Hasselbeck to Campaign for Palin
ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: The McCain-Palin campaign’s efforts to reach women is about to get a celebrity boost: Elisabeth Hasselbeck is set to join Gov. Sarah Palin on the campaign trail.
“The View” co-host said Thursday the McCain campaign contacted her a day earlier, to convey an invitation from Palin to introduce her at rallies Sunday in Florida.
“I am more than honored to be there, so I will be flying there to travel with her and meet some pretty interesting people, I have a feeling,” Hasselbeck said. “That’s an honor, I’m excited to do it, and I’ll have some stories I’m sure on Monday.”
The move comes as the McCain-Palin campaign seeks to boost its support among female voters. Despite early suggestions that Palin’s selection would help attract women, as well as former supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of both genders, polls suggest it hasn’t worked out that way.
Earlier this week, the ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll showed that 56 percent of women say the Palin pick makes them less confident in McCain’s judgment.
And Obama is now getting the support of 84 percent of former Clinton supporters, up from 72 percent in mid-June.
Hasselbeck has been a consistent pro-McCain voice on the popular ABC daytime program. She wore a McCain T-shirt on the set during Tuesday’s program, and tangled with her co-hosts Wednesday over her support for the GOP ticket.
“[McCain is] the most unifying figure in the Senate. Barack Obama is so far left,” Hasselbeck said Wednesday. Turning to her co-host, Joy Behar, an Obama supporter, she said: “Do you want some more Barack Obama Kool-Aid, or what?”
Hasselbeck also criticized the media Wednesady for its focus on the money the Republican National Committee spent on Palin’s clothing: “Are you looking into Joe Biden’s supposed botox shots in his forehead?” she said.

That should help her out a lot. Sarah Palin would be better served by releasing her medical records so her camp can move on.

Seriously…Elisabeth Hasselbeck is SO closed minded…why do they let her debate? She has no interest in what the other women on the show have to say. And the kool-aid comment!! OMG that was horrible and racist.
She will think of ANY reason to defend the Republican party because she knows how bad the conditions are for them right now. People want HOPE and CHANGE…not more of the same!!
I’m guessing that having her along on the campaign trail will not have much of an effect. If the women of America are smart (which I know they are), they will see past all of this foolishness and realize that, Yes…Sarah Palin was a HORRIBLE choice and it really DOES say something about McCain’s judgement. This woman is a heartbeat away from being our PRESIDENT and her foreign policy experience is that she can see Russia from where she lives?!?! C’mon now people!!
VOTE SMART ON NOV. 4TH!!!

Why is Hasselbeck is supporting a VP candidate who still doesn’t know what the VP’s job is?
When a third grade class asked Palin what a VP does, she got the answer wrong. The teacher had to tell her class that Palin did not know what the VP actually does.

Hasselbeck will support Palin and campaign with her, but Palin can’t return the favour and appear on The View. Is Palin that afraid of the media or is she that big a liability.
And truly, how much pull do you believe Hasselbeck has.

Posted by: RJ | October 23, 2008, 11:43 am 11:43 am
It’s OK for Babs Streisand and Oprah to swoon all over Oduma, but the libs can’t stand a celebrity backing Sarah.
You see, with the Dem Libs it’s a one-way street. It’s OK for them to do whatever (illegal, legal, questionable) but they have a hissy fit when the other party does something even remotely similar.
At least Sarah isn’t a dried-up old buzzard who’s been doing nothing for 35 years in Wash. like Biden. She’ll take on anybody in Washington. She OWES THEM NOTHING!

That is great, but Plain already has the conservative white woman vote, that part of the party is secure, why don’t they get that they need to appeal to the independents and conservative democrats to make any inroads in the polls. Hasselbeck is not going to get that coveted independent demo, they could care less about what Elizabeth Hasselbeck thinks…what ever happened to that line that Obama was a celebrity and nothing else…I guess it’s okay when they use celebrity’s to win votes.. But hey it’s fine with me I am a Obama supporter.

As lovely as Ms. Hasselbeck may be, her endorsement of Ms. Palin is about as meaningful as, um, lipstick.

Posted by: bhciapol | October 23, 2008, 11:46 am 11:46 am
The Republicans still do not have anyone on the campaign trail, because people dislike Elizabeth as much as they dislike Sen. Palin. Elizabeth is a typical Republican, because no matter what the Republican’s do it is right and she is always going to blame the Democrats.
I personally do not like her because she is rude, disrepectful to others, and try to over talk everyone else on the show. I guess she feels if she over talk them, then people would believe her. No Elizabeth, people do not believe you, they just Mute the TV when you are talking.

I cannot belief that we as Americans have forgotten Martin Luther King I have a Dream speech.
Black America is truly lost if they vote only because the color of a mans skin, it goes against everything that Dr. King stood for in fighting for equality of mankind.
He only asked that his children and others not ever be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Black America is truly lost as they are making there decision on electing a man because of the color of his skin. Over and over we need a brother in the whitehouse or he is like us.
Martin Luther’s King has not failed because black america has learned nothing.

Joy Behar is so angry…I can’t figure out where the anger is coming from. Elizabeth is great! It’s a wonder she survives in show business. She is the only voice for conservative values on the View. They swoon over Obama and totally disrespected McCain.Whether they agree with McCain or not. He deserves their respect. I predict Elizabeth will be silenced when the new wave of political correctness is imposed by the Obama regime. I guess that’s what the majority wants. Atleast that’s what the media driven polls say. We’ll see.

Funny- aren’t the republicans always railing about how hollywood is a leftist arm of the Dems? And now they are using a celebrity to drum up clients for a failing business (the GOP). Perhaps the GOP should buy some Mortgage Backed Securities and then request a bailout from government to the tune of a few billion dollars. LOSERS, they get us into this mess and now say they are the only ones that can get us out of it!
Interesting that for the past 8 years they took all the credit for the positives in our economy. Now that we have slipped into a depresesion (yes, depression) and dragged the rest of the world down too, they point the finger at democrats (Clinton admin, the last two years of congress and senate). What they fail to appreciate is that the last 28 years, we’ve only had 8 years were with a democratic president!
The Republicans have been in control for so long yet can’t see that they have been running the show and have failed. Talk about needing to go to Failed Politicans Anonymous – they are just like alcoholics who don’t recognize the disease . . .

Paris Hilton is not qualified to run for VP because she does not meet the age requirement of 35.
Palin is qualified to run for VP. I think what most of you mean is that she is not as experienced. Of course none of the other candidates have any executive experience. Seneators make laws, Governors make decisions. And to the next person who says “she is only a Gov of a state with 700,000 people so she can’t possibly be a good leader.” If size of the constituency makes a person a good leader, then President Bush is a better leader than George Washington because he governs 340 million people versus Washington’s 3 million.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the Rush Limbaugh of The View. I’m not saying she’s “a big, fat idiot” because she obviously isn’t big or fat. She serves a great purpose and should be kept on the show. She is a great example of how ridiculous the extreme conservative far right point of view is. Most viewers and most of the US population for that matter disagree with EH but the show would be pretty boring without her to disagree with.
Keep EH on The View and encourage her to go stand beside Palin at her rallies. They have a lot in common in that they form opinions with self serving, ego-centric ideologies and often contradict themselves moving from one arguement to another.

BABA whos own daughter is a drug addict and siad her mom who adopted her failed as a parent by not being there for her. Whoopie who uses race and hides behind it to suite her. And rosie who is just stupid and thinks she is queen of something. Glad to see your as smart as they are. Hope is alive for all of us.

How is this breaking news? I don’t get it. It’s not like Hasselbeck is some type of intellectual or person who can address and help solve the complex issues facing the American people. This is such a farce!
Posted by: Magda | October 23, 2008, 11:56 am 11:56 am
Ms. Hasselbeck has done a great job of exploiting her marriage to Matt, the Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback. It’s just like high school: One big popularity contest. The beautiful people get their way because we’re basically apes who can’t get over our built-in survival instincts. What a shame that we choose over and over to let our hindbrains decide for us, rather than to use logic and reasoning. We get what we tolerate.

if it weren’t for the view, i wouldn’t even know who elizabeth h was. we as Americans are entitled to our opinions…and as Americans, we can voice them. But, I agree with Joy…
Palin as a Vice-President is a bit scary. Is she a lawyer….she is no Hillary. And, what about being a pow, we have to admit it does somethig to the mind. McCain sounds like most, not all, wealthy people…give me more, so I can make more…I am a better risk. Which makes it harder for the little man who wants his own business to get ahead, or even have a chance at being his own boss. Several thoughts, and I apologize for not separating them better. Last, I hope Elizabeth is a former view person soon. Are you listening Barbara?

Two airheads appearing together at a rally won’t help the McCain Campaign at all. Last week it was Hank Williams, Jr. Conservatives must have been impressed with him. Really classy guy there. That sure helped now, didn’t it? They sink lower and lower in the polls. And stop comparing Palin to Biden. Palin is just plain stupid. So she might be a skillful politician who got herself elected Governor, but now it seems her husband was pulling all the strings over thar in Alaska, yuh! With all those millions and millions of people…err, rather under one million actual inhabitants that she had to “manage”. Gee, no wonder she was so popular over there, too. She gave back $2,000 to each resident in oil tax revenue. I probably would have liked her too. Kind of sounds like “socialism” to me, though. Giving back to the people.

Hasselback is sooo annoying. Doesn’t anyone care that Palin spouts a doctrine the ends separation of church and state. This is a melting pot and its okay to believe whatever it is you choose but her God is not everyone’s God and its insensitive of her to use religion to spout her agenda. People should be scared, very scared that someone is running for office that is such a bigot and part of a religion that is extremely biased toward alternative religions.

Patriot & Joan -
The country is already in the drain – thanks to people like McCain! He voted with Pres. Lame Duck (yes little bush) 95% of the time! We are in this mess because for 28 years (of which only 8 have been with a Dem. Pres.) the Repubs have been running the show and have failed miserably!
The facts are the facts. The country is already in the drain and the plumber we need is not the same one the same old company of old farts that got us here (the GOP). Dems. have failures to account for but certainly not the same – remember, Clinton left with a Budget surplus and diminished debt. Bush has increased debt, diminished the dollar value, made victory in iraq and afghanistan a moving political target that even mccain can’t hit!
GOP = failure (look at the last 8 years)
Dems = Success, look at clinton admin (budget surplus, diminished debt, no wars we can’t get out of).
McCain is a right wing radical compared to the centrist positions of Obama . . .

NOW DOES SOMETHING SEEM VERY ODD ABOUT McCAIN’S COMMENT? HMMM.

I think that if Sarah Palin wanted to get the mom vote, then she shouldn’t have asked Elizabeth for help. I have never heard anyone have such a ungly attitude toward democrats than Elizabeth. She doesn’t speak to all moms, her opinion is to biased and I feel that she will try and put Michelle down, again.
That is not how good moms should act. They don’t say ugly things about people and then pretend to cry when talking about the “n” word.
You have to teach your children to have an open mind about different people. For Elizabeth has not really shown me that she could have an open mind should Barack and Joe win,

Ms. Hasselbeck since you like to make news (on the stump with Ms. Palin) lets talk about what is news – now defend this when you and Ms. Palin are all dressed up in new duds (none made in the US of A) and designer labels:
- the fact that Gov. Palin has taken $27 million in earmarks IS news; (pandering/corruption) -the fact that Gov. Palin was the DIRECTOR of indicted Sen. Ted Stevens’ 527 and raised millions for him, IS news; (corrupt)
-the fact that Gov. Palin ran up a $20 million debt when she was mayor of a small town IS news.(misuse of authority) – The fact that Gov. Palin was a member of the Buchanan Brigade IS news. (Anti-Semitic conservative, Nazi sympathizer) – the fact that Gov. Palin is a member of Alaskans for Independence Party IS news; sedition/treason) -the fact that Gov. Palin is a NeoPentacostal Dominionist which is a church that preaches purging the Earth of all non-Christians by a specially anointed army of God (starting with the Jews), IS news; (religious fanaticism) – The fact that as a teen Gov. Palin played a leading role as a member of said army (Joel’s Army or the Army of the Third Wave-which most Christian theologians consider heretical in nature) IS news…. Now talk about that before the microphone rather than supporting a mouthpiece for the Karl Rove clan of protection of the upper class (of which you are a devout member).
Posted by: OnTheGloryRoad | October 23, 2008, 12:06 pm 12:06 pm
So Palin sold the jet for a loss. She is still saving the tax payers money becuase there is no more cost for maintenance crews, aviation fuel, etc. It’s pretty refreshing to see a politician flying coach (of course this was before the campaign).

I agree. Why is this consider ‘Breaking News’? This is not really mind-blowing important, given Hasslebeck is known to favor the Repubs anyway on ‘The View’.
So big deal. I doubt they’re going to get much a big sway from women voters to make them all go for McCain, especially not the Pro-Choise side who obvious know Palin is totally anti-abortion no matter of the circumstances.

Why doesn’t Elisabeth Hasslewhatever go to Fox News and save us from all this? She oviously hates being aroung the women of the view….maybe Hannity can save a place on his lap for her. Every morning she saying the same thing that Hannity stated the night before on his show. She has no original thoughts and words her notes as she speaks. So obvious. Go to Foxy News you won’t be missed. During your pregnancy leave the show was much easier to watch.

