John McCain is a Liar and I do not Trust him to make any decisions for me or my family. My Vote is for BARACK OBAMA for President!!

Everyone thinks foreign owned banks are going to step in & save us from this financial crisis…I don't believe they will until after the election. If we are stupid enough to elect McCain-Palin, they'll all be happy to just watch us implode or starve. Survival of the fittest, and let the oil junkies kill themselves.

to my fellow americans, this is the most important election in our lives everything is on the verge of collasping. economy, housing, wall street, gas prices, and wall street, the value of the dollar. and you you have two intelligent men (obama, biden) and then you have two intellectually challenged people mccain 894 of 899 and sarah palin 5 colleges in six years just to get a bachelors degree. and people actually think they know what they are doing. they do not have a clue. we understand that the white americans are the majority and it is basically up to them to decide who the president is going to be and i understand that. but to let the mccain/palin ticket win (or be winning) on just lies and smear is a sad day for america. no other president of harvard law review has ever been president. the highest qualification of office should be morale character and judgement. if mccain/palin win america loses. the writing is on the wall look at all the protesters in alaska people who really know (the real) sarah palin. it seems like she is an anti- christ. and people are swooning all over her, for what? because she can lie and lie and lie. some people think she looks attractive on the outside. how do you think she looks on the inside (from what i have seen and read and gaging from the people that really know her) it is not pretty at all. and john mccain the adulterer ( how can any christian right or left wing who honestly believes in christ can cast a vote for him is only fooling themselves. all empires eventually collapse and america will suffer the same fate. we will be consumed by our own hatred. we cannot continue down this road to destruction. before you cast your vote think. what would jesus do?

The press are picking McCain and Palin apart, but thats a good thing. Exposing the lies, deceit, corruption, and the Bush policy. With Lehman Bros, AIG, Merrill Lynch, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and regional banks going under; yet people want to vote another term for the Bush/Chaney/McCain/Palin/Rove/Nixon ticket? Didn't we learn from 1974? Neo-Con's can't be trusted. Who fixed the economy every time it goes bad? Democrats. What party rescued us from a Great Depression and two world wars? The Democrats. Who's party puts us in big deficit spending, curtails civil rights, always the center of scandal and corrption, and always fools American's? The Republican Party. WAKE UP AMERICA. These jokers and posers have had long enough to screw up our country. KICK THE BUMS OUT! Lets us begin "The Great Republican Purge of 2008." November 4th, the day that the GOP dies as a party!

Future First Lady do not worry about what the media broadcasts, American People know what the truth is, and that's why John McCain is going to be the Next President.

Palin VP –Scary

McCain Pres — scarier

Cindy McCain "First Lady" — scariest of all!!

Come on people, get your facts straight before you go bashing anyone. Gov Palin did not request earmarks herself, they came from universities that are working to better the way fishing and stuff is done up there so we don't over fish/crab. And it is done in full view, not behind some closed doors in a shady, smoke filled back room. Earmarks are part of running congress and budgets. All I have to say is if Obama gets elected, hold on to yuor wallets if you make more than 30k a year, then you are rich in his eyes and you will be taxed to death. All politics is dirty, there are no saints here on either side.

What did the McCains expect – a love fest? All of us need to be held accountable for the words we utter. We can't just keep on lying and expect no one will notice. God, their egos are HUGE!!

This is so funny. I watched the show that day and I laughed, because they thought it was going to be easy. Little did they know, because for some reason they feel like they are not supposed to be questioned on anything. It's like this if they can throw a punch then they should be able to take a punch. We just getting started wait to after the debates. Now if Sarah wants to go on a show besides Oprah, she could go on the view.
Obama/Biden 08

Cry me a river stepford wife! "How dare they ask us real questions about real issues facing this campaign. Were you aware that Barack Obama wants to teach kindergarteners how to have sex? I can't believe you would ask us about substantive, fact based inconsistencies in our campaign". Cindy is right. Get back to the mudslinging garbage that was so effective for POW John. It's a sad day in America when the toughest questions a candidate faces come on "The View". Good work ladies… I never thought I would say that.

Im amazed that people think that McCain is running a dirty campaign….and I guess that Obama HUSSEIN has been honest! Get real!

Finally people who pay attention to the facts, I have been so angry listening to lies being told by Palin . I have worked for 50 years in a management position.. was PTA President,.. girl scout leader,
cub scout mother….., Home Room mother for each of my 4 children,….volunteered numerous hours a year….
worked beside a staff during a terrible strike for 7 months and was responsible to bring the 2 groups together in a cohesive work environment. and I was very successful..I had a special child born with a birth defect who required extra care and I gave it alone..{who has graduated magna cum laude from college and law school } I could go on about my accomplishments…but the point I'am trying to make is I don't think I am qualified to be V.P and neither is Palin.. She reminds me of a high school age show off .
One other thing I don't understand… why does her husband attend all governors meetings and has all e-mails and letters copied to him.?
I agree let's check some of McCain's claims on the View:

guys should see Jon Stewart clips on Gender Card. It was an excellent clip on what McCain campaign and the Republicans are about. Like the lady on SNL said, "mainstream media" needs to borrow the "pair" from the girl who played Hillary Clinton and ask questions on issues and not roll on the farm animal crap

Yeah, blame all on Obama, for not accepting your so-called townhall-meeting proposal. When you run out of honest argument to present to the American people on why you think you should be president, it is only logical that you resort to lying, hoping that it sells again; afterall, we've bought it before, maybe we are still dumb enough to buy it again. And, how can it be an affront on the electorate if they end up believing it for real? How I see it, the mother of all the lies, so far, has been how he is said to always put country first, and the claim of the word "maverick." How can you be a maverick, and be said to put country first with such a reckless pick for running mate? Some went along with the notion that he would "rather lose an election than lose a war," as he likes to say; but, certainly, he's betting again that the electorate does not have the brains to sought through all the lies. The talk of a "clean-picking" surprise on the View gets my sympathy for sure.

Wow, this should be called the CNN Liberal Ticker! Yeah, like the View is a well balanced news show. One conservative and a bunch of shout you down, low blow, blindsiding liberals. I guess McCain should be reprimanded for running such a "dirty" campaign, I mean with all of those fact filled respectable and civilized political ads the Dems are running each day, come on people!

It seems to me that the Mccain campaign and the Republican party has lost credibility and respect not only from the national media, but from many voters in this country. I mean think about it, the RNC was a complete joke, two chief republican strategists were caught on live tv (msnbc) expressing how "cynical" the Mccain campaign is, Mccain himself is attacking the media calling them bias, the VP candidate for the GOP is basically inexperience and hasn't done anything substantial during her time in politics, the republican campaign is linked to lobbyists, records show that Palin and Mccain have in fact recieved federal earmarks, and to top it all off, both of them have been caught lying to the national media and also the American people. If you are part of the republican party and you took a serious look at the electoral map, you shouldn't feel all that comfortable knowing that typical republican base states like North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, Lousiana and also Virginia could potentially turn blue.
White Independent voter for Obama/Biden 2008-2016
P.S.- The right change will indeed come to America!

Rolls his eyes….More fake outrage by the McCain directed towards the media. If they found the questioning tough because they are running a very closed, secretive, and dirty campaign. Every time someone calls the McCain camp to the floor on their distortion of facts they get all bent out of shape about it. Maybe he should stick to real issues instead of launching attacks every other day. It is kind of funny that they can't come up with anything positive to bring to the table so they steel other peoples ideas, like that of CHANGE!!!! Suddenly they are the reform party and the party of new ideas. But, there is only one person who has brought any new ideas to the political reality in Washington, and that is Barack Obama.

Poor Cindy shouldn't trust the polls… they are no more reliable than the vetting that was done on Palin. The balloon is leaking and beginning to fall. It won't be long before reality sets in …. no matter how you package them….it's the same Bush agenda….

1. TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH
2. CONTINUE LOOKING FOR EVIL TO DEFEAT = MORE PRE-EMPTIVE WARS
3. LESS DIPLOMACY / MORE WAR
4. SUPPORT BIG OIL= DRILL,DRILL,DRILL!
5. APPOINT PRO-LIFE SUPREME COURT JUDGES (overturn Roe v Wade)
6. SUPPORT TORTURE (McCain was against it before he was for it)

We don't need to "reform" the Bush policies, WE NEED TO CHANGE THEM!

Well today is the 14th and all kinds of truths are coming out about the VP pick. I am just getting the news and just wait there will be more bad news that will hit the fan. We must turn out in larger that large to vote for the Obama ticket. I fear new reports are going to get worse if we don't support Obama now. We don't have a lot of time to play with what is happening in this election. You now see Sara is not what John McCain want you to believe. Were you paying attention to her interview and the answers she was giving that alone is frightening. John McCain is trying to make a fool of the American people and you guys that have not awaken to what is going on will get us in more trouble than we are in now if that is possible and believe me it is like voting for Bush all over again. I am afraid after learning the truth about the VP and knowing the truth about John McCain. It is so important to make a change from John McCain Bush to Obama and trust the change for the better and look forward to a change and a new beginning with new ideas, new everything for the better.

All you dems are afraid of how McCain is gaining on Obama. Obama should be winning big time in the polls, but he is not. I think people are beginning to see him as a money spending liberal big time.
Why should he tax people who work hard for there money and give it to some (not all) people who are just plain lazy. We have to pay for all these single woman just having baby after baby with many men who do not support there childred. It goes from generation to generation. My husband worked hard for what we have and why should we be taxed on investments that we have for our golden years. Yes, I consider myself lucky that my husband had a job that paid him very well. We put three children through college and never got any rebates and paid thousands of dollars in fedreal and state taxes. He paid the top amount of social security for years. We live in the NY NJ area which is not cheap to live with high taxes and insurance. We also pay our own health insurance which is very expensive. Why should Obama punish people like us for working hard. We are retired now but I feel sorry for our children who will be punished for trying to make a living and giving it up for Obama's special programs that he will need billions of dollars for. I agree we need something done about things like health insurance, immigration and keeping jobs here in USA, the things he is promising is crazy. I do not want the kind of health insurance Canada has, it is a nightmare, but something has to be done about hight premiums for health insurance. He wants every child to get a free college education. I know kids who worked very hard to put themselves through college and parents who sacraficed for education there children. My husband worked in steel mills in the summer to help his father pay for his college. Why do we have to pay for that. Also, why must we pay for all the immigrants health insurance and there elderly parents who they bring into this country and get social security as soon as they set foot in USA. That is one thing McCain or Obama would not discuss. They are all afraid of talking about it. Obama will cost us taxpayers big time if Obama is elected.

The view needs to be taken off the air. Nobody cares what those women think. They were rude, disrespectful and did their best to humiliate and embarras. This seems to be a repeating pattern with most if not all democratic interviews.. Everything they have to say about the McCains can also be said about Hussain Obama. Who gives a rip about how many homes they have anyway? Now lets see if CNN can handle an e-mail that isn't for Obama.

I thought McCain did a good job fending off the vipers at The View. Take the time to watch the entire segment. Really, do you think those nags are going to intimidate someone that survived REAL torture?

I can understand Mrs. McCain wanting to point out the treatment her husband received – Walters was rude. Tough questions are okay, but not allowing the man to answer is rude. Did they allow Obama to answer his questions…with all his uhhs and ahhs?

That slavery question posed by Whoopie was ridiculous and offensive. I suggest you CNN sheep learn a little history…the Republican Party was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists and has always supported equality.

Your inability to recognize how the back room Democrats push your 'anger' buttons is sad. Just read what you've all written above…pathetic and predictable. Develop an original thought – repeating buzz words like Rove, Halliburton, same, Bush third term, and seven houses (when did success become bad? – your Hollywood gods are wealthy) leads me to believe you can't articulate your thoughts outside of the narrow parameters of your mantra. Really, if anyone marches in lock step – it's your side.

They picked your bones clean because your rotting meat was stinking up the room, and there wasn't much else to brag about. Cindy McCain can't defend her husband's answers on substance, so she's defending them on the authority of poll numbers instead.

Max… "FALSE"? "False" somewhat sounds like there was no intention behind those misleading statements. Let's call them straight by its name: "LIES". I don't know what's on US TV (I live in Canada), but I hope DEM are making TV ads, calling every single McCain "false" statement "A LIE" and air them all over the US until the day of the election, since apparently US medias are not making headline containing "Lies" and "McCaiin" in the same sentence. It's a shame. Let the people really know McCain by his real name: "Lier".

By the way, we Canadians have universal health insurance run by each provincial (i.e. state) government, but we have full freedom to decide which doctors we go see. Another lie by McCain. No one in Canada loses his/her house because of high medical bills.

What to you expect, Ms. McCain? You are certainly smart enough to see the truth.

Today, during one of the Sunday morning news talk shows, a noticed a political commercial that I initially thought was an Obama commercial because it included John McCain extolling Sarah Palin’s saying no thanks to Congress for the “bridge to nowhere.” I thought this was an Obama commercial because the bridge to nowhere story has long since been emphatically proven to be a monumental exaggeration (Palin was for the bridge when running for governor, then against it after it had been ridiculed as pork and Congress had rejected it. And in the end, she arranged for Alaska to keep the pork anyway). But it was a McCain commercial, still using that tired line.

Then it hit me. The truth doesn’t matter. The McCain campaign, like the Bush campaign before it, is appealing to the yes/no voter who thinks every problem has a simple answer, and if we are sufficiently macho as a country everyone will fear us and fall in line. We just have to “kick their butts” and our enemies will see it our way. Well, that approach has clearly been debunked by the Iraq debacle, and now the McCain team thinks saber-rattling with Russia will have a positive result. These are extraordinarily complex problems, their solutions do not lend themselves to one-word answers, and they are way too complex for Ms. Palin to describe, much less to deal with in office.

So, you folks have earned the hard questions. You are truly dangerous for the country.

I'm shame for the McCains! I'm a registered Republican from the state of Idaho. But I can not go on with circus of Bush's base any longer.
Such a nice photo of Ms Cindy How-Many-House-Do-We-Own McCain. This truly shows the rationally of what the right wing will bring to the White House as First Lady (Yuk!) – should make this photo the “Poster Child” for the GOP since they don’t want to be called the Republican Party any more. Let’s get on with the issues Cindy! Obama will be the winner in both the debuts and the election. This election will put the Republican Revolution of '94 to rest finally.

Obama/Biden in 2008 and beyond

Cindy if your honest(I doubt it) you will show all of your tax returns which will probably show tax evasion like your uncles tax indictment. Does Hensley & Co. deduct all of its payments to you for planes, cars,etc???

This is hilarious. It was one of the best shows of "The View" that I have ever seen. I was afraid that with Partisan Elisabeth that it would be another snoozer. The ladies were absolutely honest and asked the questions we all wanted answers to. And by the way the McCain's have 9 houses not 7. No wonder they lose count. Like Whoopie said, the strict enforcement of the constitution would put some of us back into slavery. The rights of women in Roe v. Wade would be overturned. So for all of you supposed Hillary Supporters who are playing a game, you had better wake up before McSame and McPalin turn back the clocks of history pertaining to the rights of women. John McCain had to know that he would someday have to answer for his smear campaign against Barack Obama while protecting Sarah Palin under some amendment I missed out on that obviously has to do with the rights of a vice presidential candidate to not be exposed to the american public if that candidate happens to be a woman.

Go View!!!

Cindy should stop complaining and give some advice to her husband. A man with a career built on service and integrity has decided that it is worth losing all that in order to win a political campaign, and therefore, is running the dirtiest and most dishonest campaign in history. Alas, it appears that voters in the world's greatest democracy are willing to buy his lies.

For the past several weeks (and months), I have been entertained by the best television in TV history – the American presidential election race. However, my amusement is starting to turn to anger and worry as I watch the insanity starting to grow south of our border. I cannot believe that there appears to be so many idiots prepared to back such a right wing 'barracuda' as Sarah Palin! I find it almost frightening that there is even a chance that Palin could become president (should the republicans get back in and something happen to McCain). I fear for your country and for ours as well should that happen. It's time for the Obama campaign to produce some fierce ads that shock the American public out of their lunacy. Forget turning the other cheek and playing fair. The stakes are MUCH too high!!

McCain beat out Romney by repeating the same 'proven lie' over and over (see their last debate) until it stuck. He's lied about Palin selling the jet for a profit. He's distorted Obama sound-bytes for negative ads. He recrutied Palin, who has lied about……well, it would be quicker to list what she hasn't lied about.
It makes it hard to believe that he's half the war hero he says he is. It makes it hard to discount reports that he started the USS Forrestal fire that killed 136 sailors, with juvenile antics (wet-starts).
How can anyone believe anything coming out of the McCain-Palin campaign???
I've been waiting for someone to come forth with the plums to say it to his face. Thank-you Barbara Walters, for providing those plums!!

