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.

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.

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!

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

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!

By: Richard

Richard — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:12:11 +0000

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
