Talking to other countries is something I support, but urging a country to do something isn't the way to improve our relationship McCain..you know that

When I read these comments I am amazed at the lack of informed thought and reason that goes into so many of the comments. If these truly reflect the basis for casting a vote then it really does explain how W was elected twice.

A man of war meeting with a man of peace.
McCain is mean, bitter, and jealous!

Two great men that are interested in serving the world and not their egos.

WIll someone please ask McCain why I should vote for him intead of Bob Barr? Seriously, McCain isnt even talking about his own policies. Conservatives unite for Barr!

I AM VERY GALD THAT THE DALAI LAME IS GOING TO MEET WITH MC CAIN. HOPEFULLY THE DALAI CAN GIVE HIM SOUND ADVISE.
BETTER YET ANY ADVISE THAT MC CAIN GETS FROM THE DALAI
HOPEFULLY HE WILL TAKE TO HEART.

The Dali Lama is a man of peace. CNN why is mccain meeting with him? What is prez bush saying about this?

No, I don't think Obama need to follow that lead nor do I think he will. McCain can have him all to himself.

Obama always follow Mccain's lead. Now that Mccain has decided to visit with the Dalai Lama, I'm certain Obama will book the Vantican so he can make a speech in front of the Pope. What a showman he is……silly wabbitbama, tricks are for kids!

MCcain and Dalal Lama meeting good, maybe Dalal can help
John MCcain with lying.

whenever necessary, the politician will attract eyeball by manipulating some irrelated stupi-d issues, like Iraq, China,…

mind our own business, focus on the thing worthful!

it's a true shame !

not important July 24th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Dalai Lama is a hypocrite and a liar just like Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader and his lobbyist ties are well known. Just ask Ralph Nader about Public Interest Research Groups or Public Citizen. Point is that Nader is a hypocrite and Dalai Lama is a liar
——————————-

Your comments are pathetic. You "my friend" really are NOT IMPORTANT

Obama '08

You bet our relationship with China is important……… we OWE CHINA A LOT OF MONEY, SINCE A GOOD PORTION OF THE $10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT IS OWED TO THE CHINESE!

That means, that the United States of America, a beacon of hope and freedom……… will stand silently by as Tibet continues ENSLAVED by the Chinese!

Sure we went into Iraq, according to Bush/Cheney/McCain to "bring freedom and democracy" …….but we will turn a blind eye when the Chinese cruelly keep the people of Tibet enslaved!

Wow…………. talk about HYPOCRISY!

I wonder what a war-monger has to say to a man of peace. Maybe he'll say we need more killing in the world. I don't think so, this is just another political ploy to get attention. I'm sure there will be no transcript of the meeting, hopefully since the Dalai Lama is a man of truth, he will tell us what transpired. I would bet mcshame will do most of the listening.

Do you think McSame even knows where Tibet Is???

I'd bet anything he cannot find it on a map.

McCain, I really don't care what you do, I have no respect for a man that continuously lies and can't get anything right. You are not fit to run this country.

Sen. John McCain is expected to meet with the Dalai Lama Friday.
Often referred to as “His Holiness,” the Dalai Lama has lived in exile in Dharamsala, India since the Chinese occupied Tibet in 1959.

McCain often referred to as DEVILISH!!

Texas Trail Dog -WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!

Dalai Lama is a hypocrite and a liar just like Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader and his lobbyist ties are well known. Just ask Ralph Nader about Public Interest Research Groups or Public Citizen. Point is that Nader is a hypocrite and Dalai Lama is a liar.

MUST OF BEEN "POLITICALLY WISE" HAVING TWO GRAMPAS TALK…

UNITED WE'RE STRONGER

OBAMA (P) & CLINTON (VP) 2008-2014

NO TO "BUSH II", "McWAR", "BUSH'S-INTENT-FOR-2ND-PARADE-IN-IRAQ"

Maybe he'll apologize for his buddy Dumbya going to China for the Olympics…

Has anybody been wondering besides me why McCain has bashed Obama this entire week, gone golf riding , went to buy cheese, and has yet to talk about the Gas Tax Holiday, how to fix the economy, the jobs lost, and the mortgage crisis?

But yet he has time to meet the Dalai Lama, and plan a cookout.

Is it just me?

Hey - Vote Nader: If Obama said that, I would think the same thing. I'm an independent, so clearly I'm not saying that just based on political party. I wasn't attacking McCain, just stating a fact. And while I do think Tibet needs to be more free, our hands are completely tied by the fact that China owns us - even more so after we financed the Iraq war through them.

McCain is no neo-con…and he sure isn't a Bush.