McCain has been finally called out for all his lies and negative distortion ads and you are upset? Maybe if your husband had not traded his integrity and character out of desperation to win, he would not find himself being properly held accountable by the media. No McCain and his joke of a VP choice near the White House! By you trying to defend your husband you make him look weaker than we already know he is. Go shopping and leave the politics to serious people. Obama is the only honest candidate with the character and integrity to run this country. His VP choice of Biden was outstanding. Together they bring strong credenitals and real and intelligent plans to fix this nation that your husband and Bush have destroyed these past 8 years. Unlike McCain and Palin, they are people of honor and will truly work to restore the quality of life for the rest of us. Even Karl Rove has called your husband a liar. Talk about bad press! Obama and Biden are our next leaders in the White House!

And now Cindi…your husband has sold his soul for so little that even Karl Rove is picking his bones.

They picked your bones clean???

Uh, Cindy….

Maybe that's because there isn't much MEAT on those bones!

It's about time a journalist finally started actually *earning* a day's work with these candidates. Good job, Barbara!

The questions on The View are considered tough? What has this nation and its media come to?
If only you were still here, Tim Russert.

McCain is going strong and people knows it. On the other hand, the democrats don't have much to say. It is time for strong leaders to take charge of this country. Barbara was asking about reforms, perhaps we should review the educational level, and its discipline. This is only one example of what needs to be reformed.

I watched the View and McCain got off easy. He got away with lies about Palin's record as well as his own. For example, he declared he hasn't changed his position on any issues which is a lie. He was AGAINST the Bush tax cuts but now he's for them. It's shameful the way John McCain has run his campaign.

Do not worry Mccain , all that nasty talk will vaporate when you are at the oval office

McCain 08
for a safe USA

McCain got what he deserved from the View It is about time that the Rape-publicans started answering some tough questions instead of circling the wagons to protect their "barbie doll" aka Sarah Palin who can't come up with an original thought of her own. Clearly, McCain either did not know or lied about some of the questiosn that were asked of him regarding his VP choice. "I will veto the first pork barrel spending bill that comes across my desk. I will make them famous and you will know them by their names". Well,the first name we should know about is Sarah Palin- $27 miliion for Wasilla a town with a population of about 5000 at the time Palin was mayor. Gee if my math is correct that amounts to about $5400 per person in federal earmark money.

I wish they had grilled him even harder about the nasty ads. He was supposed to run a clean campaign and now he's blaming Obama for not doing town hall meetings. So he gets what he deserves? Give us a break! How ridiculous – McCain can't even answer the question because he is probably so ashamed. I think the country respected him in 2000, but now he has sold out.

Lord help us if he wins.

You tell em Cindy! Seems the more the press trashes Palin, her family -or McCain – the more the American people respect, admire the team. Just check out the polls – seems the American people are waking up to who is the best team to lead our country – and it is NOT obama – in spite of the media pushing him on us.

Bills Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar – highly educated from both the US and also from Oxford. George bush had a degree from Yale – also educated. Barak Obama is highly educated from nation's top schools (Columbia and Harvard). Of course Joe Biden double majored in both history and political science complemented by a law degree from Syracuse University in NY. What do McCain and Palin have? Palin has a degree in journalism (from Idaho) from and McCain has a degree in aviation (I am not sure if it's a 1-yr flying certificate of a 2-yr community college education or a 4-year degree). How would these two (McCain and Palin) run a country with so many intellectuals? Are Americans thinking of that before voting for these people? Americans must stand up to save this great nation, its research and development and his heritage by electing only those educated ones who can understand the significance of innovation.

I am stunned to find out that McCain-Palin has over 30% votes.

Cheers.

S

I have never in my 40 years seen such a dishonorable campaign with so much complaining and playing the refs. Finally someone asks McCain exactly what everyone is thinking about his campaigns lies and they cry. If he had a good answer for these questions than it wouldn't be a big deal. He knows that he has sold out.

I think the repubs should really check some facts before they speak. I mean one lie after another . Palin has no clue about her on state facts never mind the BUSH DOCTRIN

This is from factcheck.org.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin sat down with ABC News' Charlie Gibson for an interview, part of which aired Sept. 11. In the exchange, the Alaska governor misstated a basic fact about her state's energy production:

Palin: Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United States.

According to the federal government's Energy Information Administration, Alaskan wells produced 263.6 million barrels of oil in 2007, or 14.3 percent of the total U.S. production of 1.8 billion barrels.

But Alaskan production accounts for only 4.8 percent of all the crude oil and petroleum products supplied to the U.S. in 2007, counting both domestic production and imports from other nations. According to EIA, the total supply was just over 5.5 billion barrels in 2007.

As a tentative viewer of "The View," I've stuck with it all these years, primarily because of admiration for Barbara Walters. How sad that she especially pounded John McCain unfairly, because I no longer will watch her show, even sporadically. There are professional ways to interview these candidates without getting nasty and harshly critical, even if they don't agree with their platforms. Unfortunately, the women on "The View," including Walters, have not managed to learn that fact. The one exception is Elizabeth Hesselbeck, and she's no match for the mistresses of hatred she's seated with daily. One question I've always wanted the answer to: Don't these people know that one-half their TV audiences are turned off by their brazen show of partisanship? They must not — and I'm glad Cindy McCain has stood up to them.

So as this household did for Matthews and Olbermann at MSNBC, this tacky ABC show has been erased from our "view."

Good grief, what a little hot house flower! McCain is running a deceitful, smear and lie driven campaign and when he is finally called on it his wife throws a hissy.

Someone needs to tell Cindy that just because she has 7 houses, that doesn't mean she needs to put makeup on at each one of them.

I saw the view. I must have seen something different than Cindy McCain. Does she and Senator McCain believe we're so stupid that they can lie to us anywhere and anytime? Senator McCain selected Governor Palin without properly vetting her. Now the campaign is using a blame the liberal media strategy to keep anyone from asking her tough questions. I believe they will sequester her until election day.

Everyday something negative is being reported about Govenor Palin. Troopergate was being investigated before Senator McCain selected Governor Palin as is VP and now his campaign operatives are trying to foil troopergate until after the election. The republicans have no shame, they will do anything.

What's even sadder, a lot of poor American will vote against their own interest in voting for him. I can't figure out what they believe they have in common with Senator McCain. He's not poor, he doesn't live from pay check to pay check, he doesn't have to worry about health insurance, he doesn't have to worry about gas prices, food or his job being shipped overseas. So, someone tell me, what does Senator McCain have in common with poor people?

John McCain is senile and has sacrificed all his integrity. I don't know who would vote for a man who would give up his integrity just to win an election. The thought of him in the white house makes me want to VOMIT!!!

There definitely wasn't any fisrt bumps going on between they view hosts and Cindy. That's for sure!

McCain is winning and will be winning by a larger margin next week. After the debates, Obama will be unmasked as he is finally forced to answer a questions without a teleprompter or Mr. Axelrod.

It is about time that people start calling you and your husband out on all of the lies. He can't remember what to say and you don't know what to say.

Did you know America ranks 17TH!!!! for free countries (Democracies) out of 23!!! in the world???!!

Sarah Palin wanted to censor a book called "Pastor I am Gay" at the library in her little town.

THE VIEW picked their bones clean? Wait until McCain gets in front of REAL journalists. The ones he's avoided talking to for 4 weeks. I've heard of Presidents with "bunker mentality" before… never a presidential CANDIDATE.

It is my sincere hope the medie keeps after the McCain sleezy tactics the worst of which is adding Palin to the ticket ,be it done by talk shows, comedy, or the news anchors. We had Bush foisted on us twice. We don't deserve another round of disengenuous figureheads.

after that grilling, were for sure not going to get our hands on palin! their's no way she would'nt crack under a barage of questions like that!!!

Has anybody asked OBAMA to tell us what he is going to "change"?

BLAME THE MEDIA AND NOT YOURSELF. ENOUGH JOHN AND CINDY, ENOUGH. THE MEDIA IS NOT YOU FRIEND AND NEVER HAVE BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE. JUST LIKE REPORTING A BASKETBALL GAME IF YOU DO SOMETHING GOOD THEY HAVE GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU. IF YOU DO SOMETHING BAD, THEY HAVE BAD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU. IN THIS CASE YOU DID SOMETHING BAD, YOU ARE RUNNING BAD ADS. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT.

Obama , His Campaign ( This Includes The Shrinking Few That Are Supporting Him ) , Are Way Out of Touch With The main Stream America !!! As Is Being Shown In All The Main Stream Polls !!!.

I'm A Life long Democrat Who is Behind John McCain & Sarah Palin , All The way To The White House .

Obama Is To " Green " To A Vice Presidential Canidate , Let Alone A Major party Presidential Canidate !!!! .

Democrat Voting McCain / Palin 2008 , Maybe 2012 !!!!!!

In 1996, Bob Dole, a true honorable war hero (who doesn't parade his heroism – that truly makes him a hero), ran an honorable campaign and lost. The Republicans didn't understand how the nation voted to re-elect Clinton (gee, strong economy isn't a good reason?), so they decided the problem was they ran an honorable campaign.

So in 2000, they ran a dishonorable campaign and won. In 2004 the Democrats countered by nominating another honorable man, John Kerry. The GOP ran an even more dishonorable campaign against him. It worked.

So in 2008, the Republicans decided to take dishonor to a new level. But they will find that you can finally go too far. "Swift-boating" has entered the common lexicon; this means that swift-boating will no longer work.

Cindy Mccain cannot dress. Enough said.

The #1 thing pushing people toward McCain: the obnoxious Obama supporter

You people make me sick — you aren't even people anymore, jsut pundits swallowing hook line and sinker anything 'bama squeals.

Guess I write in Ron Paul

Behar is a Fat PIG…. how rude to anyone….. NO RESPECT at all to a man running for PRESIDENT … where is this country going…. no morals and no respect for anyone….GOD help us…. negitive negitive I will never watch that show EVER again

She has nothing to complain about… if her husban would tell a shred of truth they'd leave him along. She should go home and wait for the nightmare to end.

When politics becomes nothing else but a game to manipulate opinions through distortion of words and cut and paste; and when lies become the norm and the practice; we the voters form long lines in front of the "Lost and Found" department seeking the truth!

I actually saw some of this interview. In the interview, Senator McCain was anything but forthcoming in his answers. If, the Presidential want to be can't even give honest answers to Americans, how is he going to lead the strongest nation on earth? He can't. AS for his wife? Let they who have no skeletons cast the first stone, and she definitely does not foot the bill. I don't see why the DNC doesn't air her problems and attitudes, as they have Obama's wife.

"The American people rely on the media to help give them a clearer picture of our country's future leaders."

Yeah I have seen the media tear apart the dishounorable Biden. Not!!

The more you read about Biden's past the more you don't like the guy.

I want to commend CNN for its very fair biography of Gov. Palin, "Sarah Palin Revealed." I say this as a former journalist, who has watched in disgust as journalists I knew in Washington turned into partisan lap dogs for the Obama campaign. Historical Democratic bias is nothing new, expected. This year has left that far behind. Your interviewer was refreshing. I'd like to see more of him.

For pete's sake, Cindy, stop your whining. At least the women on the view had the guts to ask the questions none of the other media will.

And, by the way…how in touch with Americans are you, Ms. $300K+ outfit? When is the last time you had to run to the corner convenience store in the middle of the night on your way home from your second job to by some milk so your kids would have some for breakfast before they go off to school?

Puhleeze! Give me a break.

Ohh …. I feel so sorry for the corrupt Christian Republican Church Party

I really don't care about anything but what is going on with our free world. How long will it be free and how long can the free world continue to pay high gas, lost of homes, jobs,food, education, insurance , and a host of other big problems we are facing. Cindy,Sara and little John does not extist in my world and you should do what dogs do with bones and that is to bury them. Sara insulted the Black race and according to Sara who stated she has Black friends and you are one of them you have just been insulted and you should run for your life. I am afraid of her and fear fifty years of back issues. and struggles. Sara has more baggage than the Clintons if you can believe that. Sara insulted Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, Harriett Tubman, Nelson Mandela just to name a few are Community Orgaizers. Please every race , color, size, man , woman, teens of voting age go out and vote. Please, please do not let the republicans with a small r get back in the white house. Do you realize what is going on and how bad this county is. Please, Please don't let this happen. Ladies if you are reading this comment don't let Sara and little John fool you for your vote . They are using you and you can't even see that.

Actually, this IS what real Americans are talking about. In college, liberals AND conservatives are concerned about McCain's positions and his choice of Palin – men AND women. At home, in a mainly-conservative town, almost everyone is talking about what a horrible pick Sarah Palin was… and many are wondering what McCain was thinking. Don't let Cindy McCain try to think for you, think for yourselves.

Oh well, Cindy McCain. Welcome to the real world. The View just took a stance and did what the media was needing to do with your husband and Sarah Palin's lying campaign agenda . Yeah, they picked his bones on the real issues and took him to task. And if Sarah comes on there, she is next. She won't be on there will all of that rhetoric and lies she spews at the rallies. The View hosts will take her to task too and call her out and come against those lies she continues to speak. The media needs to get some backbone and ask those same questions to McShame and his Palin cohort.

Get out of the fire if you can't stand the heat!

Ha, ha, ha! McCain/Palin will win.
Go Hope-Change yourselves elsewhere.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Isn't it just so typical of her to complain about about her husbands honest treatment on "The View"; Did you see Obama complaining about his harsh and disrespectful treatment on those 4 interviews on "O'Riellys show"? Well if you didn't, than it's rather evident that he took the unfair lumps in stride without complaint. Now that's a real man!

The CNN poll of polls shows them up by one, I'd hardly call that "pulling ahead"!!! And if you don't like your bones picked clean – STOP LYING!!!

If you can't stand the heat. …….

THEN GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN !!!!

It is amazing that Cindy McCain didn't want to talk about how many houses she has. It is actually nine. I hope the mainstream media start talking about the issues and truly start contrasting them instead of allowing the Republicans to continue to dictate to them what to print. Do your job MSM.

Not sure why the McCain's went on The View. The "hosts" are too biased to conduct a respectable interview. And why do they bother to ask the guests questions when they don't want to give them a chance to provide an uninterupted response? Barbara Walters has either allowed the twits around her to drag her down, or, her true colors are showing.

Face the truth and the tough questions. You lied and they were calling you out.

Is this the first time Cindy has ever used the "poor me" phrase????

snipe, snipe, snipe, bitter old rich lady.

I watched the view. A presidental candidate should be able to answer any question. Guess it isn't fun to try to defend yorself when you know you are a LIAR!

McCain is sexist…using women to do his bidding and to hide behind…

Well, she pays his bills… she might as well fight his battles too.

Must be nice to live in delusional wealthy world, Cindy.

Picked our bones clean
If you dont stop the lies, the public might break your bones.

Can hand it out but just can't take it.

LOL@

OH please Cindy, spare me! Go cower in one of your seven houses and stay there..

Very funny……

Who gave Barbie McCain a microphone?

Lipstick anyone?

With her past "problems" I don't think it's very wise to attack the ladies of the View. She can't call them sexist.

the McCains and Sarah Palin want to be treated with "deference" as though they were Popes or Royalty instead of like the sleazy politicians that they are.

I watched the show and I loved it!

About time somebody question all he's lies!

I can't wait for Palin to go and the view….
It will be the end of the republican party haha

Don't believe the polls, Obama and Biden are gonna kick butt!

Max please

Come on dude, get an educations. Obama did 5 times that amount in Earmarks. Palin is not alone.

You tell 'em Cindy. I don't know why McCain does media interviews anymore. If they're just going to sit there and bash him to his face its kind of dumb.

I guess the McRich thought that the view would be a cake walk and talk about outfits, shoes, and accessories.

That's what happens when you underestimate women. Try Ellen and see how far you can get.

Apparently people didn't hear Dennis Kucinich

Yeah, Cindy McCain lying about the lies!

Please hush up, Cindy. You are married to a cynical liar…and he was exposed for the trashy campaign he is willing to run. He has completed the sale of his soul.

Wellllll … your husband shouldn't be lying on his ads. Deal with it.

i like Mccain-it's that palin that grates on my last nerve!!!!! i will never vote for Palin!

McCain lied his way through the tough questions!

Maybe the media isn't being hard enough. You know their lying is bad when Rove calls them on it!!

Darlin Cindy, please go back to the rock that you and Gov. Air-Head crawled out from under.

I think Hillary Clinton's call to arms should be: "No way, no McCain, no Pain."

wah! wah! wha!

shut up home wrecker….that will be cindy.

Go away, Ms. $300,000 convention outfit. You haven't a clue.

You'll see, when McCain loses, Cindy will blame God also.

WHY SHE IS SO ANGRY? THE TRUTH HURTS

My vote is for McCain!

Who cares how many houses they own? It's the issues they should be talking about not houses.

mccain is of the same we need a change in washington and the whole world agrees with that

Cindy McCain is delusional. Her husband is a liar. His new name should be McSleaze.

Does the truth hurt, Cindy? Can't your man take it like a man?

They can dish it but they can't take it.

If it walks like a liar. And it talks like a liar. I think it's safe to call it a liar. McCain/Palin lie. They're liars.

WAHHHHHHHH, I'm a McCain and I can't take tough questions, everyone feel sorry for us!