Brenda: “Doesn’t anyone care that Palin spouts a doctrine the ends separation of church and state.”
I’m more concerned that she doesn’t even have a basic, high-school level understanding of how our government operates.
Seriously. There is like zero substance to her. I mean, I know she’s capable and obviously not an idiot. But she also hasn’t demonstrated the least bit of depth of understanding or even thought about issues outside of those she encounters in Alaska.
My son is 10 now. When he’s 18, I can guarantee he’ll understand the difference between a vice president and the Senate majority leader.
This probably goes back to past decisions to drop civics as a formal high school course. Which is odd when you think about it – we’re a democratic republic and the most powerful nation ever. So that’s a whole lot of responsibility we Americans have as citizens, and yet our educational systems nationwide no longer see much reason to teach our future voters how our government actually works.

Ans what was that “kool aid” comment all about?? Racist for sure!! As soon as the ladies start talking politics, I cringe and turn the show off. I’d rather watch a cartoon! I knew we are all entitled to our own opinion, but Elisabeth takes things too far…too, too far! I’m glad for this warning to not watch any of Palin’s appearances going forward. I can’t wait until Nov. 4 when this will be over and we will know that our new President will be BARACK OBAMA and our VP will be JOE BIDEN…two people who will lead our country out of it’s current mess!

Good for Hasselbeck…. I think the View should now be renamed “The LEFT-MOST Views in America”. If I were Hasselbeck, I’d go off and start my own show called “American Views”!

Kim Honey. The word is self-loathing, not self loading. I don’t take pride in bashing other women. However, I do take special pride in bashing Sarah Palin and Elizabeth Hasselbeck and therefore, do not suffer from low self-esteem. What is my contribution to society? Let’s see, I belong to two civic organizations that carry out various programs for the down and out, but more importantly, I support Barack Obama which support I fully believe will contribute to society because he will contribute to society so much more than John McCain and Sarah Palin ever dreamed of supporting. Who will miss me if I fall off the face of the earth: My husband, my children, my daughters-in-law, my grandchildren, the two foreign children I sponsor, the members of my clubs, my co-workers, my neighbors, the people in my church, the old army buddy I just reconnected with after a 30-year spell….would you like me to continue?

Why is Elizabeth is still on the View? And why are segments of the View are constantly being shown with Elizabeth’s opinions? Clearly the lady lack intelligence. If she calls herself a republican/CONSERVATIVE, why is she supporting a woman whose is far being one…does having a 17 year old unmarried daughter who is pregnant still qualify you as conservative? If it was Barack’s daughter, the media would have crushed him long time ago. But for a ‘hockey mom’ it’s OK? Besides Sarah Palin lost my vote when she started to accuse Obama of being involved with terrorists. She needs to get her facts straight before opening her mouth.

Elizabeth is very good at memorizing GOP lines, such as “Obama is a socialist.” She should serve well.

Hasselbeck is a better supporter than Lohan and other lefty stars.
The hate for Palin comes from fear. Fear that a real woman can succeed without cheating ACORN or a famous husband. ;{

To Blackjack: you have to be blind and deaf to still be spouting that “Palin has more executive experience on paper” line as to why she is more qualified than Barack Obama. Have you yourself watched the Katie Couric interviews with Palin? Have you noticed how Palin has been largely sheltered from the media? Why no press conferences? What about Palin having been found GUILTY OF ABUSING HER POWER in her attempt to get a trooper fired? How about her debate performance where she by and large gave non-answers, or else flatly refused to answer the question? How about the hypocracy of a campaign that decried Obama’s “celebrity appeal” and now holds Palin up as nothing more than having just that. McCain’s excuse for why he’s proud of her is “look at the crowds she draws”!!!! She’s nothing more than a celebrity!
This is the woman who claims, with a straight face, that her ability to see Russia from an Island of Alaska gives her foreign policy experience.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a hateful, venom-spewing, nasty petulant little girl. She cannot tolerate to hear anything negative (even if it’s true) about McCain. Nor can she tolerate hearing anything positive (even well-deserved) about Obama without saying some “yeah, but” and saying how someone in the McCain campaign has the same positive. She is a shining example of everything that is wrong with America today – racist, close-minded, blinded to reality.
Palin is a dangerous pick for V.P. After all the evidence that has been presented to us these past two months, in SPITE of the campaign shielding her, anyone who votes for her must want the very worst for America.
Me, I want unity, Christian values (REAL Christian values by someone who walks the walk and doesn’t just talk the talk), I want inclusiveness, and pride again in being American. I want healing for our country, and healing for our world. And that’s why I am voting for BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN ’08.

For all the Kool Aid questions out there – I believe this was not a racial reference, but referring to the Jonestown murders, where everyone drank the Kool Aid and died because they believed whatever they were told. Or it has to do with the Electric Kool Aid Acid tests of the 1960s when everyone was hallucinating!
And, Elizabeth is the one drinking the Kool Aid!

To all you people who seriously think that the Kool-Aide comment was racist…your ignorant and racist yourself!?! Better know your history on this comment before you speak, FYI has nothing to do with a race at all..just do some reasearch before you haul off and accuse someone of being racist. If anything the ones who are saying this are the racist. Man I used to be a Democrat..I’m so glad I went to College got educated, work hard, expect no handouts, earn what I have, pay my bills, support our troops, love our freedoms, morals in tact, dream the AMERICAN dream, love family values, love America….I honestly never thought I would be a Republican, even sat on the fence as an Independant, but now I’m proud to be a Republican. I don’t think McCain is the strongest candidate the party has ever had, but I will say this to all the Dems, if Obama gets office (which he may) you guys will be very sorry!! well the ones who want the American dream and believe in the sercurity blanket it provides you will be. McCain/Palin 08′= America
Posted by: McCain=Great American!! | October 23, 2008, 12:17 pm 12:17 pm
I love it. “I’m a Republican, what can I do to help elect my party’s candidate?” “I’m a Democrat, what can I do to help elect my party’s candidate?”
All of you right and left people need to get over yourselves.
American has zero time for party politics. If you label yourself as anything but an Independent in these days, you’re a moron. The question isn’t “which party is best suited for the White House?”. The question is, “who’s the best candidate, regardless of party, race, age, or experience?”
And the Experience argument in this race is senseless. McCain having been in office for 26 years doesn’t make him more qualified than Obama. What qualifies you for this job is your proposal for turning this country around and moving it into the right direction, period.
Ask yourself this, if you were in a burning building, and the man or woman in front of you was a fireman and knew how to get you out, would you stop and ask the person if they were a Republican or Democrat before you followed them out? Idiots.

Well, if I thought Palin was a lightweight before, adding Hasselbeck’s endorsement and participation in the campaign makes her MORE so. Jeez. How about some animated characters joining her on stage? Or baskets of puppies (providing Palin could resist the urge to shoot them)? Maybe they could give out warm chocolate chip cookies – or Sizzler coupons?
Posted by: Sevres Blue | October 23, 2008, 12:21 pm 12:21 pm
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is closed minded? Please, did you see the hate-filled look on Joy’s face when O’Reilly was on the show?
And the kool-aid reference was NOT racist (unless everything you say against Obama and one of his supporters is now considered racist). The reference was do to the fact that Obama supporters are blindlessly following this man right off the edge of a cliff.

Elizabeth is such a class act. I just wish she would get off of that horrible View. Barbara Walters is immoral; Woopie Goldberg is simply horrible and Joy whatever should go get another job. Everyone on the view except Elizabeth is simply without any character. We (and I mean many of us)just don’t watch it anymore, and we do not watch Chrales Gibson, Diane Sawyer or George (the blantant one for Obama). ABC is off our list.

Why couldn’t they have picked a country musician or athlete someone who’s actually accomplished something in life. Hasselbeck is a reality star, i.e. famous for being famous. It’s a tragedy her 15 minutes have been extended as long as they have. Hopefully they’ll run out once America realizes that she has no viable talents, worthwhile insights, or redeeming qualities (aside from half-decent looks, that is).

When did kool-aid become racist?
Ohh, I had forgotten, anything said by someone who does not adore the dear leader is racist.
So, later today when I say ” Hey lets go out for lunch” I am actually making a racist statement.
I wont be voting for McCain/Palin, or against Obama/Biden I am voting against what the DNC has become this time around.

There once was a time when it was the liberals who were considered to be open-minded and accepting of all. My, how a few years has changed that. Now, they’re the very ones who are closed-minded and unrelenting to any argument that might challenge their belief system – just watching the View is a pretty good example of that.
This match between Hasselbeck and Palin is a good one – they’re two women who understand that the solutions to most of this country’s problems is not a one-size fits all solution, but a multi-dimensional, pro-consumer solution.
Posted by: Justin Thyme | October 23, 2008, 12:29 pm 12:29 pm
Don’t care either one. Hasselback has a loud voice that over-rides anything she has to say. Stopped watching The View because of her. As for Palin, please! If anything happens to McCain, she would be president??!! NO!!

So you consider “Real Christian Values” as someone who will sign the Freedom of Choice Act which will make any abortion legal at anytime including Partial Birth Abortion? You consider “real Christian values” as someone who voted 4 times against an amendment that would guarantee medical treatment to infants accidentally born alive after a botched abortion?
I have a child with a disability. Obama likes to promise all kinds of “rights” to people with disabilities, but how can you even think about rights for individuals with disabilities until you agree that ALL LIFE has purpose????!!!!!! Over 90% of all infants with Down Syndrome are aborted today! How much will that increase with President Obama?

Posted by: andie | October 23, 2008, 12:32 pm 12:32 pm
I can just imagine a McCain/Pailin administration.
Advisor – “Pres. McCain, Iran has spewed hateful american rhetoric and denounced the continued existence of Israel”
McCain – “I will not allow America to be threatened, bullied or pushed around. Sarah, go gain some foreign policy experience and provide me with some advice”
Pailing – “Yes sir, I’ll head out to the airport and as planes fly overhead I’ll gain valuable foreign policy experience and if I time it correctly I’ll be under a plane with Iranian diplomats on board to get an even greater insight into how they think. In the meantime I’ll send the First Dude to complain to the U.N. and demand that Ahmadinejad be terminated for his vile comments. by the way, I’ll need a new wardrobe for the airport assignment and I’m taking my daughters and Bristol’s dropout husband. In the meantime, I suggest you Drill, baby, Drill!!!”
McCain – “This is all Obama’s fault- if he had not lost I wouldn’t have to prove my foreign policy ignorance.”
Pailin – “don’t worry sir, I’ve got Hasselbeck to insure your image isn’t tarnished. On the way to the airport I will also resolve our double digit unemployment – I propose diminishing all taxes for all individuals, families or corporations earning over $5,000,000 and increasing taxes on the middle class (since there are so many in the middles class we can get more from them than there are Rich folks). By the way, I’d like a few million dollars to pay off Wasilla’s debt that I left it with when I was mayor- I tried hard but a budget surplus was impossible!”
McCain – “Sarah, i’m having a heart attack. Keep up the good fight- steal from the poor, downtrodden and prey then turn around and provide handouts to the wealthy, investment bankers, hedge fund managers and lobbyists that put us into office. Don’t promote education- it will undermine our base . . . . they will see through our rhetoric and look back at bush II admin and see it for what it really was, a failure”

If they had asked a more prominent female voice in the conservative cirles, it would, well be of mentioning. But, Eliz. who the “h” is Eliz.? This girl went from Survivor to a basic no frills talk show. She holds no credibility nor does she reeks of life experience….
So the fact that she can defend/campaign for someone whom can’t seem to answer even basic questions regarding policy matters or govt. functions is beyond me. Not to mention her charging Alaska’s taxpayers for ANY and EVERY thing related to her family…She, Palin, should be on trial right along side Ted Stevens…
The voters of Alaska would be stupid to return her to office. I bet they had no idea the level of her incompetence, lack of BASIC knowledge, corruption, etc. Well, her future running mates will have lots of ammo now.
Regardless, the article just proves Eliz. is as much of a hypocrite as are all the rest of the holier than thou Reps. It also proves she is about as smart as Palin herself….As for the clothes, Eliz. knows damn well had that been Michelle Obama or Joe Biden she’d be outraged. I’m sick of this dumb bobble headed Rep. idiot defending what is indefensible. One cannot defend someone with a net worth of over a million dollars charging their clothes to the tax payer….And with that level of wealth, so much for her being just like you all. I bet she isn’t stressing over holiday expenses or even everyday expenses for that matter.
As for you McCain supporters, you mean to tell me you people don’t mind having an unbalanced guy for Pres and an idiot for VP? You people sicken me. I wish we could do what Sarah’s husband suggest and kicked you all out of the union. Kicked you out and let you go an be govern by your idiot masters…..

Well, Olga, I have a PhD. Am I qualified to comment on Palin’s intelligence?
I’ve had very little experience of Hasselbeck, but from what I’ve seen, if I were John McCain, I wouldn’t want her to support my candidacy. She’s, er, decorative but quite obviously not very bright or well informed. McCain and Palin really needed to attract the support of less intellectually-challenged figures. I think it’s too late for them now.