Conservatives around the country are angry at Bush's afflictions–getting us into Iraq, creating a humongous federal deficit, free-wheeling with government defense contractors and the oil industry–on our dime.

Conservatives would NEVER elect another Bush.
That said–they would also never vote for a President will do just as badly–by pushing the nation towards failed and outdated concepts of European socialist policy and detrimental restrictions and micromanagement of trade–like Obama.

Hopefully the Dalai Lama can quell his inner sadness about never being President.

If you could make another comment like the one you made about Bush-that should be it for McCain. I know you love Obama.

This is a joke. The Dalai Lama probably looked at McCain the same way he looks at Bush "out of touch".

Actually, I'm not a "youngish" voter and simply recognize that the country needs to go a different direction than Bush and the neocons have taken it–a course McCain is willing to continue. It seems to me that the McCain and Bush supporters who are the ones who have learned nothing as a result of their life experience.

Sorry, but the Dalai Lama is voting for Obama…if he could vote.

Let's see what the next McCain Foot In Mouth gaffe will be with The Dalai Lama. Heaven help us.

OK Senator McCain, you are concerned about Tabetan people and the Chinese gevernment. But, you don't care about all those Americans you are willing to send to their deaths so you can feel like a winner?

that would go against any part of the southern baptist extreme conservative, wouldn't it. i mean the dalai lama doesn't believe in god the way that group does, he believes in reincarnation.

Texas trail dog

Boy does that name "dog" fit you. You might want to change your blog name before you go calling other people hateful names, think about it, maybe if you sit real quite no distractions, you might come with something. LOL

Obama all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey, I hope he'll remember his name! ha! ha!

Sen. McSHAME does NOT have a good history of remembering and stating things accurately. He's in constant "LaLa" land. I hope the Dalai Lama can bring some intelligence to this moron before he hurts himself big time.

Oh, please! Some of you Obama supporters are such pathetic hypocrites. If it was Obama who was meeting the Dalai Lama you'd be screaming about what a great world leader Obama is and how religous leaders love him, etc.

The Dalai Lama does not agree with McCain's policies, but he believes in talking with your enemies. Non violence above all. If everyone in the world thought like the Dalai Lama, we would be at peace. If everyone in the world thought like McCain, there would be constant war. What do we really want from our leaders?

As a Buddhist and an Obama supporter, I am really glad to see McCain meeting with the Dalai Lama. Relief for Tibet (and sending suffering) needs to transcend our divisive politics and be find a way into the public discourse.

I seriously hope the meeting goes well, and that both men come away with a better understanding of each other and how move towards common goals in the future.

POOR MCSAME STRESSED OUT. OBAMA PLEASE STOP STRESSING THIS POOR OLD GUY.

GOD GRACIOUS, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO MEET WITH NEXT?

Maybe the Dalai Lama can get McCain to understand that war is not always the answer. Good for him. McCain needs something like this to help calm him done. I swear I almost saw his head explode at least 5 times this week while attacking Obama.

Kenneth in MD,

Please tell me what experience Obama has. It is not just talk and talk. He may be a goor orator but he has no substance. I will vote for John McCain. I also had an opportunity to meet Dalai Lama when i was stationed in Delhi. Sensible people will always accept meeting John McCain. We can trust John McCain for our security, independence and prosperity. Barack is a socialist. Go away.

seeking more spiritual counsel is he?

The Dalai Lama meeting with McCain, really won't help McCain.

An individual needs to change oneself, McCain is McSame!

Maybe McCain wants to donate some dollars after the big sell off to InBev to help the Dalai Lama get his Tibet back from China?

Can't wait to see the video. Bet McLame thinks the Dalai Lama is a Groovy Guru. He is such a Hep Cat.

trying to get some attention mcsame? only Jesus can help you . in your dreams baby. THE YOUNG SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND THE OLD SHALL DREAM DREAMS.

Yes My Friends, today I met with the important leader of Tibit, The Doll of Lama. I told him I am watching the border of Tibit and Pakistan very carefully. America will bomb that border if need be because I know how to win wars.

Wow that would be history, Mr Magoo meets the Dalai Lama . It would be perfect cause the Dalai Lama lived in exile and Mr Magoo lives in exile.

SO I guess now the brain dead PUMAs are going to say, "My God, he's not a Muslim, he's a Buddhist!"

I'm really shocked to see that 41% of Americans support this man with all the evidence that he has nothing to offer. Well, what can I say? Afterall, 29% of the same Americans approve of the job President Bush is doing.

Wake up AMERICA!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!

And yet the media won't be there to cover it, because they'll be too busy gushing over President Obama.

