@rushthroughme: I feel the same way. Don't get me wrong...I don't believe that McCain is a terrible guy or would make a terrible president but I DO BELIEVE that he displayed poor judgment in choosing Sarah Palin for his choice for vice president.
All in all, President Obama has made some mistakes as president but I believe that he has performed extremely well during a very difficult political and economic time in our country. But, that's only my opinion...what do you believe?
america was founded by the beliefs of god? excuse me but your founding fathers thought that religion had no place in america, another thought religion was brainwashing and needed to not enter america
If we knew what happens when you die, Religion would be DEAD
Becasue that what Religion is, to worship god and your Cult...I mean err... Religion, and when you die, you will go to the magical pixieland and play with the fairies, Or burn in fiery hell, forever and ever
I don't get it. I am trying very hard to watch this with an open mind. But every time he is trying to be sincere and all, I can't believe him. I don't know why. It's like he's always shooting the bull. Is it just me? He seems completely phoney.
A person that does not answer to God or the people is a bad reb because that person can or do anything . whoopi said that things in the constitution had to be change. Lets get something right about christian that fought and gave everyone else that right and that is a fact not the other way around as some crazy may think. Nothing was changed and blacks and woman rights actual came from Christians and republicans at the time .A lot of bias crap out against that have earned that right.
That is something that Jefferson said and it was something else.
All rights and the state came from the Christians. It is the people and the christian duty to remain in the public view or there will be no more America . That is why we have the first amendment! That is a fact! FOR we the people! R. Young
Quote It is my opinion that Barack Obama should resign his seat as United States Senator and disqualify himself from being a presidential candidate. No one could have stayed in a church for 20 plus years unless he aligns himself with this pastor who is apprently a bigot. I also do not want the wife of my president to feel the way Baracks wife feels about my country the United States of America. Thank you for allowing me to make a comment.
WTF? That's like the most retarded question I have ever heard!! Does Whoopi really think that McCain meant slavery should be brought back? What a tard.
mccain said "dont change the original constitution"... the original constitution aproved slavery... she was just debating mccain's ridiculus of roe v wade decision... if you dont get that you need to go to pre school soon
No he didn't you retard, he says "I want people who interpret the constitution of the United States the way our founding fathers envisioned them to do." at 5:41-5:51. The constitution also has provisions to amend it. Which were used to outlaw slavery. It was done as the framers envisioned you dumbass. Go read the constitution you ignoramus.
changing a quote to mean something else is not paraphrasing, it's called being a retard. If you think have to go to your library to read the constitution to see if slavery was made illegal by a constitutional amendment, then you better get off the internet, because you're probably going to hurt yourself.
yeah dude... im going to hurt myself...oww oww my arm!... hey but obama still won didnt he? ;) remember that the next time you're reading the constitution lol peace out
What does it matter whether or not Obama won? I'm talking about how you and Whoopi Goldberg didn't know that the constitution can be amended and that slavery was made illegal by the 13th Amendment, not by deciding to interpret the constitution differently.

It's not worth trying to defend someone this stupid.
I have strong feeling that this 'financial crisis' America is going through had been deliberately done to 'reverse psychology' America to vote for McCain. Well, because McCain will continue the war. We all know we're there for the oil! And Bush knows now that a lot of us know! Maybe this way, even the anti-war people who are now more concerned with the stock market would NOW think that this war could maybe save America from all these mess and debts. P.S. VOTE OBAMA!
America is already ruined, they've been covering up their mistakes at our expense since after WWII.

Barbar Walters is a master and quite possibly the most saavy journalist of all time John McCain has a tendency to either lose his cool or talk in circles Barbra kept him line