The McCains love to lie

We need MORE journalism, not less, Cindy. Sorry about the tough questions and all.

The only reasom McCain is pulling ahead is because of the Palin phenomenon.

Scary ticket!

Cindy McCain go sit down…you sound like an idiot. That is exactly what people around the country are thinking. Is Sarah Palin a fraud? Is your husband a liar? Those are all question, I think about,

What a whiner. How can you be respected to be a tough leader if you can't handle tough questions?

===============ohhhhhhh gosh

==========don't u dare americans to ask any Question from

mcWar/paLien!

—————–they want your vote……..but no tough Qestions———–

By end of this election she'll be back on the pain killers! Guaranteed!

That was good for McCain and you. Do you think people are stupid? Every one knows what is going on, McCain is such a liar, and his lie will come back and hunt him with his Sarah. God doesn't like ugly.

Sad when The View is asking the questions that the mainstream media is too afraid to ask. When will you put McCain in the hotseat CNN?

I am a register republican… ashame and very upset of how McCain is running his campaign.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Ha! Aww, poor hubby was held accountable….for once.

Oh boo hoo. Grow up, Cindy.

What is the Bush doctrin?

OH MY!!! Cindy is TOO ANGRY to be First Lady! LOL

Barbara Walters has been a highly respected and fair journalist for years. For McCain & homewrecker to complain about bias is fake outrage…again.

For those of you who do not Tivo The View to watch the Hot Topics like I do, both McCain AND Obama , along with several other presidential candidates were guests of The View before the conventions. Once the conventions occurred, and the nominations were accepted, why wouldn't the tone change as far as the media is concerned. I have read many people comment that the ladies were unfair, not treating both candidates the same. They ALL were given easy questions, getting to know you questions and what makes you different from the others questions. But, now that the field has narrowed considerably, they need to be held to a different standard. Let's hope that the Obama's ARE on together so that they can answer the same questions. (Let's hope that Elizabeth takes a sick day. Although her politics sicken me , I think the conversation would be interesting but she plays dirty, like the McCain campaign. What goes on behind the scenes should not be used the way she did. Very spiteful!)
Obama / Biden 2008-2016

Ignorance is Bliss!!!

You go View girls….

At least McCain didn't get rattled like Obama does when someone questions him. Obama acts like no one is supposed to disagree with him. The way McCain was treated on the View was ridiculous! I don't know why anyone would watch that idiotic show.

The women of The View were too tough for McCain???

ROFL. What will McCain and Palin do when they finally face actual…journalists (of which there seem to be precious few left–especially on television).

What rubbish…they asked why ur husband was lying. This is a legitimate question and why is it that I hear more complaints from the republicans than I do from the democrats.

Seriously! First it was the race card, then sexism and I hear agism is about to come up soon. I mean is this a joke to republicans?!!

I thought the America people will realise their mistake by electing george w bush in 2004, but it seems like many people are just too dumb to know that mccain is lying about almost everything. if macsame win this election you guys will have more problem around the world.

Yeah The View was all over your husband trying to get McLiar to tell the truth. But as usually he defended himself with a lie. Now Cindy coming out talking like this. You have got to be kidding me. I hope this Cindy chick does not have her hand in the medicine cabinet again.

How in the world can Palin handle dealing with nations that might not respect us when she can't deal with reporters?

Put the Barbie doll back in the box. She sounds ridiculous! The republicans can not believe that the Democrats, Independents and yes some fellow republicans are finally calling them out on their lies and will no longer accept POW as a reason for every LIE this fool sputters.

Obama/Biden 08 & 12

Well, Cindy just go over to Fox News and they will hold your hand and let the republicans spread BS to all of America or just the nut jobs that really believe that McSame means change.

They are liberal idiots! What do you expect?

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008/2012!

They're just playing the same old game. "Waah, waah, wahh, the media doesn't like us." Anything to distract voters from the issues and their ideas for tackling them should he be elected President.

The media is just trying to get at the truth. The McCain campaign is reacting just like the Bush administration. The strategy is clear: Deceive, Deny, Complain, Spread Fear, then repeat.

It's been clear from the start that they have no original ideas. The whole campaign is based upon pandering to voters. That's until they get into office and just like "W" has done, then, they'll just continue to abuse their power and ignore the American people.

If the plan of extending tax cuts for the wealthy is a such a great idea, then why are we still losing jobs? That's because the plan of trusting the wealthy to reinvest in American workers is flawed. Anyone who cannot see this has not been paying attention for the last 8 years.

If the media really wanted to pick their bones clean they would be asking more details about her previous drug addiction, how she justified a relationship with a married man, why they waited until after they saw that the Obama campaign for Change was successful before they latched onto it and claimed it as their own, why Sara Palin requires so much coaching before the media has access to her, and after his display of bad judgment as a member of the "Keating 5″, why we should now trust him.

Cindy, I am sure you of all people know how dishonorable your hubby is. Quit lying to yourself.

I am glad they didnt pick Meghan McCain's bones clean…I like a girl with a little chunkiness!

Cindy, after all the lies and untruths your husband is telling what does he expect? Go buy yourself a life. Or two. Whiner.

Its sad for McCain that he got challenged by the View women.
the *women* from the the casual TV show asked him questions he couldn't answer and was squirming. He got exposed and didn't have any proper answers and Cindy is saying these are "tough interviewers".
Dear lord… America is doomed if McCain wins. We will have ignorant hillbillies and mooses running the White House.
Imagine if the MSM whose job it is to report facts and ask tough questions did their job.

I miss Tim Russert. He was the only one who would ask the tough questions. Rest are all women. The View ladies are the real men.

Obama '08 and '12

Cindy:

DO you know why McCain married you?

Why is that everytime an interviewer asks the questions the voters want answers to it's attacking McCain and their campaign?

Why shouldn't McCain/Palin be transparent, I mean they are after all working towards change for US?

YEA RIGHT….

I'm so tired of hearing the McCain camp complain because people want answers!

CNN please post this.

Cindy you mean Elisabeth did not protect you on the VIew? How sad, I felt sure she would of wrestled the other women down if they asked a hard question of your senile old husband. All you are proving is that you can lie as well as he does, good for you. Why am I not surprised!!Quit your crying is all I can say!!!!!!!!

The View did what the media should doing. Our media outlets are filled with spineless people.

In my opinion all the candidates should be asked tougher questions on all forums.There are too many difficult problems to be addressed and all parties involved should be held accountable for misstruths,slander and the reality of statements made and sanctioned by their spin machines.

Quit whining, Cindy. Your husband is being called out on his LIES and it's about time! He needs to face MORE of that kind of tough questioning.

This Republican is voting for Obama. Shame on McCain and Palin for their sleazy, dishonest campaign!!!

I loved the view, they hit the nail on the head.They were great,
and they said what the american people are saying.

Why is there is "come join us" Obama/Biden ad on the home page of CNN? What has happened to honest and balanced coverage?

YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!

Yeah, just like the lies in those ads attempted – in a failed way – to "pick Obama clean."

If it was not lies why didn't he have answers to any of the questions. Why was he so uncomfortable? Only liars act that way.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
It's too bad the ladies of the View roughed you up so much.

It is pretty sad when "The View" has to do the job of the corporate media.

Why should the truth hurt honest people? This spoiled lady would be quite comfortable in FANTASYLAND.

ONLY STUPID MIND LISTENS TO YOU GUYS. WE ARE NOT SO STUPID AS YOU GUYS MAY THINK.

Welcome to the world of intelligent women Cindy! Gosh, what did you think was going to happen, that you were there for a tea party. Your campaign is becoming the campaign of lies not change…or don't you have a grasp of facts. You are getting very desperate and will do anything to get that new house on Pennsylvania Ave. The maverick fell off his horse in 2000 and hit his head…he decided to become a real Republican.

Time for you and your whining family to ride off into the sunset.

John is too old to be President.

Well at least the ladies on the View were talking about issues. I'm an independent democrat. Mostly vote democrat though I have voted Republican. Many of the viral emails I've been getting lately from my Republican friends are these thinly veiled racist attacks on how Senator Obama is not really an "American" … what they are really saying is that he's not "white like us". I really don't want to believe what the polls are pointing out … that many Americans just won't vote for a black man. Can we as a freedom loving people live up to the dream and judge a person by their character and not the color of their skin? I hope so.

She doesn't know what being "picked clean" is. They haven't been picked clean because they've offered no chance for the real examination that they owe the American voter. They've stonewalled in hopes that they'll slip in under the wire before people really see what they are (of course the right wing, as usual, wants what they already see, which is W all over again). John McCain said nothing on The View except "They're not lies." Some defense! John McCain is afraid to go anywhere without Sarah Palin in tow, because, without his "foghorn" he might actually have to start answering questions. And she won't go anywhere without him because she might be asked some tough questions. John, you used to be a favorite of mine–but you've sunk so low. The GOP moderates better hope that McCain loses, because any hopes that the party will acquire some real integrity instead of just a haven for the fanatic right will go down the tubes with his election.

They handled Behar and Goldberg. Listen to audience reaction. John M. gets more and more appealing.

If McCain can't even handle questions from the ladies on "The View," how is he going to handle being commander in chief?

Cindy's husband was grilled because he is allowing his campaign to use lies, distortions, and personal attacks. His dishonorable behavior deserves rebuke from all who believe in intellectual honesty. As for Cindy herself, if this were thirty years in the past, she'd be perfect for Dynasty or Dallas.

THE MCCAIN ARE LIES ALL THE TIME. THESE RICH ARE SO LOOKING DOWN ON US

Geez, look at that picture. She really is the Devil.

That pictures says it all. I hope her head doesn't start spinning in circles.

I guess the truth hurts.

Come on now, Cindy…Come on now. Let's play fair. This was all right. If you're pulling ahead, you should not be concerned about such little brouhaha.

Cindy's new name:Victim Vicky!
Pailin's new name: Liar Lady!

Methinks there's still a lot of red meat on those bones; hopefully the debates will finish picking McCain;s bones of half truths and full lies.

boo hoo cindy!!!!!!!!!!!! You really have to be kidding. If you Repugs had told the truth, there would not have been any picking. TA DA

what happened to the Hillary ticker???? about her campaigning in ohio?

Good Lord…Is she serious?

If they can't handle the View…then they don't need to be in the White House!

Cindy,
Did you and John rip out the Commandment from your Bible that says, "Thou Shall NOT Lie!"

CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!?

YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE LIEING COMMERCIALS YOUR CAMPAIGN PUTS OUT….

I am a diehard republican but i can't vote this year. The palin' pack o' lies is just too much. She's not qualified . . . and never will be. Her interview was a sad sad exposure to the true emptiness in her head. John, you let us all down.

What's worse than a whiner?

A spoiled whiner.

Check out Factcheck.org Cindy, or do you think they're gangin' up on you too?

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Wow.

"in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing"

You should spend some time outside your private community.

Pick your bones? Since when is wanting to get the truth wrong? You all lie, lie and lie and then act offended when you are called on it. Go look for sympathy somewhere else you spoiled home wrecker. I will save my sympathy for those people who republicans like you and your husband have hurt. Disgusting.

LOL

The reason their bones were 'picked clean' is because most Americans are tired of the sleazy Repulican campaign and their blatant lies. Sheesh, if Karl Rove says it's sleazy then it must be pretty bad!

How many houses does a lot of Democrats own? Who cares how many houses they own, at least they gave 26% to charity, compare that to Obama or Biden. They only want to give away the taxpayers money.

Please Cindy…would you like some CHEESE with your WHINE? Blame EVERYONE ELSE is all that I hear from these people. Stop lying about everything…and for the record you're WRONG – Barbara and Co. asked exactly what the voter's are asking

Independent FOR Obama/Biden '08

Funny, Cindy NEVER did answer that question. McCain was not truthful and he was vindictive. To say that because Obama did not agree to his proposal for town hall meetings (something that Obama did counter with a mix of debates & town hall meetings) is childish. THAT's the reason for the tone of the race. Be real. If you let Palin take questions from the media, then you won't be asked about her. Except, of course, why you picked her in the first place.

I hope their is a sleeping giant, undetected by the polls and under the radar of the Palin hype………an army of voters becoming angry at all the nastiness, lies, and talking point one liners and vague details of the McCain campaign.

I hope that army of voters shows up on election day, packing the polling booths across this nation, all saying "YES WE CAN"…ENOUGH!!!

Obama/Biden!!!!!

cindy- needs to shut -up! they (the repubs) are all whiners!. also liars. the truth is about to come out on mcclain and palin and they cannot take the heat- simple as that.
it is beyond me why the american people fall for this trash!

The View spoke the truth

McSame LIED and LIED

The View spoke the Truth

McSame LIED and LIED

Cindy, did YOUR husband say she didn't take earmarks as Governor?

Liar, liar, pants on fire………..

I watched The View and noticed that they did not go after Mr. Obama and his wife like that. When you have people, like the host of The View, attacking you and distorting things to make a point it becomes clear what is going on. In fact Mrs. Walters said of Obama "You're very Sexy"… that says it all!

I am supporting Obama / Biden but I can say that McCain and Palin are getting a work over that Obama and Biden never got. It's unfair and un-called for. I'll never watch The View again because they let politics of personal destruction win the day and the objectivity is now out the window. I though The View and the viewers that watch it were above that, I guess not.

Oh wow. Are you freakin kidding me? Cindy–your complaining only makes you look like a spoiled rich girl, which of course you are. They asked honest questions–you know the kind of questions that journalists are supposed to ask. Every politician should be held accountable for what they say and what they do. What about Americans whose lives are being ripped out from under them because of the misguided Republican policies? And we are supposed to feel bad for you and your husband because someone was holding you both accountable? Huh? Puh leez.

I hope the media keeps it up (all of them) with the tough questions so all of America can see the truth.
We cannot let the Republicans lie their way to the White House again.
Cindy, I thought you said there wouldn't be any negative campaigning, so stop complaining.

I am getting tired of all the lies that John McCain is spreading around. Who cares if he has 1 point lead in the National Poll. Obama is leading on the Electoral College. Remember 2000. No More 4 years of MCBUSH.

Turns out Cindy McCain, its not the media's job to be nice to your husband…he's running to become president and that will more adversely affect my life than it will yours. The media realizes that and wants to call your husband on his shameless lies…good lord…its sickening how you, your husband, and your cronies have blamed everyone else but the republican party for this country's woes…

YOUR HUSBAND IS A SHADOW OF THE MAN HE ONCE WAS!

whine baby whine.
You and your husband are going down.

My she looks angry!

Unfortunately, she's also misguided. She says the American public is now "seeing a clear difference" between the candidates. Well, that's not quite right. McCain is so down in the mud now that he can hardly be seen at all.

What he stands for, what Palin stands for, is largely a mystery. All we really know is that he was a POW several decades ago; she likes to kill moose and wolves; and they are both so ambitious that they are willing to say anything, deceive anyone, to get elected.

And I guess in that respect, the difference is pretty clear.

Oh Please, Cindy! Even Karl Rove said that your husband is sleezy. He is running a sleezy, dishonorable campaign and in the end, YOU LOSE!!!

Go home Barbie, and nurse your wombs!

Where is the old John McCain? You know the one with honor, dignity and decency…. Senator McCain, your soul is too great a price to pay for the presidency.

If picked our bones clean means asked for basic honesty.

As one, I think we Christians should ask for more honesty out of McCain and Palin. I don't like being lied to repeatedly, or being asked to repeat their lies. It is shameful.

Cindy shut up you do not know a dam thing about what americans are talking about. you think $300000 dress is normal. im sick and tired of you repugs always suggesting you know what the rest of us need. I love it how you pout when on the defensive its so funny to watch coming from the hypocrites that you are. doesnt your medicine taste bad? maybe you should stop feeding it to the rest of us and then this can be a civil campaign. until then get over it.

John McCain "Me First-the heck with the Country"
Sarah Palin "Alaska First, Alaska Always"

Republicans are always so qucik to play the victim card.

America doesn't need leaders who whine and complain about how unfair everything is, we need strength! I mean, my God, if you can't hold up under intense questioning from the ladies on "The View", how exactly are you prepared to deal with the real pressures of the Presidency.

Please Cindy…would you like some CHEESE with your WINE? Blame EVERYONE ELSE is all that I hear from these people. Stop lying about everything…and for the record you're WRONG – Barbara and Co. asked exactly what the voter's are asking

Indepedent FOR Obama/Biden '08

Lot's more meat there Cindy. You are not looking well these days.

stop whining cindy.

republicans are doing a whole lot whinning recently. very unbecoming for the party who claims to be rough and tough, quit moaning.

Is that sexism? Being too hard on man if your a woman interviewer?

As a women and mother, I am very offended by any and all media picking apart Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin and their families! Without realizing it, the low down playground bullying is only helping Sarah Palin and John McCain to win. The 40 somethings I have spoken to lately feel they are getting a bad rap, something that wouldn't be done to Michelle Obama because of playing the race card. This reaction by the democartes has made a lot of independants I know mad, and they are saying they will vote for McCain/ Palin.

