has been LYING.
Barack Obama has stretched truth a little. But all the expert report and evaluations done reveal he is not the smear campaign. Obama did not start. Obama reacted only.
I have become very disgusted with my party- THE REPUBLICANS. McCain is actually saying I am too stupid to realize THEY ARE LYING, LYING, AND CONTINUE TO LIE.
AMERICANS PLEASE CHECK THE FACTS! MCCAINS STATEMENTS NOW NEED TO BE CHECKED FROM NOW ON!! WHY? PROVEN MCCAIN IS LYING. CAN NO LONGER BE TRUSTED TO TELL TRUTH. WORDS ARE CHEAP AND MUST BE SUPPORTED BY TRUE FACTS! PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR THESE LIES!
HOW CAN THIS BE??? HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ALL OF US??? I DON’T CARE IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. HONESTY BY POLITICIANS IS WHAT WE MUST ALL DEMAND!! DO WE WANT A CROOKED POLITICIANS?? NO!!
WHERE ARE AMERICANS LAWS TO PROTECT US FOR LYING TO US??

The reason why Obama refused 10 townhall debates was the audience wasn’t large enough?
Is that the reason he broke his promise?
After promising anytime, anywhere, Obama has set some new requirement there must be a minimum of X number of people? What is the number?
That is so laughable that anyone who watches what is going knows this is pure BS.
Look at the number of people showing up at Obama rallies. A number of times it was less than a thousand. One that was on TV was estimated at less than 200.
Please find ANY reason stated by Obama as to why he reneged on his promise to debate. I haven’t heard one or seen any statement given by him.

I will never watch the view again i thought ms. walters was a real ***** about the whole thing with mr.and mrs. john mccain and joy should not return we at our office were sicken by the whole ordeal we will turn the channel for now own. we love whoopi and elizbeth but the rest we can not stand.

I was shocked when I saw this on the View. Barbara Walters was on attack with Whoopi ready to strike. I was embarressed and knew it would be the last time I watched this show. I am a Democrat and have watched the View for years. The McCain’s actually rose to a higher level of respectability in my eyes. I could not believe the audascity when Walters asked that the McCain’s tell everyone how “nice” they were treated on the show. Unbelievable.

While it’s true that both Obama and McCain have run less than honest campaign ads, you have to take your hat off to McCain for stooping to a whole new level of lying. Obama NEVER supported a bill to teach sex to kidnergartners, in fact there never was such a bill. It was to educate them on how to protect themselves against predators. That’s about as shameful of a lie you can tell. Obama has my vote.

HAHAHAHAHAH THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE PRESSURE ON THE VIEW HOW CAN THEY HANDLE OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS VOTE OBAMA

The hosts on this show are a bunch of hacks!!! No more of ‘The View’ for my family…they were disgraceful!!!

Unbelievable!
John & Cindy McCain are the most pathetic examples of public servants.
Your life should be an open book, you are running to run the country if you can’t handle people scrutinizing your views and positions then you should not be trying to lead the country! EXCLAMATION POINT!
And of all shows you can’t handle “the view”-if you can’t handle The View, then how the hell are you gonna handle any other pundits or other world leaders? It’s not my cup of tea either, but if I was running for president I certainly wouldn’t whine about it after the fact. Nobody put a gun to their head to appear on it. Again the subtext is that women should not be uppity making trouble-or be confrontational, they should be complicit and overly accomodating for others. Cindy McCain is out of touch what era did she holideck in from anyways? 1951? That sole expectation on her part for The View’s to host w/complicity to the McCain’s campaign is alone more offensive then their whole political platform.
It appears that the new way of trying to get ahead in the polls is to complain about being picked on, play the gender card-esp Sarah-(even though she’s a barracuda)-suddenly you can’t handle some tough confrontational pointed questions?
It’s quite comical to see out of touch the McCain team really is, thus labelling people/media that have differing views as liberals and calling “harassment” everytime they make a case against them. I can see how that level of deductive intelligence would bother them.
And this is the team that might be entrusted to work bi-partisan in the White House? They are going to represent the average american? HOW? If you can’t even hear another person’s point of view? What a joke and the independents and women turning to McCain are falling for it, wake up!

I watched “The View.” I do not recall a question asked of Mrs. McCain about how she felt stealing a disabled woman’s husband when she took McCain away from his first wife. I did not hear questions about her drug abuse. I did not hear questions about the amount she contributes to the beer lobby to keep liquor laws lax. Picked clean. Hardly.

Cindy obviously didn’t get the memo that there is a large part of America – oh I’d say at least 50%- that share the views of the hosts of The View. What is sad is the toughest interview that McCain has had this campaign season was conducted on The View!! This shows how out of touch Cindy and John McCain are. Suck it up and quit your crying. We’re sick and tired of your crocodile tears about everything!!

THE VIEW IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO ALL WOMEN. I DON’T KNOW ANYONE WHO TAKES THE NUTJOBS ON IT SERIOUSLY, LET ALONE THINKS THE WHOOPIE BEHAR DUO HAVE AN OUNCE OF INTELLIGENCE.

If John Mccain doesn’t want to hear the truth, then he and his wife should stay off those show where they are being interviewed. The truth always seems to sneak out.

Her bones still have meat on them?

Is she kidding? Any self respecting talk show, or voter for that matter who has been listening to McCain’s trash would have to question it.
Seems the McCain/Palin’s think the public is beneath them, and have no right to question them….hmmm, isn’t that what Bush/Cheney have been doing fot the past 8 years.
How can someone who has 7 houses, know what people making 28K a year before taxes…paying $1000 a month rent, paying for utilities, food etc., know what a struggle this economy is handing them. OH, I forget, McCain thinks the economy is strong (for a few hours any way)
The people DO have a right to ask and know, and thanks to THE VIEW, you saw the real McCoy’s(McCains)

~Paloozie
Both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama were Guest Host on the view. BOTH made very comfortable….and BOTH making there guest host appearance before the conventions and before their husbands became the canidates for president of the United States. This now is a different ballgame. Now it’s time for US to ask the hardball questions before voting. I’m sure if Obama and his wife make the show before the election, they too will not be getting fluff questions.

my oh my! such whinners. Mr & Mrs McCain should just suck-it-up. That is what the rest of us have to do when things don’t go our way; such as when we lose our jobs, continue to hope for health care and generally live our lives day to day, struggling to make ends meet. Life’s tough I know it’s hard to think about that when you have 7 houses and walk around in $500 shoes (my car payment). tisk, tisk, tisk.

Dem solutions:
You want a job? The government will provide it for you.
You want healthcare? The government will give it to you for free.
You want free preschool and college? Government will provide at no cost.
Need money for retirement? Government will provide.
Over extend your credit in buying a house? Government to the rescue.
Is your company going broke due to mismanagement? Government will not only rescue it, government will set up regulations and oversight so it can’t fail again.
Gas prices to high? Government will for force oil companies to drill where they haven’t found any oil.
Cars don’t get 150 mpg? Government will force car companies to make them.
The temperature of the earth rising? We’ll have the government fix it even though most scientists believe any governmental action would be insignificant.
Want to unify the country? The government will implement a “fairness” doctrine that will effectively muzzle those who speak against the party line.
All we need is more and more and more and more government with one party ruling the House, the Senate and the Presidency.
Then we will all be happy.

PS
And we won’t have any enemies because we will sit down, listen to them and they will like us.

Fox News is the only place to watch a fair and balanced talk show. Can’t resist using that old race card? It’s obvious who’s voting only on the basis of skin color. I would truly like to see Michelle and Barack interviewed with the same venomous attitude. Won’t happen though! Ladies of the news indeed! Gov. Palin outshines them like a super nova!

Like my middleclass parents taught me, “if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen”. The last thing we need is another old white guy running this country. Why do people want more of the same. Obama might not have all the answers but McCain doesn’t either. As far as picking Palin, I think she is an idiot. I don’t know why people are so consumed with her. I’m not impressed and I’m a 28 yr old white women. She’s a joke!!!

Liberal, conservative…..Do you really believe what any politician has to say?????

Why anyone even goes on this show is beyond me. I couldn’t watch that bunch of dimwits with somebody’s else’s eyes! What a useless band of self-absorbed twits.

The old crows on the View are stupid and you can not argue with stupid, they will just drag you down to their level and beat you to death with experience.
They are a bunch of old left wing has-been’s, who do not speak for America.

Geez enough of the how many houses someone has crap. My god… nobody mentions how rich Kerrys wife is or how rich Hillary is. She loaned her own campaign millions of dollars and now asks supporters to help her pay herself back…whos stupid enough to send her money to help her maintain her wealth? They are ALL rich… and im poor =)

If anyone believes that Obama and his wife will be treated the same when they go on “The View” have obviously never watch the show. The only person on that show that would grill them in any manner would be Elizabeth and she would be shot down at ever question. The other women of that show have one opinion only and display their liberal bias almost daily.
Further, there is so much bias in the media I have stopped paying attention. I will listen to the debates and read actual transcripts of events to make my decision.

Later, when McCain mentioned that he wanted to appoint Supreme Court justices who “strictly interpret” and “enforce” the Constitution, moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked: “Do I have to be worried about becoming a slave again?”
Why did ABC not carry THIS comment to the front page? Whoopie needs to GET OVER IT…I did not, nor did any recent generations of white folks have slaves…nor was SHE ever a slave!

People call conservatives self-righteous but the true definition is the ladies of “The View”. The Liberal contempt for any view but thier own was clearly shown. To them the name “Reagan” is the same as serial killer and “Conservative” is racist. No one grilled Obama on his lie about McCain wanting to be in Iraq for 100 years, or his inability to use a computer easily (because of injuries). It was a lynching, and McCain stood tall. Once again, he showed more personal courage than anyone in recent memory.

Apparently Whoopi should try reading the Constitution, particularly the 14th amendment which outlaws slavery.

“The View” is a good name for this show…there certainly aren’t views on this show…just the view.

Does Whoopi not realize there is the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution which John McCain wants to adamently adhere to? What a stupid remark she made.

When was Whoopi EVER a slave….what a stupid remark! Joy Behar is just an air-headed idiot anyway…I hope most women don’t share her “views” about anything!

To Whoopi, you are slave to the Democratic party!

The last time I looked Whoopi wasn’t a slave , way below her pay grade!! And I’m sure that she has no more need to worry than she does about her right to vote. Quit palying the race card! It’s getting old! I’m sick of these people with closed minds. They say they’re liberals but the only thing they seem to be liberal with is their mouths!!

Wow, I must really be out of the loop. I had no idea Whoopi Goldberg had ever been a slave!

Whoopi…no need to worry about the Republicans putting you into slavery…you are already a slave on the Democratic plantation…A little history lesson for you though…It was a Republican (Abraham Lincoln) who helped free slaves…It is your own party who still has a member of the KKK (Robert Byrd).

Thank God for the women on the View actually calling the McCain candidates on untruths. I’m so sick of the Republicans crying “liberal media” or “unpatriotic” any time anyone dares to question them.

So Whoopi went from being a slave to an expert in politics and foreign policy…isn’t American great!

oh come on Whoopi the race card again, isn’t that old by now, get over it already. Whoopi a slave now that’s funny. Now these so called ladies on the view are so narrow minded they can’t even see the fact that Obama stated he would only raise taxes on the weathly, well wouldn’t that mean these ladies. And why do celebrities think their views are any more important then anyone else. It always makes me laugh when a celebrity has to voice their view. Maybe their just not getting enough press at that time.

Beau:
Im sure you just forgot but you can also add that our Rep. Party supports our troops and our nominee is a Combat Veteran….but then again we are all trailer trash….I guess Iam as well seeing as though I lived in one for 16 months in IRAQ. Which Im sure you can relate to…I know McCain can!!! CAN OBAMA?

The liberal ladies of “The View” are a tolerant and open minded bunch aren’t they?
While they were disrespectful, rude and insulting, John McCain has faced a whole lot tougher enemies in his life than the liberal ladies of The View.