Who is to say one's life is more important than another... is it inconvenient, how about adoption... or would that interfere with your 'sex in the city' lifestyle. Too many women use abortion as a form of birth control, there are too many forms of prevention to use it as an excuse, the day after pill for those drunken 'accidents'. Again whose to say a womens life is above that of another.
I happen to notice on your profile that you are male. It is convienient for you that you will NEVER have to make that decision. I am a single mom and I know alot of single mothers. NONE of us ever recieve a dollar or any sort of phone call from our children's fathers. So take your views and go to hell.
Women should have the right to choose. It is a choice that should be made between a woman, her family and her doctor. NOT by our government. And the fact that he would appoint conservative judges who might overturn Roe. vs. Wade is scary! This ticket is not a good choice for women!
fuck! this guy is completeley mad "god will lead this world to be good".... look at what religion has done throughout the years, religion does nothing but bringing war and conflict. This guy completeley goes on the religious part of the spectrum, religion + politics...disaster
its funny that you say that sence conservatives are not in control of the house or the senate. why does everyone blame the economy on the executive branch of the government? technicly you can blame Bush but only because he never used his vito pen.
John McCain should how polite and tough he is during this interview. It sort of makes me want to vote for him just a little more. He is very good at answering questions that are not relevant, or biased and pointing out the flaws.
Is Sarah Palin really any more reactionary and insane than Bush, Cheney or McCain? She is exactly the same as them except that she pretends her daughter's child is her own child. I wish "Charly" would have asked her about her alleged pregnancy, instead of asking her 20 M.P.H. softball foreign policy questions. (Although it is funny that she even struck out trying to answer those).
Barbara Walters is the biggest mistake that television has made. She is constantly sticking her foot in her mouth " us white folks will take care of you". WTF!!!!!!!! who says that??? She needs to go retire on her millions, get some non botoxed muscles in her face, and get the hell off tv. She's done, finished, and goddamn annoying!!!!!
I didnt say the show was awful, I said SHE was awful. I happen to like The View, and the other women on there. And unless your an a middle age woman, with millions of dollars, and a poll up your ass, you probably dont have much in common with her, so please, before defending Barbara Walter, think about how useless her comments are, and how's she totally unproductive in the media.
Personally, I don't watch the VIEW because I have the right to watch or not watch a program. If you don't like her don't watch her program. The ultimate statement to be made about the program is not to watch it. Whatever comments one makes on her won't make one iota of difference.
Well, contrary to most people who post on the internet, I know that my views, my statements, my opinions really dont matter. Nonetheless, I still have the option to say that I think some people(in this case B.W.) should be careful in what they say. My point, in my first comment was, that she says many a stupid comment, possibly offending millions of people. My thought on that was, that she should be told to stop/be quiet.Does my opinion really matter on that? Not really, but many people's would.
The marketing of La Palin - what genius. The majority of the people in this country are so gullible they wont/dont care what she says or what she believes in or what her politics happen to be. Which is more of what weve had for the past eight years. Its all about packaging. The pretty package. Dare I say it? Its putting lipstick on a pig! Mr. McCain should be ashamed of himself for his lack of honesty whereas La Palin is concerned. Men can be disgusting pigs - with or without lipstick!
In god we trust was added in the '50s! COME ON PEOPLE! And this WAS NOT founded as a christian nation, MOST of the founding fathers were SECULAR, some of them DEISTS (not xtians), and DEFINITELY some were ATHEISTS.
If you don't believe in God and that our country was founded as "One Nation Under God" not above God, then maybe you should find another country to live in. Whoopie, are you a Wican? Seems you are very concerned about the rights of a Wican in this country. You are rich...I am sure you can afford to move to a country where they would welcome you. PS: Please don't cast a spell on me for saying this.
McCain believes in anything that will get him elected. John is a puppet of the Zionist Neocons and they tell him what he thinks. McCain says one thing and does the opposite. He does not see this as hypocrisy because he is driven by ambition and will compromise anything for this ambition. People watch what you say and what you do. When the two match up you make an incredible impact on others ie walk the talk. But when the walk and talk disagree people judge your actions. John does not fare well.
Obama and Biden separate church and state unlike Sarah Palin. Rob Boston, a spokesman for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, lamented Palin's comments:"I miss the days when pastors delivered sermons and politicians delivered political speeches,"he said. "The United States is increasingly diverse religiously. The job of a president is to unify all those different people and bring them together around policy goals, not to act as a kind of national pastor and bring people to God."