As far as "Troopergate"…. They guy should have had him job taken as well as any hunting license, and he should be investigated, fined and put in jail for child abuse for tazing his 10 year old step son. It sounds like he was abusive, and used his police auhority to abuse his x wife as well. This is something else that will only help win the "You go girl" female vote. It sounds like Mr. Trooper was a menace to society, and lets not forget drinking on the job. If she used her authority to fire him, she was doing the people of Alaska a favor.

Well, well, well!!! After all, Cindy cannot continue to be like Aaron's beard — be seen and not heard. She has to let the public/voters know that she is just as much a fighter as her husband and the husband's running mate, who is a joke that you can't laugh at.

We ain't see all de people in de world.

Cindy- You and your cheat of a husband can't even admit that you have an adopted daughter until the DEMS started talking about how proud they are of their wives and children. You an Palin are just using your children to get sympathy votes just like you are using the "VIEW" to get sympathy votes. This is just unbelievable!!! HOW LOW AND DIRTY! HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT!

Certainly, don't believe what you are actually seeing. Believe what I'm telling you instead.

Obama is going to win by a landslide, lady. Deal with it.

Talk about whiners! They demand to be treated as "anointed ones" who are above reproach, while they demean the American voter by demanding blind acceptance of obvious lies.

It is about time someone asked for an accounting. The View ladies have a lot more guts and courage than the mainstream media (who have been cowed by the Bush administration). This is a good example of how the media should act.

Cindy – Stop acting like you're the victim and tell your husband and his campaign to stop lying and start talking about the issues.

The media is supposed to ask the tough the questions. Its their job. The media shouldn't be biased though.

Poor miss Cindy. Your hubby has sold his soul to the devil. So much for Honor. Apparently, he's forgotten ten the Cadet Honor Code at Annapolis. When he picked Palin he was'nt thinking Country First, he was thinking Me First.

Mc Same & Sarah Phoney running this country God help us all

What Whoopi is tougher than Putin? Wow! That's news!

McCain's complaining over the media, after they had hands off of Palin for two weeks to coach her. The first outing she gets humiliated because she doesn't know anything! This bimbo is way out of her league.

Cindy, the momentum brought on by Palin has lost you can not bring it back. McCain – P is going down in a hand basket, no more repubs this time around, the naked-lies and deception fo the repubs will not work this time.

Even Karl Rove is jumping ship, so, please do us a favor and go to the 7 houses you own and us more beer to party in November.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

OH PLEASE…talk to the hand Ms boohoo McCain. Whats the matter that truth hurting. Even your lying butt hubby was not comfortable because they were calling him on his lies. What you think that everyone is going to lay down for you and him..boohoo

Th e view host were asking right questions. they are not like CNN. CNN even could not put the vedio on a tough question. why are you guys afraid of puttting that part of the video? American people have every right to see the real face of the candidates.

Yes, now I know loud and clear who I will vote for: OBAMA!!!

Ah Cindy, that scowl does not become John McCain's trophy wife. Maybe you should stay at home in one of your many houses so you won't have to take the heat from lowly voters like me. Let John's new trophy VP pick barbie Palin take the heat.

I call the WAAAAAAAAAAAHAMBULANCE!

Do you think that other world leaders won't try and pick your husband apart?

Grow a backbone! It's politicxs.

Oh stop crying!!!!

Cindy Cindy Cindy you married a baffoon,and an out right lair.We dont want another 4 years of the same old politics you are handing out.Go back to the depths of H@## where you came from

I am proud that the ladies on the View picked his bones clean. He and Palin have and are lying and they should be called on it. I noticed that he was squirming when those questions was asked as well he should have been because he knows he is lying.

If McCain and Palin are willing to lie so heavily during this campaign one can only imagine the lies they will tell to the American people once they are in office.

The way they have run this campaign is the way they will run this country, and, that is straight into the ground.

Obama is drawing the biggest crowds, drawing in the most money, making the most sense, trying to talk issues and McCain is ahead in the polls?I do not believe it. There is something very wrong here.
When Obama went overseas, he looked and acted presidential, and was received with respect, and the foreign people stated they were hoping for an Obama win. No bump in the polls. Obama bringing in the huge crowds and setting records for the money sent in, no bump. The fantastic convention should have boosted his ratings way up. Nothing. Choosing the popular Joe Biden and no bump. Are all these new people that are registering as Democrats going to vote Republican? Not likely!
The American people are going to miss the opportunity of curing this country of the Bush and the Republican led congress disasters. Obama is a highly intelligent man and has as his running mate a man who could step into the presidency if that became necessary.
I have been thinking for quite awhile that something is very wrong here. I believe they are again about to steal the election. Why are we always so helpless in stopping them?

I love you Barbara Walters Keep the truth flowing. Go take a Pain Pill McCain. Old time barbie.

Picked them clean she says? That's what happens when truth prevails.

Cindy, stop cryin sexism! YOU know this is the only way you GOPS can win this yr.

McCain has sold himself and the nation to the Rape-publican Lying Machine.

Guess what., Cindy? The scrutiny's going to get a lot tougher!

And rightfully so.

If McCain can't count his houses, he can't balance a national budget!!!

Say it with me, "If he can't count his houses, he can't balance a budget!"

You couldn't find a more pleasant picture of Cindy McCain? Shame, shame, shame on CNN for their continued suttle, yet slanted position on the election.

The Republican Convention Honeymoon is over.

Now they're out in the real world and getting nailed to the wall. Oh, while you're there McCain better start reading the writing on the wall. Sez… It's Over! Lying Never Pays!

Obama/Biden '08

I have watched both Presidential candidates on the View, and it was really shocking to me. Being a woman I thought they made women look like a bunch of airheads with the way the cooed and awwed at Obama, They were so improfessional and flirtatious with him. The were busy asking him about issues. Yet when I saw the McCain interview they were grilling him.
I have no problem with asking tough questions. I welcome them, however it was obvious both candidates were not treated equally.

McCain is hideing behind two skirts now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And thank God someone finally called McCain on the carpet. Why do they think they can get away with lies and just plain silliness without being questioned? Where do you they think they live? By the way, in our house you'll find an Independent and a Republican voting for Obama/Biden.

Face it, Cindy. A bunch of ladies on a women's television show completely owned you and your husband. Polls show it as an even race – and that will only be until the debates.

The "blame the media" game doesn't work when all the criticisms are accurate.

McCain talked….but didn't really answer questions…as usual….

Mrs McCain, that is what the media is suppose to do…ask the tough questions for the public…yes us the US citizens.
As far as I am concerned "The View" did their job in asking the tough questions.
I am sure that you will not meet with every single voter to give us a chance to ask those important questions.
Then again, you are protecting Mrs. Palin from answering any questions of the voters.
So does this mean is avialble to us the voter? NO. Just like she was available to her staff and law makers of Alaska. She would schedule meetings but not attend because she decided to stay home.

Get use to the hard questions….that is what public life is all about!!!

Go Democrats!!!!!

Mrs. McCain, politics is a blood sport. The Republicans have played the "dirty" card for years. It hurts when it comes back at you, doesn't it?

I'm shocked! The Republican campaign has turned into a three ringed circus. Tabloid news.

If you want to talk VP"S, let's look at Biden and his inability to handle money in his personal life. He has spent 36 years making a more than adequate and above average salary ( w/expense acct) has a working wife, wrote a book and at 65 he is proud to say he has a net worth around $200,000. He lives on a 4 acre estate in exclusive Greenville, DE yet brags that he doesn't have a savings account. Isn't the idea in America that people should take care of themselves and prepare for the future? In the last year, they had a take-home income of over $20,000 a month! Many people have that for a year. What in the world do they do with their money and do you really want someone so inept making decisions about the U.S. economy.

Yes, how dare anyone want the truth or question Senator McCain's choice of a running mate, not to mention his ridiculous ads. I think the women on The View showed remarkable restraint.

Actually, Marie, I recently heard that it is 9 houses from Paul Begala on Bill Maher, but 7 was bad enough

Who's angry? Reading some of these comments, I think dems and reps. alike are. But don't kid yourself…Obama has great ideas and says what everyone wants to hear, but he won't be able to deliver as much as promised. He's get bogged down in the politics as usual in DC. Just wait and see!!!

How dare the media ask McCain/Palin any hard hitting questions? And in an election year! How dare they! He was a POW! There should not be any questioning of anything he says!

What would one expect from the View, they are for Obama?

Wow. This woman's plastic facade is starting to melt. Stand aside, sweetie – these are just the warm-ups.

More proof the repugs can dish it out but can't take it.

PS – John thinks Sarah's hot…………

I agree … most people don't follow the opinion of The View .. and I peronsally won't be watching Ms. Walters and her cohorts anymore. I'm actually sick of all the negativeness that is coming from both campaigns .. come on McCain, Palin, you can win on your merits, on your character, on your experience and on your vision and promise of reform ! I wish the election was today ~!!

The Republicans are the most whiny hypocrites on the face of the earth. They don't even care that their candidate is lying or constantly whinging about how the press dares to actually question his idiocy and lack of policies. It's not the Democrat's fault that their ticket is superior in policies and honor. If the media weren't giving McCain and Palin (who's a real pathological liar) a free ride, like they are, they would actually demonstrate the true journalistic credentials shown on the View. It's their job to tell the American people who is lying and complaining and backstabbing. Cindy McCain is a lying and deceitful disgrace to women, as is Sarah Palin, who with her policies and belligerence might as well be a transgendered Bush. And as for family values, let's take a look at which ticket is more compelling. A man who cheated on his wife for nine months with a beauty queen before finally bothering to get a divorce, and who didn't even notice when this new wife was stealing pills from charity organizations? Or a man who has been taking care of his family and told the media to back off Palin's, even as the Republicans savagely attacked his wife? A man who was sworn in at his son's bedside after practically his whole family died in a car crash, and who hasn't used his son's deployment to Iraq as a cheap political ploy? Or a woman who whined about the media covering her daughter's teenage pregnancy, even though it highlighted her blatant political hypocrisy, yet forced the seventeen-year-old father into the spotlight to make herself look better, and who also disgustingly uses her son going to Iraq as a political tool? The hypocrisy and evil of the Republican party is something that has NOT been fairly covered. You're right, Cindy. You're not getting fair treatment: you've been given a blatant and unfair preference, raised up on a pedestal along with the rest of you liars, haters, and twisted hypocrites. The Republicans are the party responsible for the deaths of 9-11, the four thousand that lie dead in Iraq, and it is as shameful as it is treacherous for them to brag as though it is a badge of honor that 9-11 occurred under their watch. I, for one, shall never forget or forgive Bush Giuliani and all his sad followers. John McCain is just another Bush, but is even more dishonorable and ridiculously idiotic. If he wins this election, I divorce myself from America once and for all.

I guess it is a shock to the system when a repub actually gets REAL questions from the media. 8 years of castrating the media and I think the media is sick of it.

I don't watch the View normally, but I loved it. The lies are too big and the cost is too great.

Yes, how dare anyone want the truth or question Senator McCain's choice of a running mate. I just think it is so sad that a man of his stature and reputation has put his own interests ahead of his country. I think the women on The View showed remarkable restraint.

How ironic. This is a woman who stood by silently while George W. Bush's campaign falsely accused her husband of having an affair that produced their daughter instead of the truth that she was adopted from Bangladesh.

Now she is upset because people are calling her husband on his lies. Spare me your indignation Mr.s McCain. Go back to one of your many houses and stay out of it.

You've got to be kidding me… "picked their bones clean"????

Her husband is running to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. He can't handle the hosts of The View? What an absurd statement, Mrs. McCain.

The hosts of The View are asking the questions that the American people want answered. I saw "THANK YOU" and "I hope the rest of the mainstream media follow their lead."

If you run a campaign based on distortions and lies, you are going to get some questions about it.

The McCain's made their bed (well, maybe someone on their payroll made it … now they have to sleep in it.

AFTER DISGUSTING, LYING TV ADS ACCUSING BARACK OF TRYING TO TEACH KINDERGARTNERS ABOUT SEX WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO TEACH THEM ABOUT RECOGNIZING & AVOIDING SEXUAL PREDATORS….

THROW HIM & HIS FAKE WIFE TO THE WOLVES.

Poor, rich Cindy. If ONLY the mainstream media was as tough on all politicians as Joy Behar et al were. Then, we wouldn't have stunt candidates like Palin running around. They'd know better.

Unfortuantely, when you have a populace that refuses to educate themselves and a media that looks for the scandal du jour, we're all screwed.

Sad times we live in.

why is every one so bitter that the McCains have 7 houses? Cindy McCains family worked hard to get where they are. Is that not the American dream, to better ourselfs as we go? it sounds to me like people are bitter at there lot in life and need to find dumb stuff to pick at.

Yes I did see and hear parts of the interview – seems to me that if you and Mr McCain would simply remember that truth and honesty will go along way to getting people to believe you, then you won't need to complain when others take you to task on the things you say.

I don't think most normal people get their political information from the hags on the view.

If the McCain campaign would stop telling those lies and smears, there would be no need for the MSM to finally get off their lazy butts and start questioning him as the American public deserves.

And the defence McCain has for his mud and lies and smears? "Whine… If Obama had agreed to do Town Hall meetings with me, it wouldn't have happened!" Are you serious? Just how delusional are you? You unfairly attack someone and then blame the victim (with, it has to be added, a claim that is totally unrelated to the issue at hand).

I wish I had seen the interview. I only wish it had been Palin instead. It's about time she start answering some "tough" questions (read: reasonable questions).

Mrs. McCain, let me get this, your husband can attack and tell untruths about Sen. Obama in advertisements however, he can't be questioned about them? Your camp has created what is happening to you now — if you don't like it — then tell your people to stick to the issues! The country is a mess and you're spending money on lipstick ads. You just don't get it… please, spare us your cries of injustice! No sympathy here!!!

Barbara Walters and her co-hosts did what the rest of the Media should have done long time ago- Expose your lies and pretences. Running a dirty campaign full of lies. Accusing your opponent falsely. YOU WERE NAILED-THATS IT.

Zeesh… Hey McCains and Palins… If you can't handle the ladies on the view… what hope is there that you can handle the leaders of foreign countries or other heavy-duty critics? None!!!! Grow up… You have to be able to handle them before you can handle the leader of Iran… or do you just plan on sending more US troops to die to cover your fear of actually having a tough conversation with that guys like the leader of Iran?

If only they stuck it to BOTH candidates, instead of doing what they always do…..

I mean, Obama's neck would get sore without his pillow.

Please show me where The View questioned Obama and his wife like that. This is why regular people are saying that the media is in the tank for them. Their are a lot of questions that must be answered about Mr. Obama before regular people will be ready to vote for him. So lets all be real about this situation and maybe your candidate may have a chance to win.

The media are vultures. It's become obvious.
The Obama supporters are vultures. They come on message boards and spew political vomit all over the rest of us.

The voters don't like the media or the Democrats.
That's why McMaverick is pulling away.

Good for the View ladies…..it is very hard when you are pressed to tell the truth isn't it? Oh they picked our bones clean – I see Barbie still has her skin. Oh poor me, can't they see we are sick of those games?

The first piece of real journalism in a long time (and from a day time talk show no less) makes the McCains cry. Of course it does. It was real, hard hitting, and about time.

Shut up, put up, or get the hell out of my country.

It is time for Mrs. Obama to get in it, since the media doesn't protest Cidy's sudden interest in this race,they should have no issue with Michell standing up for her husband.Would they now! Hillary was right (SNL)get some balls. That is, the media get same balls!

If Palin loses the election, she goes back to being the Governor of the State of Alaska. If McCain loses the election, he goes back to being the great Senator from Arizona who never held back a thought or a punch.

If Obama loses the election, he goes back to voting PRESENT on any controversial bill that crosses his desk. I don't know HOW the rest of the nation can feel they know Obama WHEN ILLINOIS DOESN'T EVEN KNOW OBAMA.

People PLEASE… close your ears, open your eyes and read his voting record. And prepare yourself for a surprise because this man has sat on the fence the entire time. Sad…

should they not pick your bones clean?

Should they take it easy on you and ignore the rampant lying of your husbands campaign?

Cindy McCain wanted a softball interview. What she and John Mccain got was an honest debate. Palin and McCain have been using sound bites and attacks to stop talking about the issues. Palin is religious righty whose record on women's issues is appalling. Charging rape victims for their own rape kits is cruel and unfair!

John McCain got absolutely roasted on The View…it was great.

Sorry Cindy, but do you really expect us to show you any sympathy?
Cindy=2008 version of Marie Antoinette.
"Let them eat cake"!