After the tour by Obama in Afghan and Iraq and the show in Germany…McCains therapy ..peace therapy….peace perfect peace…

China would be sending McCain an Obituary notice soon..better watch out john!

aYou people crack me up. IF it not your guy it is wrong and a mistake. Wow, that is stupid!

Maybe the Dalai Lama can instruct McCain on how to be more positive, to stop smearing and lieing and to develop a vision for the future.

McSad…

I can't wait for all you negative people to be John McCain's age and see how you like it when people tell you are old and don't know anything, even though you will probably be very wise and experienced and have a decade or more of good years left in you! OL! You are all a bunch of youngish whiners who clearly haven't lived long enough to go around the block a couple of times! What goes around comes around. I had no idea that Americans believed in age discrimination like this!

Texas Trail Dog! represents the world we can hope to move beyond.

Good - glad they are meeting.

McCain might get a lecture about wars. Better be on his best behavior and not mention the wars he intends to start so he can win another one.

At least he's moved well beyond Hagee and that bunch.

With the Dalai Lama he can discuss freeing India from the Chinese, or was it Burma?

My question is So What?

dalai llama,please tell mccain to stop the occupation of iraq.remind him we look like the chinese in tibet.

Jack, it is not question of just trashing everything, like your candidate's campaign has been seriously doing the last few days. If the meeting generates something substantive, it will get the coverage it deserves. Just quit whining and concentrate on your message and stop the lies and distortations. And tell your candidate to be respective to his rival, they just differ on policies and approaches, calling a fellow senator a traitor is a sad and stupid thing to do.

Go McCain!

Kudos Senator McCain!

Obama, the great pretender, is just an arrogant, egomaniac with no core principles, no moral center and no priorities other than political expediency!

The media may crown Obama but America will not!

so?

nothing new will be said or done because we all know Mcwar signed a deal with the devil,(bush, cheney) to continue their failed policies in exchange for their support.

I hope this gets the coverage it deserves; and I hope McCain can learn from his conversation with his Holiness.

Obama 2008

That is a bad idea. Keep focusing on our economy, MAN…

I believe that the Dalai Lama understands that despite religious convictions–political leaders in the "real world" must defend their nations interests and preserve it's security. If Tibet had a Commander-In-Chief like McCain the Dalai Lama might actually be living back home right now.

We need a President who will preserve our way of life and defend our nation against attacks foreign and domestic. Thankfully, most educated men and women understand you can BS your way to the elections–but to become the protector and defender of the nations way of life–it must be part of your value system to do so willingly without regard for personal gain or safety–and you can't BS that.

GOD IS "HIS HOLINESS"—NOT A MAN!!!

JESUS LOVES OBAMA AND I DO TOO!!

OBAMA '08

dalai llama,please tell mccain to stop the killing in iraq,and remove occupation forces,now.

McCain will press his strategy of surging into Tibet. He says, "Obama is just dead wrong in not supporting the Tibetan surge strategy and without the surge, the creation of a Dalai Lama wouldn't have happened. Remarkable, just remarkable."

Nah….Obama always follow Mccain's lead. Now that Mccain is meeting with the Dalai Lama, Obama will try to book the vaticant next month and make a speech in front of the pope.

what did you expect him to say? We owe China so much MONEY to say anything else would have hurt our chances to borrow more money.

Well he know where Tibet is? One of Bush cabinet member said it's Nepal (refering to Tibet) LOL.

How come I don't see Republicans complaining about photo ops when it's McCain meeting with foreign dignitaries?

first of all,, has mccain EVER answered a question ? he skirts the whole issue,, talks about nuthun really,, hes the poor sport here,, does nuthun but critize,, and yes this speech obama gave was expectional,, so now mccains a wee more jealous,,lol,, hang it up mccain,, your lies and deception doint work with me,,, my vote still goes to obama,,,

i hope the Dalai Lama will ask John McCain the questions CNN and the rest of the "media" are afraid to ask like WHY WONT MCCAIN RELEASE HIS MILITARY RECORDS AND WHY DOES JOHN MCCAIN HAVE SO MANY LOBBYIST WORKING ON HIS CAMPAIGN? i know CNN wont post this, Mccain cries and McCain whines about the media…HIS "political base" not paying attention of him and they fold. come on, who will report on the war with Iran after the NUCS fall? i wish the press had the ballz to ask the real questions.
a woman just killed herself because she was loosing her house….if McCain wins how many others? how many others?

…and so McCain said "Hey, Dali…how about something, you know, for the effort?"

And he said "There will be no tip, but on your deathbed, you will receive total enlightenment."

So, McCain has that going for him.

OBAMA '08

Poor McCain…he finally found someone important to talk to him.

OBAMA - 08!

I also heard McWar will be visiting with MICKEY MOUSE.