he's soooo spessshhul that even tho he respects views which differ from his, he still wants to impose his on YOU! now that's SPESSSSHUUUUL! SELF-GLORY? JOHN MCCAIN? NOOOOO! i guess praying every day isn't quite enough...
Mccain is so full of shit. Whoopi's question was the question I want answered. Mccain and Palin obviously do NOT believe in the seperation of church and state. That is what worries me. Palin has already taken certain books out of libraries in her state, she already said she wants to overturn Roe V Wade, she already said she is against gay rights, all of these are due to her Damn religion. Telling us that don't believe in Christ that we have to- That is not respecting us you PRICK.
I agree with you, Palin/McCain (McPain) aren't a good choice for America. We've had the religious right in office for 8 years, and look where it lead us. We don't need more of the same!
It's the first time McCain has been interviewed with hard questions. Obama has had to do back flips and fore flips. Obama has had to prove himself over and over and over and over. Obama has had to be perfect.
I agree 100%. When has facing tough, even biased questions become unreasonable for a President to do? They do realize...they're running for President, right?
Playing the victim doesn't help answer any questions. These ladies, although sometimes misguided, asked all the questions Americans have been dying to ask and they just won't fucking answer.
I agree! As a Canadian citizen, and resident. Whomever you guys vote in, greatly affects us!!! One quick question, cause I havent been following the past couple weeks. Who the hell is Sarah Palin, besides a governor?? Oh,and a hockey mom!! Ha,yes, no offense to any moms, love mine dearly, but having 3 kids,taking them to hockey, and running a household, does not enable you to run the country! Thats all I know about her,I know nothing she stands for except the church/state thing. So...who is she?
Palin has been a sports writer, a fisherwoman, and an oil commissioner. All 3 sound interesting but offer nearly no political experience. And remember what happened the last time we elected someone with their hands in the oil biz?
She's she's pro-life. She's a creationist who believes in "teaching both sides" a.k.a doesn't believe in the scientific method or peer review. She was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska most of her political career.
It sounds like a joke, but she could be our next VP.
Seriously???? You f-ing kidding me!! Vice president??? Lord, oh I didnt know that being a "fisherwoman" constituted as a skill. And....on top of all that, shes pro life?? what about pro choice?? What year is this?? Sounds like a re-occurrence of a past president mistake!!I have family in TX, and they ALWAYS seem to be on the more conservative side, drives me nuts...were pretty liberal up here in Canada. My cuz in Tx was so pro bush, that she and I didnt speak for 6 months due to our differences.
I'm from Calif, a very liberal state...and i am against "pro choice." I believe life begins at conception and no one should be allowed to end that life inside a woman's womb. It's as simple as that. it's NOT about taking away women's rights because no one should have the right to do that. It's not a matter of choice, it's a matter of life. Drugs and drug dealing are illegal, but people still do them...they have that choice.
If you're such a liberal state, then why is Ahnuld Swarzenegger the Governator? I disagree with you on the fetus issue. Life begins when a fetus is formed but if the woman is raped or raped by incest, or the mother's life is in jeopardy, then a forced miscarriage should be allowed. Regarding drugs and tobacco, we should allocate more federal money into quitting and rehabilitation programs.
Gotta agree with saturnhexagon. I really dont think any one person has a right to judge anyone else, unless they have been in their shoes. Personally, abortion, isnt for me, MY PERSONAL CHOICE, NOT EVERYBODY'S. I also believe that if a woman is raped, or raped by a family member, a forced miscarriage is necessary. If a brother raped his sister, the mother is not only damaged, but the child will come out with some sort of disability. Lord knows I could talk about this all day long!!!!
so what if the child comes out with a disability? are you saying that mentally disabled babies are worth LESS than others? No life is worth more than someone elses life. And i believe that life begins at conception...therefor i would not support the legalization of abortion. I don't care if people think its taking rights against women, because at the end of the day, it's about giving that embryo/fetus/whatever the chance to live.
DO NOT twist my words!!!!!!!Actually, I work with persons with disabilities, I went to school for years, and I have extensive education in that field. I am NOT saying a person with a disability is "worthless". I am saying that we are not to place our feelings and opinions on others. I have no idea why Im defending my position against someone who's online name in "NiGGaHBIC". My friend, by the way you "represent" yourself, I KNOW we will never agree, so lets leave it alone!
well you know what, saying that it is acceptable to abort babies with deformities implies that they are less desirable and therefor its okay to abort them. I believe it is not right to abort because in my opinion life begins at conception. but also, i believe that people should not murder each other or rob banks...but maybe we should make those things legal so that murderers and bank robbers have "choice!"