She should have some support but Barbara Walters prefers to have 5 far left radicals against one conservative- she thinks that produces a balanced VIEW !!! Well Barbara we VIEWED your affair with that married black politician and how you BRAGGED about it and we were not amused. Thou shalt not commit adultery BABS – ever hear of the 10 Commandments ??

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a stereotypical blonde joke. Has she even got a brain? She is such an idiot. I “View” her as the comedic relief for the show — though sometimes I just feel sad when listening to her rant and rave. Does she even have a clue? The “View” should dump her!!!
As for introducing Palin, isn’t that like the “blonde leading the blind”?
Better learn to spew hatred a bit better and not just rely on your “normal” lunacy and stupidity. That is if you want to hang with McSlime and Flailin…
Elisabeth, you give us blondes a bad name. We’re trying hard to ditch the old stereotype. Can’t you stop your stooping and rise to the occasion and help the rest of us blondes out? We’re tired of being the brunt of jokes and you sure are NOT helping in that regard any…

Although the economy is a good platform to run with, security is probably a little more of a concern. Who will continue the military cutbacks? Obama or McCain? Clinton started it, will Obama finish it?

Wow – she’s grasping at straws. I don’t care if every mommy in the country unites throws diapers at the White House until McCain is elected…. if he wins and we’re stuck with her hanging in the wings – about all that will ever get done is diaper changing. I’m sure that if this doesn’t work out for her, PlayBoy could be a very profitable venture for her. Her appearance on SNL wasn’t even funny – the comedians made it funny. At least when McCain guest appeared on SNL he was hilarious – poking fun at himself and others. She’s a one dimensional, inexperienced person – and she’s well suited for her small Alaskan environment. Let her, and her narrow-minded way of thinking stay in the frozen tundra where she belongs.

It is very easy for Hasselbeck to support the Republican party because neither she nor her husband have any understanding or sense of “real people” or “real lives”. Her “career” is based on a successful appearance on a reality show and he plays pro football. Boy, just like you and me, huh? Workin’ so hard for their money, never quite catching that American dream… Her whole tirade on Tuesday about her indignation with the notion of “sharing the wealth” was extremely telling. Asking her to campaign with Palin is just further evidence that McCain “doesn’t get it” and never will.

Well, here’s the difference about botox and Biden and Palin and 150k worth of clothes:
1. The clothes are a fact, the Botox is ‘supposed,’ as The View Host notes. Answering a fact with a speculation doesn’t work too effectively.
2. Biden is not running on being a man untouch by Botox…Palin is running on being ‘one of us.’ The clothes expenditure negates that argument…

The phrase “drink the kool aid” is not a racial reference it is a reference to the fact that Kool Aid was used to deliver the cyanide to the cult members in Jim Jones’ Guyana cult mass-suicide. It is a disgusting reference implying that anyone who thinks differently is a brainwashed cult member. Further, it seems to make light of a terrible tragedy. It should not be used lightly or throw around. And since it’s a favorite phrase of Bill O’Reilly’s it should probably be avoided by anyone who wishes to maintain a shred of credibility.

I don’t care what Hasselback say’s she is a racist and it is now confirmed by the endorsement. Palin is the ultimate joke. If they had thier way this country would be nothing but white, gun toting, 4 wheeling, country music listening, drill baby drill, no tolerence for anything but what they think America. I believe it would be like the book 1984 in a social sense, that if you weren’t a white, christian homophobe you aren’t worth anything. Well ladies the party’s coming to an end for all you WASP’s.

Good for Elisabeth. I’m sure she will be a great asset to the McCain/Palin ticket. It’s great that Hasselback can see right through the Obama lies. The democrats spew hateful things like Murtha’s never ending out of touch insults and other congressemen accusing McCain and Palin are racists. But no! What about the democrat in Florida paying his mistresses with tax money? No, anything to make Palin look bad!It’s okay to let Joy Behar spew her idiotic views, but it’s NOT okay to let Elisabeth let her views known? Oh, the scandal for a conservative thinker! The left wants tolerance, just as long as that “tolerance” concurs with their views! Joy and company has no clue on taxes and other political issues.Give me a break ABC! Then again, I’m sure Joy Behar doesn’t have to worry about her job since it isn’t a small business that will close thanks to Obama!

KC – it goes to show that Hasselbeck is the typical mommy who is trying to have an opinion. She’s a breeder. She should be at home changing diapers. Whether or not people see it as picking the lesser of a few evils, Obama is the only chance this country has. McCain is THE TYPICAL Republican, loaded with money – out of touch with real people like us, and fully intent on continuing with Bush started. Out of McCain’s own mouth – he voted with Buch 90% of the time. That says it all. McCain = the same, Obama = change.

mrg32534 -
No need for Obama to get to the 70′s, we have Bush to thank for where we are. Sure interest rates are lower, but no one can afford what they have unless you make more than $250,000/year!
The economy is in the toilet, don’t infer that things are o.k. and they will get worse if Obama becomes president.
Things are bad because of a republican, and they will get worse if we get a new republican. Obama is a change to the new generation – that actually knows how to lead (like Clinton did – remember surplus and diminished debt).
Bush/McCain/Pailin = corruption, war, increased debt, largest terrorist attacks in our history (and continuing), weak dollars, huge unemployment, limited prospects. Yes, Bush created jobs, what he didn’t tell you is that they were at half the salary than the ones he lost for our workforce!

We’ll be slaves again!? Because McCain wants justices that will uphold the constitution, she thinks she will be a slave again, when was she a slave, another life? What a stupid racist beaitch. However Elizabeth Hasselbeck adds a layer of intelligence, refinement and etiquette without which the program would have nothing to offer.

Those idiots will never have to pay the money that the democrats promise to give to the poor so of course it sounds good to them. I will have to pay it, because the ONLY people who will be stuck paying for the poors check that thye have been promised by YOUR beloved, OBAMA is the working and middle class.

Elizabeth might listen to Hanity and colmes but at least they balance their views for readers to see and hear. One is Conservative, one is very liberal. O’Reilly is fair to both Obama and McCain and he asks tough questions of both of them. Joyand Whoopie are on the Keith Olbermann roller coaster and they also side with MSNBC. Olbermann is out of control – he seriously has mental issues and is deranged…his veins pop out of his head and he breathes fire when something unflattering is said about Obama the man hes in love with. Then theres Chrissy Matthews who gets tingles up his leg when Obama speaks. Good company Joy and Whoopie- hang with them and the President elect – born in Kenya but able to deceive the idiots at the DNC thanks to Dona Brazile.

Palin will be in Fort Wayne, IN Sat. night.People are actually waiting outside in line to get tickets. Maybe they just want to see which Sak’s outfit she will be wearing. We don’t have a Saks in Ft. Wayne. Most of the ladies I know would not buy Saks even if they could afford to. Spending $150K on a wardrobe in these terrible economic times was outrageous! I just hope someone in Ft.

I’d like to say also that the racial tension surrounding this election is….mmmm…. delicious. As a white woman raised in the South, who deplores racism in every sense – I LOVE to see this White America so shaken up. Terrified – that if Obama wins, we’ll all have to cornrow our hair and listen to Public Enemy. A mere 40 or so years after the civil rights movement, an eloquent, educated black man (to white people he’s black enough to be called such), who’s gone through being on food stamps, watching his mother die with no insurance – the product of a single parent home, actually has the chance to be President of the United States. THAT, my dear, is the American Dream in fruition. Something has got to change – for too long, we’ve allowed rich, racist white men to run this country – I hope that if Obama wins, it changes the face of this nation to other countries. And I hope “presidents” like Bush become a thing of the past.

Elisabeth is a honest, moral and strong woman and Gov. Palin made a great choice in asking her to the rally. From what I see in the women and men who are representing Obama, such as Elisabeths co-host, Joy, they are nothing but angry, bitter, hateful people and from what I am reading on this site who are representing Obama, you are one and the same. What does this say about Obama having people like that represent him? His own running mate does not have confidence in him. At the VP Debate when asked what he would be doing as a VP his response was that he would be sitting right next to Obama HELPING him make ALL the decisions. Why did the news ignore that comment? So tell me who exactly is running, Obama or Biden? Lets not forget the comment about that if Obama wins then we will have to worry about some kind of crisis in 6 mos. Wake up and get the Donkey out of your butts!! OH, AND YES THIS IN NOT ONLY BREAKING NEWS IT IS GREAT NEWS! Congrats Elisabeth, you represent us well and I am PROUD to have you on my side.

Stop your Republican way of thinking and remember that simple minded people are lead simply – all McCain has to do to get votes is say “I’m against abortion, homosexuality and I’m a Christian” and then people follow him. Open your eyes – it’s a bigger playing field than that.

Regarding kissing your 401(k) goodbye…..Have you looked at your stock statements lately? If you are content to buy a cup of coffee and a sale DVD from the dollar store have fun on your retirement.
What scares me about Palin is that she seems to be the classic trailer trash who gets schemes to get money without really paying her dues. Like someone on the down and out who wins the lottery and is broke within three years. Well, her time is almost up. She spent more on clothes in one day than I have spent in my entire life. She sure doesn’t represent me. Is she ashamed of what she really is? Why the $4,700 on hair and makeup? For that kind of money she should have at least gotten plastic surgery. Even the high end cosmetics would only total a couple hundred dollars.
Hasselback (who is more like robo-host parroting the GOP talking points and can’t answer questions or carry on a conversation without reciting points) and Palin should be a riot on the stage together doing their pageant recitations.)

I’m constantly embarrassed for both Elizabeth and Sarah. They are both in the same category…they have memorized a set of lies and spue them out verbatim on a daily basis. It’s like their leadership has set forth the example: keep telling the same lie, it becomes familiar sounding and seems to become truth…people begin to believe it. A lie doesn’t care who tells it. But what these three same category (morons) forget is that people are concerned about their money, jobs, ending the war, sending their kids to college, 95% tax breaks…America is focused and will not be distracted by lies, hatred, vile, and all this other negative madness being spued like venum.
We will simply vote like never before. The more lies Elizabeth, Sarah, and John tell, the more determined we become to Get Out The Vote! Keep lying, that’s what you do best! I guess McCain wants us to wait until after the 4th for the freeze on spending!
If you can’t keep a vow to a disabled wife, how can disabled women trust you? It’s asking too much to bring a moron and a drug addict to the White House…say it ain’t so!

TJ – McCain: “I voted with the President 90% of the time.” Look where Bush has gotten us.
Hey did BUSH STOP ABORTION? No.
Did BUSH stop gay marriage? Apparently not.
My point is that people like yourself harp on one issue. Abortion. Gay marriage. Look – I’m not saying I agree with either, or that I don’t – I’m just saying there are bigger fish to fry. The economy is in shambles – people are losing their homes, we’re spending 10 billion dollars a month on a war with no purpose – yet all simple minded people can think about it abortion. Or gay marriage. You will never stop abortion, even if the president votes against abortion laws. YOU will NEVER stop gays from being together. EVER EVER EVER. But with the right president this economy can turn around, and we can change some things.

Governor Palin is a very intelligent woman of incredible strength who has served the people of Alaska well. As Governor, Sarah Palin has the highest approval rating in the nation.
The media, and Senator Obama’s campaign are relentless in their attempt to discredit Governor Palin with petty negativity, while Governor Palin’s popularity on the national scene continues to soar.
Governor Palin will bring reform to Washington, as she has done in Alaska.

McCain’s camp does know that Hasselback is the least liked on the View and that there was hope that she was actually leaving the show recently.

Besides running for “something,” Obama jasn’t done much. Couple him with “Joe the Bumbler” with a socialistic agenda, it’s scary to say the least!

I dare ya. Oh, and just for validity, DID YOU GO TO College and where do you get the majority of your political news? Are you like Hasselback….do you start to stutter when asked to intelligently back up their claims on why McFarse/Moron will be better than Obama other than “he’s a Muslim, he’s a terrorist, blah blah,” If you’re so concerned about terrorists, why don’t you explain William Timmons to us?