They were also boasting a few days later that they “grilled” them. It was unfair in the way that they showed the bias for Obama, not that they were just doing the job. Cindy McCain is a great person that everyone on the left despises.
Great job Cindy.

I don’t normally watch The View, but I was looking forward to watching it when I found out about the McCains being guests. I had to turn off my TV and walk away after about 5 minutes. I was absolutely furious with how they treated John McCain, immediately starting in on him like none other. Silly me, I thought it would be a platform for him to talk about his views and why he should be the next President. Instead, it was yet another example of left wing, Obama-loving cynics who view McCain in office as a third term for Bush. Michelle Obama was a guest host not too long ago. I’m sure they didn’t pose one negative inquiring question to her. I don’t know for sure, though. I didn’t watch it… Elisabeth is the smartest person on that show…

Violations of the U.S. Consitutions , and Rejection of the Bible are the reason for the total corruption of democracy on the Democrat party followers. Surely, America will fall into more our country’s enemies.
Freedom on unhealthy morals and ethics is still not an answer to the Democrat liberalists. When the increase of liberalism, don’t you notice we face more plaques of strange weather, and economy sent by God and even growth of hatred with no appreciation with their successes like Whoopi.
Wealthy and successes with no appreciation will be temporary.

The View was extremely rude. It doesnt matter who comes on the show. I will never watch the view again. It was totally diqusting to see the way they treated the McCains.Joy should certainly appologise, she is a vey rude woman.She thinks so much of herself that she can’t see beyond Joy. I don’t watch Larry KIng Live when she is on either. Her opinion does not matter to me.She is a loud mouth discusting person.

Hmm – its okay to say bad things about Obama – but not McCain or Palin? I’m on the View’s side – you go girls! We definitely need to take a broom and clean out our government – starting with Bush Cronies like McCain!

The View has Joy, Whoopie, and Barbara all screetching at the same time making fodder out of reality. The show is an insult to America. We are at a critical decision making crossroads. America does not need to turn left onto Obama Socialist Street at the intersection of Terrorist Disaster and Big Government Avenue.
Barbara Walters is no longer credible. Joy is totally lost. Whoopie is all about Whoopie slavery. I for one will be happy to hear when the show leaves the air. It has done more harm, and is below the level of Jerry Springer. Barbara, dear you do not have my respect. Really, the important focus is upon America. Right now, we need to choose a President that is not running for personal gain. John McCain is running for President to give service to America, a cause that is beyond his self. He does not need the job for financial gain. He is capable of leading our country militarily and economically through harms way! Let us vote for America! May God bless America and have mercy upon us all!!!

I thought the McCains had more sense than to go on that show. You have to reduce your IQ to watch those vultures. Wake up Elisabeth and find something else to do, you’re the only one who gives that show credibility. Any one in America who cares what Whoopy or Joy think or say, needs counseling and Baba is trying to relive her past and it left her 20 years ago. She can no longer be considered a journalist or even a personality. It’s a show of has beens for wannabes!

THE VIEW? WHAT’S THAT? HAVE I BEEN MISSING SOMETHING? UMMMM – PROBABLY NOT

She is completely right. The interview questions and attitudes of both Whoopi and Barbara Walters was so disrespectful and unprofessional towards the McCain’s. Yes I am very aware of how this show is and that is why I do not watch, however, I watched for that purpose only — to see just how they would treat him since they were not confrontational with either of the Obama’s nor did they ever cut them off in the middle of their sugar coated questions. Whoopi – absolutely showed her lack of class and professionalism towards the McCain’s. Just go back and look at nothing but her facial expressions when the McCains were talking. Very distasteful.

I hope that thinking people everywhere will recognize and resist the blatant Liberal bias in most media outlets. None are worse than “The View” which should openly acknowledge their role as cheerleaders for the Democratic Party, and abandon all pretext of unbiased journalism. Fortunately, most people take it for what it is; garbage.

I am tired of all the whiners who are democrats and want a free ride. Oh I lost my job. Too bad. Get another. My father worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs his whole life raising 14 kids. He didnt whine. He didnt ask for welfare. Sometimes we did not have insurance. Life goes on. You self serving bleeding hearts make me sick. Grow up. You are building a world of useless, lazy people with an entitlement complex.

Is the O’Reily Factor fair to democrats wow, you guys are so one sided its very very funny to me, and good for America, there was a time women couldn’t voice their opionion now they can and you bask them…..that’s great for your party huh.

McCain and Palin lie. Even when they are called out on it, they continue to LIE. I hope the American People soon see that. Unfortunately some still have blinders on. But more and more people are beginning to see the light.
And now Palin is refusing to comply because Democrats have ‘tainted’ the investigation into her firing of her public safety commissioner? Give me a break.
Wake up people!

When hate trumps reason this is the type of behavior that comes out.

Just goes to show you. The veiw except for Eliz Hasselback wants to elect obama. The view was very disrespectful to the McCains.

So, I guess you all think that fair and balanced discussions is what you get from Fox. O’Reilly and Hannity do exactly the same rude interviews and spout their biased opinions with anyone that does not agree with their madness.
And, if you think Rush Limbaugh isn’t biased and spouting his hate everyday, you are living in dreamland.
Why is it so easy or necessary to demonize either of the candidates or their familiy members. Disagreeing is one thing, but the viciousness is scary.

Why doesn’t “the View” get BHO in to answer questions in regard to wanting the troops in Iraq to stay until the new administration “assuming it will be him” God forbid. You can see just how far he’ll go to feed his “ego”.America better wake up before it’s too late. He’d sell this great country out in a minute don’t think he wouldn’t. Why do you think the world wants him to win? We as a nation better start praying for America, not only for the economy but for the heart and soul of this country.Roe vs wade is more important to BHO then saving the life of a human being according to his own words 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

if the view hates mccain so much i say we should just disband all our millitary forces and our need for oil.
heck if messiah obama is loved by the world then we dont need to be worried about nuker attacks or any kinda of destruction to america then.. the view is so the view.. they can see the whats best for america.. since they are assume to be: mainsteam america, rich, beautiful know it all, hollywood type millionares .. actors sure can act…
i dont mind having the demcocrats in charge, i mean i love slavery since they support slavery back before the republican abolished it .. if whoopi was educated enough to know

Frankly, I was DISGUSTED at that interview.
Last week I began the boycott of Oprah, this week it is The View I will no longer watch.
Sure, they can ask questions, but the Liberals were rude and disrespectful. I will NEVER go to anything Whoopi performs in again. m her slave comment was really over the top.
A Life long Democrat, I am now a PUMA.
The PUMA cry is NOBAMA
Chalice

If you’re still wondering what’s wrong with this country, listen to the politicians, who want you take everything they say as fact – and that goes for both parties. Mrs. McCain is your consummate Republican – agree with us or your views are wrong, insensitive or anti-American. It’s going to get worse before it gets any better – especially if we elect another war-supporter.

I thought they were tacky and Babaw should not be considered a reporter. Bring Barry on and ask him of his criminal friends when he was a community orgainizer. The majority of Americans are sick of the left wing journalists, and I agree let’s see Obama sit down with Rush or Sean — it will never happen because he doesn’t have the guts, but McCain sits with them all. The View should be moved to MSNBC — this is why I do not watch Oprah, The View (anymore!), Today Show, GMA, etc….always one sided and mean spirited.

Isn’t it funny that everytime a so called liberal tries to trash McCain, his poll numbers go up, I say keep it up ladies and keep it coming.

Not much time left of this campaign and the media have turned a blind eye on the false accusations of McCain. They are focusing on how to create more crap stories and they don’t challenge the candidates on the issues. We watch the ladies from the ‘View’ trying to do their job of the suppose savvy political commentators The economy have crumple and the prosperity of many people are under risk not only in America but also worldwide This election is not only about some bridge in Alaska it is about all the bridges and roads in all the of United States because they are all crying out for repairs and maintenance. This is because for the last 8 years the Bush and the Republicans have spent enormous amounts to build up Iraq and they have forgotten about the needs of their own country. The comments of Cindy McCain confirms she out of touch from the mainstream Americans

As a woman, I never watch the view. When I hear the “STUPID’ comments from “The Girls”, I just laugh. Anyone who takes them serious is also crazy. Why in the world would newscasters even ask for Joys opinion, she’s the stupidest of them all. As for Whoopie, I guess she doesn’t remember that it was the Republicians who feed the slaves and also gave them the right to vote. She is also “TRASH” I am so glad Cindy gave them a piece of her mind.
GOOD JOB CINDY!!!!

I can tell you have only been around politics for a few years William. You are so wrong you have never been right. Your response had alot of effort but lacked substance and truth, it deserves a response from myself that includes no facts because you are clueless.

I never knew that Whoopie was a slave I don’t even think she ever played a slave in a movie? I also think it’s ok for Hollywood to vote but they need to stay out of politics,unless there running for office,And the democrats boo hooing about wall street,and it’s the dem,who has been incharge of all that for the pas two years! and now O’bama is saying that he is a reformer,that he has battled coruption!it’s funny after a year and a hafe he bring’s this up,and this 50 billon he talk’s about where do you think he is going to get it? and shame on you Barbara Walters,and your show,……..

To Jeannette Landis.
I am not black and I’m not ex-slave .But you understand how much all this people contribute to the American prosperity, working all day for peanuts:
No salary no human rights and so easy to replace any time .in fact voting for McCain you want the same thing for your kids

Attn: ‘A Democrat’
I somewhat agree with your characterization of Mr. McCain. However, I would also use those same traits to describe 90% of those in political office, whether Democrat or Replublic. No one can make be believe the President has total control of the path of our country. Congress makes the decisions. And yes, things have looked bleaker in the past 20 months. However, last I checked, the House and Senate contained a Democrat majority. Two years, the country voted for a change. We got one. Gas prices are up about 35%. Stocks are down 5% from two years ago. Of course, it’s the fault of the Bush administration. Politics are so ego-driven.

I believe that the highest form of praise can be gleaned from the VIEW, and their Cast….Who in the world needs idiots for support….Without a doubt, Joy Behar, and Whoopi really take the cake…as for Barbara WA WA, she sits as though she were in some sort of a Zombie state…No eye to eye contact, just drops her little “tidbits” every so often….Who needs them….Why watch them, (unless you have a sub strata IQ.

WAR INJURIES ARE EXCUSES! HE JUST SLAPPED THE ENTIRE DISABILITY COMMUNITY ACROSS THE FACE!
And now the real support is shown for the Military by a watcher of the VIEW. And yes I am a disabled Veteran and know too many war injured veterans that would like to explain in detail how this is not an excuse.
As for the country falling apart, don’t worry I am sure that Socialism will bring it together. Just as every other country that has gone to it…

This country represents hypocrisy to the fullest. I am so sick of hearing about Barack Hussein Obama being the first African-American candidate. That statement within itself reflects the ORIGINAL doctrine of slavery and all the nasty FUNDAMENTALS meant to keep human spirit broken. Obama is 50% White, but because he has 1 drop of black in him, he is black. that kind of racism is dangerous because it is subconcious. He is half and half so why not say bi-racial, because it is more true. All you so called Christians act like the world will come to an end if he has a chance at trying. God is for Obama as well as MCCAin. You all make me SICK.

The View isn’t a “News” show. It’s an entertainment show. Walters was rude to McCain. She would have been falling all over Obama if he was the guest. Be fair to all that go on your show not a select few.

As part Native-American, I will remind Whoopi that it was Republicans that made you and your people free. It was a Democrat demagogue that removed thousands of American Indians beyond the Mississippi River, many of them in harsh winter conditions, stole their heritage and land. She evidently doesn’t know anything about the Constitution. She is an idiot along with the rest of those indecent people.