he's governor of calif because everyone got behing the band wagon to elect him after Gray Davis was recalled. and it's pretty much common knowledge that California and New York (especially the San Francisco Bay Area) are the most liberal places in the US. SF is very liberal...hello...we were the first city to legalize gay marriage. incest or rape is not an excuse...that fetus is a living thing and it still has value. if you say its ok, then its saying some lives are worth more than others.
It is a very personal choice that should be made by a woman, her family and her doctor. NOT by our government. You have the right to your opinion on choice. You do not, and should not, have the right to force your opinion on others. Niether does McCain or Palin.
so should the government step back too on its restrictions on manslaughter, drugs, and prostitution? i mean...those are personal choices too...a murderer should be able to make the choice of killing someone, right? A drug dealer needs to make a living and a drug abuser needs that fix...why should the government step in? they step in because it's wrong and it affects others. McCain and Palin want to step in because they believe that fetus is alive, therefor they can't allow that act of killing
So you would rather go back to women using coat hangers or getting illegal abortions without adequate medical treatment where they could die? How about situations where the womans life is at risk? Or they got raped? Of course abortions are a very sad thing. However, it is a PERSONAL choice. If you dont believe in it, dont do it. But you should not be making that decision for all women. It is a very personal choice that should be made between a woman, her family and her doctor.
Making abortions illegal will only stop them from being safe. A woman shouldnt have to face the consequences of something that she did not do alone. If a guy leaves, there is no reason a woman should be the one responsible for everything. Abusive men will often try and get their spouse pregnant to keep them from ending the relationship.
Having the option makes woman equal, and protects them from being taken advantage of by a man. Complications with pregnancy can be life-threatening. If abortions are illegal, this could be a death sentence for some women.
Thanks. Well, I usually have some sort of comment, I just try and articulate it well enough to make sense on the message boards. I kind of went off on a tangent, but nothing annoys me more when people (NiggaHBIC) twist my words. Of course I had to say something!!!! Take care!!!
Barbara was very astute in her questioning of Sen. McCain. I wonder if she'll do the same with Sen. Obama and be easy on him as the media tends to do.
good questions by Walters. I have a new respect for her. McCain did not fully explain to my satisfaction Barbara's very astute question about why McCain's captors gave him a choice of whether to stay or leave, instead of just booting him out.
Our founding fathers did not live in the world we live in today and certainly did not face the challenges we face today. Why would we want to regress 200 years?
the comment directly addressed this because JMC said that he would like to see the states make these decisions and it should come from the people. if you dont remeber this country was divided regarding the issue prior to the civil war. with that being said if it were left up to the people the possiblity that the 13th amendment may never have been added to the constition because the country was divided so it needed to come from the bench . She was correct and addressed the issue. ck ur facts
PrezLeefun you need to listen prior to making comments that do not directly address the issue and calling people names. The reason that WG made the comment about becoming a slave again is because JMC said that it RvW should be overturnd and left to the staes to make that decision . Hence the comment about being a slave again the constitution was originally written in 1787 without the 13th amendment which didnt come along until 1865 which is 75 years later . hence being called a amendment.
Yes, there's an AMENDMENT to end slavery. WG's point was the ORIGINAL Constitution did not abolish slavery, on the contrary, and the words "strict interpetation" of the Constitution is a widely used code for those who feel the original article should be pared back down, sans ANY Amendments at ALL, and only the version Ben Franklin signed should be followed. I don't think McC actually wants that, but is he knowingly appealing to that crowd?
hmm, meant "interpretation" of course... Also, less of a concern is McCain's personal beliefs, but that he would entertain nominating JUDGES (lawmakers) who DO believe in this "strict interpretation".
Wow. That's not going to win over many women voters. I bet if the tables were turned and HE was the one having babies, he'd have a different fucking VIEW on abortion.
Palin and MacCain. Came out strong, with their choreographed speeches, but put them on their own and watch how they fall apart! LOL.
It's convenient that you call Palin and McCain's speeches "choreographed." Guess what? They are for BOTH parties - that's what speechwriters do. Yes, Obama is also a great orator and can wow the crowd when he has the help of a teleprompter. Put him in an interview and he cracks under the pressure, too. Everyone needs to wait until November, when they can see the calibur of both candidates during the debates. What's been going on so far has been a dog and pony show.
neocrozan you are an idiot. I am female and I agree with McCain ABORTION IS WRONG. LIFE begins AT CONCEPTION. Furthermore the only ones falling apart are the democrats trying to stick crap on Palin and failing miserably. On side note Whoopie is stupid. The 13th amendment clearly states. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
WHy does he always turn to someone elses quote when someone asks him for his personal opinion or take on something... Thats a cop out. Hes a joke, with arms.