LOLOL, sound's like the McSame ticket is begining to sweat, i mean come on, Palin did'nt know Bush'es doctrine, yet the Repub's say this is there secret weapon? LOLOL again,,,now that McSame has unleashed his Pit Bull, watch the number's begin to go down for the Repub's, I agree with Marie in ILL. spare us the crocodile tear's Cindy, your husband made a rediculous choice for his VP, and it will all come out in the wash way BEFORE November, true sign's the Repub's will do or say anything to win the Whitehouse, cant blame the last 8 year's on the Dem's, 8 + 4 = 12, LOL, this is NEVER going to happen, might as well get used to hearing President Obama now. Obama // Biden 08

Ok, so did they think going on " The View " would be easy?? Just because Elisebeth bash Michelle Obama at the RNC convention doesn't mean the rest off The View women aren't going to question your stance on the issues… AHHH
I think its aweful that the view had to ask the tough questions that the media wasn't. Mccains just lie lie lie to the american people… ITs pathetic….
Obama/ Biden 08
With Hillary in the cabinet!!!!!

So are you saying we aren't allowed to question presidential candidates?

I thought the Democrats were the whiners! McCain loves hiding behind the skirts of beauty queens, doesn't he? His spokesman says that they don't care about running a lying and sleazy campaign. Do they not think that people would call them out on it?

There is a penalty to pay for lying, McCain.

If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

Most of the corrections on false statements never reach the same people that hear and see the lies, and if they are told over and over people sart to believe them the lies as truth.

I commend the ladies of the view in having the "guts" to ask the hard questions, confront the lies and ask for the truth.

Awwww – Poor John – the media was ignoring him so he is throwing tantrums and anything else he can to keep his name in the news.

John S. McCain is ONE SICK PERSON. Mentally.

Don't cry Cindy: Your plastic Surgery face might fall off!

Ice princess is mad???? Aw no maybe she should go to Bahamas hat should get her mind off of it

We all know that McCain is not a good a talker but a real good doer. So there is nothing new to prove that he can not talk.

This is straight to David Peter. Same on you. As a Vietnamese, I know quite well that both Mr. and Mrs McCain have done lots of good things to poor and handicaped Vietnamese childen as well as children around the world. They do not need small moneys and cheating as you feel from the bottom of your own heart.

Give me a break Cindy. Does Johnny need his wifie to protect him? And Sarah Palin to get him some crowds? I never seen so many whinners…

Wow,
I don't know why I keep sitting inshock out what is said from McCain's camp. The media is only doing their job and it amazes me how people who live off the governement, like McCain, criticize it so harshly. I am so glad that there are those who are pushing back and challenging the lies that the Republicans are spewing. As the days progress, I pray that the American people will see the truth and know that Obama/Biden are who we need in the White House.

If you go in to a hornet's nest, you'll get stung. I give them credit for going on the show, It showed less about what Mccain is about, but alot more about those, out of touch babes are about.

Thank God someone has the nerve to call McCain on all his lies. That's all you get on any program anymore…talking heads spinning the same old stuff. They should wire them all to lie detectors before they start talking.

Sadly, this may work. All McLame and his pair of Barbies can do is blame the refs. They've got no solutions, no answers, just smears. And a media that's starting to wake up. Hopefully there's still time.

So, Cindy? How's about your husband's using his Senate staff to cover up your pill-popping kleptomania? When will CNN cover that?

This comment will await moderation.

I wish I saw the episode of the view. I did see the drooling over Obama that the shrill little woman Barbara Walters made with the disgust on Whoopi's face as she did it. Yes, I believe Whoopi is for Obama but anyoone with 2 eyes (or 4) can see that even she felt that was gross.

But the way they grilled McCain in his chance on the show was in stark contrast to when Obama was there. Kiss Kiss coo coo for Obama. Nails out and attacks ready to defend a man who is showing he thinks his innocent little remarks "honey, sweetie, lipstick on a pig" can be construed as innocent.

I applaud the View for asking tough questions, and frankly the press should have been doing this all along. Why does McCain think he should be given great deference and a free ride without discussing issues, honest answers. We don't want 8 more years of mistakes and dishonesty from the top office in the land. I'm not so sure about the pulling ahead thing — just who is answering all these polls.

Whoa Cindy, this is not your fight. The women on the View were perfectly within their rights to comment and question your husband on his record and his campaign. That now includes Sarah Palin.

Talk about projecting!

I guess according to Republicans we need to let them get away with a outrageously negative and deceptive campaign because facts have a liberal bias.

I don't know if any of you saw The View yesterday, they picked our bones clean — in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing," said McCain

So…. To paraphrase… Let me see if I got this straight:

"It's not what you see or saw… It's not what you hear or heard. It's what you didn't see or hear… um, from the american people, because they only talk to us… but, just for today. You see we reserve the right to re-categorize or just completely change our [policies/ positions/ quotes/ etc...] as needed. You see my friends, contrary to popular belief, and I know this may be tricky… an orange is not always an orange, sometimes it's apple, sometimes a pear."

"This is all very complicated stuff, I understand, but just do your best to keep up and we'll (The McCain camp) make sure to keep you as ignoran.. uh, informed as possible.

"So you see, the incredibly negative and completely false attacks on Obama are due to the nastiness of this business and Michelle's unresolved anger. And because Barack chose to not do town halls meeting with us and teaches sex ed to special ed terrorist groups in Hawaii that want to destroy Americans."

Yea, this clears up a lot John.
Thanks

If they can't handle The View what will happen in the debates? The McCain team is the one putting out the trash ads. I thought he promised a clean campaign focused on the issues. I guess if you can't win that way you have to take cheap shots and spread lies. Poor Cindy her money can't control the press.

Truth is America is tired of the Rove/Schmidtz/Davis campaign of lies, smears and division. Stick to the issues and your bones might not get picked.

McCain has allowed his people to launch a Dirty Campaign. But then again, it is probably not really McCain's Campaign anymore, it is Sarah Barracuda Palin's campaign. And we all know that she is just power hungry.

Cindy and John word of advise… watch your backs… Sarah is not in this for you or America. She is in it for herself and Rove/Schmidtz/Davis/Chenney/Bush have found the real 3rd Presidency of G.W. Bush.

Dig that Bush Doctrine!

Oboma will mre than pick your bones clean. He needs to stay on issues, and debate on the view, to make mccaine look totally washed up. He is a joke…Palin wants to bomb and not talk to countries, not what americans want. Get a life.With 7 or 9 houses, you guys have no clue what the average maerican goes through, and never will!

You have to give McCain credit. I don't know many men who have not one but two women he can send in to fight his battles when the going gets a little rough. In my day we called it hiding behind a woman's skirt but I guess that's no longer politically correct.

Cindy, get back on your meds. You are living in some kind of box. You see what you wanna see. The world doesn't see everything that you are seeing. We are not all please with you and yours!!!!!!!!!

John McCain blatantly lies to the American people about Sen. Obama on the campaign trail. Sarah Palin blatantly lies to the American people over and over again about a variety of things in her past, but who cares, we shouldn't expect too much from the little lady of low expectations. Somehow this is all the media's fault? Does Cindy McCain see the same man she married? I sure don't see the same man I was so impressed with 8 years ago. I see someone who has lost all integrity and honor. How does he think he is going to be able to reach across the aisle when all he does is lie about the people from the other party.

The McCain/Palin ticket scares me no end…this ticket is such a joke, I believe he picked her to have a diversion to the REAL issues, he and the Republican Party should be embarrased! I don't trust her, I don't trust him and I don't trust the GOP.

The more they are pressed, the more people will see how transparent they (McCain/Palin) really are.

You lefties really now, OBAMA NEVER says any lies. He does not even know how many states there are! He thinks there are hmmm…57! He is an empty suit with NO experience, oh wait, he has 300 foreign policy advisers!
McCain 08
The view is full of left wing idiots who don't matter anyway.

Oh, puh leaaaaaaaase! I am so tired of the whining. Are American people really this stupid to even consider voting for McSame and Parrot Palin? If so, we're in deep doo doo.

I agree with everything in this post … so tell me why is McCain still doing so well in the polls? Why is Palin so well liked? Why is it that so many people are so sucked in by their lies? Why don't they see they're setting their selves up for more of the same? I'm totally baffled and frustrated by their ignorance.

Country first? With all the lies to promote self how can our country be first? We are concern about issues and the republicans are trying to distract us from the issues just so they can win? Their lies are proof that they will lie in the white house and have the nerve to call themselves conservative? I strongly believe America are smarter than they were in 2000/2004. Obama-Biden it is!

Hey Cindy you know what else we're seeing? You're showing a little more cleavage lately! Feeling a little insecure with Puppet Palin around your man all the time? Surely McShame wouldn't leave you like he left his first wife. Oops! Did I say that? What I meant to say was, the American people are finally seeing through all the lies. It's just a matter of time before this campaign self destructs. Tick-tock-tick-tock…….KABOOM!

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!? What a bunch of whiney friggen babies! Why don't you start running a reputable campaign and maybe people would treat you with a little bit of respect.
You lie constantly, you constantly belittle your opponent and his family, you belittle your opponent's running mate's family, and you run smearful lies. What do you expect? Cotton candy, pies, and cookies?

Um, gee Cindy, if two comedians and the not-particularly-tough Barbara Walters are too much for the McCains, maybe you guys aren't ready to run the country?

Can you say puke…

I can't wait till Sarah goes on the view and they ask her about how she wants abstinance only taught in the schools and they confront her with the fact that she–Sarah Palin–not just her daughter–was pregnant when she got married. The extreme religious right have to be really sweating it out that the media might actually ask her about that. How dare the liberal left not honor their privacy, even as the right judge every family that has actually experienced "life happens" events. All of their arguements about the immoral liberal left and the poor parenting of all those girls that got pregnant goes out the window. (Of course, as long as Roe v. Wade remains in effect, they are able to sneak off and get those abortions for themselves or their daughers so they don't have to have to deal with the shame of such public knowledge that their own families have the same things happening in them as the immoral liberal left have to deal with) Oh the hypocracy of the American people demanding the truth about the candidates!!!

I watched that show and I didn't think they pushed hard enough on the sex education for kindergartens. I did think they did a better job than the mainstream media. Even Barb W. was tough, and she is main stream media!

I would have come prepared and known exactly what the bill said and slammed him big time.

Those ads are absolutely despicable!

No Cindy, the ladies of The View did not pick your bones. They merely asked you how many houses you own. I ask people that all of the time, is this somehow some hugely intolerable and disrespectful question in your eyes? Why? The ladies of the View did pick your husband's bones apart, and we should all be proud that they did so. The media, in case nobody has mentioned it, is us Cindy, "the people." They ask the questions we want to know. And picking your husband's bones on substantial issues, like his dishonest ads, his positions on abortion and the supreme court, the qualifications of his running mate, these are all legitimate questions Cindy. And yes, the might be tough to answer, but that is the whole point….

Did anyone see how poor Cindy snapped when asked how many homes they owned? The McCains pretend to be just ordinary folks, but ordinary folks do not have a 100 million dollar liquor fortune and seven homes.

Like the old saying goes, if you can't stand the heat…..stay out of the elections.

Though I usually enjoy interviews on The View, I was disappointed with some of the irrelevant questions.

Contrary to popular belief, the number of houses the McCain's own is a personal matter and has absolutely nothing to do with the future of our country…

Let's keep this election in perspective: on the issues and the well-being of this country. We need to be discussing what each candidate will bring to the table, and not the silly, personal details. This election is much too important to take small things out of proportion.

Nice pearls Sindy….

why don't they question obama about why he went to Tony Rezko for help, was he his only friend. why don't they ask obama why he doesn't believe in buying his children christmas and birthday gifts. this charade with obama as gone on long enough. why are we asked to elect a person who the media are afraid to vett?

Cindy Lou looks quite angry to me. STOP THE LIES!

She is one hundred percent correct. I saw the episode and it was pathetic seeing those hosts tear into McCain. It's obvious that they fawn over obama and would never even near the level vicsiousness with him. Obama used dirtier tricks than McCain has including infusing race into the primaries when he ran against Hllary. Behar in particular is so disgustingly biased. I am a democrat but I put country before party.

oh here is you go..cry baby….
that's all mcCain can do…

When did it become illegal to ask the Republicans ANYTHING!?!?!?

Disrespectful? How about lying to the American people at every crossroads?

Obama/Biden '08

grow up, stop whining, take the silver spoon out and come down to earth.

If McCain had only answered their questions instead of beating around the bush and trying to change the subject, then the women on "The View" would not have seemed so harsh. They just wanted real answers to their questions, not the same old bs answers that McCain is getting so good at giving. Also, if McCain gets rattled by a couple of women on "The View", then I definately have no confidence in him handling problematic dictators or rogue leaders in this world!

Someone had o do it for our country. Salute the women of The View.

So the candidate who decries "celebrity" goes on the "celebrity shows" and gets confronted with the truth and then cries foul? Ok McSame has sold his soul and has no honor in moving into the White House. Congrats Johnny Boy – selling out your fellow soldiers by not supporting the GI Bill and leaving vets struggling. And the View is tough?

Go pop some pills Cindy. And yes the number of houses you own does matter in this election when we're facing a housing crisis and a candidate who claims to understand what average Americans are going through can't recall how many he owns.

McCain expects to be treated like a king because he was a POW. I don't understand what is meant by the term "War Hero." John Mccain is the most dishonorable man alive. After returning from prision, he left his wife for a younger woman. He thought it was cute how he lied to her in order to get what he wanted. That is just want he is doing to the American people. He is making up lies about his and Palin's records to seduce the American people into electing him as president.

Thank God there are people willing to ask those tough questions! It is a shame there are so many people out there willing to believe John McCain & Company's lies. We need more media like the View ladies who want to the know the real facts!!!

I guess cindy thought her and her husband weregoing to get a free ride on the view. Big mistake, this is not the old mike dougles show. Maybe there you can do a song and dance, but times have changed, you better come ready .

It's an election, Cindy. Not a cake walk. If you're going to lie and you cannot handle the women of the VIEW questioning you and your husband and whether or not you're honest..then you might as well drop out of the race now and hand it to Obama. At least he answers questions and criticisms and doesn't stomp his foot at journalists, who are just doing their job, like the McCain camp. Their job is to educate the public and inform them when a candidate is lying. This goes for both sides of the political spectrum. The media will call you out when you lie, and they have. Just answer the questions and be honest. Oh, wait. Are Republicans capable of telling the truth?

Stop whining Cindy. Can't you feel the walls crumbling around you and your lying husband. Victory is in the Obama camp. If God is for you, he is more than the whole world against you. Obama will win in November.

No way, No how, No McCain/Palin.

Oh Boo-Hoo! The big mean girls are picking on my poor defenseless honey! For crying out loud, put your big-girl panties on and quit whining!

Despite what you would have us believe, Mrs. McCain, tough questions on the issues and accountability for all-out lies is very much what American voters are interested in hearing. Not the same scripted lies repeated yet again, which is exactly what your husband tried to spoon feed us.

Awwww, those poor Republicans have had it so rough, while little Johnny McCain has been such a BOY SCOUT in this race!

Come on Cindy, don't wallow in the mud with the rest of your team. Those $30,000 outfits just can't take it.

Check the polls DEMS!

Yall are looooooosssssssiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

McCain / Palin

Everyone must admit that The View is bias to Obama except for that one alibi they have, who they love to push to tears. The View got Cindy, Obama, Michelle and now McCain as host. Cindy they were distantly polite too, since Obama was winning in the polls, Obama they fondled, Michelle they went gaga over and McCain they took turns attacking from all sides. Under the circumstances I say he did okey in a room full of enemies.

This means so much from someone wearing $300,000 worth of jewlery.

Perhaps the Republican party got too used to the press capitulating to the Bush administration for the past eight years. Hopefully, they are all ashamed enough at how they've been castrated that they will continue to actually do their jobs and press for real information.

Cindy:
You think the press is hard on your hubby just wait until God gets a hold of him and his running mate for immorality and lies.

Yes Cindy…that is exactly what intelligent Americans are thinking. Maybe the stupid ones who don't think are listening to you.

IF this election was about the ISSUES- Hillary would NOW be the strong nominee of our party.

You want it both ways- YOU brutally demean and discredit and trash the most qualified woman- then you demand and install the least qualified rock star who has a nice smile and gives a great speech.

And then YOU pretend that you voted on issues rather than on image and remind others to focus on the issues. I voted for HRC- I WAS voting on the ISSUES.

Obamabots voted for the self-serving, self-impressed, bragging, self-proclaimed charismatic totalitarian who would be messiah.

You all were hateful to the woman who had the BEST position on
EVERY issue. You claimed SHE was a liar. You denigrated her and YOU forced Obama on the party. You lost a lot of supporters with that vitriolic tactic.

Now you are doing likewise with Sarah Palin. Be careful. It will backfire again.

The real problem here is that it is being left up to shows like the View and the Daily show to discuss the clear hypocracy of the McCain-Palin team. If all journalism is today is covering 'both sides of the story', then we might as well not have it. It should be about finding the truth in the story. If you choose as a candidate to ignore reality (and your own comments and record in the past) then you should be challanged by the press.