THE VIEW is the sounding board of BARBARA WALTERS–that’s all. Any opinion/view/etc is solely her’s and approved by her–i’m sure of that. I did not nor will i ever watch the show—evidently the Walters cohorts bashed the McCains and anything they stand for. Barbara got her way and free PR for her show. She is very slick and deceitful, don’t you think?? unfortunately stay-at-home Americans/unemployed people/disabled people/senior citizens have kept this show on the air, mainly to watch the drama unfold during the controversial happenings on the show( all which are repeated on all the evening news shows). MY FELLOW AMERICANS–PLEASE GET OUT YOUR NEWSPAPERS/GET ON THE INTERNET/WATCH A RESPECTABLE NEWS SHOW OF YOUR CHOICE AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHICH CANDIDATE OFFERS THE SAME MORALS/ETHICS/POLITICAL STAND THAT YOU BELIEVE IN. WHEN YOU HAVE DECIDED WHICH CANDIDATE COMES CLOSEST TO ALL YOUR HOPES, THEN DECIDE WHO TO VOTE FOR, AND GO OUT AND VOTE FOR THAT CANDIDATE. AS FOR ME, I’LL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN/PALIN IN ’08!!!

Anyone who would think having our Constitution enforced being grounds for re-introducing slavery, needs a straight jacket. Is Whoopi crazy? What in the Constitution of the United States of America would cause her to think our Supreme Court Justices would try to force her into slavery? The idiocy of that remark is exactly why liberal media insults the intelligence of normal people that want America to mean something again instead of being a laughing-stock. Talk about the real reasons why congress’ rating is at 9% – because of idiots like this that wouldn’t know morality if they saw it.

Americans should understand this election is significant not only for USA but also for the world If you are focus on the color of the candidates and not on the issues then don’t be expecting any respect from the other democratic countries. This is your chance. People worldwide are watching. GOOD LUCK

I don not watch “the View” nor do I support the incomes of the immoral hollywood elite by watching their movies.
By reading these comments though, I will say that Whoopi is a slave – a slave to sin – and that is by her own choice. And if the democrats had their way, physical slavery would become a way of life for more people as so many people are already enslaved to the government now with their fixed “income” broke welfare mentality.
I find it amusing that these immoral actors take the hard earned money of the common people and then try to make themselves out as victims.
If you love the poor so much why not give your money away to help them. Sell one or two of your multi-million dollar homes or opulent cars and live like everyone elso does. That is what you are trying to make people think you want to do. Why don’t you Live on 30,000 a year and give the rest away! Or do you really believe like the republicans that if you work hard and earn something it is yours to do with as you please, not something to be forcibly taken because someone else was lazy!

My question to Whoopi is “Have you been a slave before”? andf to Joy why don’t you run a country, I worked for the Govnt for over 30 years until i retired medically in 2003, while in office Clinton had to chance to stop the Brac from closing Charleston Naval shipyard but didnt we were the only public shipyard (Govnt.) on the east with a nuclear good standing but they clsoed us and the navasl base . what did the Dems do for 8,000 federal workers and contractors
?

There have been an awful lot of liberal comments made on this site. I am wondering, How many of you are really those who watch Fox or their sites, and how many of you are Obama campaigners infesting this site with your vapid vaccuous opinions? The one girl ranted against MCCain and ended up in a We didn’t go to the Moon conspiracy theory. One guy is a Foreigner from Australia and mr Hawk should be on MSNBC with the rest of the lunatics.

As for the healthcare Statements here, I must say that in Australia, it is much like in the US. There are some that like the way it works and many that don’t. My entire extended family lives in Australia, in several different areas. Not one of them cares for the healthcare system there. It isn’t all it jacked up to be. Often times it is very difficult for our cousins to work appointments in, in a timely manner and with work, that makes scheduling even more difficult. Universal healthcare really has is downs and before America tries delving into it, I would highly suggest much more investigating and research. Individual choice is so much better, so that people can have their own preferred doctors and the freedom to choose their route for healthcare and do it all in a timely manner with freedom of choice. Pro-choice works in more ways than just abortion. People need to be free to make ALL of their own personal choices related to every aspect of their life. We are big boys and girls and don’t need to government telling us how to do everything. Before you support this universal healthcare….REALLY do your homework. Here is just a sample from a recent article.
“For example, a typical Canadian seeking surgical or other therapeutic treatment had to wait 18.3 weeks in 2007 — an all-time high. Approximately 875,000 Canadians are currently on waiting lists for medical treatment.
Many Canadians can’t even get routine care. Of those who sought routine or ongoing care in 2005, one in six had trouble even getting into a doctor’s office for a routine procedure or check-up.
It’s no better across the Atlantic. The average wait time for bypass surgery in New York is 17 days — compared to 72 days in the Netherlands and 59 days in Sweden.
Patients with serious illnesses such as cancer face much longer odds of survival in government-run health care systems. In the United Kingdom, the five-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with breast cancer early on is 78 percent — compared to 98 percent for similar patients in the U.S.”

ANYONE THAT WATCHES THE VIEW IS EITHER AN IDIOT OR LIKE TO SEE HOLLYWOOD MAKE THEM SELVES LOOK COMPLETELY FOOLISH. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS RICH OR FAMOUS DOESN’T MEAN THEY HAVE THE INSIGHT ON TELLING AMERICA HOW TO VOTE. SO….HOLLYWOOD SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES AND GO BACK TO YOUR PERVERTED AND SELFISH LIVES.

For all the people bashing our republican president, here is a history fact. We have 3 branches of govt.and 1 of the others is run by the democrats. let’s see when did we start to go in the tank? Might it be 2 yrs.ago! Things should really improve when we add a democrat to the to the white house. NOT!!!

The View, like Oprah, is a totally useless show and a complete waste of electrons. The opinions of the ‘ladies’ (I use the term loosely) are representative only of east coast left wing liberal elitists (read: out of touch). Why any normal, intelligent, thinking person would voluntarily watch that crap is beyond me. Whoops. Maybe I just answered my own question…

Regardless of how you feel about the candidates , they are running for the highest office in the land and for that reason alone should be shown respect. I also watched the View only because John McCain was going to be on. I stopped watching with any regularity when Rosie was on. Whoppee is condescending, Joy is ignorant, Barbara needs to retire gracefully and Sherri is still trying to figure out the shape of the earth, Elizabeth needs to find better company. An endorsement by Hollywood is the kiss of death. Celebrities can’t manage their own lives why would any intelligent person follow their advice on what is good for our country.We need a leader who will make our country stronger . We need to address immigration-set quotas on immigrants and get rid of illegals.Limit visas- our jobs aren’t going overseas ,people are coming here to take them from us,i.e. India. Immigrants pay no taxes for 7 years-CHANGE THAT!.Set limits for entitlements. I’m willing to help my fellow man but I don’t want to support him for life.Set term limits for our politicians .The most Senor members are also the most senile. Finally WE need to change how we feel and think about our country We need to be proud and to show it.We need to be grateful for our many freedoms and not take them for granted.We need to wake up every morning and thank God for giving us another day. How many people said a prayer to God on 9-11-01 to keep us safe? We need to have God in our lives on the good and bad days.We lost part of ourselves when we took Him out of our daily lives

I saw how Whoopi rolled her eyes(like oh, my god) and her statement was apaulling. America or myself don’t owe her or anyone else for that matter anything. You work and live within your means and make a life for yourself.
So give it a rest Whoopi, the racist comments you made were unacceptable.
As for the view, they are aweful.

If we take a look at the target audience shows like “The View” and “Oprah” we would find a common denominator; jobless. The hypocrisy in both of these comedy routines is that their platform is to support the progression of women, and yet, they refuse to recognize what Palin has accomplished as a working mother or that Mrs. McCain is a very successful business woman. When is Keith Olbermann going to make his debut on “The View”?

Always a “view” of the annoying-est bunch of bimbos on a coach. I can’t stomach watching them for even one show.

Yea! Whoopy when haave you been a slave, be thankful that you are doing what you are doing, you could beliving in proverty like a lot of other folks, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. McCain is his own person and he doesn’t agree with everything that Bush does, and he will change the country for the better. Palin is very good and is ready for VP.

I don’t need a source for Memphis/New Orleans…I LIVED it sir until I finally got smart enough to get out and move to a prospering (non-Democrat) city. As for my source for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac…just Google the name Byron York and Fannie Mae and you should be able to find his article from 2006 (well before the collapse) and his recent article naming names (mostly Democrat).

And ys the comment from Whoopi in reference to becoming a slave was way out of line and took away any crediability she had…if she ever had any.

I watched “The View” for the first time when I heard John McCain was going to be the guest. I am appalled at what I saw. I’ve never seen a more rude bunch in my life!! These are ladies that I have always admired and respected but that just went down the toilet. I will never, EVER watch that show again. I am simply amazed at how ignorant these people are!! The little blonde that sat on the end (I dont’ know her name) was the only one that appeared to have any intelligence whatsoever! I would never lower myself to go on such a show with such vile females!

I was shocked and appalled by the partisan liberal attacks on Senator McCain by the women on the View. I never watch The View because of these insanely liberal-out-of-touch-with-reality-women but in support of this fine candidate, I watched and cringed with embarrassment at the ignorance of these women. How embarrassing for women everywhere to have these self-proclaimed female representatives be so disrespectful to ANY candidate who is willing to put himself out there for the good of our country. Their condescending attitudes, spoken as though they spoke for women everywhere, made them look as stupid as we all believed them to be! I’m part of the silent majority and I guess you can say, with Palin on the ticket, we’ve been given a voice and we’re excited to vote for McCain. I’m a 40-somthing married mom with a corporate job and various scholarly degrees and honors. I’d really appreciate it if former feminist Hillary die-hards would stop calling people like me stupid. I’ve studied the facts, I’ve turned off the networks, read The Federalist Papers (it’s not a newspaper, it’s from the framers of the Constitution!) and I’ve put a lid on the kool-aid pitcher. I’m tired of paying out my hard-earned money to those who aren’t willing to work for their own! Obama cannot protect us from anti-American terrorists, McCain can! End of story. At least I have a reason to vote for my candidates for real reasons and not just because: “he’s a great speaker” My question is do you want a president who can speak? Then hire a Shakespearean Actor! I for one want a President who can lead and not one who can only speak when he’s been given time to rehearse his speech that someone else wrote for him!

I personally do not watch the View anymore. The ‘ladies’ do not say anything worth listening to. The only one on the view with any good sense is Elisabeth and I don’t know how she stands to sit with other 3 daily. I think people need to look deeper into the Obama thing and really see who he is before he gets elected. Read his books!!! Study his past… These ladies are worse then vultures, they need to show some respect for both sides or they’re going to lose more viewers.

Keating 5
need we say anymore? google it and learn about your “honest” candidate and his harpy wife!

D. Hawk: Well I guess since you seem to exhibit hubris over your constitutional knowlege, then surely you MUST agree with the rest of us little people who think that Whoopi has no freaking idea what she is talking about in regards to slavery then, does she?

John McCain and Sarah Palin want to be elected like Republicans but they are trying to avoid to discuss issues critical for the American families. And portraying themselves like reformers because they are embarrassed of the last 8 years of the Republicans –Bush Administration.
Is the Republican Party in the need of urgent reform because is out of touch with the everyday life of the American people.
Americans want answers to they problems they want better healthcare they want better pay they don’t want just change because that sounds good on election time, they want change from the Bush policies.
This election is not only about some bridge in Alaska it is about all the bridges and roads in all of United States because they are all crying out for repairs and maintenance. This is because for the last 8 years the Bush and the Republicans have spent enormous amounts to build up Iraq and they have forgotten about the needs of their own country. Libraries and schools should offer all the choices of books and facilities to give to our kids the tools not only to build a better future for them but also for this country.
John McCain and Sarah Palin promise of change: Is a change to Nowhere.
Nowhere near to help the American people with a real economic change
Nowhere near to bring troops home safely.
Nowhere near to build America’s independence from oil.
Nowhere near to help the 95% of the American families.
Nowhere near to help the entrepreneurs and working families to keep jobs in America.
Nowhere near to provide the medical care reform for the American people and the Veterans who they are not fought for the red and blue states of the electoral map
They fought against the terror and to keep America on the map.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden probably don’t have all the answers to the problems of the America’s working families or farmers or the people under the fear of loosing their homes. Because of the failing economic policies of the Bush administration.
But they are ready to answer to the Americans for their policies and take responsibility for their decisions if they are elected to the White House
Barack Obama is ready not only to lead Americans back to the American dream but also to be sure his family and your families and daughters and sons are part of this dream A former Naval Academy midshipman who was imprisoned alongside John McCain is the narrator of a new television ad that bashes the Republican candidate by saying being a prisoner of war is not a good prerequisite for being president
He is right to be a ex POW qualified you like a great American <BUT IS NOT WHAT MAKE YOU A PRESIDENT

The one thing I remember clearly from my military experience is that when captured. Give your name, rank & serial number, also make every effort to escape.