Is Sarah Palin really any more reactionary and insane than Bush, Cheney or McCain? She is exactly the same as them except that she pretends her daughter's child is her own child. I wish "Charly" would have asked her about her alleged pregnancy, instead of asking her 20 M.P.H. softball foreign policy questions. (Although it is funny that she even struck out trying to answer those).

I didnt say the show was awful, I said SHE was awful. I happen to like The View, and the other women on there. And unless your an a middle age woman, with millions of dollars, and a poll up your ass, you probably dont have much in common with her, so please, before defending Barbara Walter, think about how useless her comments are, and how's she totally unproductive in the media.
Vastian 3 years ago
Personally, I don't watch the VIEW because I have the right to watch or not watch a program. If you don't like her don't watch her program. The ultimate statement to be made about the program is not to watch it. Whatever comments one makes on her won't make one iota of difference.

Well, contrary to most people who post on the internet, I know that my views, my statements, my opinions really dont matter. Nonetheless, I still have the option to say that I think some people(in this case B.W.) should be careful in what they say. My point, in my first comment was, that she says many a stupid comment, possibly offending millions of people. My thought on that was, that she should be told to stop/be quiet.Does my opinion really matter on that? Not really, but many people's would.

The marketing of La Palin - what genius. The majority of the people in this country are so gullible they wont/dont care what she says or what she believes in or what her politics happen to be. Which is more of what weve had for the past eight years. Its all about packaging. The pretty package. Dare I say it? Its putting lipstick on a pig! Mr. McCain should be ashamed of himself for his lack of honesty whereas La Palin is concerned. Men can be disgusting pigs - with or without lipstick!

McCain believes in anything that will get him elected. John is a puppet of the Zionist Neocons and they tell him what he thinks. McCain says one thing and does the opposite. He does not see this as hypocrisy because he is driven by ambition and will compromise anything for this ambition. People watch what you say and what you do. When the two match up you make an incredible impact on others ie walk the talk. But when the walk and talk disagree people judge your actions. John does not fare well.

Obama and Biden separate church and state unlike Sarah Palin. Rob Boston, a spokesman for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, lamented Palin's comments:"I miss the days when pastors delivered sermons and politicians delivered political speeches,"he said. "The United States is increasingly diverse religiously. The job of a president is to unify all those different people and bring them together around policy goals, not to act as a kind of national pastor and bring people to God."

Ha,yes, no offense to any moms, love mine dearly, but having 3 kids,taking them to hockey, and running a household, does not enable you to run the country! Thats all I know about her,I know nothing she stands for except the church/state thing. So...who is she?
Vastian 3 years ago
Palin has been a sports writer, a fisherwoman, and an oil commissioner. All 3 sound interesting but offer nearly no political experience. And remember what happened the last time we elected someone with their hands in the oil biz?
She's she's pro-life. She's a creationist who believes in "teaching both sides" a.k.a doesn't believe in the scientific method or peer review. She was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska most of her political career.
It sounds like a joke, but she could be our next VP.