Shame on you Cindy McCain! As a lifelong Republican voter I wonder if this is all the Republicans are going to offer a hurting country…lies and divisive politics. Crying wolf whenever someone points out the hypocrisy is insulting to the American people. Is this how John McCain would run the country and how Cindy McCain would represent us as the first lady. It's "SELF FIRST" not country first. The lows Cindy McCain and John McCain will stoop to be elected is pathetic. I was going to vote for John McCain, but if this is all the Republican's can offer, I'll never vote Republican again. The McCain's and the Republican's divisive politics have sent my vote into the Blue column. This country needs a leader for everyone. As sick as it makes me feel, I know Barack Obama is the best choice and I'll be voting for a Democrat for the first time ever on November 4th.

The View is not a news show. If you can't stand not controlling the tone of the venue, don't agree to do The View.

It was clear to me that John McCain was controlling his bad temper.

Why do people keep talking about McCain's affair?
It happened to an unhappy man in a failing marriage while they were separated (and after a grueling five-year ordeal in Vietnam).

There is no evidence that he ever cheated on his current wife.

At least McCain was readily willing to go on the View (for the second time!) and speak in front of the NAACP and other groups who are not as likely to support his candidacy. It took Obama MONTHS to get up the courage to commit to Fox News Correspondent Bill O'Reilly.

Presidental Material?

"How Sorry" I feel for the McCain straight talk express.. Some one was actually doing their job. Thats what reporters do.. Cindy. They make the public to wake up and smell the coffee.
Good job "The View"
Keep at it..
CNN has to do more of the truth and fact telling.

Ms Mccain should look at other news before she complains ,In Alaska the did not tell the truth about how many anti Palin people showed up not only when she came home but then she left.They are saying when she came hoem their were upwards of 1500 demonastrators against palin and this was not even bought up,When she left they said about 100 demonstrators when their were over a thousand if you look their are viedos of them and you can see for your self.Now it comes out the McCain camp even lied about other accounts at other ralleys. How can anyone actuall believe The GOP at this point and that includes McCain/Palin the non mavericks of today

Wow Cindy had meat left on her size zero figure! Woew, give me a break! Whaaaa!
Don't go back on the View!

They should have picked the McCains apart. People are loosing their homes and the McCains don't even know how many homes they own.
That is so ridiculous. And for people to say that they are going to vote the Repub ticket is unbelievable. If this country votes those buffoons in WE will get exactly what we deserve.

Gosh, rich and dumb at the same time….= dangerous.

Wealthy people like Cindy are use to having people laugh at their jokes when they are not funny and bend over backwards to accomodate them. In the workplace, she's use to people doing what she says without having to justify it.

This is not the world the rest of us live in. It a world where people, who are accountable for results, get to play.

Mrs. McCain … as an heiress that inherited the $100M beer business from her father … serves as "chairwoman" but she didn't earn her way to this position. As the "owner" of a privately held company, she isn't accountable to any shareholders … she get's to be as incompetent as she likes without concern of loosing her "job".

Similarly, John McCain, as a United States Senator, REALLY isn't responsible for delivering ANY results. How many times have you heard him say, I reached across the aisle, I proposed this bill or that bill?

What he really is saying is that he "MADE THE EFFORT" or that he "TRIED TO CREATE a law" … not that he ACHIEVED anything.

Furthermore, as a Senator, the things he " WORKED ON" were not a list of discrete objectives from his boss, the people. He get's to wake up and make a decision on what he wants to try to advance.

What the McCain's endured on the View was a situation where they had to substantiate their claims and effectiveness and they didn't like it.

Tough …. stop whining…. and get something DONE other than by people kissing your butt due to your hiearchrical position. You are not running to be King & Queen.

He did get schooled by Whoopie didnt he.

I guess cindy thought her and her husband weregoing to get a free ride on the viw. Big mistake, this is not the old mike dougles show. Maybe ther you can do a song and dance, but times have changed, you better come ready .

Hey Cindy….

Do you know what the Bush doctrine is?

If you vote for McClain/Palin then you deserve what you get and I hope it is horrible so I can get a good laugh.

Ah, what are you "sheeple" going to do when McCain gets the Presidential nod come November? I can't wait.

Actually Cindy, it IS what the American people are thinking.

CNN………….CLOSE quick AGAIN…this is reference to McCain gains ground in new poll of battleground state……..Why is is that Sarah Palin has the highest approval rating of any Governor in the United States? 80%. Nuff said. Sarah Palin 12 & 16′

Let me PLEASE answer this question…………..When interviewed, many Alaska's said that Palin is not the person McCain is trying to SELL her to be. If she is elected to be VP, we will suffer what they have had to suffer since she was elected Governor and back stabbed the old Mayor to get his job. That McCain statements about Palin are mostly lies and we hope the American voters FIND out the truth before they enter into those voter booths. They BEGGED that they names not be included with their comments when published. They made it clear that they are AFRAID She will seek RETALIATION against them by abusing her power of authority as she has in the past. This is how Palin got those approvals.

I think Barbara did a good job on McCain, is Cindy jealous? If she would stop wearing all those expensive clothes and get down to earth like the rest of us she might come across a little better. I guess if she has the money she can flaunt it. She is not worrying about the people and where there next meal is coming from

Honey, if The View hosts asked the toughest questions, you've got another thing coming. You're husband's campaign is shameful. And so are you.

please give me a brak!!!!!!!!!

Those mean women. I hate women, too, Cindy. They've always been mean to me. Nasty things, women are. Demanding honesty. Gawd how I hate them for that.

*** That should read "lie about anything and everything"

Oh Cindy, Cindy Cindy, Cindy— whew I think the wrong McCain
is running for President. Buy the way your eye shadow is also
running.

So where these people expecting a free ride on the View?….Think again and yes the american people are waking up to McCain/Palin lies.

BONES are all that McSame and HolyRoller Palin will have left, come Nov. 4. Obama will mop the floor with them, and send them back in a pine box.

There are ALOT of Obamians keeping their voting intentions quiet, until "YES, We Can"-Tuesday, just to blow those repuglicans out of the water.

McSame SEALED his already-doomed campaign when he chose HolyRoller to be VP. Having her one-step from the presidency is something the American public will simply not allow.

51 days, then its YES WE CAN-time !!!

I think it's great The View started picking at the bones hidden in the McCain walk-in closets. If you can stand the heat under pressure from direct questions, send your chefs, maids and dishwashers out of the kitchen(S).

I really really really hope they don't get away with this approach that says they can like about anything and everything and blame the backlash on the media.

Way to go Cindy McCain. We aren't fooled by the media. The media want to determine our country's fate. They want rockstar presidents and movie star governers.

I think it is perfectly fair to ask legitimate questions. But what bothers me is the the MANNER in which these questions are asked. I have seen too often how disrespectful the media has become to the McCain campaign–reminiscent of the Clinton campaign during the primaries–and how Obama gets respectful, once-in-a-while-tough questioning.

Take Larry King for example. He can get persistent and can be pressing on his questioning, but maintains professionalism and respect in doing so. Whereas Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, Campbell Brown are just plain vicious.

It's like demonizing the guest EVEN before getting the facts straightened out.

funny, wonder why the view is soooo easy on Obama and his wife, It was a cake walk for them, a couple of weeks ago Joy sat in her seat on the view and rapped a song for Obama, Its sickening how they are all so one sided,

Where are the republicans? Why arent you defending Cindy's remarks? Republicans seem to think that talking so loud only their voice is heard means they are correct. Cant do that in blogs can you?

I like the remark curtis in WI wrote:
How dare people expect you to tell the truth and defend your positions? Just who do they think they are? Voters??????

So Cindy is a liar like her pathological liar husband?

JOHN MCCAIN LIES BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS, BECAUSE HE HAS NO FAITH IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE WANTS TO FORCE THIS COUNTRY BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF LEAD US TOGETHER INTO THE FUTURE.i

Stop whinning Cindy!. Senator McCain has just lost his soul to win. Truth, integrity, and honesty are apparently not in his dictionary anymore. He is not the man that was.

Cindy act like she grew up poor and went to public school in a poor neighbor on her audio.. She is a great liar. Gov. Sarah Palin started this campaign off with a great lie and it has been growing every since.

This is a lie machine the McCain and the Palin are leading the way…

From

I saw the view on Friday and have to admit that it was one of the best interviews I've seen in a while. Ms. Walters and her panel asked all the right questions and I do agree with Mrs. McCain they picked there bones clean; unfortunately, I didn't like what I saw. Some answers Sen. McCain gave he answered like a true politician, not giving a direct answer. I think "The View" did a great job forcing him to answer some of the questions. In addition, to address Mrs. McCain statement on the media coverage, what I see and what I’m saying is McCain/Palin more of the same, don’t get too confident Nov 4th is several weeks away.

it's the media's duty to ask tough questions. if mccain/palin can't handle the heat then they need to drop out of the race.

frankly, the media hasn't been asking enough tough questions *cough*cnn*cough*.

cindy probably isn't used to this treatment since everything in her life has been handed to her on a golden platter…

Oh Please Cindy:

There are thousand more bones to pick. By time the media finish with your Republican lies, you will all be skeletons.

If the shoe was on the only foot. The media would rip him apart. If he had a teenage daughter pregnant. I couldn't believe how the Republican people thinks that his is such a special moment. She is still a child and having a child. This is disgusting, she needs to be in school somewhere, instead of playing house. In Sarah's interview, she was ask do you have a nanny or maid, she said no I have two teenage daughters. Why can't her daughters grow up like all other teenagers with school and friends. How could she put this huge responsiblity on her daughter. She needs to be home with her kids, instead parading around with a Bible in one hand a gun in the other and shooting down mooses from a helicopter. What is the world coming to?

I'll be interested to see if the women on The View are just as tough on Barack Obama and his wife. FactCheck has pointed out lies in Obama's ads as well, and if the rumors about the content of Michelle's thesis are true, it would be interesting to see if the women jump on that. I like that they were willing to press McCain and I hope they do that with all the candidates.

However, I believe Walters is the only one who is an actual journalist, so the opinions of Behar, Goldberg, and the rest mean about as much to me as that of Matt Damon.

Yea Cindy!!! You're right–those bitty's on the view were disgusting. I've lost all respect for Barbara Walters. Joy Behar is just loose nutball! She should shut her trap and listen more. I'm ashamed to call lmyself a Democrat (40yrs). Poor old OBama can't take the heat and everyone is jumping to try and save a lost cause. Well it's not going to work. This xdemocratic family is voting McCain/Palin. How you like them apples OB?

ITS NOT NICE WHEN THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT. AS LONG AS OBAMA/MICHELLE ARE CRITICIZED EVERYTHING IS OKAY. OBAMA TOOK . NOW YOU CAN TAKE IT LITTLE CINDY.

Oh, poor Cindy…the girls on The View scared you? If you think they were scary wait till you get to know your husband's running mate.

Funny how Cindy didn't mention anything about how "The View" host Elisabeth whatever her last name is,slammed Michelle Obama.

Poor little Cindy! Did the big bad media actually ask your highness a question? How dare they!

Cindy, if your husband had nothing to hide he could go on any show and still keep his cool! He was not able to justify all the lies in his campaign ads or concerning Mrs. Palin. Why don't you encourage your husband to run an honest campaign and you would'nt have to ruin your makeup up being angry. Not a good shot, Cindy!

Will someone PLEASE give her a WAKE UP CALL!!!! The media has been letting you slide so the view did the job of the media!!!

I'm no fan of The View ladies, but I watched that segment and in no way did they "pick their bones clean". They asked some legitimate questions, and didn't even press that hard when they got stonewalled or got lied to. They actually conducted a fairly good interview, without throwing a bunch of shallow nonsense that no one cares about.

Spare me Cindy!

i know, right? How dare the media actually ask real questions…

It's about itme someone in the medai started asking some questions. I'm amazed he did't try to answer them by saying "I was a POW and I'm a war hero and I have 100% support from veterans." I am a Vietnam Veteran. This guy is so dirty. Go to youtube and search McCain Veteran, or McCain economy or McCain voting record, or just plain McCain. Many of the videos are his own words and many others are people that have been so unfortunate as to come accross himn in their lives. I have factcheck.org bookmarked. They aren't sparing on anyone, but whre they say things about "Obama stretches the facts" on some items they have 5 times as many "McCain totally flse statements"

Maybe she should take some medication to dull the pain.

I am not a follower of John and Cindy MacCain and especially not Sarah Palin -she should be running for planet Mars with her thoughts of global warming and anti-sex ed.

However I thought Walters was especially poor in her interviewing skills and lact a lot of tact with her personal opinions. I don't care how many houses John and Cindy own. That has nothing to do with the race. He married a rich woman. Of course they own 7 or more houses.

Trust me.. we can handle the truth. u don't have to lie . we can see a fake lies from a mile away

All those "witches" on the view are multi-millionaires. How dare they cast stones. They lives in Mansions with maids and every conceivable luxury known to man. I saw the whole interview and they are just jealous of John & Cindy McCain, it's obvious.

They've told so many lies and they can't backpadle from them, so they're trying to portray those who are questioning the lies and looking for the truth as the enemy or something.

Barbara Walters picked your bones clean?? Seriously? Barbara Walters?

C'mon now McCain!!

When is some reporter really going to take this bunch of liars to town? Because Walters can't have been the worst one out there, she just can't be. She was just asking some simple questions that we all have a right to aks and they couldn't even answer those…

And now they're accusing Walters of picking their bones clean… why? because she didn't cuddle them to death! Some people really can only dish it out and not take any of it themselves… cry babies!

Cindy needs to stay out of it.

John has people to address these issues.

Oh boy. You know tough questions have to be asked of ALL candidates, including Obama. He has had a relatively free ride with the press, even after many in the press acknowledged that. Still has not yet really answered many questions with specifics. Only that he is the ONE to change Washington. Please spare me how he will give you health care, lower your taxes. soak the rich, improve America's image in the world. He only says that he will do this stuff, doesn't really offer any specifics on how he will pay for it or really do it.. In a recent interview, he even explored the possibility of extending the Bush tax cuts. Yes people, he actually did. So the press should pick ALL of their bones clean. And angry liberals, please tone it down. That's what turns people off to the Dem party. I am myself a moderate/independent leaning towards Obama but I have to tell you, the rantings of the luney left give me pause if this is the kind of admin that he will have.

After McCain was on I don't really think they will let Palin go on unless she is well scripted to give non answers

We are seeing a clear difference of media hype and forgiveness and love for the new one on the trail. Palin has no substance.

America knows she is a disgrace to Wemen, becuse she is being manipulated by the GOP/media. They deserve each other.

America is the laguhing stock of the world. It is unbelievable that the so called inteligent journalist are not able to make comments on the issues of substance. I am tired of Palin Palin and more Palin with no subatance.

Peole dont be fooled. make sure you vote in record numbers, because the delvils are on the prowl

the $ 300,000.00 outfit women, how can anybody vote for mccain, how in the hhhh can he know anything about plain people. PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T BE FOOLED.

Unbelievable. We will see what happens with this election. If the American people did not learn their lesson after 2004, then maybe they will learn it after 2008.

Man, I hope that the American people learn their lesson sometime in the future and before we lose our whole country to foreign interests. At that point and not so certain if there will be any reason to vote at all.

Okay, okay, okay, the country is not ready to vote for Obama. Can we substitute him with someone like Bozo the Clown or maybe Spongebob. I mean, whatever works because anything is better than McLowIQ and Bullwinkle Killer. Actually, I think an actual Bush 3rd term is preferable to McDumb and Simon Sez. I hate to see the American people do this to themselves, yet again.

John McCain wishes to pander to the Republican base…because he wishes to become president before he becomes too old to be president….He wants to use Sarah Palin as a pawn to get there, and Sarah Palin is more than glad to be used as a pawn in order to get herself and her religous beliefs into the White House. I'm sure McCain wishes he was already president, so he can be above all the tough questions, but some people aren't so lucky.

Maybe Cindy go shopping to help her get her mind off of these bad media types who criticize her poor hubby….whats the matter- can't McCain complain for himself…he has to have his wife do it for him. Heck, he probably forgot about it already…a little dementia goes a long way.

Generally, the posters have it right. Stop whining, Mrs. McCain. This is politics of the highest order. Your husband has been constantly attacking Obama with lies. Now, it's time your husband is attacked with the truth.

I did not see the view, but listened to the show on the radio. Barbara Walters was brutal and was unbecoming of her. Just from listening, she would not allow John McCain to finish a sentence without her budding in with some remark or requestioning. From listening, her tone was dehumanizing. If this is the turn she is taking in journalism, she needs to retire. Yes, she was disrespectful. I suggest some of the viewers should listen, not watch!

Cindy No McShame…Even Karl Rove is disgusted with the lies coming from the McBush faction. With all of your money, one would think that you would have better things to do than try and buy your way into the White House. You and old man McPain need to retire and let someone with brains and integrity lead the country.

Keep on hiding PALIN from the Media for it will be worse for her. Hope she will have some meet left once she meets the MSM

Could Cindy just shup up! If she wants to stand in front of public, she should talk about how to steal a husband from another woman!!!

The Obamabots are out in full force again today. Cindy McCain is correct. While the media cuddles and feeds baby Obama his daily pablum, they are trying to destroy Palin & McCain,. Not going to happen this time. Obama's rise is over, he is on the way down. Oh and don't tell me about lies,. Obama is the greatest liar, and manipulator of them all.