I can’t believe anyone is even bored enough to watch this show. Anyone with any intellect knows they offer nothing productive or representative of the common american.

His aged and ambitious
She is young and motivated.
For him is the last chance to be President
For her is the biggest opportunity to be his cheerleader.
Her story SPIN LIES and LIPSTICK

I am again reminded the View is only for entertainment and should be taken with a grain of salt. Elizabeth Hasselback is the only one who gets my respect!

Its about time someone actually ask the questions that needed to be asked. Since Mccains group is hiding Palin, we need some of these questions answered. Sorry Republicans, American wants to know what is going on. We just don’t believe what the “spin” doctors tell us.

I actually found the “View” appearance quite hysterical. In fact I laughed so hard, I watched it again. It’s about time someone asks McCain the tough questions, and keeps asking them until he answers them truthfully. The same goes for Obama. Now on to Ms. McCain, never, ever, ever, bite the hand that feeds you. No one forced you and your husband to appear on the show. So dont complain about your appearance there. He is running for President of the United States, he’s going to get picked apart with any interview he agrees to, since he agrees to so few. I agree that the Whoopie comment was rather unnecessary, and yeah they fight and yell over each other to get heard, but that’s what makes it fun! They made politics fun! Hell the did the impossible and made watching John McCain speak, fun!

I am still trying to figure out where the other 7 states are? Obama said he has “been to almost all 57 states” in his campaign. Oh well. Look – we make mistakes (Reps) and they make mistakes (Dems).
We want less government and they want more government. You can have these pissing contests until the cows come home. The bottom line is – Is Obama experienced? No Is McCain experienced? Yes. Bottom line. Is Gov. Palin ready to be President in the event of McCain dying in office? Well, was Gov.Carter ready? Gov.Reagan? Gov. Roosevelt? Gov. Clinton? They were Governors but they ran for the top spot. Who’s to say who’s ready? If they are smart – they have “people” who are smarter than they are and know government whom they surround themselves with. But Palin isn’t running for President and McCain looks pretty healthy, so what’s all the fuss?
Democrats want big government, lots of give-a-ways and socialism is their core.
Republicans want less government, people responsible for themselves and capitalism is their core.
It’s a mindset, an ideology. And you can argue til doomsday and you won’t change minds that are made up. Now, there’s the operative phrase. It’s the minds that are not made up that will make all the difference. And those people are not reading these blogs. They are studying these two men’s records, seeing how they have performed in the past and how they are performing in this campaign. They are listening to their messages and deciding what is best for this country in their view. They will watch the debates intensely. The electoral college is the decider – not you and me. I doubt that a lot of the young people who are voting for Obama can tell you why. They don’t study politics. Most just “vote from emotion”, vote like their friends”, “vote like their parents” or “vote opposite their parents”. They wwant “Change” Well, what the hell is that. Both candidates can change this government. McCain has been trying to change Washington for 26 years. Now he can have the power to do it. More of the same would be Obama in the White House with more of the same Democratic Congress who have done nothing but sit on their hands for 2 years. They can’t make a decision unless it’s to raise their own salaries or take a vacation. You must be a student of government – and I mean study it – before you even THINK of walking into a voting booth. And if you can’t tell me right now -without looking it up – who the Secretary of State is, who the Speaker of the House is and who the Secretary of Defense is – currently – then please – do us all a favor – and do not vote for anyone this year – stay home – because you are not at all informed.

To Nancy who points out us people (conservatives)of always attacking the “other” side. Have you noticed you people on your side? Or are you just like most all lib’s..narrow minded! Just like many others on blogs like this one you point out our faults since you and your side are soooo perfect. Obama said he was going to run a different campaign. Well I guess he is….since he doesn’t run negative ads, fuel hate, provide incomplete or false information. NOT!! He is the man for change. NO thanks! Maybe peace, good thought and actions for our country and the best interest of all us people should start at your level.
Are you up to it?

Why would anyone really take the crew that make up “The View” seriously? They are just a bunch of squawking hens all talking at the same time. I would be interested in hearing about the story of Whoopi Goldberg having been a slave. I did not know she was that old!

Well said Kat! Don’t get frustrated by these people
they only know how to bash the other side.
Certainly no real argument on any any of these liberal posts regarding details of Obama’s plan: Socialism

The stupidity demonstrated on “The View” has got to be for the ratings. The same ratings that made Jerry Springer so popular.

It’s been interesting conversating but my life demands more than sitting at the computer so I’m signing off.
All I can say is to reiterate what someone else already said, research both candidates thoroughly to the point that you can tell a stranger “why” in detail (no I don’t know answers) you are voting for so-and-so in your “own” words, not just some slogan that’s been beaten into your head for months. If you can do that already I applaud you.
Best of luck to both sides and to our country!

The show should be call only “My View”. It shows the desparation of journalist and ABC after Obama has spent over 300 million to get Obama elected and is still losing.

Thank God McCain/Palin will be in the Whitehouse come January and not that socialist,racist,uninformed Obama.

The “View” has become the “Vicious”.

Deperation is a smelly cologne! Now that the influenced understand that their candidate for president is almost as qualified as the GOP vice presidential candidate, they are taking the last gasps before they go away for another four years!

For the life of me I don’t understand why Elisebeth stays with those female on the view, it reminds me of Lady and the Tramps. She surely isn’t one of them and she swims as fast as she can to keep away. Hollywood thinks they will chose our President, not little ole child totin housewify America, or the man who mows the lawn and takes out the garbage.~~it’s up to hollywood – those who can pay $25,500 for a plate of dinner.

I am so sick of these hollywood liberals and their constant bashing of morals and values. In response to this interview I do not believe Woopi Goldberg has ever been a slave and to make such a remark is racist and a slap in the face of all who defend the constitution. I challenge her to read it. As for Joy she is just a leftwing liberal who hates men and just likes to whine and complain about anything. I do not watch much ABC because they support programming like this so I choose to spend my time on channels that provide good family entertainment not shows that breed animosity hate and disdain.

Barbara–who cares how many homes they have. i prefer a successful president.

V: Vile
I: Ignorant
E: Evil
W: Women
That was almost too easy.

Why is Joy on the show anyway!??
Barbara, Whoopie is was beyond disgraceful the way they behaved. And they are older women who are suppose to have class, wisdom and be an example. Disgusting. I’ll never watch them again.

Those on The View are dumber than dirt! Whoopi is a slave to her own stupidity. How dare she call a U.S. Senator and war hero “Jay Mac”. She isn’t cool – she’s dumb. The whole lot needs to just go away. What a trite group of women constantly talking over each other. I don’t watch it (couldn’t pay me to waste my time), but have seen many clips that always disgust me. The Hollywood elitists need to shut up about politics – that’s not what we pay them to do.

Looking for a liar??? How about Biden. Plagiarism is lying!! What a pick for VP and you want us to trust OB’s judgement.

you want fair and balanced start your own media source. If you’re like me take everything with a grain of salt. If you want to ban the media then your patriotism is questionable! Russia called their looking for a few good Rebuplican women!

The View is a program hosted by irrelevant NY regional or otherwise washed-up celebs, whose purpose appears to be to introduce the Jerry Springer audience to politics. It is necessary that they ask “leading” questions so that their audience can follow along and understand the answer prior to the response. I don’t know any hard-working or educated people (the people who really keep the country going) who would ever waste their time tuning in.

Republicans lie constantly. To the people, the press, and to themselves. You can see it on this blog.
Unfortunately, all political campaigns distort the facts somewhat, but the Republicans seem to have no shame or honesty about it at all.

Jean:
Abortion is murder, plain and simple!

I am a registered Democrat voting for McCain and Palin. I stopped voting Democrat after 911. The Liberal politicians think only of power and using the poor to get votes, not about the security of our country. We are headed for socialism with Obama.

Amazing the view tells the truth and John Mccain doesn’t. I guess some people can’t handle the truth.

It is so sad that Barbara Walters has taken a lifetime of struggle to be a respected journalist and thrown it all away with this “show.”

AS for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. AND never ever turn on ABC again!

I have read most of these and realize the passion of the parties for a president….hatefulness trying to be ignored. I hope that you approach the legislative elections with the same enthusiasm. The Dems were going to change everything and where are we now. Maybe you should study government to understand the president does not hold the power in this country…if he vetoes something, the legislative body can over turn it…trouble is..they either aren’t there or they vote PRESENT. The President sets and agenda and its congress that should uphold it or discard with…with vigor for the will of the people. Presidents are in office 8 years at best….legislators can be there for life if we, the American people, decide we’re just too busy or too tired to care. Walter Kronkite, a very respected jouralist (do we have any of those any more?)upon his retirement mandated the people to arm themselves with every piece of information from every corner they could and not depend on one person, one 2 minutes blur and now blog to be the fair, just, researched, educated, unslanted “truth” (better known as agenda) that we put our trust in. We get what we vote or more like “do NOT vote” for and then we go back to our usual complacency until our toes are stepped on or we’re made uncomfortable in our personal zone….shame on us all; many have died from the beginning of our conception to this very moment and we don’t even consider the sacrifice; we only consider if it hurts our feelings or wallet etc, etc, etc. I grew up in a Normon Rockwell world and I wish it were still here…love of country, love of neighbor, love of spouse, love of children, love of community and yes “love” of God. Find the truth because is it out there, but not from these blogs or one channel on the TV; do your home work or fail. It is not the President or congress or the Supreme court that fails us….we FAIL ourselves.

The VIEW is a joke. Joy and Barbara were rude and uninformed. All one would have to do is watch the love fest these two had with Michelle Obama. Soft ball after softball to Michelle and Barack while they cannot even give Cindy and John common courtesy. They quote the Huffington Post, need I say more? Barbara is so out of touch that she thinks planes do not depreciate and cost nothing to maintain or store. Clueless, just consider the source!

I just can’t see how acting like Marie Antoinette is going to help Cindy McCain. Would be better to leave her at one of the nine homes they own and out of the race.

Patricia said it as well as it can be said. Barbara Walters has taken herself to a new time low. I feel sorry for what she has become.
I can have a more intelligent conversation with strangers at Starbucks.

I saw how they treated the McCains and they should be ashamed. It it was Obama, he’d get treated like a star and never grilled or was treated as badly as McCain.

It is not about asking a direct or straight foward question and expecting an answer, it is about the way they rolled thier eyes or turned away as he spoke. They have the right to disagree with Macain’s view point, but the disrepect they showed for a man who fought for thier freedom and has 50% of this country saying he is worth listening to was totaly unprofessional and very rude. If you don’t like what happened call the companies who sponcer such a show and complain. It all comes down to $, if you quit buying the products from such companies trust me they will pull support from the show. No

And though I disagree with McCain’s views and policies, I do agree that the people of The View treated him with disrespect and should be ashamed. They can ask the hard-hitting questions or disagree all the want, but if you’re going to have a guest on your show, show the respect and courtesy they deserve.

They attacked the World Trade Center the first time and we did not respond, they attacked the USS Cole and we did not respond, they attacked our embassy and we did not respond. The President at the time was? The attacks of 9/11 were not just planned from the time Bush took office until Sept. Those plans were years in the making and made more possible by our history of not responing.