Look –
We all saw how Sarah Palin reacts under the least little bit of pressure (for example, her interviews with Katie Couric and that other guy, I forget his name)
She couldn’t even answer simple questions!!! Once you ask her something about the real world, she freezes and starts to break down into nonsense and stammers, like a 12 year-old girl. She’s a NINNY.
If she can’t take pressure from the American press, how on earth can she STAND UP TO THE CHALLENGES OF DEALING WITH IRAN, CHINA and IRAQ?
Seriously, what a nitwit this woman is! She really is “Caribou Barbie.”
Posted by: Patience | October 23, 2008, 1:14 pm 1:14 pm
I can just imagine a McCain/Pailin administration.
Advisor – “Pres. McCain, Iran has spewed hateful american rhetoric and denounced the continued existence of Israel”
McCain – “I will not allow America to be threatened, bullied or pushed around. Sarah, go gain some foreign policy experience and provide me with some advice”
Pailing – “Yes sir, I’ll head out to the airport and as planes fly overhead I’ll gain valuable foreign policy experience and if I time it correctly I’ll be under a plane with Iranian diplomats on board to get an even greater insight into how they think. In the meantime I’ll send the First Dude to complain to the U.N. and demand that Ahmadinejad be terminated for his vile comments. by the way, I’ll need a new wardrobe for the airport assignment and I’m taking my daughters and Bristol’s dropout husband. In the meantime, I suggest you Drill, baby, Drill!!!”
McCain – “This is all Obama’s fault- if he had not lost I wouldn’t have to prove my foreign policy ignorance.”
Pailin – “don’t worry sir, I’ve got Hasselbeck to insure your image isn’t tarnished. On the way to the airport I will also resolve our double digit unemployment – I propose diminishing all taxes for all individuals, families or corporations earning over $5,000,000 and increasing taxes on the middle class (since there are so many in the middles class we can get more from them than there are Rich folks). By the way, I’d like a few million dollars to pay off Wasilla’s debt that I left it with when I was mayor- I tried hard but a budget surplus was impossible!”
McCain – “Sarah, i’m having a heart attack. Keep up the good fight- steal from the poor, downtrodden and prey then turn around and provide handouts to the wealthy, investment bankers, hedge fund managers and lobbyists that put us into office. Don’t promote education- it will undermine our base . . . . they will see through our rhetoric and look back at bush II admin and see it for what it really was, a failure”

As an Independent voter I, along with many others, looked forward to voting against the Rep. and getting them the hell out of town.
The Democratic candidates looked promising, Hillary mostly. However, Hillary didn’t win, Barack did. I wasn’t sold on Brack at first, but soon came to be.
I mostly became sold on him when: Republicans attempted to define him as some celebrity elitest, inexperienced, untested and unstable, out of touch, a person of poor judgment and so forth.
All of those factors sold me on him, but what really sold me on him was the selection of Sarah Palin. I’d always admired McCain and when he won the nomination, I thought I just might be voting Rep. again afterall. But, under no circumstance(s) will I vote for McCain with her on the ticket. Her being on the ticket is contradictory to Country First. She isn’t qualified to run a corner drug store, let alone a nation.
So, all the lables the Republicans attempted to apply to Obama, actually now apply to McCain/Palin. Everything they attempted to define him as, REALLY does now apply to McCain himself.
Therefore, I don’t care if the Pope stumps for the McCain/Palin ticket, they will still NOT get my vote.
I have lost respect for McCain and the Republican party as a whole. And, it will take more than Elizabeth Hasslebeck to restore it.

Hasselbeck likes to talk about how much she loves the GOP and bash the Democratics as she ignores reasons and logics her co-stars provide.
When other members of the View talks about their points, they back it up with reason and evidence.
Hasselbeck just like to chrip in from time to time when she sees an opportunity for negative attacks on Obama.
She is like a little girl who refuses to listen to her parents and try to run away with a drug addict.
She shouldn’t be on the View because that show is suppose to be about Intelligent women having conversations about the world today. She is not listening to anyone but herself on the show.
Another self-centered, shallow but pretty GOP barbie doll.

Maybe the RNC will pay for the gals to go on a shopping spree to look pretty for the rally. Don’t want Cindy, Lizzy, and Sarah’s outfits clashing on-stage. McCain’s beauties always need to be “top drawer” when they’re in the public eye.

In the energy industry – “build it and they will come” does not apply!
Just like her bridge to nowhere – yes right, I forgot she didn’t support it (after it became a political liability); just like the debt she left Wasilla with- it had no budget problems until she arrived on the scene and left the town with 20 million in debt!
No wonder she wants to make sure the dollar remains weak – so that when it’s worthless she can handout 20million to wasilla to pay off the enormous debt she saddled the poor town with!

If McCain makes it, he’ll reduce taxes on EVERYONE, including business. Investments will flourish, economy will grow, and jobs will be created.

NIA – I agree that the image was racist (the dollar bill including the chicken, watermellon etc.), however, the inclusion of the kool aid container was not a crude reference to racism, but rather to Obama supporters (calling them kool aid drinkers – ie, blindly following the message of change). The phrase has been used long before any mention of Obama, with its use aimed at politicians and supporters of both the Dem and Rep side. Attempting to imply that Hasselback meant anything other than the phrase’s typical use is unfair.

Great – Pailin will keep a secret. Guess what, everyone the world over knows that if a repube is elected that the U.S. Dollar will take an even greater slide, the economy will go nowhere, and 95% of americans that are not wealthy will be out of jobs and selling anything they can to survive the longest depression this world has ever seen.
But at least Pailin will be able to keep all that a secret while the world only speculates. Will she also keep secret all the tax dollars she spends on her wardrobe, her kids travels paid for by taxpayers, the fact that she is truly ignorant of any international affairs. . .
What secrets she keeps are worthless if she doesn’t know how to act on anything. Perhaps she can ask putin how to proceed when she gets confused- because it’s obvious Couric is way to sophisticated for Pailins intelligence!

Cliff, Palins negative ratings are higher than her positives. Try checking polls that are from this year…
Im just surprised Caribou Barbie has any ratings at all considering she has been in GOP quarantine lock-down since Gramps McSame picked her.

And I love especially, if any of you watched the Tina Fey skits, she repeated ver batum many things that Sarah Palin said. Sarah’s so scripted in her debates – they taught her to avoid speaking about things she doesn’t understand. She almost dribbles on herself when confronted with a real question. She has this “Rootin’ tootin’, gosh darnit, you betcha!” dialect, that to (yet again) simple minded Republicans, she sounds like she’s gonna get the job done. But she couldn’t answer a square question to save her life. Perhaps all the ultra conservative Republicans should move with her to the Alaskan tundra, and you all could form your own little utopia – free from homosexuals, abortion, other religions, and of course – people that are darker than cotton. Doesn’t that sound nice? Hurry up – go! You could help Alaska’s economy!

OMG now they are analyzing the word ” kool aid”..Puh lezz …..We didnt get mad when Michelle Obama said Its our TURN now !!! WE didnt call that racist….. WE didnt call it racist when Michelle said yesterday that Obama will be the underdog until he gets in the White House – hello he is the front runner !!!! So stop all the racist stuff…just cuz we dont trust him because of his ASSOCIATIONS and voting reocrd – doesnt mean we are racist.

Maybe Logan42 should run for office instead of Palin. A lot more intelligent than the old girl. Fact is that Palin has only done one action in deploying the National Guard and that was to serve as support to another state as part of disaster relief. The military is fully capable of monitoring Russia and do not seek the advice of the Gov. The military runs that base not Palin. We would be lucky to know if she even knows where the base is. She has no national security experience, intelligence of any sort. If she did, it would have been on display a long time ago. She keeps secrets because she isn’t told or it goes through her head like what a VP does.
Posted by: George | October 23, 2008, 1:40 pm 1:40 pm
Couple of things…
First and foremost Palin is requesting a celebrity to support her campaign with no political background except for her personal beliefs and similar gender and yet criticizes Obama for being more of a celebrity than a statesman.
Secondly, this word “socialism” has been thrown around with very little weight due to Obama’s approach to more government intervention and regulation towards free market since capitalism has been abused and thus look where we are now. However, if you look at the domestic economic policies this year that has been passed in Feb ’08 they are already have been “socialistic” because of the economic forecast.
Thirdly, the Republican campaign tactic has been so tactless and desperate as to go so far to requesting Elisabeth Hasselbeck… consistent with her core beliefs, popular attractiveness and a former “Survivor” which will likely to say for the least of Palin herself in the coming days.

Cliff-
80% approval rating in a state with a population of appx. 700,000. Great – you got me, I quit, I’ll vote for McCain (NOT!).
McCain and Pailin will lose on 11/4 and then she will not get re-elected. Now that alaskans know the truth about her, they will not be swindled twice!
She snake oiled alaska once but it won’t happen twice.
As for your comment about bimbos in alaska. Never said that- but this one is definitely in over her head and drowning quickly. Her failures are being exposed at a rapid rate- just like the republican policy failures of the past 8 years!!!
Bush/McCain = depression, debt, 2 wars without victory (i.e. republicans are horrible at prosecuting wars to victory).

JoeShmoe – “Caribou Barbie has any ratings at all considering she has been in GOP quarantine” – I saw a snippet of an interview that will be on the NBC news tonight of an interview with her. Apparently, the campaign would only agree if she had Senator McCain with her. Do they realize how bad that makes her look? Complain about the MSM all you want, but you really can’t combat the image of her with Senator McCain next to her as backup.

Lindsey Lohan tried to volunteer for the Obama campaign. Maybe she could go around and introduce Joe Biden. Biden says something stupid almost every time he opens his mouth but the media always gives him a pass. How is Biden more qualified when he thinks President Roosevelt went on TV after the 1929 stock market crash to calm people down or after 36 years in the Senate he doesn’t know that the Vice President presides over the Senate? And I think it is absolutely despicable that Biden has embellished the tragic story of his wife and daughter’s death by falsely saying on numerous occasions that they were killed by a drunk driver when the investigation showed no evidence of alcohol. What a tool!!!

Reading this has been very entertaining.
But breaking news it is not. I love how the GOP was against everything before they choose to use the tactic in their own campaign.
Their reaction is simple jealousy of an intelligent and gifted man running a pretty much honest campaign (I wish he’d stop saying 95% will get tax cuts when the figure is fact checked as 87%) and inspiring this poor shuddering nation with hope but more importantly PURPOSE for the coming years. McCain/Palin is washed up, with it’s same ole stuff and dirty neocon tricks.

Palin can see Russia from her house. Well thats better than Obama who cant see the slums of chicago from where he lives because he lives in the ritzy area. All that Rezko money and Obama couldn’t clean up the city or cut back on the notorious murder rate. Imagine that !! Now if he had “only spewnt 5 hours on Rezko” we could understand this neglect. But we know it was an ongoing 10 year relationship so once again Barry lied on national TV – hes gotten better at it since then too. Now he doesnt know Ayers was a terrorist although he went to HARVARD – and he never heard those sermons. Lies you cannot believe in folks and theres plenty more to come from President elect- born in Kenya !!!

PlaneWizard -
The economy is in the tank because of crappy republican policies during the past 8 years (primarily the first 6 of Bush’s admin).
Bush:
1) prosecuted war in iraq- even though al-qaeda was in afghanistan;
2) to avenge the threat on his daddy’s life by taking out saddam;
3) wanted to redistribute wealth to oil companies and defense contractors;
4) wanted to pump our economy with so much cash that it devalued the dollar;
5) succeed at many task but only did so with one enormous task – destroying the u.s. economy;
6) destroy saddam but failed at achieving any meaningful victory in iraq;
7) has failed at providing a budget surplus or achieving a balanced budge and has increased the national debt (and continues to do so);
8) has partially nationalized our banking system (WHO IS THE SOCIALIST)!!!
Bush and McCain not only say anything to get elected, they will do anything to achieve the goals they don’t tell any people about – that they wish to redistribute wealth to a small cadre of wealthy republicans and tax the hell out of middle-class and poor americans!
Bush/Cheney and all the rest of the republicans should be tried for treason .
They are all imbeciles – they got us into this mess – I DON”T TRUST THEM TO GET US OUT!

The current Congress has half the approval rating of President Bush but they expect their numbers to grow. Amazing. Let’s face it. It has not been in this Congress’ self interest to actually help improve the economy. Democrats know that when the economy goes bad Americans blame the President, when in actuality the President cannot spend, tax, or borrow a single dime without the approval of Congress. In 2006 the Democrats promised us change if we gave them control of Congress. We did and look at what has happened since. Are you better off now than you were two years ago?

RE: Post by Already Voted I’m not sure but much of the hate and name calling seems to be a generational gap. Churchill said it best. “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.” Young people today are used to being given so much without any effort or responsibility. It is no wonder that they expect the same from government. I saw a sign a few years on a church that read “Teach your children to accept their responsibilities before they demand their rights.” We have not done a very good job of that.

Superclyde; Perhaps, just perhaps we’re where we should be with regard to Iraq & Afghanistan. Remember, Iran is sitting right between Iraq & Afghanistan;
Lets recap, because if you’re like many young people I’ve talked to, you know NOTHING about 1979, and the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran oveerthrew their government and stormed the US Embassy in Tehran. They captured & tortured US personnel, for like 455 days (I don’t know exact figure). They implemented Islamic law, and killed or otherwise got rid of most non-muslims in the country, especially any that had dealings with the pervious government.
The end came when Reagan was elected president because Carter had peanut shells for a nut sack!
So now, Iran is even crazier than before, they are developing nuclear weapons and god knows what else, and you want to pull out – wholesale??
We have the evil “Ones” surrounded, and “The One” will get us out of there withing three months of getting elected.
Sorry pal, I don’t buy it. We’re a force to recon with in the region, and as much as you, I and everyone else don’t like it, considere the aalternatives for the region should Iran become a nuclear power with crazy, lunitic islamic fasicists in charge?
Think a LOT about it, because the won’t play “nice-nice” as you think they will when kum-by-ya Obama gets elected.

professroj must be one of those 3000 idiots who signed a petition in Chicago to stop “demonizing ” William Ayers !!!!I guess its ok with him if we bomb more buildings and kill more police officers. It doesnt seem to bother Obama in the least. He has all kinds of neighbors like this – its no big deal in Chicago- radical cess pool that it is. He can find neighbors like that for all of you too just vote for Barry!!

billy bob – “Lets blame Bush for all of our problems” – It’s not a matter of blame, it a matter of accountability. Today, Alan Greenspan admitted that unfettered capitalism w/o regulation is a mistake. Can’t we expect the same out of the President or is it too high a standard to actually expect this administration to admit that everything hasn’t gone exactly as planned?