Let's stop telling lies. Obama did not call Palin a lipstick pig.
McCain did he Squeal! That’s all folks.

Obama & Biden ‘08
Hillary & Warner ‘16

Wow, I would've thought that Cindy would be used to having her bones "picked clean" after that whole drug addiction fiasco. But I guess a morning talk show is more important than a multi-millionaire heiress stealing from charities.

Why is Cindy so tochy?
The media has a right to question the credentials of Palin who barely finished a university degree in 5 differet colleges.
The media is not doing its job. If they had, we would have know by now that the mother of Trig is Bristrol.
We would have know that she was picked because she like guns and hunting. Apparentely having not had an abortion is the only qualification she needs with a man who is almost dead running for the presidency.
If you hypocritical chirsitans want family value look at Obama and Biden. Both committed husbands who have been faithful to their wives even in death in Biden's case. Not lusty McCain and adulter Cindy, not to talk of the dysfunctional Palin family where durgs and teenage pregnancy and corver up abound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Media do your job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe if the McCains and Palin simply ANSWERED a question instead of spewing a blizzard of words they wouldn't feel like their bones got picked clean… but they TALK AND TALK AND TALK and say nothing…. never an answer.

You go Cindy. The Native People will be represented by John McCain who is from Arizona, one of the highest Native American population in America, and Palin's husband is Alaska Native. It's time Native America is in the White House and making decisions best for our people. Be picky about who you choose to be interviewed by, it's very obvious that many in the media are for Obama. We are for you and welcome you to our tribes!

I don't think them bones are nearly clean yet. There is still a little matter of tax returns, Cindy?

well , it would be a lot easier if they told the truth. lying takes a lot , especially when your old and you can't remember what you said to who.
I guess have had an affair with a married man didn't give her enough lying experience

Oh dear, not a very flattering photo of Mrs. Stepford McCain. She looks as if she could shoot darts from those cold steel eyes .

poor thing. stop the lies.

I am so surprised that Evangelicals are backing a ticket that has lied about everything. McCain even lied in the FACES of the View hosts, saying that Palin has never taken any earmarks as governor. He lied right IN THEIR FACES!

They have lied so much that I cannot trust what they're saying anymore and I don't believe God is with them. Too much deception there.

McCain is doing exactly the same thing that Bush did in both of his runs for the White House. If we're not happy with Bush, then why are some voting for this type of government again? BAD IDEA- McCain/Palin will destroy this country.

Despite the fact that we know nothing but the stump speech Palin gave at the RNC which she xeroxes left and right, The McCain camp hiding her from real dialogue, and all real interaction with her so far being lackluster, we have people blindly saying she 'represents them' with stars in their eyes……

….meanwhile people in some of the swing states who know Barack Obama's middle name just so they can cite it as why they won't vote for him, and while we know more about Obama than almost anyone can tell me about McCain (what's his middle name?), they are still saying gee, they just haven't gotten to know Obama yet…….

Cindy McCain, it's time the media stands up and says this is what we do. And it's fair, and it's objective, and it's called accountability. This is not the John McCain from 2000, this is someone who wants to win at all costs, even if it costs us all another 4 years of the old guard that's been wasting the last 8.

Who does Cindy McCain think she is fooling? Boy John must be really running scared when he had to put Cindy in the Media as well as Sarah to promote his cause!! If that doesn't tell the Republicans they are in trouble they are stone deaf! Cindy won't change my mind one iota!

Poor Cindy with all her millions and the heritage her daddy left her, she still can't get her husband elected on Money Alone! Suprise! Not.
Cindy showed her true colors with when the reporter asked her if comments about her millions annoyed her, her agitated response confirming her right to her Heritage told me all I needed to know!
They are THE ELITE and their lack of concern for their Nation and Americans couldn't make it any clearer!

The only change Obama will bring is what we will have left in our pockets.

"He with the most money" wins politics is ANYTHING, but new. ANYTHING, but reform.

It wasn't supposed to be about money. Obama vowed to stand by campaign finance reform & look at him now — every other story is about how much money he has raised.

Bet Letterman & SNL aren't questioning him like Barbara Walters questioned McCain. By the way, Ms. Walters once a question has been asked & answered there is no need to ask AGAIN just because YOU don't like or agree with the answer. What happened to her journalism credentials?! They certainly wouldn't grill Obama like that — even though he claims to be all about the ISSUES.

Sick!!! No good candidates….just more politicians….

Just and old botoxed to the bone women with a poor education that leave her blinded to any self examination.

The absence of any logical examination of her husbands dammed campagin lies and the consequesnces of same on her mental status shows a lack of clarity in her thought pattern and a the vivid sense of her superority complex.

Thwe View is just the beginning of the ending of the Mc Cain- Palin Error.

Obama -Biden 09 for sure!

Oh spare me!!! How come we don't hear more about how the Dr. that gave Cindy McCain all of those prescriptions (and his prescription pad) got his license taken away and has never practiced ever since and also the fact that the charity she was stealing from had to close down!!!!! She's about as honest as her husband and his band of liars!!!!! I really don't think the American people are being as fooled by these people (including Palin) as the press would have us believe!

Oh I simply love some of these posted comments. Do you people REALLY expect us to believe the bull the "innocent" and "all truthful" Democrats are trying to say? NOT! But all is fair in love and war so let the liberals have their fun today and the conservatives can return the favor tomorrow. But I do seem to recall hearing some garbage from Barack Obama way back when about bringing the nation together…..FAT CHANCE! People will pick sides and we'll be divided more than ever no matter who wins. Politics is great isn't it…..oh I forgot…..it's only a game so pick your side and ride it out! Too bad we never get to the serious issues that benefit all of us.

Kudos to "The View" for asking questions we all need answering. This is what happens when McCain campaign keep their puppet, Palin, away from the media.
And Cindy M. reminds me a tad of Lady Macbeth, and that's not a compliment.

I'm surprised that Cindy didn't call The View hosts a bunch of SEXISTS.

The truth is…McCain has been lying. It's a shame that it takes a show like The View to point it out.

I used to respect John McCain. Not anymore.

Obama / Biden 08!

Just and old botoxed to the bone women with a poor education that leave her blinded to any self examination.

Obama -Biden 09 for sure!

Ask Cindy Why is it the McCain and Palin are stating they are trying to appeal to the Hockey mom's, shouldn't they be trying to appeal to all Americans, You never here them say we are trying to reach African americans, Asians, hispanic or any other minority group. The question is if you are seeking the office of President of the United States should you be trying to appeal to the all the people of the United Sates and not one segment.

While I agree that the View crew was over the line, I think the hosts were expressing a frustration that we all feel. The frustration that the McCain strategy is to hide Palin from the American media until she has had time to memorize the campaign montra.

It is a real shame our politics have sunken to hiding candidates and whining about media questions.

What's wrong Cindy can't stand anyone trying to get to the truth. However, how would you know what truth is. You stole another woman's husband and now even Karl Rove is calling all of you liars.

Someone should tell "Barbie McCain" that if her husband can dish it out, he should be able to take the same in return.

Facts are that I am disgusted with the way that campaign managers for both candidates have been running this mud slinging election, but I will still vote for Obama over another "Bush clone".

They were right to pick your bones. The ads the View hostesses were referring to were such bold face lies, that McCain should be ashamed. OK he's a hero but he's also a liar. He also has such a temper! Had they pressed him a bit more he would have exploded. You could see it coming. I don't think that he has a calm enough temperament to be the ultimate decision maker for the country. And God help his VP if she were the one left in charge. She'd probably have to consult her map to see where any other country is in the world. She listed Ireland as one of the countries she's visited when her plane only stopped there to re-fuel. Another liar!

No one gets nasty with Obama- but Charlie Gibson was hateful with Sarah… asking her questions with no answers… The Bush Doctrine- ALL BAD THINGS HAVE BECOME THE BUSH DOCTRINE- so she was astute to ask, "in what respect, Charlie?"

First you MUST agree on a definition of something before you can intelligently address it. Otherwise it is just rhetoric.

Only Obama gets praise for empty, vague, rhetoric…. anyone else gets grilled on it and pushed for REAL answers.

Obama flies on oratory and nothing else and everyone exclaims: How wonderful.

I enjoyed Cindy's speech at the RNC, but this is another campaign blunder. Dealing the heat out like this, and not being able to take it back is the sign of some immaturity.

I am sorry, but McCain's presidency is lending my eyes to that of a 'whiner' and a 'complainer'. What happens if others criticize McCain as president? Will they wind up in a federal prison off the radar?

Were you that offended when John gave you some straight talk, when you touched his hair. LOL

Now he has his wife, the rich and controlled, acting like a puppet.

You can't reject the fruit. You and Jonh planted the seed — the original lie.

Now you are upset the voters are smart. LOL

Obama Biden has won big

you are an old championship team, needing to rebuild,

The final Script is comming into manifestion, Now

As we remove that beam, you will wee who will tranform this scene

not the man with the POW as a reason theme.

John first, self-served LOL

I saw the show…. she was defensive from the getgo… why can't she answer a simple question like HOW MANY HOMES DO YOU OWN?

What a stupid STUPID woman!

I am so proud of the women on The View for putting an end to the McCain distortions and forcing him to address issues and take responsibility for the statements made by his campaign. Now he's had to face the voters and say "I stand behind those ads" even though the factual lies and slimy distortions in them have been exposed. Nobody can now believe that McCain's a good guy with sleazy Rovian handlers.

I am sure that The View will leave off the kid gloves when they interview Obama, too. But Obama's not in as vulnerable a position because his campaign has been relatively truthful. We are starting to see tougher talk from Obama now, but it's not below-the-belt stuff. The quote attributed to Lincoln applies: "If you don't stop lying about me, I'm going to have to start telling the truth about you."

How pathetic. Barbara Walters "grilling" was nothing more than her trying to sound relevant during this election year. Her focus was on being "tough" not "meaningful." How sad that a woman who once covered the issues is now nothing more than another media member trying to make a story out of nothing. If Barbara that it relevant to ask of the VP credentials, why has she NOT done the same of the PRES credentials of Obama. Again, what a waste.

It's suprising that Elisabeth, the most conservative and bullheaded of the panel, just sat there without coming to their defense. Do you know why? Because Elisabeth will not defend a LIE and she knew that her co-host were being fair.

Money can only buy people that are like the sellers. You think all your bucks can buy anyone, again you are wrong.

Barbara Walters did the kind of job all reporters should be doing……and did anyone else notice how cheap Cindy looked …..is she trying to look younger….for some reason ?????Hhmmm???

I love how all the Republicans get so defensive when they are asked hard questions, yet they continue to mock Obama's religious views, employment history, and experience.

Who cares what Cindy McCain thinks or says. She's just another husband-stealing, rich person that is out of touch with the real world. She's so used to people catering to her that she gets offended when she meets someone that doesn't.

stop whining….

WAH WAH WAH

Now now little one, do some shopping, go to the spa, you'll fell better. Those big mean ladies on the View are just mean trying to hold you and your husband up to the TRUTH!!!! How dare they ask you in depth questions.

How did the Rachael Ray show go? Did she ask Cindy about her fathers felony convition? How he got the Budweiser distributorship?

Did she ask John about why the Keating 5 was left out of his biography? About how much John has been getting in donations from big oil.

You embarress yourselve. What did you expect, everyone should love you because you are rich and pretty?????

apparently, she didn't realize that her husband was a liar and morally unfit to be President of the United States. Perhaps she should have realized that when he was married while they were dating

the bones that they picked clean do spread their living habits over 8 or so homes — keep whining about reality babe. Your hubby has been checkin' out Palin behind the podium and propped you way behind the podium out of the public's eye. I think you are getting a bit testy with all the attention taken away from you.

P.S. Nice make-over … didn't happen to have anything to do with your hubby's pick for his partner in crime, or did it?

The ladies of the view (most of them) acted outrageously. To accuse McCain of spreading lies was outrageous. Obama flat out knew what he was doing when he threw out the "lipstick on a pig" statement. Why else would his campaigne have a statement already prepared saying McCain had once said the same thing? Because Obama knew saying what he said would be related to Palin, he knew there would be a controversy. Obama serving Drama (and then acting sooooo holier than thou). Watch out Obama, your horns are showing.

If McCain has the ability to own 97 houses, then apparently he knows what he is doing, and would likely be someone you would like running your economy.

Wow, those were some tough questions they got asked on the view. Not as tough as the interview I had to go through before becoming a dog walker but you know…McCain only wants to be President.

They are actually beginning to believe their own lies. Even Karl Rove is admitting that the McCain/Palin campaign is completely disrespectful and unfounded! I say Whoopi was right! And, Barbara, too!

You reap the seeds that are sewn.

Are the Republicans really plan on winning this campaign by obtaining the sympathy vote?

It's about time, somebody from the media started seeking the truth. Who would have thought it would be from the ladies at the View? Maybe the rest of the media will follow suit.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
yeah right-Obama should be unfairly scrutinized and bashed while John mccain and his vp choice is untouched-right cyndy?? u can claim anything u want but your husband is not gonna win this election. not when the Americans are so involved this time around-you and the GOP lies are not going to work this time around.

please cnn post my comments-i'm getting weary of blogging in your site because none of my views are ever posted

No disrespect Barbie McCain, but this election isn't about the same things as the Miss Alaska contest…. questions are going to be a little tougher than "how will Governor Palin skin a moose"!

The View DID finally speak the truth! Yes, we are seeing a clear difference with these candidates and we are seeing who is going to make the best president…OBAMA '08! Joy has always has enough nerve to speak the truth and finally Barbara nailed your husband, but he still could not tell the truth. He was literally squirming. Why do you think the media ist always negative when you and your husband are being questioned? We are not stupid! We see through your lies and hateful remarks. Obama should not have to grovel in the mud with your husband. McCain is slinging disgusting attacks at Obama and we all know the truth!

The view was just doing what reporters won't and what McCain/Palin are deliberately trying to avoid. Just go pop a few more pills Cindy so you can float back into la-la-land, reality is obviously much too powerful for your fragile mind to handle.

Now THIS is what you call an elitist!
Wearing a $300,000 dress for a campaign event! how out of touch she and her husband are from the real American people! people can't even afford to keep their homes. Wait, does she care?.. Uh no! she and her husband can't count the number of houses they have!

Poor Cindy. I guess she feels that those who are privileged shouldn't be questioned… What an elitist!

I thought the ladies on The View went easy on them. He never did clear up HOW she was going to "change" Washington. I think this victim card that they keep playing is wearing thin.

I don't have much faith in the people of this nation, because they were dumb enough to vote for Bush and some of the hicks and females are getting excited over a woman with less experience and intelligence than the Black man they claim they don't believe is experienced enough. There are still many racists and many white women who just aren't that bright, so I suggest those who believe that we can keep believing, because one day we will. But there is a chance that we are outnumbered by the lesser intelligent on this election …. again.

Pick your bones clean. Does this mean the McCains were forced to tell the truth and quit the lies.

Oh man, she looks scary in that picture! Like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction…

Now kids, everyone learn; when someone has a different veiw call them, "un-patriotic," you are never in the wrong, and most of all if someone questions you say they are just trying to smear you with lies.

The whole McCain/ Bush/ Rove group just needs to go away.

Everybody is disrespectful for these people… I guess it's hard for a princess to come a real world. First Lady is a though job.

Unfortunately I don't have much sympathy.

Here's what I don't understand:

Sen. McCain says "if Obama had agreed to town hall meetings, the tone of this campaign would be different."

What does that mean? If I were interviewing him, I'd ask

"Senator McCain, are you saying that if Sen. Obama agreed to your schedule of 'town hall' meetings, you would not be putting out ads most experts are saying are untruthful?

Are you saying that if he doesn't agree to your proposed schedule you will continue to put out ads with untruthful material?

Is this how you will deal with opponents domestically and abroad if you reach the White House?

Can you think of untrue claims the Bush Administration made against any domestic and foreign opponent or rival or sovereign nation in the last eight years?"

Then I'd like to hear McCain's answer. I'm surprised no one has asked him about the remark he made on The View and in other interviews.

One thing the American public doesn't like is being lied to.

If you can't prove your haven't been lying in public (McCain's camp) then you deserve to get heat. McCain has to change their tone, or set things straight and clean conscious. Otherwise, you're just angering the integrity of the public.

Americans don't like being taken as fools and lemmings.

Anyone tell the old main he's losing his bounce?

Surely, she didnt think because women were asking the questions it was going to easy. It is very clear that he is not comfortable with women. He doesnt like to be someone that disagrees. Look at Palin!! She is only doing what she is told to do like a puppet. Is that the kind of life he has at home?

To all these new Palin women, you should really take note that as a woman he has little use for you and how dare you question him.

Think about it…

Word of advice Obama Campaign!! Get Bill and Hillary out there along with some of these others. Obama and Biden need to look like a team. They are a great 1-2 punch.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Let me get this straight, the women on the "View" picked your bones clean? I don't think so, they asked questions that John felt uncomfortable answering and he avoided answering truthfully. At least you cannot charge "sexism" on this one. Maybe if John gets elected, he can eliminate the "View."