Hey Gus. Do you know why McCain can’t e-mail?

After reading these comments I am worried about the intelligence of this country. Maybe if you people had a life and didn’t sit around watching the View, you would know more about what is going on in the world. Who cares what you think about the hosts or the way they supposedly treated the McCains? Worry about what is happening to this country and put some intelligence in your comments instead of attacking Barbara Walters and crew.
McCain needs to be put on the hot seat because of all the lies he is telling. Obama, Biden, Hillary all have been brutally attacked so why should we treat McCain and Palin any different? They owe it to the country to start talking about what they are going to do to get us out of the mess that their party has created and they need to supply some honest answers.
Most of you are afraid of Obama because he is intelligent and knows what he is doing, even if you don’t agree with him.
All of you probably sit in your little homes, watching television all day and while not being able to afford gas and food, while the fat cat Republicans are getting richer and richer. Has the trickling down effect worked for you? By the way what was the profits for the oil companies this quarter? How much money do we owe China? How much money has Haliburton made? Why are we in Iraq?
Maybe you should all think about the last eight years instead of defending McCain by attacking Obama. Your hatred for the opposition gives you little time to question your own doubts about McCain/Palin.
To quote Jon Stewart- You think your party is the only party to clean up the mess your party has made in the last eight years.
I can’t wait for the debates but it probably won’t matter because most people can’t comprehend anything beyond a sound bite.

is anyone surprised at the way McCain was treated on the View? I’m sick and tired of Hollywood (just because they’re glitter, and all that fancy crap,they think they represent manistream America, the folks who really make the decisions. Obama can only carry Cal and NY and recieve approx 30% of the Electoral College votes needed to win; guess what all you brilliant Liberal minds? All of you in Cal and NY do not speak for us in the rest of the country; why should we all believe the way you do?

funny how mccain and palin cant answer questions and say is the person asking its fault.. give me a break . obama 08 no doubt

I saw the interview on line. Not that I thought they would reply, but this was my response to the View:
Whoopi’s comment about being concerned that she would go back to being a slave was uncalled for and frankly ridiculous. What a pathetic attempt to make McCain look bad. She made herself look like a fool. First of all, she needs to get over herself because last time I checked, she wasn’t a slave…unless you count The Color Purple. I have enjoyed watching Whoopi for many years, but today – I could have done without seeing her on the panel. All of you – with the exception of Elisabeth seem to get a thrill out of drilling McCain, but when Obama is on the show you treat him like the god you don’t believe in. This nation and the world for that matter were created by God. He will have the last word. None of you can say that noone ever told you about Him. Why is it people in Hollywood think they are their own god? It’s as if you created yourself. God gives you the right to choose – whether it is religion or the right to kill an unborn child. God gave us all a free will.
Before someone labels me as a racist, let me just say this.. My husband is black, my two children are bi-racial and my granddaughter is several shades darker than Whoopi. She is a beautiful baby girl who I adore just as much as my own children. There were people who told me I shouldn’t have children because they would be discriminated against. I may not know the direct personal pain that my husband or children may feel, but let me tell you, I feel the pain in my heart when I think of my children and grandchildren (or anyone) ever being discriminated against because of their skin color. I feel enraged and sick inside. But too often people carry the slavery and discrimination cross on their backs and keep themselves in their own slavery. I have taught my children to NEVER fall back on racism “this happened to me because……”, “this person doesn’t like me because….”, “I didn’t get the job because…..” Sometimes in life things just “happen”. People have to stop relying on an excuse of why things did or didn’t happen to them. Get up, brush themselves off, hold their head high, and move on!
As for McCain’s interview…the ladies had nothing but fangs and claws showing.
As for Obama’s interview…it was nothing but a feel good love fest.

The last election so called “main stream america” thought they would win but they were sadly mistaken. Whoopi was squirming in her seat every time the audiance applauded. Barbara is loosing her touch with questioning and has been for awhile. Sherri is like “daaaaaaa”because she is for who she is with and Joy your not even funny or lady like. Elizabeth, God bless you get away from the forces around you.

I will never watch the view again. Rude, rude, rude.

You people are so afraid of Obama taking over? How do you think I feel about McCain and Palin having their finger on the trigger of a massive nuclear arsenal? Two pro-war unstables in charge of the free world? Palin is to the right of George Bush when it comes to war.
All you haters point out that Obama associates himself with doubtful people, but are you familiar with the Keating Five? Have you heard about Saint Cindy’s drug addiction and the doctor that lost his license because of it? Google it if you don’t believe me.
My daughter’s high school election was run with more integrity than McCain is showing.

I used to be a Democrat then I was informed of “media bias”. As an honest hard working and ignorant American I thought that was impossible. The press was there to make sure we were kept informed…afterall, we were a free country and information wasn’t ‘censored’. I educated myself and found out that it really WAS true…I became an Independent. Then I educated continued to educate myself on what it meant to be a Democrat vs. a Republican which was easy because now I sat between the two parties with an open mind. The more I learned the more I was saddened by just how the Democratic party had changed. I saw a party of mean spirited hypocrites that no longer TRULY represented the hard working people of America. I see a party that is happy to be pumped up and pulled around by the Hollywood Elite. I don’t watch The View as I believe it degrades women and reflects all of us in the light of catty women intent on demeaning anyone that doesn’t agree with our point of view. I continue to see liberal Democrats scratching about to do things such as embarrass a young pregnant woman or poke fun at an American hero who can’t use e-mail because of a disability born of torture while serving the country he loves. I’m also getting disgusted with the liberal left and the hatred they spew continually. I’ve made up my mind…I’ll check McCain and Palin when I vote. They pushed me in that direction and I’m sure they’ll push a lot more DECENT America loving citizens to vote that way before this is over.

Dear Karen what I see is a Party who took with false information a country to a stupid war .A Party responsible with the destruction of Iraq and the death of Iraqi civilians and Thousand of brave Americans dead and injured. The Republican Party is to blame time for you to face the reality

The View like most of the Hollywood crowd think they are significant when in all actuality they are merely temporary irritations and meaningless in the overall scheme of things. They are so far removed from reality that they are pathetic and the most amusing part is that they think we care about what they say.

to be a ex POW qualified you like a great American BUT IS NOT WHAT MAKE YOU A PRESIDENT

Is hilarious to watch the face of Cindy McCain, when Senator McCain on his speech talks about the big salaries of the CEO’s, and how greedy they are?

Wow, you people must be living in a totally different universe than I do. Obama has integrity? Do you know what the word means? He’s flipped on everything! Even when he ran as an Illinois senator promising to work for the poor blacks of his constituency, and what happens? He partys with the slumlord that has the utilities turned off in his tenements in the middle of a cold ass Chicago winter freezing his black tenants butts off. Do you know any slumlords that are in prison for several felonies? Would you hang out with one? If you do, you’d probably vote for Obama.
He hangs out with crooks and terrorists and does absolutely nothing for the people. And as far as lies go: ummm, Rezko, oh he raised only $5000 for me. Oh, ok, so it was nearer $50,000. uh, well yes, maybe $150,000. Oh, it could be 250,000. Alright, I’m bad with the zeros thing: it’s $500,000 +.
Um, the guy, what’s his name who is the terrorist, that regrets he didn’t set more bombs (well, he didn’t kill enough people, did he, even fewer than his wife’s apparent idol, Charles Manson) Obama hardly knows him. Oh, alright he was on a committee or two with him for several years. Um, ok, like Rezko, he knew Ayres for two decades, Like Wright, it’s hardly enough time to get to know him. Know any unrepentant domestic terrorists? If you do, you probably would vote for Obama.
And as far as his attitude about abortion goes. How can anyone, much less a Catholic or Christian vote for someone who not only is a proponent of late term abortions, but without any equivocation (though it’s one of his latest expedient flips) stated that a baby born alive who escaped death from the abortionist’s knife should NOT be allowed medical attention. This not only goes against any physician’s oath, but it’s essentially, infanticide. He voted against this TWICE. Not even Naral agreed to this sacrilegious hideousness. And when the identical legislation appeared in the US Senate (before Obama’s divinity graced the place) it was passed 98-0. But if letting a crying baby die without remorse is your thing, (or as Obama was, according to the nurse who presented photos of the crime at the Illinois senate hearings “Obama was unfazed”) well, you know who you are probably going to vote for.
Obama is not only a compulsive liar, he is nothing but a lie, and you idiots are willing to buy the shallow celebrity. You’re willing to vote for a guy who doesn’t have the INTEGRITY or the fortitude to even give up something relatively easy, like smoking, even to this day, against a guy who has more guts and dignity, and strength in his little finger than Obama could even imagine having in his entire person.
A possible crack-head in the white house (see: Larry Sinclair ) And his opponent is a natural born hero with the capacity to deal with the all so clear upcoming nation’s problems, without the vacillation and lack of integrity so apparent in this ridiculous, inexperienced lying cutesy guy. But we tend to like who we are most like, and if this is your ideal notion of yourself, then you’ll probably vote for Barack Hussein Obama.
Pathetic! Alexis de Tocqueville LAUGHS in his grave! The nation’s founding fathers SCREAM with horror!

I watched The View with Senator McCain and the treatment to McCain was horrible. Barbara Walters could not even look McCain in the eye. She looked down at the floor with a disguisted frown on her face. Joy reminds me of the character in the movie, The Way We Were, it is offensive to half the women in this country. Let me ask ABC this don’t you think the right has tv sets and they watch daytime tv? Report fair and balanced like FOX. I will never watch Barabra again or any interview nor will a lot of other women. She is a disappointment, failure and quite rude.

scary thing is, the same stupid people who voted for bush twice will vote for mccain/palin! we live in a country that would rather watch american idol than front line and will buy anything with a flag wrapped around it; be it a beach umbrella or a president! there is no hope! we live in a nation of idiots!

oh Whoopi, Whoopi, sounds like the Dems feel threatened, so as usual when someone like Whoopi feels that way they pull out the race card, hey Whoopi that doesn’t work anymore get over yourself, it’s just so sad to see such a bunch of very rude nasty and unprofessional women on TV, what has TV come to. Hey so called ladies the world is not about you or your latest celebrity Obama, you know the one you went ga ga over when you had him on your show, telling him how good looking he is, now there’s a reason to vote for someone. Ladies you looked and sounded like a bunch middle school girls with Obama and sounded like a bunch of miserable old witches with McCain, way to go. So unprofessional

I often watch the view. However after what I watched these women (at their absolute worst) do to The McCain’s especially after Cindy had already been a guest host on the show…was disgusting, childish, high school style bashing from grown women at its worst!!!! TOTALLY SHOCKING HOW UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE THESE WOMEN COULD BE….I WOULD HATE TO BE A GUEST AT THEIR HOME IF THEY COULD BEHAVE THIS WAY WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT OR CARE IN FRONT OF A NATIONAL TELEVISION AUDIENCE. YOU ALL OWE THE MCCAIN’S YOUR DEEPEST AND MOST SINCEREST APOLOGY FOR THE HORRIBLE WAY YOU TREATED THEM!!!

Whoopi Goldberg owes McCain an apology. Her remarks on slavery were racist, unjustified and totally uncalled for. I’m tired of celebrities who think they are experts on politics just because they are famous. It really shows how stupid they are. If they lived in the real world, their views might be different. Sure they don’t want McCain to win because they’re afraid that they might have to give up more of their precious money.

Looks like the interview back-fired on them. I don’t think they got the results they set out to get.

For Educated in America
What I see time and again from Obama supporters is how they say McCain lies. However, they never expound on that and list all the lies McCain has supposedly told. Meanwhile, people are consistently able to come up with specifics about what they don’t like about Obama.
McCain can handle being in the hot seat. I don’t think BO could stand up to the same type of scrutiny without coming off looking evasive, vague and far less than intelligent.
And just because BO is an eloquent speaker doesn’t mean he’s intelligent. The man can’t stand his ground without a written speech. That’s why when McCain invited him to a series of 12 Town Hall debates, BO turned McCain down saying, “That ain’t my thing.”
Huh? What sort of true leader runs away from an opponent? What’s he afraid of – everyone seeing how much he really doesn’t know?