Elizabeth – This is good and welcomed. Since Sarah Palin has been so smeared and discriminated against by the left wing media it takes great courage for a Media type person, like yourself, to endorse McCain/Palin, especially if you are female. Look at what they did to Hillary. Hillary said the only news/TV outlet that treated her fairly was, of all things, FOXNEWS. God Bless….

I do like Elisabeth Hasselbeck, she makes the view fun and exciting just like the other ladies, I may not agree with her views or her choice for President, but I like her. And looking at this board, you wonder why the world has a low view of us. People can not have a difference of opinion, without hateful words said, instead of the issues we have to attack people. Instead of looking for truths people will beleive blindly instead of searching out the truth. Case and point the story of Michelle Obama with the Room service bill, she was not even in NY that day. The NY Post at the retract that article, and the author said his source will pay for the untruth told. Look for the facts yourself instead of being lead by your noses, that is if you want the truth.

to SuperClyde- please tell us how you know without a doubt that Obama is not a Muslim ? Do you live with him or does he tuck you inside his pants everywhere he goes ?? Now even if he is, which he did speak to George Stepanopoulis about his “Muslim faith” – it might not matter to some people. However to the families of the victims of 911 it would matter alot !!! Also, when Obama surrounds himself with so many radicals that hate America – the American people should start to wonder about his judgement !!

Please don’t add to the ignorance on these postings by not doing your research before blowing off your mouth…she is of course married to Tim, brother of Matt, and plays in of all places…..Arizona.

She’s campaigning for McCain, not Palin.

McCain & 18 GOP senators sent this to Congress May 5, 2006. Obama didn’t sign it
We are concerned that if effective regulatory reform legislation for the housing-finance government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) is not enacted this year, American taxpayers will continue to’beexposed to the enourmous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. Therefore, we offer you our support in bringing the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act (S. 190) to the floor and allowing the Senate to debate the merits of this bill, which was passed by the Senate Banking Committee.
Congress chartered Fannie and Freddie to provide access to home financing by maintaining liquidity in the secondary mortgage market. Today, almost half of all mortgages in the U.S. are owned or guaranteed by these GSEs.
They are mammoth financial institutions’ with almost $1.5 Trillion of debt outstanding between them. With the fiscal challenges facing us today (deficits, entitlements, pensions and flood insurance), Congress must ask itself who would actually pay this debt if Fannie or Freddie could not?
Substantial testimony calling for improved regulation of the GSEs has been provided to the Senate by the Treasury, Federal Reserve, HUD, GAO, CBO, and others. Congress has the opportunity to recommit itself to the housing mission of the GSEs while at the same time making sure the GSEs operate in a manner that does not expose our financial system, or taxpayers, to unnecessary risk.
It is vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that these institutions benefit from strong and independent regulatory supervision, operate in a safe and sound manner, and are primarily focused on their statutory mission. More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event either GSE should fail. We strongly support an effort to schedule floor time this year to debate GSE regulatory reform.
Sincerely,
19 GOP senatore, including John McCain

Superclyde-
I know Obama isn’t a Muslim, and it wouldn’t matter to me if he was, I still would have voted for him over McCain (is a past-tense explanation needed? My absentee ballot has been in for over a week, now). Since my vote is cast, I now spend my time trying to find the humor in all of this, and share…
Sorry to try to inject some humor; I of course have _no_ idea what religion the poster “Kerry” is, either… the “Buddhist” thing was an attempt at an ironic play on the anonymity of blog comments. As with the presidency, religion is irrelevant to what a person posts here; one’s take on the issues is what matters.

November 5, 2008… Thanks EH, for helping the GOP slip in the polls and ultimately, the election!
As a women with great self-esteem, I commend you on your efforts to stand up for what you believe in. Let me say, however, that when it’s all over for the GOP, please take a look at yourself on the screen for the last few months.
You have been afforded a great opportunity to speak up for what you believe, and that is what makes this country great. It is a shame, however, that you expressed yourself in a childlike manner most of the time… interrupting others, speaking over others, responding to most issues out of context with your well rehearsed GOP speaking points.
Your freedom of speech is great… however your rhetoric was non-unifying and did not put the ‘country first’. EH and the GOP you regularly incited fear and hate from those who affiliate with your ideas, to the rest of the citizens of the USA. These words and actions are deplorable and demonstrate an insidious form of domestic terror.
And YES, the kool-aid reference was inappropriate, cavalier, and laced with racial undertones. EH, you (as usual) have no clue how your words come across.
But again, I say, THANKS for helping Obama/Biden win this election… I think you said “Barak Obama” more than any other person with a mic and a camera. Keep up the bashingly productive work.

Religion – is not a condition for being president just as much as being pro-life isn’t a condition of being president.
A similar question could be asked of McCain – do you know if he’s really Christian? Do you if he gave up any actionable intelligence while he was a POW?
The fact is that no one on this board could answer these questions and quite frankly they are red herrings used only to bait a pointless discussion.
Do you know anything for a fact? You DON’T and while you may think my response is stupid, dumb or a non-answer the fact is that your post was obfuscating the true point – a particular religion isn’t a requirement to be president of the United States of AMerica.
Quit attempting to use fear tactics and address the issues.
And while your at it – do you know for a fact that Pres. Bush didn’t know the towers were going to be attacked? Well do you? FOR A FACT- you can’t answer that with actual factual knowledge since the only one who can is Pres. Bush and right now his credibility is in the toilet.

I watch the view and I will admit that some times Joy comes off pretty angry, but I undertand why. When you work with someone like Elisabeth you have to have a lot of patience. Whenever someone asks Elisabeth a question about John McCain or Sarah Palin instead of answering the question or defending the republican standpoint she always say things like, well what about when Barack Obama did this or that? That is something that children do when they know they don’t have a leg to stand on or they’ve been caught doing something wrong, they try to throw the attention onto someone else. If that’s the type of person republicans emulate, then by all means you can have her. But the fact remains that up until 3 days ago Sarah Palin still did not have a clear view of exactly what the VP of the United States does. She claims she has more executive experience that Barack Obama, but she doesn’t know that the Vice Presidential duties she has described herself having are legislative duties. You want to be lead by someone like that by all means. But the rest of us are smarter than that.

Superclyde; Good, then you know how dangerous Iran can be, yet Obama has already said; “we’re outta there when I become Prez.” He’d have to because his credibility would look bad. So all the money & blood will be spent for nothing!
Obama will want to be a monday morning-quarterback, and will blame it on the economy; which I do agree that the war was partially to blame for getting us in this mess. Yet,,,his closest military advisor will be Powell, who I guess, just wants to save his face for history’s sake.
Regardless, we’re there and we should stay there until Iran normalizes again.

All you republicans better hope Obama win or your life is going to be f–ked like the rest of us.

What a laugh! Hasselbeck’s biggest claims to fame are: 1) being a losing contestant on the first season of the “Survivor”…a low-brow tv show;
2) marrying an athlete, a by-product of being on the low-brow tv show; 3) being a co-host on benign morning talk show, also as a by-product of being on the low-brow tv show; 4) her penchant for interrupting and amplifying her right wing-nut views at about a 120 decibel shrill!

Elizabeth is a female version of Guliani minus the brains. She is so far to the right and seems to speak in the same closed-minded, falsely attacking, down right lieing, voice of her conservative base! I tune her out as she makes comments that have no substance. Come to think of it, her and Palin are two peas in a pod!

to Super and Plane- I read reports that indicate Bush and company may have been aware of the attacks. I couldn’t even imagine that years ago until I read alot of things that did not add up knowing the security in this country. If the reports are true then George Bush will burn in eternity. He is also responsible for this Iraq mess and he will pay for that one day- there is a God- that I DO believe. Vote for your candidate and lets hope that whoever gets in turns this country around and restores the respect and love that we once felt from other countries and from our own citizens who deserve better than what we had in the last 8 years- although 51 million of them made this happen with their last vote in 2004 !!

PlaneWizard -
Your right – we can’t look back. I can only vote on the situation on the ground. When I was in the Army I was trained to adapt, overcome and survive. The current economic tremors, security issues and potential future all point to Obama.
Quite frankly- McCain makes me feel uneasy, unclear and unsure of where he will take the country. His erratic behavior may be how he deals with issues but even if he deals well with issues (which I don’t think he would do any better than obama) I have ENORMOUS concern about his untimely death and then having Pailin as Pres.
While Pailin is attractive (and arguably politically savvy), her responses to questions have been the musings of a scatter brained 9 grader in speech class.
McCain’s age is a factor- one that can’t be ignored even with Dr. reports of his good health. In obama I vote for a president, in McCain I vote for the possibility of two presidents and in short – Pailin is just not as ready as Obama . ..
Posted by: Superclyde | October 23, 2008, 3:00 pm 3:00 pm
Sarah Palin does not owe anyone anything, her life is out there in the open and she has nothing to hide; McCain has integrity, honesty and leadership. His life will always be about serving America, doing what is right for America. He deserves and is highly qualified to be the president of America.
Do you think Hussein Obama owe the radical left (Ayers, et al) anything for keeping quiet about his affiliation with them? Will these friends by association come knocking once he is elected president? Is he part of the sleeper cell? What exactly has he accomplished (180 days in the senate and did not pass any significant work nor did he shine in the senate; never been a governor or mayor; hobnobbed with corrupt and radical people in Chicago). Do you really want this guy to be your commander in chief when he has a shady past which he will not talk about in the open?
Look at the whole picture and not be ruled by emotions when you vote. Face the fact that the economy will not be fixed within 8 years by Obama or McCain; the economy will turn around only by the effort of Americans, the people.

Democrats = tax breaks for those making LESS than $250,000 a year
Republicans = tax breaks for those making MORE than $250,000 a year
If you’re making MORE than $250,000 a year, clearly Republicans are your choice!

You cannot blame Bush for the economy. I worked for NWA and after 9-11 things changed immediately. You cannot run an airline when you lose passengers. The terroists accomplished what they set out to do and that was the murder of our people and the ruin of our economy. I am thankful that we had a President that stood up for us otherwise they would be right here in our country with their suicide bombers. I suppose you Demo’s would like that. Saddam was right in the middle of it and I will never believe that there was not Weapons of Mass Destruction there. We gave them more than sufficient time to get rid of them. Your stupid if you thing otherwise. If we were not in Iraq then the terrorists would be there terrorizing not only us but the Iraqi people and surround Arab countries. They don’t seem to be prejudice on whom they murder. The would be training there and becoming stronger, Is that what you Demo’s want?? You should thank him and all our brave Military. Obama is who the terrorist want in the White House, ask yourself why???

Superclyde; That’s what makes America an interestiing place. My only concern is that I want to keep it the “United States of America, instead of the Socialistic States of America.
To be honest, I love socialism, and adore communism. I do! However, man’s inherient greed would never allow it to truly work.
I saw it on a copmmune in the 70′s in WVa. For two years it was free “everything” (god, I’m smiling within). Then it became a power hungry, grubby little group that resembled the Lenardo DiCaprio movie; “The Beach!”
All good things must end, and my little experimentation with a communal lifstyle did too. A shame it was, but it is,,,,,what it is!

It’s kinda funny. John McCain has been taking a beating with women because he doesn’t believe women should be held to the same standard as men. To be honest, I agree!
My wife, daughters and sisters are all smarter than me; very hard and determined workers I mught add.
I wouldn’t want them to have to take the same pay-scale as a man simply because it was the law!
And that’s the problem. Guys look around all the time and say,,,,darn; she’s good; she’ll get that corner opffice before me if I don’t do something about it.
That’s just the problem with equal pay ammendments; it’s as evil as a union wage scale.
I once worked for an airline and the crew chief (with 30 years experience)said,,,,”hey Wiz, can you go ring out these wires on the 727; I’m not to good using an electrical meter!”
I was floored, I was a B scale mechanic at the time, and I could work rings around this guy; but he was making all the bread!!
Same thing with my daughter. She’s so darn good, I don’t want her to be stuck with an unfair scale that punishes her!

Why in the world, out of all the strong republican women, would they pick her? Of course she’s as hatefull and fowl as the McCain camp lately. She should fit right in to their agenda. Now she can bring her hate and ignorance back to the View.Elizabeth is a spoiled, self centered child. She gets her talking points from Fox news. She is a part of the problem with America. Hate wrapped up in Christianity. She bashes Michele on the View and then wonders why Michele dosen’t come back stage with the wife of her husband’s opposition and her parrot. The kool-ade comment was over the top for me. Then today they spent the first half hour expalaining how much they love each other. My friends and I have disagreements on politics, because we also have a diverse group, but I would never belittle my friends opinions with a comment like that. I’m still waiting for the answer to Barbara’s question as to what she supports in John McCain. Still waiting……She flunked her pop quiz…

Linnsell; I can understand your inacceptance with Obamaisanasswipe poster. It’s,,,,well, it is what it is!!
But, if he changed it to ObamaisaLIAR, I wouldn’t disagree with you!
The problem Barak has is tha he’s a lawyer who embraced a terrorist who got off on a “technacality!” He lied at least 3 times about his association, then yesterday, FoxNews reports Obama endorsed William Ayers book; obviously, just “not some guy from the neighborhood” (wonder why no other news media covered that)
Truly, his association with a washed-up 60′s liberal isn’t the issue, it’s his constant lying about it!
…..and if it’s so easy for him to lie about Ayers, which campaign promise, most near and dear to you will he lie about??
Middle class taxes?; Health care??; Education???; the Economy??? The redistribution of wealth ie; “Taxing the rich, to give to the poor???
My bet is he’ll renege on his Robin Hood proposal immediately after being sworn in, and WILL tax the middle class – Painfully!!!
Just remember, I predicted it first!!