I'm from Calif, a very liberal state...and i am against "pro choice." I believe life begins at conception and no one should be allowed to end that life inside a woman's womb. It's as simple as that. it's NOT about taking away women's rights because no one should have the right to do that. It's not a matter of choice, it's a matter of life. Drugs and drug dealing are illegal, but people still do them...they have that choice.
NiGGaHBIC 3 years ago
If you're such a liberal state, then why is Ahnuld Swarzenegger the Governator? I disagree with you on the fetus issue. Life begins when a fetus is formed but if the woman is raped or raped by incest, or the mother's life is in jeopardy, then a forced miscarriage should be allowed. Regarding drugs and tobacco, we should allocate more federal money into quitting and rehabilitation programs.
saturnhexagon 3 years ago 2
Gotta agree with saturnhexagon. I really dont think any one person has a right to judge anyone else, unless they have been in their shoes. Personally, abortion, isnt for me, MY PERSONAL CHOICE, NOT EVERYBODY'S. I also believe that if a woman is raped, or raped by a family member, a forced miscarriage is necessary. If a brother raped his sister, the mother is not only damaged, but the child will come out with some sort of disability. Lord knows I could talk about this all day long!!!!
Vastian 3 years ago
so what if the child comes out with a disability? are you saying that mentally disabled babies are worth LESS than others? No life is worth more than someone elses life. And i believe that life begins at conception...therefor i would not support the legalization of abortion. I don't care if people think its taking rights against women, because at the end of the day, it's about giving that embryo/fetus/whatever the chance to live.
NiGGaHBIC 3 years ago
DO NOT twist my words!!!!!!!Actually, I work with persons with disabilities, I went to school for years, and I have extensive education in that field.

I have no idea why Im defending my position against someone who's online name in "NiGGaHBIC". My friend, by the way you "represent" yourself, I KNOW we will never agree, so lets leave it alone!

well you know what, saying that it is acceptable to abort babies with deformities implies that they are less desirable and therefor its okay to abort them. I believe it is not right to abort because in my opinion life begins at conception. but also, i believe that people should not murder each other or rob banks...but maybe we should make those things legal so that murderers and bank robbers have "choice!"

It is a very personal choice that should be made by a woman, her family and her doctor. NOT by our government. You have the right to your opinion on choice. You do not, and should not, have the right to force your opinion on others. Niether does McCain or Palin.
Charlie1248 3 years ago 3
so should the government step back too on its restrictions on manslaughter, drugs, and prostitution? i mean...those are personal choices too...a murderer should be able to make the choice of killing someone, right? A drug dealer needs to make a living and a drug abuser needs that fix...why should the government step in? they step in because it's wrong and it affects others. McCain and Palin want to step in because they believe that fetus is alive, therefor they can't allow that act of killing
NiGGaHBIC 3 years ago
So you would rather go back to women using coat hangers or getting illegal abortions without adequate medical treatment where they could die? How about situations where the womans life is at risk? Or they got raped? Of course abortions are a very sad thing. However, it is a PERSONAL choice. If you dont believe in it, dont do it. But you should not be making that decision for all women. It is a very personal choice that should be made between a woman, her family and her doctor.
Charlie1248 3 years ago
Making abortions illegal will only stop them from being safe. A woman shouldnt have to face the consequences of something that she did not do alone. If a guy leaves, there is no reason a woman should be the one responsible for everything. Abusive men will often try and get their spouse pregnant to keep them from ending the relationship.
Charlie1248 3 years ago
Having the option makes woman equal, and protects them from being taken advantage of by a man. Complications with pregnancy can be life-threatening. If abortions are illegal, this could be a death sentence for some women.

the comment directly addressed this because JMC said that he would like to see the states make these decisions and it should come from the people. if you dont remeber this country was divided regarding the issue prior to the civil war. with that being said if it were left up to the people the possiblity that the 13th amendment may never have been added to the constition because the country was divided so it needed to come from the bench . She was correct and addressed the issue. ck ur facts
npthomas80 3 years ago
PrezLeefun you need to listen prior to making comments that do not directly address the issue and calling people names. The reason that WG made the comment about becoming a slave again is because JMC said that it RvW should be overturnd and left to the staes to make that decision . Hence the comment about being a slave again the constitution was originally written in 1787 without the 13th amendment which didnt come along until 1865 which is 75 years later . hence being called a amendment.
npthomas80 3 years ago
Yes, there's an AMENDMENT to end slavery. WG's point was the ORIGINAL Constitution did not abolish slavery, on the contrary, and the words "strict interpetation" of the Constitution is a widely used code for those who feel the original article should be pared back down, sans ANY Amendments at ALL, and only the version Ben Franklin signed should be followed. I don't think McC actually wants that, but is he knowingly appealing to that crowd?