I don’t watch the view and from reading everyone’s comments, thank God I didn’t. These women are disgusting and disgraceful to say the least. If you don’t agree with their point of view, then they are gonna eat you alive, forget being civilized, they don’t know the meaning of the word. I support McCain/Palin and am proud to say so. I will also do a search and sign the petition to boycott the view, I hope this show goes off the air. You reap what you sow!

The women on The View could take a few lessons from Cindy McCain. She is gracious and poised; a true lady. She is the type of role model I want representing my gender…not a bunch of egotistical, loud-mouthed, rude, uninformed, closed-minded people. I won’t even call them women because they don’t deserve it. They’re disgusting and shallow.
When interviewing their obvious choise, Obama; all they could do was comment on how handsome he was. Let’s get to the issues. A pretty face never won wars, balanced the budget or improved healthcare. I guess they wouldn’t say the same to McCain because of his scars from skin cancer…shallow. And Barbara, who cares how many houses the McCains have. How many do you have. How big is yours. How much did it cost you?

What does anyone care what those old hags have to say regarding anyone? Most of the time they’re most interested in ripping one another apart publically so why not take on a guest? I think that show should just be pulled all together. Does America really enjoy a daily shot of bitterness or what? I know I don’t and I am getting sick of hearing about all of them and their rantings.

I’m disgusted with THE VIEW! I hope it gets taken off the air. Shame on Joy, and Whoopie but most of all shame on Bow Wow Walters. What DOGS!
They just gave me the incentive to donate AGAIN to the McCain campaign. I did so this morning!

Larry…bravo to you to breaking down the issues to the reality of the positions each man is taking.
Like i said in my earlier post, All Americans need to focus on the issues at hand, not the glitz and glam. Someone below brought up Palin speaking from teleprompters. Well, what do you say now that Obama will be speaking from teleprompters through the rest of the campaign? We focus on the absolutely insideous and don’t grasp the bigger issue. Focusing on a man who doesn’t e-mail makes him dumb? Where is e-mail going to solve the nations problems. Americans have lost their way and are blinded by rhetoric. Our Forefathers are rolling in their graves!

Frist, of all I didn’t see the interview, but I appauld “The View” on something I agree should be address. Those ladies shouldn’t have to sugar coat any questions just because a few people on this blog want to petition the view and by doing so have asked their friends to write negative responses about what they saw on the view. I’m sure McCain & Cindy along with Realty Show wannabee famous Elizabeth ( the view co-host)have asked friends and family to write to make it appear people are offended…..NOT
Oh, by the way as far as how many homes, stop LYING…Obamas has said he has one home….not 7 and what does that have to do with Kerry & Edwards they know how many homes have.
I’m glad those ladies asked the questions because Elizabeth ask hard hitting embrassing questions all the time…..cry babies. Karma is something else…what goes around comes around. Barbara, Whoopie and Joy are finally going after some real issues WE Americans want to know.
The woman who said my husband is black and my kids are bi-racial..blah blah. I don’t believe any of that for one minute, this is just someone who want to try and take a stab at black people. First, of all do you make those same comments when someone is being discriminated against when it’s a gay issue, or a woman…when you can walk in my shoes than you can say how black people should address something…OH!! and by the way IF YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR KIDS ARE BI-RACIAL…don’t make you an expert on how black people. Your right about keeping your head up and not letting anything get in your way, even if the odds are against you and even when YOU KNOW AND HAVE PROOF your being discrimnated against. Do you have a crystal ball that’s telling you it will all go away? I myself have a Irish great grandfather and Black great grandmother and you can tell by my features and I’m very proud of my background dispite the jealousy I experience from both white and black because I’m an attractive caramel woman, but I love all people because we all come from somewhere…I just want America to giving again…what happen all the greedy people just want more and more..what’s hapening to us and what are we allowing to happen to the next generation, so yes, again I agree those woman should ask the questions…why not, it’s not working the way it it now…how soon we forget.
Oh, and by the way, when two or more blacks are promoted to a position within a company it’s known fact that whites have a problem with that…NOT ALL whites but they always complain. So, when black people (as you say) stop addressing fairness, than it means companies are being color blind and just wnat the job done. I truly belive we ca get to that when we stop all this other stuff we bloggin about, including myself….since, this Palin thing everybody is getting pulled into not talking about the issued that AFFECT US.
There’s people writing on this blog right now who won’t accept Barack Obama just because he’s 50% black yet he is also 50% white. We all Know this country has change in 8 yrs, but some of you want to still keep it that way, because of a man’s color…WOW…that’s a shame…oh well if you DON’T want change and your OK with thing staying the same than vote for McCAIN. Just remember the choices you make are the choices WE have to live with.
You may have money and think everything is OK because it’s not effecting you but when the majority of the people don’t have money and need to survive than that puts us all at risk. I don;t want to keep looking over my back when I go in a shopping, or to the bank. desperate people do desperate things and I’m praying GOD will take over and make a change, stay on the subject that matters….CHRISTIANS.
WAKE UP!!! this is not about YOU this election is about the PEOPLE.

Why not rename the show “Closed View”; or in Whoopie’s case “There is Only My View”; or in Barbara’s case “Closed View”. That’s my view.

The ladies on The View should be ashamed of themselves! Whoopi last time I checked you have never been a slave. What a rude and stupid question to ask. And, Barbara Walters you have over stayed your welcome. You are about as relevant as Paris Hilton! For Joy Behar crawl back under the rock you came from under. As far as I concerned this show and The Oprah show could stop airing today and the world would be a better place!

The View is way too liberal even Barbara Walters has become pathetic. They need to even it up. Bring on Laura Ingram and let’s bring on the fight. Whoopi, Joy won’t be able to keep up. Why? Lack of true knowledge. I’m just so tired of their bias. They did not hammer Obama about the Rev., Ayers issues, Rezco which is huge, his Muslim faith, etc… Fair is Fair, but that is not what ABC or the View is all about. The beauty of it all is that I can change the channel and I do!

Illinois Senate Bill 99 (2003) Comprehensive Sexual Education Reform
Obama chaired the committee that produced the Comprehensive Sexual Education Bill. Even the woman who sponsored the bill…Iris Martinez said that it was not a bill about preventing child molestation. Read the bill yourself and you will see that the McCain ad is 100% accurate. A press conference of coaltion groups including Planned Parenthood said that the bill was designed to include medically accurate sex education K-12. Medically accurate includes learning about body parts and intercourse. To see the Guidelines for Sexual Education go to the SIECUS (Council of US) that outlines exactly what a Level 1 (ages 5-8) year old would be taught. Google “SIECUS” to find their website. It is true that children would likely be taught about molestation- It is also true that the SIECUS guidelines allow for much much more including including topics on sexual intercourse. It is true that, as Obama told the Joy on the View, the language would be age appropriate- what Obama DIDN’T say is that age appropriate according to the bill is medically accurate according to research. The language is outlined on the SIECUS website.Again…read the bill yourself and google the website. This is not stranger danger stuff this is full blown birds and bees. Don’t be so willing to believe McCain is a liar unless you see for yourself. The Obama campaign is employing the old deny,deny,deny…but the facts show otherwise. Do the work yourself people!

Sorry I hit the post button twice. I didn’t think that I had seen it up there. MSNBC would not put this info on at all.It is convenient to our own political viewpoints to assume that the other candidate is a liar and therefore one never has to listen. But the reality is that alot of people do listen to both Obama and McCain and watch how each are treated. The media likes to harp on this sex ed in particular as showing McCain lied when in fact if you take the time to do research and read the bill yourself ; google the SIECUS website, you see that it is Obama who is skating around the edge of truth.

The liberal media is pushing me to vote for McCain. The media has no respect for this country. Instead of focusing on the positive, the media is so worried about the negative. My life in the US is good. I eat. I have a place to lay my head every night. I have rights that so many people don’t have.

Oh yeah Whoopie, when were you ever a slave?

After watching the View and seeing first hand how Barbara Walters and Joy Behar badgered the McCains, I decided not to vote for Obama. Also Whoopi’s salve question was just plain stupid. I always thought she had more class than that.
I have also decided not to watch the View or ABC.

Whats the big deal? So they called a liar a liar?
I usually cant stand watching this sorry excuse for a television show, and wont be tuning in anytime soon. I do appreciate it when a pig is called a pig, and the pigs wife trots out and cries about the mean old interviewers.
When is the real pig going to be on the view? I may have to tivo that one.

Great point, “ncmom”.
How about Obama’s association with Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers the two most unamerican people in America?

I am so tired of all the wealth bashing on the McCains. Obama just raked in another 9 million from the Hollywood elite with all of their bloated egos & mega wealth.

McCain and crew want to face down Putin/Ahmadinejad but they can’t face Baba Wawa and Joy Behar? Pulease! If he’s ready to be President he shouldn’t be crying and asking daytime talk show hosts not to ask “tough” questions.

And (when) was Whoopi a slave? Ha Ha
Thank God for McCain!

And you demos arent whinning and saying that if Obama isnt voted in then we are racist, talk about some whinners over there………..
Damn peopl look at each canidate and forget about color and gender, look at the facts:
if you want a socialist pres well vote demo, if you want someone a little conservative and a littl liberal vote republican….

Donna, you told it like it is!!! God bless you! Furthermore, these actors that are trying to influence people to follow their idealogy–how can anyone take advice from people who make their living by playing make believe???

I cannot believe that these women are being bashed for the questions they asked. The should have been praised for having the guts to ask these question face to face. I wonder if the same bashing would occur if the questions were asked by the men of the Sunday morning round tables. McCain camp lied, and he approved…..why shouldn’t he be called out on it. Why shouldn’t any candidate for that matter…..and YES, the same goes for Obama. Wasn’t that the reason for implementing the “I approve this message” They were part of a provision of the new campaign finance law that requires candidates to appear in their own commercials to endorse them, in part to discourage outrageous attack advertisements. This rule was added by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act so that candidates could not engage in negative campaign advertising without the source of the ads being CLEAR. It became law in November 2002…..Its chief sponsor was Senators John McCain. (go figure) In the two ads McCain was questioned about…he was FAR from clear.
The question from Goldberg was not thought to be a strange one, according to Macin (on the show)
McCAIN: My interpretation of the Constitution of the United States is that the United States Supreme Court enforces the Constitution of the United States and does not legislate nor invent areas that are responsibilities, according to the Constitution, of the legislative branch.And I believe that if Roe v. Wade were overturned, then the states would make these decisions
GOLDBERG: Sir.
McCAIN: Yes?
GOLDBERG: Can you just, and I don’t want to misinterpret what you’re saying. Did you say you wanted strict Constitutionalists? Because that, that-
McCAIN: No, I want people who interpret the Constitution of the United States the way our founding fathers envision-
GOLDBERG: Does that-
McCAIN: -for them to do.
GOLDBERG: Should I be worried about being a slave, about being returned to slavery because certain things happened in the Constitution that you had to change.
McCAIN: I, I understand your point.
GOLDBERG: Okay, okay.
McCAIN: I understand that point and I, I, [applause] thank you. That’s an excellent point.
GOLDBERG: Thank you sir.
McCAIN: And I thank you.
**so I guess some don’ty even agree with their own candidate…or hear just what they want

Hey they can ask anything they want but true professionals don’t show their hatred on their faces while conducting the interview.

I wish both “teams” would stop lying and stretching the truth. Tell us the facts. What is your plan for us…the country, the failing health care system, the housing crisis, the out of control energy issues. Stop slinging the mud at each other and tell us the truth in how you plan to help fix the problems affecting us all. And no…the wealthy should not support the poor, we need to educate and assist them to improve their ability to help themselves.