Maybe Mickey might be his VP…..stay tuned.

Good for McCain and I hope he nails Obama on not visiting the wounded troops in Germany but doesn't mind putting his mug on camera for non-Americans.

Wow, a meeting of an eastern peace advocate and a western war maverick. Hope McCain doesn't try to explain why the surge worked again.

McCain has to meet with the Dalai Lama cause he's the only "leader" out there willing to talk to him

What? McWar going to meet with a guru of peace and dignity? McCain can't even pull off a town hall without looking mighty uncomfortable and awkward, now he's going to meet with an individual who epitomizes being at ease and peace with oneself and one's surroundings? A feeble attempt, old man, given that nothing is going to steal PRESIDENT Obama's thunder today after his awesome speech in Berlin!
OBAMA '08 & '12–YES WE CAN!!!

DALI LAMA TO McCain: My dear old fella retire now…your work or lack there of has ended. That is true WISDOM!

Texas Trail Dog….are you for real? You must be a very unhappy person.

Now this is the kind of stuff I like to hear from McCain. Please, no more of this "flip flop surge media bias" yapping.

The Dalai Lama can't help him only a Psychiatrist who specializes in Dementia.

People should not see meeting between the HHDL and Senator Maccain from the political angle. Rather HHDL is known for a respected spritual leader round the world, hence Sen Maccain meeting with him is nothing wrong in it. I can understand the Chinese Govt will certainly not like this, because they are yet to learn the true value of freindship and how important is meeting & communicating with other is important. They are like dog tails " one can never succeed in straightened dogs tail by whatever means he/she tries".

Maybe he can pray for him for his support of going into Iraq, killing innocents and distroying the Catholic Church in Iraq. At least Saddham had Catholics in his cabinet. They were free to worship. Most of them have been either killed or fled. I am certain the Dali Lama can understand that. Maybe he can explain that to McBush.

Perhaps the holy one can cast a magic spell and reverse the senility and the near constant gaffe-ness that has stricken McCain.

"After the unpopularity of George W. Bush, the world is waiting to love America again, and many see in Obama, with his youth and his optimism, somebody who can bring that about."

nuff said

Perhaps the Dalai Lama can help with McCain's temper.

Dalai Lama is a separatist and a theocrat.

poor dalai lama, talking with this hypocritical war-loving sellout will be a REAL challenge to his budhist beliefs.

world peace and prosperity is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE with a third-generation military man. he was born and raised military, ALL HE SEES is military action as a solution to the world's problems!

people, dont fall for the right-wing pessimistic junk, there is NOTHING wrong with being positive and HOPEful!

Hope it goes well for McCain because he has had one the crappiest weeks of his campaign, I'm sure, but he asked for it. He also wants to keep the war in Iraq going, aren't we borrowing the money from China? He doesn't want to PO the money source

McBush the warpig meeting with the Dalai Lama?

What a fraud (McSame) i.e…..

YEAH , BECAUSE THE ONLY CROWDS MCCIDIOT WILL GET WILL BE AT GUN POINT!!!!

THE DALAI LAMA LOL

…..exciting…….lol

LMAO that's the best he can do! Good luck gramps!

The fundies aren't gonna be too happy with that.

This should be interesting. They're both equally qualified to be our next president.

McBush doesn't care about Tibet or the Dalai Lama but of course when it is politically in his best interest, he shows he cares! Don't be fooled by McBush Jr.

Can't wait to read all the Obama supporters trash the Dalai Lama and McCain.

Obama Supporter from FL July 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

China's not going to like that…

———————————————————————————————–

But if Sen.Obama was meeting with His Holiness and said these things you would post about how great he is and how China needs to get their act together.

Quit forming your opinions based on party.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Cool two super old guys talking

Oh please, still trying to steal Barack's thunder. It won't work. McCain probably supported Bush going to the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Obama and the Dalai Lama will sit down and talk when Barack becomes president.

Obama 08

Wow, I am impressed. I have to admit that at times McCain has his moments. But, talk is cheep - like as if the US will ever stand up to China, especially now, after going in debt to China over the past 7 years to fight the war in Iraq.

What a man if faith and dignity!!

Obama 2008 + 2012

The Let McCain have his day at disney World..

Can't wait to read all the Sen. Obama supporters trashing His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Sen. McCain.

THE DALAI LAMA KNOWS WHO SHOULD BE AMERICA'S PRESIDENT. IF NOT HILLARY CLINTON THEN HE WILL SETTLE FOR JOHN McCAIN, BUT HE SAYS NO TO GANGSTERS, ANTI-CHRISTIANS, AND LIARS LIKE OBAMA.

I hope McCain gets the solace he has been searching for.

China's not going to like that…