What does Elizabeth know about actual politics? I listen to her when I watch the VIEW and she just seems to rant off Republican talking points that anyone reading a blog or watching the news can say. Also, as a mom I am concerned about education & healthcare. Palin has not really touched on those subjects and I feel that she has spent more time being negative with topics such as Ayers.

The View is a show I love watching. Different opinions and points of view from everyone at the table. That’s a good thing and appropriate for how it’s written. Wearing a shirt to make a political statement is “politically incorrect.”
Elizabeth is smart enough (you’d think) to know this. Yet, she chose to do it anyway. Since Elizabeth is taking McCain’s campaign to “The view and finds Palin highly qualified, from what Elizabeth has witnessed since the RNC, why not have Joy bring out the Obama sign. Whoopie can pass out the mail in ballots. (save your audience a stamp and a trip to the polls.) Bottom line “The View” is the Bentley of all day time shows. This election is all about Character assassination, dirty unacceptable robocalls, and defamation. Can we agree “The View” does not condone this.

So the republican campaign will be represented by two empty headed women. At least the men in the audiences they attract will have something nice to look at, a blonde and a brunette. Sorry for being superficial but that is all they do for me. Palin cannot talk on issues because she does not have the basic understanding of governing this nation or its economy and Hasselback, well, what can you say. Putting Palin in the white house would be a HUGE mistake, one of the greatest in American history.

SERIOUSLY; we can all learn something from Palin – “How to Hunt!” We just may need it to supplement our soup-kitchen meals every night when “The One” is elected.
Secondly, having a gun around while crime runs rampant isn’t a bad idea either.
People will be desperate, and will resort to desperate measures. Home invasions, kidnappings etc, will all rise during the coming Obama depression.
Sure, I know it’ll be blamed on Bush, but will be exerserbated by Obama’s “tax the corporation policy.”
Sad as it is to admit, the corporations provide millions of jobs to us pee-ons. If you tax them, they’ll “contract” in size. Investors will pull-out because, hey,,,,there’s no money to be made, and we’ll all be walking the streets!!
Just want to remind you a lesson learned when I was very young; “you can learn something from the stupidest people you meet!”
Sarh, to some seems to one, according to many herein, so take a lesson from her, get a gun, learn to hunt; you just might need both lessons during the Obama depression!!

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is about as dumb as they come. If she had an original thought in her head, it would die of lonliness. It’s not that she has a difference of opinion on “The View” than the other women, its the fact that she is rude and cuts everybody off before they even finish their sentences and gets a pass on it by Barbara Walters. She should just go home to her brain dead husband who’s had one too many concussions and stay there. The only thing she knows how to do is spread her legs and have babies. Duct tape is the answer for her

Why do Democrats care how the RNC spends its money? If the point is that someone spent a lot of money on clothes for a candidate, why isn’t it also relevant that someone spent a lot of money on Biden’s Botox or Michelle’s hair? I’m sure that the Obama spends some of its $150 million a month on clothes for the candidate and his wife, among other things related to the image of the candidate.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll has never a once called me, or I would tell them that I was a Hillary supporter who saw Obama steal the nomination from Hillary with fraudulent ACORN votes in the tainted red caucus states and the good ole boys block Hillary by rigging the delegates against her. Now I am a McCain Palin supporter. Governor Palin has more experience than Barack Obama. The pro-Obama media keeps smearing Governor Palin on a daily basis (like they did to Hillary) in order to distract the American people from the fact that Obama has not experience. As Joe Biden and Hillary said, Obama is not ready to be President. Moreover, Biden said he would be honored to be on the same ticket with McCain.

Have you noticed how “closed minded” democrats think all republicans are “closed minded.” Why is it that “closed minded” people can’t stand each other?
Also, just by reading the comments prior to this one I find it amazing how democrats keep talking about how mean spirited republicans are and they use names like “dim wits” to describe people who have different opinions than they do.
I used to think that I got out of the democrat persuasion because of ideology but now I think it’s because I wanted to join a happier and more gentle side.
Wow! When did we get so vicious?

Obama stumps with Hillary Clinton and Palin stumps with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former reality show contestant (I had to google her b/c I didn’t know who she was). Per Google search Elisabeth is known for her emotional outbreaks. Hope she doesn’t start crying. LOL Republicans have lost all credibility. This is too funny.

I watch the View every night before I go to sleep. I very much support the different views of each of the ladies. That is part of what makes the View, in my oppinion, such a popular show. I do not begrudge Elisabeth for her support of McCain (someone has to) but what I can’t understand is why she cannot support and advance her candidate’s position without Obama bashing. As I said, I tape and watch the View EVERYDAY and there has not been one instance I have watched when there was a political discussion that Elisabeth could not speak about her party/candidate with launching into a tirade on Obama. I think that really gives us some insite on the true Elisabeth.

Elisabeth is increasingly revealing herself to be off her rocker.
The Washington Post reports today the following:
“At the rally this afternoon at a local high school, Palin demonstrated her populist touch as she called out to country singer Gretchen Wilson, who performed her hit song “Redneck Woman” before the GOP ticket took the stage. “I need to get your autograph before we leave,” Palin told Wilson. “Someone called me a “redneck woman” once, and you know what I said back? ‘Why, thank you.’ “”
How on earth can a self-described and unapologetic redneck even begin to purport to represent all of America?
Her selection is such a sad commentary on a narrow subset of our country.
May God have some mercy on us who are in her crosshairs.

Elisabeth expresses HER views (and now the talking points) everyday & is critical of conflicting views. This election season, she’s become even more defensive & ridiculous. I thought she was a little smarter than she’s shown lately. I can listen to her side of arguments, if they are true, but she’s gone over the edge. I can’t stand to watch The View anymore because of how everyone walks on egg shells trying not to offend her.

Hasselback simply repeats whatever she hears on Sean Hannity. Doesn’t really say too much for her ability to think for herself.
She really has nothing decent to say about the candidates she is supporting, but they love her because she is eager to smear their opponents.
Sadly, It seems there are fewer and fewer AMericans with character and integrity.

I think you may have missed the “new money” images that have been circulating where Sen. Obama is depicted on currency with “fried chicken” “watermelon” “kool-aid”. It is ridiculous, yet insidiously stereotypical. And because EH often gives voice without thought or with misinformation, that comment has racial innuendos.
I don’t know for sure, but would doubt if anyone on a national stage has ever referred to a presidential nominee with a kool-aid reference before.

the Kool-Aid reference is from the 60′s book ‘Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test’, by Tom Wolfe.Electric Kool-Aid contained LSD,, so I guess it has come to mean one is tripping, or delusional.Now the expression is in wide use by people unconnected to its original meaning, though we are out there…

Lipstick Mama- I don’t know what you are taping or what you are drinking before you watch, but all I ever see on the View is Joy and Babs on a tirade about McCain or Bush. They don’t even let poor sweet Elizabeth get a word in. If Babs holds that wrinkly boney hand up in front of Elizabeth’s face, to keep her from talking, one more time… well I just can’t watch that show anymore. I loved it when the ladies, with their differing opinions, argued about things like what a trainwreck Brittany Spears was. I don’t want to be entertained by a washed up cranky Joy shoving her socialist opinion down my throat every day. That’s not entertainment, it’s crap.

I agree and find it most useful that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is set to join Gov. Sarah Palin on the campaign trail. She has been a consistent pro-McCain voice on the popular ABC daytime program, which I have seen where she wore a McCain T-shirt on the set during Tuesday’s program, and tangled with her co-hosts Wednesday over her support for the GOP ticket. I agree with her statement:
“[McCain is] the most unifying figure in the Senate. Barack Obama is so far left,”.
Now Spain/President Zapatero, is looking for OBAMA’s support to influence and push the presence of Spain at the Nov.15 Economic Summit, to be held in the USA.
Let us not forget that few years ago THE PRESIDENT OF SPAIN/Zapatero showed and made no signs of respect IN NOT STANDING UP from his chair, like the rest of the attendants, WHEN THE United States flag passed in front OF HIM, in AN OFFICIAL PUBLIC PARADE HELD IN MADRID (his excuse then was due to the war in Iraq!!!). A mistake on his side.
SPAIN A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT, HAS NOW THE HIGHEST RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN ALL OF EUROPE AND WITH PROBLEMS ALREADY ARISING FOR THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS (THAT INCLUDES LATINOS), THAT HAVE SEEN HOW THEIR TAXES HAVE BEEN SPREAD AROUND, AND THEY ARE NOW WITHOUT A JOB.
PRESENTLY IN SPAIN SOME WORKING MIDDLE CLASS HAS ALREADY SEEN THEMSELVES IN THE NEED TO USE CHARITY AID TO BE ABLE TO FEED THEMSELVES. THEY SEE HOW THEIR ECONOMICAL POSITION HAS DROPPED TO A PRECARIOUS SITUATION, DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE TAXES.
READ THE NEWSPAPERS IN EUROPE POSSIBLY AMERICANS CAN ASK THEMSELVES, WHY THIS CANNOT ALSO HAPPEN IN AMERICA IF OBAMA WINS THIS ELECTION, AND START SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND.
An Article ON TAXES, published yesterday by the Financial Times (Clive Crook) reads: “….Suppose a family currently has a $12,000 policy provided by an employer. Under the McCain proposal, instead of attracting relief as at present, this benefit would be taxed as ordinary employment income – but the extra tax paid would be more than offset by the new $5,000 credit. In the first analysis, nothing changes so far as employers are concerned: all the action is on the employee’s pay cheque. The policy delivers a net tax cut to middle-income households and IS ENOUGH TO MAKE THE MCCAIN TAX PLAN ON AVERAGE A BETTER OVERALL DEAL FOR THEM than the Obama plan.”

My aunt always told me if you cannot say something nice do not say anything at all. You can respectfully disagree with anyones’s point of view and not call names and be just totally insulting. You can forcefully state your opinion and here is mine, I do not think EH is very mature, everytime someone disagrees with her she flops in her chair and pouts like a child. I do not have a clue who she is and I do not care. Just know I would not like to hang out with someone who is so close minded and who cannot see anyones point of view except the Republicians. Just because we are not on the right does not make us wrong. We simply diagree with your viewpoints and have out own and they are just as valid. How can you want anymore republicians after Bush Cheney. This country needs a change and that the government should be for all of it’s people and Yes Elizabeth even us middle class poor people need a tax break just like all of you who do make over the $250,000

Cliff, you fail to mention that Biden made those remarks in August 2005. These guys are politicians, and you expect any of them to be honest? McCain says Obama is an “honorable family man who loves his country” one minute and then accuses him of being a socialist and palling around with terrorists the next day. Don’t come on here and act like he or Palin are saints. They all lie, they all make campaign promises they probably won’t keep, they all want the power, they all want the office of President. Quit acting like the Republicans are any more honorable than the Democrats or any other politician for that matter. They all have agendas, just like you.

I watched the View when E.D. Hill was the guest host recently and I LOVED HER. I had never heard of her before because I avoid Fox News, but it was so nice to hear a smart, rational conservative woman for a change. Elisabeth is shrill, harpy & the only was to defend the indefensible Palin is to be like “Oh, yeah, well what about Obama this & that”. So childish. Elisabeth needs to be replaced with an intelligent conservative like Ms.Hill.
Hasselbeck will do no other service to Palin, other than appeal to the extreme right, which Palin already has in the bag, so what’s the point?

It was just a few short weeks ago that Biden questioned Obama’s judgement by saying Hillary would’ve been a better choice for VP than he.
And just a couple of days ago, Biden said that Obama would be tested with a “generated” international crisis. Why? Well, it’s because of his youthful age, inexperience and foreign policy positions which will tempt other countries to try to get away with something big that flys in the face of our national security interests.
Now, Obama in full damage control mode has just written off Joe’s latest comment as merely a rhetorical flourish. In reality, Biden’s unscripted comment, while I might instead call it an epic gaffe, is nonetheless a salient point just as Obama’s “spread the wealth” unscripted comment was salient.
I’m sufficiently chilled by these remarks that I’m now wearing a sweater 24×7. :)

Here, let’s try it this way…
Irene, thank you for taking an interest in our national election. First, let me apologize for the above commenter’s harsh response to you. Please note that it’s nothing personal. Obama supporters are beginning to see a melt-down in support for their ticket and they’re becoming quite agitated.
Now, to your question regarding the Democratic primary in which Barack Obama narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton for the Party’s nomination. I’m going to intentionally leave out some detail because I’m not familiar with the nuances of each of the parties’ rules. In both the Republican and Democratic Parties, state delegates are chosen who will vote for the party’s slate of candidates based upon the number of votes each candidate receives in each state. Some states have winner-take-all rules while others commit their delegates proportionately to the final vote tallys. A candidate must meet or exceed a minimum threshold of pledged delegates in order to win the party’s nomination.
Both nomination processes were fun to watch. John McCain accomplished an improbable come-from-behind victory roughly mid-way through the primary while the Democratic primary was a nail-biting tug-of-war throughout the process. Anyway, in terms of total popular vote between Clinton and Obama, it was very close – so close in fact that you’ll read some Hillary supporters who claim thier candidate received more actual votes than Obama.
Trust me, I’m not here to take sides on who I think should’ve won because, hey, I’m not a Democrat, I’m a moderate/conservative independent supporting John McCain, just like the PUMAs (go PUMAs!) on this site.
I hope that at least partially explains what happened.