I only came her to read the comments because I was curious to see what the public was thinking about the candidates. I couldn’t understand why McCain was doing so well in the polls when our country is in such dire straights because of the Republican Party.
Now I get it. The average McCain supporter doesn’t really care about the issues. They would rather dissect the View for the way they treated McBush and his fragile wife.
You people have very little to say about what your man has done to help this country and what he is going to do in the future. You are too busy attacking Obama on petty issues.
Like I stressed before, do you want the same old politics that have gotten us into this mess and possibly another war?
Do you even realize that our country is in financial trouble and our military is not strong enough to handle another attack?
Instead of critiquing the View, send a message to your candidate to stop attacking Obama and start giving you hope for the future. He needs to concentrate on what he plans on doing instead of saying Obama is for sex education to kindergarteners. But I guess he knows the intelligence of his demographics, so he plays into it.
I am voting for the man I feel is strong enough, the most intelligent, and cares about the common people and not just the millionaires. I am so excited about my candidate, I don’t want to resort to negative campaigning because that is not what he is about. I think it is evident who started this whole smear campaign.
This whole page is a joke and the McCain supporters should be ashamed that all they can do is bitch about the way their candidate was treated on the View and how they hate the Co-hosts. Wake up people. I don’t watch Fox news for the same reason. You have a whole network that does nothing but kiss McCain’s butt.
The View is not the problem. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and start demanding more of your country. We should not be in this senseless war or the financial situation we are in. Bush and Chaney get to retire with their vast fortunes with not a worry in the world. You and I are left with a broken country and financial problems.
This makes what Barbara Walters says or doesn’t say seem very insignificant in the whole scheme of things, wouldn’t you say?
If you really care about your country you should be building up you candidate and stop attacking the opposition. We as a nation need hope not hatred. Thank you McCain supporters for showing me how you think. I am so sad that I live in a country that is so full of hate and bitterness.

For those of you who are changing your vote because of the interview on “The View” shame on you.What does that have to do with Obama???? You would really change your vote on something this important because of a talk show. SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Educated in America : You are out of touch. This is coming from a life long Dem & Hillary supported who WILL NOT be voting for Obama this year. I’m not going to go through your entire rant and point out what is wrong with what you’re saying but for an “educated” American, you sure do have a lot to learn.

Meena I agree with you 100%. Mccain has no intention of taking care of the middle class, he only cares about his billionaire buddies that his wife Cindy hosts at their garden parties. I also watched Fox News and they are so far up Mccain’s ass they could be his second head. Get real America, WAKE UP! OBAMA ’08!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Barbara, Whoopi, and Jan….you brought it on and the lying republicans couldn’t handle it. It’s time for the republicans to stop sugarcoating the lies and tell the truth. Don’t they know that the truth will set them free and that maybe McCain will become the next president if they, for once, stop with all this lying? But most people in America are not stupid and can see through the deception coming out of McShame’s campaign. As for his supporters, how utterly blind and foolish for them to believe anything that he says. They are so caught up and wrapped up in Palin until they can’t see their own way. She has totally blinded the minds of the foolish supporters of the McShame campaign….staffers included. The devil and his deceptive ways are definitely playing a big big role in the McShame’s campaign. May God have mercy on the USA should McS(h)ame/Palin get elected.

If you a television talk show and you ask someone to come, you show some class no matter how much you may disagree with their views you don’t bring them on to be set up because you want to express your dislike directly to them. The view is overrated and needs to be taken off the air. I really at first didn’t know who i was going to vote for but NOW I know it will be McCain/Palin. I don’t vote for the party, i just don’t believe in that, I vote for the person simply because there are points on both side I agree with. As far as our job losses in the U.S., it started with the signing of NAFTA during the Clinton years, since then I have seen more factory jobs even just my area get sent over seas. If McCain does win I will laugh my butt off at idiots like the morons on the view and other over priced actors and singers because it was the hard working, tax paying Americans that actually make up this country who would have put him in there and they can shut the heck up for at least a couple of more years. For some reason, they think they’re opinon actually matters to us.

Loud and Clear!!!
Subject: Clarity
I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents,
you’re “exotic, different.”
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential
American story.
* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a
maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well rounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while
sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you’re very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America’s.
* If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

Hope you folks get something from what this gentleman said. This is what I am saying, “Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to this country, not to mention that fake ass McCain.”

I have never been impressed with Palin. Let’s finally stop the madness and get Obama in office and start with a clean slate.

Can someone list some of the current major sponsors of The View? I never watch the show anyway so I would like to hit them where it really hurts, in the pocket!
MCCAIN/PALIN!

I use to love the view, but i will never watch it again! how could whoopie even say the word slavery!!!!!!the last time i looked there was a black man running for president. and barbara and joy. they were just terrible. i have lost all respect for these women. i was very undecided in my vote now that hillary isnt running, i like joe biden, but i am going to vote for john mccain now. look at what youve done women. you have swayed votes because of your bias opinions on national tv. i will turn off anything that airs on tv with these women, except for elizabeth, from now on. APOLOGIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR YOU WILL BE LOSING VIEWERS, VIEW

Hey, it would be fine IF all political candidates from all parties were given the same scrutiny on The View. But when Obama & his wife were on the show, they submitted a list of what could be asked of them. Also, the interview was very superficial – even getting into B. Walters saying she thinks Obama is handsome!
It is time to be fair and try to present all sides in a fair way. But the people on the View – make no attempt to do that. They are super, sicky nice to Democrats and are tough on the Republicans. That is not fair. They are pushing their personal views on others in a biased fashion.
I think they have just gone too far this time. I will no longer watch them.

I don’t watch The View and I never listen to celebrities when they talk about politics. After all, at most to their credit is an education in acting, screen performance etc. Same goes for rock n rollers. Wonderful for entertainment but lousy at being a beacon of light. It fascinates me why woman would look to The View for political insight. It just proves that there are a lot of sheeple in America that do not know how to think for themselves. If you want to research candidates to help you decide your vote, I recommend you not use a forum like The View to guide you.

I was an avid watcher of the view. I had it set up on my DVR and would watch it in the evenings if I missed it in the mornings. No more!! The show has been deleted and I will no longer use my 11 am time to watch such a one sided biased group of people, I can turn on CNN for that. The show is called the View for a reason. It should give all sides and show all ‘views’ on any and every subject. I have my own opinion, belief & view, however, I watched the show because they used to be fun to watch and I never felt as though they were shoveling crap down my throat as they are definitely doing now. ABC is being bombarded with emails as they should. You’ve lost not only a dedicated watcher, but my entire family as well.

There are question one should ask of Obama but no one does.
What is wrong with returning to Constitutional government? Our Constitution is being violated in so many ways and the average American doesn’t have a clue. Whoopi will get a real taste of slavery if Obama gets in. He will enslave us all to accomplish his equality for all, the end result will be we will all be equally impoverished.
Go to congress.org to see what Obama has done for this country and what is waiting the wings for a rubber stamp president. The View can have their View but the door swings both ways and one day their vindictive views will be considered hate speech. Cubans thought Castro was going to be their great savior, Germany thought Hitler was the one. Obama is a puppet, do the research to see who is and has been pulling the strings.

I was hoping THE VIEW would be more objective and frankly am disgusted and disappointed with their treatment of the McCain’s. Whoopi, Barbara & Joy acted like bratty, immature little hormone raging teenage girls without the common decency to REMEMBER that the McCain’s were supposed GUESTS on their show. I’m ashamed for them and as a woman, count myself out from associating from them in any way, shape or form. I’ve deleted all of my The View shows from our 3 TiVo’s as well as removed The View from auto-record. WHOOPI, JOY & BARBARA-IF BY PER CHANCE YOU READ ANY OF THESE COMMENTS..did it ever occur to any of you to behave like professional journalists and treat all your guests with a modicum of respect and agree to disagree and do so with integrity?

Amen to “joedakota” you are so right with your comments. GO VOTE McCain and save all of us in the USA!

It appears that The View’s Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg not only have “no class,” but are considerably less than professional. I don’t think Barbara Walters was very professional with Senator either. Absolutely unacceptable!

Where do Elle and other Dems get off complaining about the McCain’s seven houses and the fact that Cindy McCain is an heiress? I’m sure you were just as outraged by the lifestyle of John Kerry and his wife, the Catsup heiress, with her “Let them eat cake” attitude. Cindy McCain is a class act, who has organized and been a part of medical missions to Africa. And that’s just for starters. Did “the view” (I refuse to capitalize the title of that trival show) ask her anything about that? If anyone thinks — including those ON “the view” — that this show is legitimate journalism, and not just barbara walters’ (as well as whoopi goldberg’s) last grasp at fleeting fame, then, folks you are in the midst of a genuine delusion. (By the way, I don’t believe whoopi goldberg was her given name . . . so who’s living a lie?)

The issue here is the disgusting manner in which Behar, Goldberg and Walters conducted themselves in an interview with guests on their show. No matter what their personal views may be, their behavior was unprofessional and they should be taken to task by ABC executive management and sponsors of The View. They were like cannibals (with a hidden agenda) that invited guests for dinner. And Barbara Walters should be the most ashamed of all. She is supposed to be a seasoned journalist. Maybe Rosie was right – maybe she is too old and should retire.

i have read thru several of the comments on here and i am appauled at the mentality of people in during this election.. Several of you have stated that you were undecided who you were going to vote for and now your decision is based on the actions and words of women that are not even in the presidential running– wow–i am tired of this whole election being based on what others say– what color a persons skin is– or if a candidate is a woman– i have heard women say they are voting McCain /Palin just because Palin is a woman– i have heard some blacks also state they are voting for Obama because he is black– WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING– THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY VOTE FOR HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN- we are selecting people to make MAJOR decisions for our country… We need to demand that this election stays on the up and up and that only the issues are addressed– keep the other things out of this… whether a person is white-black- female or male is not a reason to vote them in..

I have enjoyed the View for years and have always thought Barbara Walters was a class act and even purchased her book. I thought Joy was top of the line and I never miss when she is on Larry King. However, the “View” is no longer on my list of television programs. When Michelle Obama was on the View, she was treated like Royalty in her sleeveless dress and no hose. She was fawned over as if she were the Queen of England. I think the view has gone “HOLLYWOOD”.

I am disbelief of the absolute slaying of a US Senator that took place on The View. I was under the definite wrong impression of this show, thinking well, you women are in Obama’s corner and that’s OK. We just disagree, but a disagreement is not what I saw, nor was tough fair questions. Never again, you’ve lost this home ever viewing your show again. You 3 were down right nasty, disrespectful.

Paraphrasing Dennis Miller… “Who knew, maybe Rosie was the genius there [on The View].”

These women are so slanted and so abrasive, who would listen and watch them? They are every bit as mean spirited and nutzoid as Rosie. Barbara WAWA has no class at all. She is one tacky broad . I don’t care how much $ she has or how famous she is, she is a beligerent, low class. I can’t stand the sight of them, let alone watch them. I hope this show’s ratings hit an all time low. Barbara deserves all the failure she is about to receive. I predict she will not only NOT land on her feet from this, but that she will never recover, and she will slowly fade away and never will she rise again. It couldn’t happen to a nicer gal.

As a woman, it was embarassing to watch the way the View girls treated the McCains. I distinctly remember that when Obama was a guest on their show, they were swooning over him and that felt embarassing too. The big difference in the treatment of the two candidates was glaring. I was undecided but now I am voting for McCain.
As a woman, I also can’t stand the way the media and Hollywood is treating Palin. Oprah is no longer on my list and I am cancelling my subscription to her magazine. As far as The View is concerned,let them keep talking because they will keep driving people to the other side.

The interview was totally unfair and biased. Why is it OK to bash republicans all the time and treat democrats like they’re royalty. It makes me disgusted … especially from Barbara Walters who knows better. She needs to retire. The only refreshing one on The View is Elisabeth and they hardly ever let her get a word in edge-wise. She should have her own show. Whoopie with the disgusted looks and eye rolling … Joy and her big mouth and rude attacking comments. They sure were on their best behavior for the Obama’s, but that just goes to show how unfair and biased they are. They should dump Barbara, Joy & Whoopie — get fresh young blood in there who are at least respectful towards all people like Elisabeth is.

“The Spew” is more appropriate. Barbra and Whoopy were totally disgusting the way the were sending signals to each other in ridicule on McCains answers. I have never seen any talk show as condesending and unprofessional as this group. They sit there and feed each others egos and forget who their audience is no matter how they vote, audiences want professionals, not bitter old hags that think way to much of themselves. Girls, you all have seen your better days, hang it up, along with your bitter, nasty jealousies. You all make me sick. Your jealousies are disgusting.

To LKH who said “I watched the View today for one reason only. I took notes as to who their sponsors are. I will no longer purchase products from the companies that run ads on the View.”
****************
Can you tell us who those sponsors are?

Elizabeth is the only reason I have continued to watch the view, but after the way the McCains were treated on the show in comparison to the way the Obamas were treated, I won’t be watching the show any more. The ladies are entitled to their views, but they were mean spirited, and not professional.

i used to like whoopie and waters but i can see that whoopie is not funny and carrys a big chip and waters should get a life and stay out of politics she has been rich since she has come into this world how many houses does she have and whoopie maybe ill throw her out of the hotel again lol

“The View”? who’s view? not mine. It is a shame that the women from “The View” seem to think that they are speaking for the women of America. Well.. they are WRONG! I am not a rude big mouth like Joy lacking respect and class. The proof is here -they are out touch with main stream American women and are into their own little Hollywood hyper liberal corner. I will stop watching the show and take note of their sponsors. I have done the same with the Ophra show and canceled my membership to her magazine. It was a dishonor to our country the way they treated the McCains. That was not an interview, but rather an attack from a pack of angry wolves!

This blog is 90 percent negative responses to the behavior of the view hosts, which just proves Cindy McCains point: The episode does not represent the view of most American women.
DOWN WITH THE VIEW.

The View ladies were rude to the McCains and that’s all there is to it. I believe they were disrespectful to John McCain.

For an eye opening experience, please read the following article:
WHERE DID OBAMA’S MONEY COME FROM?
Subject: New York Times Editorial
By MAUREEN DOWD
Published: June 29, 2008
Certainly the most interesting and potentially devastating
OBAMA’S TROUBLING INTERNET FUND RAISING

What do you expect from “Hollywood”!

Here’s a novel concept, stop watching the View. Turn off your TV, go get a job, and you won’t have to complain about what these people are saying about “poor Cindy McCain” and “Poor Mrs. Obama”. We’re so busy as a country trying to make our politicians more appealing by allowing them time on shows like Ellen DeGeneris and The View, that we the people have confused politics with celebrity status. THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST FOLKS! Stop looking to hollywood celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg and elderly journalists like Barbara Walters to find life information. Do some research, WEIGH the information, be INFORMED! This country’s like a stupid pack of lemmings. Read the information, absorb it, understand it, ignore opinions of others. Who cares how many homes the McCains have. If they paid their taxes on the money they earned, then it’s moot. Not saying it’s not greedy, but who isn’t. Most people complaining about McCain’s houses and money are the people who are too lazy to go out and really work hard, study hard, and acheive. The Obama’s have their problems too. The Palin’s have theirs and Joe Biden’s got his skeletons in the closet. No one is infallable, perfect or incapable of making mistakes. The biggest mistake we can make is in voting strictly based on what you are hearing on the news and entertainment shows. THE VIEW is made for bored women who don’t work outside the house, trying to fill their time before the kids get home from school and retired people who think that Barbara Walters makes a difference in anyone’s life. IT’S ENTERTAINMENT. Take it as that and don’t pay it to much attention.

What ever happened to fair and balanced reporting. Whoopi,your comment is why most americans still have race issues. Barbara you need to retire as most of us are sick of listening to your stupid remarks.
Go McCain/Palin

What is “RUDE” about asking questions of poignant interest? Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, SPONSORED by John McCain (candidates could not engage in negative campaign advertising without the source of the ads being CLEAR)McCain’s ads are FAR from clear. Obama wants to teach kindergartens sex education…NOT TRUE (educate them about pedophiles) Obama wants to raise taxes on middle class…NOT TRUE (people making 200-250,000 will be taxed) If those poor souls making 250,000 a year want to whine, try living off of 28,000 a year in this economy

Back again today, just to see what everyone is saying. What I am seeing, loud and clear are democrats completely missing the point and diverting the issue yet again. The issue is NOT the questions that were asked (although I am not sure how many houses John McCain owns is relevant). The issue is the unprofessional, bratty, ridiculous, childish behavior of the “hosts” (I use this term lightly). Yes, ask tough questions! We need tough questions. We do not need biased, immature behavior that I would expect from a 9 year old child.
I see this behavior in virtually every interview, debate, etc where the democrats are involved. It is almost comical. The democrats always seem to be the ones yelling, screaming and name bashing. I guess that when you can’t win with intelligence, you revert to acting like a child.
Out of all of the comments that I have read on here, I see very few that are obviously democratic based that show any intelligence whatsoever. Kudos to those of you that read, listen and actually know about the issues at hand. It is nice to see that some people are actually paying attention.
As far as The View goes, I really don’t care who they are interviewing. They should treat people with respect and maybe they should actually let the person answer the questions without interrupting them constantly and rolling their eyes. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly. That is not what happened on this show. I was embarrassed by their behavior.
Also, just to clarify, I do have a job that I go to every day and I wasn’t sitting around eating bon-bons watching the television. I saw the interview on the internet later that evening.

you people are so blind, obama is the big man for many of you, I will make changes tell that to his family living in slums i will make changes tell that to us n california who can afford those big bashs when the econmy is hurting but its ok to have high ticket prices to rasie money, i will make changes oh yes i have my big home i can pay for we question McCain on houses, I love my counrty tell that to our boys even if Bush sent them tell that to McCain tell that to our Vets they have loved the counrty and served it. Hay Holloywood hay whoopi or cookie slaves right how about that money you have tell some of us who work our butts off to make a living trying to make ends meat california groups to really look at those demos and repub, for me i trust MaCain i trust Holloywood less and less media they love obama all those foreign counrtys want obama should tell you something about his and biden back grounds our NOT

Everybody is getting off the reason for these comments are here, so here I go too! I do feel that “the view” was wrong in showing disrespect to both McCain and his wife and they were very unprofessional! Tough question are alright, but please show at least little respect and let the person answer the questions. If they didn’t like that answers that was given that should be okay, because the difference of opinions are what make this country great and work! Drama in the media seems to be the way for this election this year! As far as lies, both sides have lied on their ads! Everybody needs to do their research on both candidates, because the more that you research on your candidate and the opposing side you’ll find out that they are not lies.
I watched both conventions and decided to vote for McCain. I feel that he’s the better man and is more qualified to be our President at this time in the America.
Some years back I was a single mother going through college full time and working three jobs and I just couldn’t make it, so I had to go on state aid. I have since graduated and got off state aid. I hated going on state aid, but I had no choice at the time. That’s what it’s supposed to be there for is for help until you get back on your feet, not to live off forever as so many people do! So, I’ve live at both ends of the pay rate and I believe I understand a person needs and wants.
I can not vote democrat, because I feel that our constitutional rights will be taken away in America and that we’ll be turning into another Cuba, Russia ….. Why is it that in other parts of the world supports Obama as President???? Scary thought isn’t it!!! It’s sad fact but true, that most people are voting only for a certain race, sex or if they are Democrat or Republican. McCain is not Bush and I feel that that’s the way to go!!
Go – McCain – Palin!!!

I am very upset with the interview. They were very rude to McCain and his wife. I had never seen the View until the clip was shown. This is one that I never
want to view again. They showed just how liberal they
are, how come they were so nice to Obama. This is quite an injustice.
Go Mccain and Palin, may God be with you.

What about what Elizabeth said about Michelle Obama, and whats so wrong about being a Muslim? Give us a break people.

And if we don’t like the unprofessionalism exhibited on “The View”, refuse to watch it. We will be much enlightened and improved for doing so.
If enough people cease to view it, the producers will eventually have to cancel it. Posting comments is not going to force the liberals to change their attitudes. That can only come from within; all we can do is boycott them.
Or better yet, refuse to be interviewed by them, or have any interaction of any kind with them. After all, we are influenced (positively and negatively) by those whom we allow to associate with us.

My favorite entertainment these days is when McCain/Palin are criticized and vilified by the Libs. they’re so jealous and frustrated it’s comical. Like John’s 7 houses..I think it’s great, and if he had 19 houses it would be fine with me.
Those Libs still haven’t figured out that this is a capitalist country. Making money and living well is what we do best. Just because someone has a brain and the ability to get things done it’s some sort of crime. Brabra and Whopee and the rest on the view are old worn out has beens and really need to get another line of work. Joy Behar is more rude than funny, and Elizabeth should stop trying to compete on the low level of that show. She’s better than that. I love the way snarky remarks just roll off Sarah. She’s bright enough to consider the source and is focused on doing what needs to be done in the country. West coast numb skulls are just something to be stepped over like the piles of crap they are. Anyway, I find it all quite amusing. =)

thank you women of the view … you just helped obama loose this election along with other supporters like yourselfs who show no respect …it must be how the democratic party runs itself……… be rude …. your true colors came out of your big fat ugly mouths on your show…………..no guest should be trested like that ……. ms walters I guess in her old age had to write a book showing who she slept with.. even if it hurts the other persons family……………. and she didn’t have the guts to let them know ahead of time to be ready for it…….. no wonder you have been alone all these years who would want to be with such a person.. please spare us any more books ms walters no one really cares about your life….. your show is pure trash………. I can’t wait to see your faces the day after the election when jon mccain is president ……… thank you for showing the ugly side of the dems…….the people need to know what your like ……..

I have watched The View from time to time and officially will never watch again. The women with the exception of Elisabeth are rude and closed minded. They have no idea what real people do for a living or how the rest of the world struggles. They are not a true picture of what the American people are saying! I thought they were unfair, rude and frankly were making fun of the McCain’s. It is fine to have an opinion and ask tough questions, but try doing it with class and respect which I saw none of!

My goodness people. Do you really think that The View speaks for Democrats? Is your sense of “Us vs. Them” so grotesquely hardened that you can tarnish millions of your fellow Americans because of some TV show hosts? Please, get a sense of proportion.
My wife’s family is predominantly Republican and I love and respect them all, despite our differing political beliefs. I could not imagine slandering them merely because of Rush Limbaugh’s latest asinine insult or some ridiculous talking head on Fox News. I should hope most people can grant the same courtesy to their fellow Americans, and rise above such petty and pointless partisanship.
ps – re: Tammy. “I watched both conventions and decided to vote for McCain.” Please, please tell me you are not basing who you should think be president based on the conventions? The conventions are _shows_. Borderline entertainment. Deciding who should be president should be based on a review of the candidates’ histories, their policies, their likely appointees, their debates – not based on a carefully orchestrated pep rally. That’s like saying “Based on the commercials I’ve seen on TV and The View, I’m going to vote for Obama.” Not exactly what Thomas Jefferson had in mind when he wrote about the well-informed citizenry being the safeguard of democracy.

I think that Joy Behar is a disgrace. She is nothing but a big mouth that loves to spout off and make ridiculous comments. She has no talent and if the view were cancelled, I’m sure she would be unemployed for a long time.
I don’t routinely watch the view. These women make some of the most rediculous remarks.
I get tired of Whoopi always commenting about how discrimination is still so rampant in the US. Get over it WHOOPI!!! Your the reason your race doesn’t want to move on. I think that she continues to spout off and complain because her antitude is so negative and unproductive. She should take some time and take a good look at herself. She is very very prejudice.
What can one say about Joy Behar except what an idiot. Wake up Joy, think before you make some of those hideous remarks.
I would be a very negative person if I watched the view on a daily basis.
ABC needs to change the format of the show and give viewers a chance to express their views.
Get smart ABC and cancel the View!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Fantastic work!