My dislike for Elizabeth Hasselback has nothing to do with her political views. I have always found her to be arrogant and very condescending to those who don’t share her views.
Also…..for anyone to think that Gov. Palin spending such a ridiculous amount of money on clothing is going to ‘connect’ her to ‘Main Street America’ they are out of their minds. “Joe the Plumbers’” wives aren’t shopping at Neiman Marcus, or Sak’s 5th Ave… my husband is a dentist…..we live comfortably but we also dont live stupidly……I dont find it necessary to spend our hard earned money on ‘high brand’ names that serve no purpose.

The 150,000 that was spent for clothes is a lot over the top. Can you imagine if Obama and Biden had spent that much on clothes…what the Republicans would say about it…talk about having a field day on FOX!! Also, Elizabeth is so closed minded…she is just another “good guys/bad guys” type of people. Both, she and Palin on a stage together will only excite the base and that is not going to win the election because you have to connect with more than just your core voters. I would however appeal to the McCain/Palin camp that I love L.V purses and since they bought a seven year old one…will they PUHLEEZE buy me a new pink speedie!! ;-)

“If Obama wins,good on him,I hope he makes a fine president.”
Me too, but I won’t hold my breath.
Instead, Our family is already planning for the worst. I’ve cut way back on discretionary spending and can no longer afford to commit to the same levels of charitable contributions. I’ve stopped contributing to my 401k plan. My wife is looking for a job to supplement our income and I’m busily looking into tax shelters in anticipation of a rather hefty tax increase if Obama wins this thing.
I might suggest that you earners out there start doing the same thing. Get ready and be prepared.

Great, these 2 shallow & stupid women can get together with the “country club” women and vote en masse for their vain and hypocritical “Family Values”! Ms Palin should give her pathetic kids a rest! No school?This Moose hunter will do ANYTHING to self promote!

I saw another blob on this website that compared blue states and red states about general analogies. I did not think it was accurate but it shows the difference between liberal management of government and a conservative management. From the polls, I thought the blue states were better for everyone. But the generality, they conservative red states had the advantage in education, business and government budgets.

Planewizard, (re:post at 3:40pm) just a quick not on the subject comment… the airline I worked for had A&P’s and R&E’s (radio/electrical) not all A&P’s had a R&E license. If you had both licenses then you got paid more but it was not required. Your crew chief probably did not have that license and was not confortable doing that job, he also may have got his job promotion on senority and not just job skill. I hope that makes sense.

I’m not sure this is going to make Palin look hefty or smart, which is what she needs. But I just don’t think that is what they are after.
We all know sex sells. If Palin had been that unexperienced AND unattractive…
even the die hard Republicans would have stayed home. This is not a put down, but she has not been able to demonstrate any other attribute besides sex appeal.
Americans love newness and beauty. 10 years from now when her beauty fades, we will recount tales about the lady on the Republican side.. ahh, ahh, Sarah,you know, the one from Alaska, oh yes her… I wonder what happened to her? Because she’s feisty ,(and I am not sure that is not all pre-written for her) , like Clinton but she doesn’t display the brilliance and depth of Clinton.
Brains and beauty are an almost unstoppable combination. And just to be fair (gender-wise), ask the first Clinton. Most of us women thought he was hot, but we also trusted his thinking.
Quick quips (and beauty) are fading but a gifted mind lasts.
(until Alzheimer’s sets in).

Hey, did you all hear that former Bush press spokesperson Scott McClellan is supporting Barack Obama? I’m beginning to lose count of all the Bush cronies bolting to support Obama.
Makes me wonder, if John McCain = George Bush, why are Bush’s cronies supporting Barack Obama? The Maverick must’ve ruffled more than a few Republican feathers during his time as a Senator, just like Sarah Palin as governor of AK.
Remember, when you cross the political aisle you may gain some respect among independent-minded and moderate folks but you also become an easy target within those political circles in Washington.

I’ve been watching Elizabeth for years and I’m certain she has her own handlers suggesting talking points and researching facts she just doesn’t have time to understand herself. This is reality television at its finest! And I can’t imagine a more ill-advised McCain campaign strategy, other than the choice of Palin itself.

This was forwarded to me from Florida
Can anyone verify its true?
“This is long, but it is a must read………very powerful.
Please read to the end!
This sums up my feeling about CNBC and other financial news
media!
David Letterman wrote this; it’s the David we
Don’t often see…
‘ As most of you know I am not a President
Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not
about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it
seems to hit the mark.
‘The other day I was reading Newsweek
magazine and came across some Poll data I found
rather hard to believe. It must be true given
the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67
percent of Americans are unhappy with the
direction the country is headed and 69 percent of
the country is unhappy with the performance of
the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry
just ain’t happy and want a change. So being the
knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ‘What
are we so unhappy about?”
A.. Is it that we have electricity and
running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
B.. Is our unhappiness the result of
having air conditioning in the summer and heating
in the winter?
C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of
these unhappy folks have a job?
D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk
into a grocery store at any time and see more
food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last
year?
E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our
cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the
Atlantic Ocean without having to present
identification papers as we move through each
state?
F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean
and safe motels we would find along the way that
can provide temporary shelter?
G.. I guess having thousands of
restaurants with varying cuisine from around the
world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck
our car, emergency workers show up and provide
services to help all and even send a helicopter
to take you to the hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70
percent of Americans who own a home.
J.. You may be upset with knowing that
in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of
trained firefighters will appear in moments and
use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames,
thus saving you, your family, and your
belongings.
K.. Or if, while at home watching one
of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or
prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun
and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you
and your family against attack or loss.
L.. This all in the backdrop of a
neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and
pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where
90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious,
social and political freedoms we enjoy that are
the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks
unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of
ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever
seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet
has a great disdain for its citizens. They see
us for what we are. The most blessed people in
the world who do nothing but complain about what
we don’t have, and what we hate about the country
instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the
president who took us into war and has no plan to
get us out? The president who has a measly 31
percent approval rating? Is this the same
president who guided the nation in the dark days
after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to
bring an economy out of recession? Could this
be the same guy who has been called every name in
the book for succeeding in keeping all the
spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist
attacks? The commander in chief of an
all-volunteer army that is out there defending
you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is
on the news or talk show? Did this news affect
you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn’t
take a look around for yourself and see all the
good things and be glad? Think about
it…….are you upset at the President because he
actually caused you personal pain OR is it
because the ‘Media’ told you he was failing to
kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have
volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have
died for your freedom. There is currently no
draft in this country. They didn’t have to go..
They are able to refuse to go and end up with
either a ”general” discharge, an
‘other than
honorable” discharge or, worst case scenario, a
”dishonorable’ ‘ discharge after a few
days in
the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment
in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the
media. If it bleeds it leads and they
specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a
car crash with blood and guts How many will
watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The
media knows this and media outlets are for-profit
corporations. They offer what sells, and when
criticized, try to defend their actions by
‘justifying’ them in one way o r a nother Just ask
why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.
Simpson to write a book about how he didn’t kill
his wife, but if he did he would have done it
this way…….Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New
York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.
Then start being grateful for all we have as
country. There is exponentially more good than
bad. We are among the most blessed people on
Earth and should thank God several times a day,
or at least be thankful and appreciative.’ ‘With
hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud
slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up
the country from one end to another, and with the
threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, ‘Are we
sure this is a good time to take God out of the
Pledge of Allegiance?’
David Letterman
Please keep this in circulation. There
are so many people who need to read this and grasp the
truth of it all

We have watched with great interest over the past year the on going election process in your beautiful country. We have the social health care system that is being batted around by your Democratic Party and thought you might be interested to hear from someone in British Columbia, Canada …
Our health care system in Canada began under the best of intentions … “Health Care for All” and we have heard many times that most Americans believe our system is an excellent one. DON’T BELIEVE IT AMERICA!!!! Our health care system is collapsing. We are middle income people who – with every tax (hidden and disclosed) added up pay 52% of our income in to support our failing social system. We are a country of about 30 million people and have a national debt of 720 billion dollars. The growth of this debt has slowed but only at the expense of our health care system, schools, social programs and our military.
In many cases we have to wait up to a year or longer for CAT Scans, up to a year for a specialist appointment and more than a year for surgery. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford it and smart enough to do it you take your problem across the border into the USA and pay for what you need there to ensure you will at least live. Lots of Canadians are doing just that. Our hospitals in British Columbia are dirty, over crowded, understaffed and they can’t keep up with the load of patients they have to see. Our Doctors and nurses are worked to the bone and stretched to the limits. You think you are finally going to have that surgery you waited so long for and you get to the hospital only to find out that it was cancelled because the operating rooms could not be staffed. Wards are being closed because of personnel shortages and patients are sleeping in the hallways.
We have the finest doctors and nurses in the world but we are losing more and more of them to other countries where they can receive better pay, be appreciated for their work and have a life with their own families. A lot of them are in America.
Family doctors are a rarity here in Canada now. Clinics are the only way most of us can get care and we often see a different doctor every time.
Our school systems have suffered greatly. If you think you have problems with your public school systems in America just add health care to the list of things that need to be paid for and see what happens. Good programs that we did have are being cut left right and center because of the drain … our schools are bulging at the seams … they are overcrowded and underfunded … we simply do not have the money to sustain our social programs. One of our daughters is a special education teachers assistant trained to work in the school systems here. She has four children and is so discouraged by the failing of the system she home schools all of them.
When we started hearing about the social health care system that has been suggested to you in America we decided to warn you all about what the cost will be. If you go down the same road we have here in Canada ALL of you will pay and pay dearly no matter what income level you are. Once you are on the road and like us find it is the hugest money pit ever, how do you try and turn around again? Taxes, taxes and more taxes that never work.
No matter who wins your election America, your country has come a long way. It is an exciting time in your history but remember that voting with your heart is going to hit your wallet hard!
If you want to go the road of public health care and be one of the highest taxed country in the world we will be more than happy to pass that title on to you but you won’t like it. Just a view from a Canadian neighbour!

The Republicans must be really getting desperate. I am so tired of Lizzy’s one-sided, closed-minded views. She seems to be obsessed with trying to smear Obama instead of trying to explain what McCain can do for America. They definitely picked the right person to spew crap. But alot of Americans are getting sick of the smearing. Why can’t candidates just tell the people what they can do for the country and not make it so personal? But then, I guess the Republicans would never win.

Except Joe Biden didn’t use CAMPAIGN FUNDS for his Botox shots. And Biden doesn’t pretend to be a folksy, down to earth, frugal hockey mom. Just because Hasselbeck spends just as much as Palin on clothes, does not make $150,000 a normal amount by any stretch.

Logan42 thats great that you know all about Palin’s national security credentials, because she didn’t seem to have a CLUE about any of that when asked NUMEROUS times about them. So take your pick, either she’s very qualified on national security, but is just so incredibly inarticulate that she wasn’t able to express any of her qualifications, or she doesn’t actually do ANYTHING as ‘Commander….49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard’.

elizabeth hasselbeck is a joke and the reason i don’t watch the view anymore, she’s so Right in unbelieveable and she thinks she’s the only opinion thats right and matters.

democrats are such a sour lot. Just let Palin and Hasselback be. How the republicans are getting under your skin.
I am sure the democrats NEVER expected to be ruffled like they are with Sarah Palin.
This woman is very very powerful.obama has to win the elections. if he does not he will be exterminated because people have put money on him.he has promised the public too much and he thinks he is a mocho man. you know what the ant did to the elephant..ha!!

Wow, the double standards of the democrats are so easy to see here.
I have looked at the faces of the speaking heads for the big “0″ and almost every one of them seem angry including the three stooges on “The View” who can not think for themselves and complain when Elisabeth does so.
There are many double standards. Those that want Sarah to show her medical records while letting “O” slide on even showing that he is a legal candidate by showing his birth certificate.
They get on Joe the Plumber for asking a legitimate question to which he was told that we should take from the rich and give to those who sit home and do nothing….to spread the wealth while Bidden gave far less to those in need in three years then the Palins did in one year.
Then Obama talks about the so called wage gap which the Independent Women’s Forum has disproven time and time again…but there IS a wage gap. Obama pays his female staff 83 cents for each dollar the men make while McCain pays his female staff $1.04. We sure do not hear about these double standard do we?
Nor do we hear about the 88 Million given to ACORN to get out the vote. There model? Vote early and vote OFTEN!
When will the sheep learn that their vote is being BOUGHTEN? When one thinks they will get money from the government without ever having to work, that is buying the vote…but at what price? What good will having a few US dollars in our pocket be when a Red Crescent flag is flying over the White House?

Hasselbeck always comes across as unintelligent. She repeats McCain Palin positions without real arguments to back them up (because so many of them dont have legs to stand on). I think they put her on ‘the view’ just because they needed a contrary view to make things interesting. I also find her smug.

Isn’t it surprising that Obama, Biden, the DNC, their media storm troopers, Hollywood and music celebrity minions, and “democrats” in general explode in displays of visceral hatred against Sarah Palin “racist, KKK, nazi”, Palin’s family, and to a lesser extent, McCain, and anyone else who dares oppose them, but they can’t find any fault with “Rev.” (God Damn America/America invented the Aids virus to kill Black people) Wright and his “church”, which Obama and his family attended for the past 20 years with no complaint about the racism or anti-American diatribes Wright was spewing (even though Wright and that “church” were receiving $15 million in taxpayer dollars over the last 15 years)! Wright WAS also Obama’s campaign’s “Spiritual Advisor” til Wright’s enormous ego made him spill the beans! They likewise find no fault with Ayers & Dohrne, who founded the Weather Underground, that bombed the Capital, the Pentagon, police stations, and killed several people. Obama served on boards, committees, “civic projects”, etc. with Ayers, his wife worked with him, they socialized with Ayers & Dohrne, have friends in common with them (i.d. Rashid Khalidi, who has ties to the PLO), and Obama’s Illinois Senate run was announced from Ayers living room (Obama says Ayers “lived in his neighborhood!) In 2004 or 2005, Ayers said he only wished they had done MORE bombing, he’s been photographed trampling the American Flag underfoot and grinning, but Obama says he “thought Ayers had been rehabilitated”! NOT rehabilitated, NOT repentent, avowed Marxist, vehemently says so in public, but Obama “didn’t know about any of that”! He knows about it NOW, have you ever heard Obama denounce Ayers and Dohrne? Wright? No, just “some of their past activities”. How about Rezko, Obama’s convicted criminal buddy, who gave him $1.6 million and a corrupt real-estate deal? How about Mazen Asbahi, Obama’s “Islamic Advisor”, who had to quit when his Hamas connections were discovered? What about the fact that Obama SUPPORTS Partial-Birth Abortion, the most bestial, sadistic “medical procedure” allowed in this country, against the most innocent and helpless victims, voted AGAINST the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which protects babies who survive abortion attempts and are born alive from being killed or left alone to die (he was the only Illinois Senator to speak against it) and even NARAL wasn’t for that, but he ALSO has stated that women should have some period of time after a baby is born to decide if they want it KILLED! What part of THIS GUY IS A MONSTER do you not understand?? Think Jesus would approve of Mr. Obama?
Never hear a word of criticism from anyone on the Obama side, do we? They don’t CARE what Obama, his wife, or any of their associates have ever said or done! They have NO problem with racism, anti-Americanism, criminal connections, corruption, or abortion extremism, so long as those involved support Obama. No better definition of hypocrisy or “low-life” will ever be found.

Obamanomics
(from an e-mail)
Here is a creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered in a local newspaper…
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08″ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
Oh yeah, I stayed around a while and followed the homeless guy to see how he would spend the unearned gift. It wasn’t used to pay off a bill, got some food, or even purchase some better clothes. Let’s just say he could have been arrested.
See how great welfare is!!!!

Hooray!!!!!! Now we got two airheds together. Hasselbeck is not a plus, but if your’e desperate, anyone will do.
She doesn’t know policies any more than Palin. She doesn’t see that McCain/Palin they are not what they put out to be. What about the past things they have done? Because Hasselbeck is for them it does not count, but everything that Obama does is wrong, including things that happened when he was 8 (yes 8) years old.
Open up eyes and see the light.

Americans: I know we need change and there can be a change but for the good. Think, please, what politicians say and do: Mr McCain has the experience and so does Palin. They have compassion for the unborn, the underprivileged, the disabled, they will not raise taxes which is key to our rebound in the economy (my background is in economics and accounting), they do not have a friend in Mr Ayers, the ACORN issue should also be resolved. Please this is the most important decision for the US and our safety and our freedom. We need wisdom and this does come with age and experience. Forget the clothing for God’s sake! Concerned citizen

McCain has a history of picking attractive women. His first wife, whom he dumped for Cindy after her disfigurement, Cindy, Palin, and now Hasselbeck. I bet his senate office is staffed with young, pretty women.
This, combined with his offensive, sexist behavior (he called Cindy a trollop and the C word in public), would turn off many women, if the press would report it.

Barack Obama will win this election because the American people have lost their minds.

Look’s like a lot of Dems and Libs are scared! What are you so afraid of? it’s getting tight isnt it! If you are so sure that Obama is going to Win, then why all of the panic and anger?.. Just take a chill pill, maybe he will win..
Maybe all this shows just how split this country is.. Seems like the right is the majority though.. when you take away the voter fraud issue.. So for all of you out there that hate Mccain and Palin, and Hasselbeck and anyone with conservative views, just remember that there are maybe twice as many who dont..
Thats the reality.. you have your far left views, they have their far right views, at some point we will have to meet in the middle and quit this childish ignorant behavior.. Grow up people, we have kids watching us.. and they need to know how to respect people from EVERY background and view.. Nice job so far teaching them that..

To Cam V in Canada… While I’m not a proponent of government sponsored health care for the US, I do know there are other countries which are not in the dire straites Canada is in which do have the same government subsidized health plans (Ireland and England being two, off the top of my head). I do not feel the the US should adopt this type of approach to health care BUT I do firmly believe that major reform needs to take place within the health care industry here! There are far too many people being denied benefits by large, greedy health providers. They’ve basically been allowed to operate almost completely unfettered for years! I’m not an advocate of the government stepping in on industry and business but when it is depriving our people of basic and lifesaving medical needs which they should be receiving because they were a part of a medical plan but because let’s say they became ill from a rare form a cancer which the provider refused to allow treatment because it WAS RARE thus not acceptable – THAT is unacceptabke! If it takes government intervention, then this is it has reach a point when intervention is necessary. But the key is *balance* – to have our President and top advisors with good, balanced judgement knowing just how much intervention and oversight is truly needed. We cannot “take over” the health industry or step in and become a full-fledged regulatory body. Yet some form of regulation, for the safety of the American people, deems necessary. That has not happened under the current administration when it’s been blatantly obvious that there are many situations where people have needed insurance and couldn’t get it and medical treatment was denied to people who had insurance policies! A balance must be struck and not at the level of a full government subsidized health plan. There are many alternatives which are quite acceptable and will work for the American people. It cannot and will not happen overnight but the current administration hasn’t done much of anything to even begin to move forward. We need new blood to help the people of this country! I believe we’ll see that beginning on November 4th and again, it won’t be an easy task but it will be a priority! Our country is much more deeply in debt than Canada right now. We have a very long way to go ourselves…lots of hurtles! But health for our people is up there as a top agenda. I believe the end result will be in a significant change in how the health industry both presents plans to its participants and handles the claims. I also think that there will be many more state plans available for those who are self-employed or cannot afford the high-cost insurance plans. Again, this will take time but I know it will be a priority!

Elisabeth Hasselbeck doesn’t just support McCain and Palin, she is obsessed with them.

To JACK..Are you even familiar with the Dixie Chicks??? – To GLEN…Gov. Palin selected Elsabeth not Sen. McCain, get your facts straight, you are clueless. By the way, what is the “C” word?? To SICK OF IT – You say you are a Christian and then in the same breath you curse, I suggest you work on your own life before judge other people. To JUNIOR – Of course Gov. Palin would be better informed than Elisabeth, she is A GOV. and you are an IDIOT. To VA BLUE – I hope you are not from the state of Virginia, if so I am ashamed of you! The mentality of the people voting for Obama is below 0 and it would be frightening to have someone like that in the White House!

Another thing, $150,000 is nothing for Gov. Palins wardrobe, makeup, hair and whatever else it was spent on, Does anyone remember when Obama announce his VP and all the news could report on was what designer was Michelle going to wear. Do you think designer clothes for all the appearances she made plus her hair and makeup was UNDER that amount, I THINK NOT!!!! Wearing clothes specifically by Designers are far more expensive than buying clothes off the rack at Saks. If she DID wear a $100 dress like it was just reported it was after they slandered Gov. Palin. I cannot believe the News would stoop that low. I could go on forever.
Posted by: tlc | October 24, 2008, 6:44 pm 6:44 pm
Palin’s wardrobe didn’t make the news because of its cost. It made the news because the GOP paid for it using campaign contributions — and it was actually some of the contributors who were complaining the loudest.

You asked about a statement made by Letterman.
This was not written by either of the NBC hosts but by Craig R. Smith and published on WorldNetDaily.com at Thanksgiving, 2006. It does close with a quote from Leno that someone added and whoever forwarded this left out Craig Smith’s name and thought Leno must have penned it.
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/l/leno-commentary.htm
Actually, does it matter who wrote it? It still applies even if Letterman was not the author.
I also thank you for telling us about the health care in Canada. I had a friend in Canada who had to wait for several months to get “emergency” surgery. That does not sound like the health care I want for my family yet if I am not mistaken, it is the health care Obama wants for everyone (except for the elite such as himself)
I am very concerned about this election, more so then any other in our history. I never thought I would see the day I would prefer to see another Clinton elected but I do now.
I am concerned with this “spread the wealth” idea Why should some of us work hard to get ahead only to have to share what we make with those who are too lazy to work? It seems that since 40% of Americans do not even pay taxes but can now expect to get a check if Obama is elected…he is BUYING votes. I guess if I were a lazy bum, I would vote for him too.
I am concerned about Bidden’s statement that as our country would be tested if his ticket is elected. I read that as the war on terror will be brought to our country. We can not afford that. I doubt that will happen with McCain just as it did not with Ronald Reagan. The best way to assure peace is to be ready for war. We will not stop a war by “talking to them just as we can not stand on a railroad track as a speeding train approaches and expect it to stop because we ask it to nicely.
I am concerned about the right to life and the protection of yet to be born Americans, yet we find one of our potential world leaders not only wants to allow women the right to chose to murder these people before they are born, but to allow them to chose to do so for some undisclosed period of time after they are born. Even worse, he is giving this right ONLY to women. Men can only chose to pay support even without the hope of ever seeing the children they MAY have sired or they can go to jail. I say may have because 1/3 of the men paying child support are doing so for children they can prove are not theirs. I even have a friend whose present husband paid child support for FIVE YEARS for a child that never even EXISTED!
If we look at history, it has never been economics that have destroyed nations…it has been MORAL failure and our country is heading that way at break neck speed.
The only real solution is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. This applies to those who have become God’s people and if you are not one of HIS, you can become one within a moment

In fact, people who vote for her or Palin should not be trusted with sharp objects.palin is a communist who championed a state owned dairy, Matanuska Maid.

If the other three liberal women on the view with ‘big cabooses’ introduce Barack and Michelle with her ‘big caboose’ along with Oprah and her ‘big caboose’, Obama may lose by a landslide. Better yet, skinny wonder boy Obama, seen on a recent Men’s Fitness mag, should quit his campaign and start the new celebrity fit club show on VH1 with these ‘big caboosed’ women. In case you don’t know..elderly Jews on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show remarked about Michelle’s ‘big caboose’ which could be partly due to Iranian caviar. Let’s get some Republican hotties in the white house with better policies for better world relations.

We should all stop writing and talking about her,this way she will disappear from websids and hopefully in to obscurity.Her voice sounds like fingernails scraching over blackboard.It is true that she can not finish her sentences but if she wouldn’t have such an aggressive way of bringin her point across,people might actually listen.She sounds like having a fight with Mummy for not letting her go to a party not like having a intelligent conversation about politics.She is just a spoiled brat whos time on tv got to her head very quickly.She seems to think she is a celebrity,she doesn’t get it “SHE IS NOT” The view is what gave her exposer.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sarah Palin together, just
wonderful now you really do have dumb and dumber. I had a lot of respect for Senator McCain until he chose Sarah Palin for his running mate. Hearing her inciting hatred for Senator Obama is as frightning as it is dangerous and I’m disappointed that Senator McCain does not put her in her place as far as running an honorable campaign is concerned. Which ever party wins the election there won’t be a quick fix for all the problems facing America and the world. Olga from Sydney.

Wait a minute…Who does the hypocrite Palin think Hasselbeck is? Just another nobody in showbiz…just like her before she was picked by a demented McCain for running mate…just a “nobody politician” from Russian-neighbor state. Get a life Elizabeth – and take power-hungry Palin with you – maybe to Russia!!!

I think that Elisabeth Hasselbeck and her ignorant rants have no place on a show like The View. To put such a foolish, narrow-minded person on a show that is an open forum and attempts to address real issues is a shame. ABC may think that her ignorant and uneducated views stir up ratings, but they are wrong. I refuse to watch the show as long as ABC chooses to degrade its quality with her presence. A perfect example of Mrs. Hasselbeck ignorance is her support of Palin’s slaughtering of wolves. She has no understanding of wilderness or wildlife and exerts herself as some sort of knowledgeable person. Her attempt to compare abortion to wildlife is ridiculous. It’s even worse that she tries to tell Americans what they should worry about.