American people ARE saying things and asking questions like the ones presented on the view.
The gop is SO FAR OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICANS!
EIGHT IS (more than) ENOUGH!

You DARN RIGHT!!!! They sure did!! and the McCain Campaign is being exposed for the out right LIARS THEY ARE!!! PANTS ON FIRE LIES!!! let's start with the latest LIE….PALIN NEVER EVEN WENT TO IRAQ!!!!I enjoyed the view on Friday, they are by far the only ones in the media who are speaking for real voters!! They asked the questions a voter like me wanted to know!! Like what and who exactly are they going to reform?? Themselves?? They are a bunch of frauds!! But I heard it for myself John McCain wants to overturn ROE V WADE!!! I was floored!! I FELL out my chair!!He has no answer for the economy because HE DOES NOT CARE!!!Why should he has NINE HOUSES!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! These people don't care about the little guy, they care about power!! PLEASE AMERICA!! ALL YOU RED STATES, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!WAKE UP!!!PLEASE!!

Mrs. Mccain is so pathetic. Who else are you going accuse. I do commend the view for asking the questions the media should be asking and trust me lady if you think that was tough, it is going to get tougher. You might need to grow a thick skin.

Won't be posted, but I will try. When The View grills Barack Obama like they grilled John McCain, I might listen. Otherwise, their partisanship is very apparent

Somebody let Cindy know that her husband is running for President of the United States. People take this very seriously. Although her husband does not know how to use a computer….almost everyone else does and facts can be checked almost immediately. They cannot keep repeating lies and hope that nobody does some fact checking.

Obama doesn't permit the media to be hard on him or to be unfavorable- he holds the race card.

And he makes no bones about saying: Don't parse my words. Now now… you aren't listening… let me be clear… and they all fall in line and go along with his spin.

You done good. They grilled but I think it backfired. Whoopi lost my respect due to her obvious disrespect and smugness.

Cindy what did you accomplish in life . NADA
don't have to I just inherited 300 mil good !!!!!!!

Hillary ——- Yale Law School
Michelle —— Harvard Law School
SARAH PALIN (BIMBO) _______ Beauty School

I, for one, would be glad to see someone in the media other than the ladies from the View, Jon Stewart, and the cast of Saturday Night Live make these liars choke on their own words. Quit complaining while you're ahead, Cindy Lou.

Does this have a ring of familiarity?

Anyone who called Bush/Cheney on their lies were attacked!!!

The fact that she is attacking The View shows that the rest of the MEDIA, HELLO CNN!!!, has been sitting on their hands allowing lies to be represented as truth.

When Palin first claimed she gave the Bridge money back to the Feds it only took me ONE DAY to find out it was a LIE. It took the media, including CNN, a week.

It is the media's responsibility to call people out on their lies. The public cannot do it themselves.

Cindy is exactly right–Barbara, Whoppie and Joy were very, very rude. When Joy asked Mccain why he lied in his ads, about the Pig and Lipstick, he said they weren't lies. Joy, you need to look at the film again when Obama said it. He lied the next day when he said that he didn't mean Sarah Palin when he said this, but he knew from the way the audience reacted to the statment–they thought he was referring to her. He did not try to correct it with them. You and your co-host need to quit showing your bias so much. I NEVER watch your show, just wanted to watch that day because John and Cindy were going to be on. It wasn't a waste of my time, because the Mccains were so gracious to a bunch of "talk at the same time" co-host and your rudeness to an American Hero such as John Mccain and to someone like Cindy who has given of herself to humantarian causes, has not gone unnoticed by the public that believes in fair play. You all should be ashamed.

How much detail can McCain be expected to go into on a show like the View? What was unfair about it was that the appropriate answers were so lengthy that it was impossible to give in the time alloted. The questions were sometimes not questions but rather accusations. A true debate forum would've given the McCain's a chance to fully explain. Between the true complexity of the answers (unable to be given in the alloted time, and Barbara Walters and Joy cutting McCain off left and right with biting sarcasm it was impossible to get to the truth.

Let's be honest. Whoopi is for Obama. Barbara is for Obama. Joy is for Obama. Elizabeth if for McCain. This is the first time I have watch any part of the show this year and I can see that. The looks exchanged btw. Barbara and Whoopi were completely disrespectful of someone seeking the presidency and someone who has served this country. What happened to respect? What happened to respectful discourse? It was shameful.

Stand up for what is right Cindy! The woman on the View were quite a clear example of 'Shrill'! A display of 'shrill emotion' over 'common sense' and 'decency'. These rich woman live in a fantacy world where a new golden boy would be quite a tickle to their cocktail party conversation and if someone gets in the way of their play…watch out because they will sharpen their knifes and go for the kill. It was a sad display of what is wrong with society today in the upper echelons.

The Republicans only like to get interviewed by those who will parrot their talking points, ask about mooseburgers, and continue to push the idea that there is an actual demographic in America called Hockey Moms.

More complaining from a woman who owns seven homes and says "the only way to travel in Arizona is by private jet". What a joke!

Cindy, nobody cares what you think. Spare me the whining. It's about time that your lying husband and his grossly unprepared running-mate reap what they've sown!

I love it!

Stop your whining you whiner!

Does she think that people should just take her husband's statements at face value? Does she really think that just because they say so, it's the truth? Give the audience some credit Cindy McCain there's some that like to think outside your box.

I find it alarming how race isnt suppose to be an issue but the African American celebrities are the first to use the issue like Mz. Goldberg did on the View!

More lies and false outrage from McBush. How dare anyone ask John McCain real questions?! As for pulling ahead, I think not. McCain got a convention bounce that is now fading (Obama is back even overall in the polls), and the mainstream media is finally beginning to dig into Palin's false story of being an honest agent of change. She is Bush Jr., doing in Alaska what Bush has done in the White House–lying, hiring cronies, and acting corrupt at every turn. It's all coming out, and McCain's campaign is about to come apart. They can't talk about issues because they know they lose on those. So they make up stuff like this.

I cant wait till the media actually does their job and calls out Palin on her lies too. She'll be like a pig with lipstick caught in the headlights.

Doesn't it seem like, a campaign and the media would be interested in the what next President'specific plans and policies and timeline of implementing things for the good of America ? Why all the stupid media activities and duncely questions like how many houses does someone have ? What difference does it make ?

Poor rich lady…the truth hurts! John McCain is a huge disappointment to the American people and becoming a joke to the rest of the free world…and you are not helping him with your flash of cleavage and pearls.

He was once a war hero of honor and integrity; now he is a Bush wanna be!!! So sad.

Poor Cindy…maybe she can find some food in one of her nine homes to put some meat back on those bones.

Cindy, precious, when the rethuglicans used their convention to attack Obama relentlessly all the while lying on him, where was your outrage then luvcups? You rethugs are disgusting and how you guys sleep at night is a source of continual astonishment to me. How any rethuglican can consider voting for the two pathological liars mccain/palin is another source of continuous amazement to me. And in reality the polls mean nothing, I never got excited when Obama was leading non stop before the convention, which is another point, how come johnny boy being so well know never once led in the polls against the new guy until now?

and here comes McWitch!

I hope interviewers as Obama about the 1 BILLION in earmarks he requested, and he's on the top of the ticket. Which ticket is more likely to ask for earmarks?

Americans aren't stupid. For every political mistruth the McCain campaign shells out, the Obama campaign dishes out three. It's simple, its true, and it makes Obama the hpocrite.

I honestly think that the Mccains think that we are stupid. I don’t know how they are pulling ahead in the polls, and I have no clue to where these polls are conducted. One thing I know though, the month of August brought Obama $66m. this is my poll, the 66m

Picked their bones clean? Please. It was "tough" by today's pitiful People Magazine standards. But imagine if we still had a PRESS that asked tough questions. These whiners like Cindy McCain would be in tears. And that might damage her 350K outfits.

Sad day when the really tough interview is done by The View; even according to Cindy's and McCain's own opininon.

The ladies on the View just asked the questions that so many common people would want to ask if they were sitting there. What's so tough about that?

the fact is that there are only two people qualified to be on either ticket- Joe Biden and John McCain. my decision is too simple. Painting the Clintons as racists then asking for their help is shameful. Easy choice.

Cindy Mccain of the beer inheritance? cindy mccain of the $313,100 outfit? of the 10 houses? of the $250,000 cleaning staff?

are you kidding?

they treated the mccains with kid gloves. I watched it. and they really could have been A LOT tougher.

It is important the mccains get exposed for what they are to the american people BEFORE the election, not AFTER.

You're pulling ahead because the American people enjoy being lied to.

We see a clear difference with these candidates, all right. McCain panicked over the polls and abandoned his moral values in favor of lies and cynical strategies. If he had our interests at heart, he would be focusing on policy. He would understand that Americans need more access to the opinions of the Republican vp candidate. The needs of the average voter don't seem to register with him.

Is this the "transparency" that he would bring to the White House? What a slap in the face of the democratic process.

Cindy is right…I see a clear difference in the candidates. One of them can look the American people right in the eye and lie to them. The other one has integrity and is running a campaign based on the issues the American people care about .

I'm voting for the one with integrity.

Obama/Biden 08!

If anyone dare to challenge McCain/Palin they are either sexist or disrepectful. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck – it's a duck. Someone who continually lies is a liar!!

Cindy and her husband are both jokes.

They like to dish out dirt but cant take it when they are questioned about it.

Be careful what you say because someone may question you on it.

Temper temper Cindy…..Seems you and John both are hot headed.

The facts are Sexist!!!

I'm John McCain and I approve this message

Now THIS is an elitist!
Wearing a $300,000 dress for a campaign event, while people are loosing their homes! wait… of course she doesn't care, she has seven houses! She and her husband, Mclies are completely out of touch with the American people!

The view just brought out the truth about Mccain….I am from Arizona and if it wasn't for the republican machine not allowing good canidates to run against McCain he wouldn't have been elected so many times..I am and Arizona ZRepublican that just can't bare to see McCain win he is wrong for this country …too hot headed and covers with lies..I am sitting this election out…..Palin was purely a political move…she is not capable of being president…wake up people.

You're bones are being picked clean because they are padded with lying flesh!

Between McSleazy and Pa-Liar, the American Voters have every right to pick your bones clean!

That will be about the only clean thing about this Republican campaign!!!

mccain will have to also explain why hes against equal pay when women protested for it he voted against it

The crack hos on The View are insignificant, undersatisfied whiners. Like they're worth listening to…and like they have a basis of knowledge higher than the average idiot on the street. Go John & Sarah! Kick some butt.

Cindy McCain John Mcbush and Sarah havent seen bone cleaning they are about to get a tatse of their own Gop medicine. With all the lies and controdictions out there with these three , its only a matter of time before the american people see them for the liars they are. The current shine of S. Palin will turn to dust.

The reasons I am supporting Barack Obama:

The BUSH/MCCAIN REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP HAS FAILED:

Bin Ladin has not been captured

War in IRAQ that was fabricated lies by Bush/McCain

4300+ Soldiers killed in Iraq war

Real threat of McCain attacking Iran and Syria and Russia

Fuel Prices through the roof

Largest OIL COMPANY PROFITS in history

Largest OIL COMPANY TAX GIVEAWAY in history

Record Home Forclosures

Record Unemployment

630,000 jobs lost since Republicans took control

Outsourcing of Jobs to foreign countries

Food prices out of control

Failing Education system

50 Million People without Healthcare

ONLY Major Country in the world without UNIVERSAL HEATHCARE

Loss of Respect around the Globe

Failing to recognize Global Warming

SO YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF: ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE 8 YEARS AGO?

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

I appreciated the way the hosts at the view show when after Mccain because the American people need to know where these candidates stand on issues that concern us and not the constant lies of the mccain campaign about sarah palin.I mean Americans wake up lets talk about the issues and i think the media should copy the example from the hosts of the view

The ladies on the View asked the correct questions. Why should the McCains be so "Special" that they shouldn't be asked fair questions.McCain is lying and he feels like it's ok for Palin to lie also. Anything to get in the White House.We know he served his country and was a pow,that still doesn't make him eligible enough to be President. I respect ,which I am sure most Americans do a person who is truthful.I have NO respect for a Liar which McCain and Palin are.To Cindy :where would you be if "Daddy haven't left you all that money.Most of us haven't inherited a fortune or was born with a silver spoon up their butt.THE LADIES ON THE VIEW WERE WOMAN ENOUGH TO DO WHAT MOST MEDIA WILL NOT.Get over yourself Cindy and tell hubby to stop the lies!!!!

Finally somebody in the media stands up and asks you tough questions and you can't take it?

What If Iran or Russia starts asking tough questions? Are you going to run away from those too?

How many houses someone owns has nothing to do with this election. I'm glad Mrs. McCain told them that on The View. What does matter is that Obama kicked off his Illinois State Senate race at the home of Bill Ayers, a terrorist. Why does Bill Ayers support Obama so strongly?

I hardly feel sorry for them when the public just wants answers to questions. Why shouldn't he have to answer questions about his VP's record and choices. We do want to know. If the shoe were on the other foot they certainly would be asking those questions. Stop complaining and talk straight.

She's crying about a what her and her husband said on the view. Hey if you change your platform to reform you better have something you intend on reforming. He couldn't name one thing Palin was going to change other than "all of Washington." You don't go in front of a camera and lie then criticize everyone else. You got called on your BS. It's also puzzling why it takes a daytime talk show to challenge the McCain campaign. The press should be eating McCain alive right now. He's lost his credibility.

Please keep these reptiles out of the White House.

I AM SO SICK OF EVERYONE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND AFFILIATED WITH IT ACTING LIKE THEY ARE THE VICTIMS OF SOME SERIOUS INJUSTICE. IT IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, MEDIA, AND OPPOSING PARTY'S RIGHT…THEIR RIGHT…TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GET CLARIFICATION ON THE EXPERIENCE AND READINESS OF A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
QUIT YOUR WHINING. THIS IS A SERIOUS JOB AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. IF YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY TO BE PRESIDENT THEN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN. AND IF YOU ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD BE THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD JUST ON GP….WAKE UP…THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. YOUR LIFE BECOMES AN OPEN BOOK. THAT INCLUDES THE WIVES, CHILDREN AND FAMILY. IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO HAVE YOUR LIFE BECOME PUBLIC, THEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG RACE. WOW…IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY CANT HANDLE THE PRESIDENCY. THEY ARE NOT READY. THEY BELIEVE SOMEHOW THAT THEY SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. WHO ARE THE ELITISTS NOW? THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. STOP MAKING THIS ELECTION ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL AND STEP UP TO THE PLATE WITH YOUR SKILLS…YOU THINK LEADERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO GIVE A FLIP ABOUT YOUR WHINING?
MCCAIN-PALIN — UNFIT TO EVER LEAD ANYTHING –

What we see and read about McC ticket is really not true…please. I know he's your man but where was he when you needed him and ended up on pain meds??

Fortunately, most women in America are intelligent enough NOT to listen to what those pea-brain women on The View have to say! Nothing more than a Kaffee Klatsch between botoxed, over made-up "girlies." Most of us are out earning a REAL living!

Those ladies on the View are VOTERS! They have a stake in this election just as any other taxpaying person. They did what so many other American women wanted to do. The premise on McCain accepting to be on the show was to attract women. So there you go.

Cindy McCain's transparent play for sympathy is as hollow as her husband's claim that he is putting "country first" in a campaign of the sort he once (in April 2000) had the grace and integrity to denounce as bringing shame on the nation. His campaign ads and speeches — and those of his running mate — continue to rely on discredited lies and distortions. If McCain once had a claim to honor and integrity, the last two years of power lust have put an end to that. Perhaps someday he will remember to be ashamed of his failure to honor our country with reasoned and respectful discourse.

I saw it and even the "right wing nut" Elisabeth asked a harsh question. They are all obviously for Obama -except Elisabeth- at the end Barbra said something like "tell Sarah Palin how nice we are and how the questions are easy." I'm in the middle vote Democratic usually but the treatment he gets shows he'll stand up and be a good president if he does get in. He doesn't have my vote yet, but he has my dad's. My mom is for Obama and I live in a liberal state and town so everyone here seems to be for him, but McCain gets points for the interview in my opinion. No media show Obama would ever go on would do that to him.

Well you have to hand it to Cindy,she is right.Americans are seeing a clear vision of who they would like to see as the leader of the free world.But it sure as heck ain't her husband and Palin.Americans backed up with irrefutable evidence are seeing that the McCain Palin ticket is all about lies.Americans are clearly seeing, when this ticket does not have a script they are amateurs at best.She is right that Americans have a clear vision that John McCain has clearly failed the American public with his speed dating tactics of picking a VP who is very likely to be President if they won.What McCain got on the View is nothing compared to the fraud and outright lies about the Obama Biden campaign.In May 2006 John McCain to David Ignatius of the Washington Post. Mc Cain says " The worst thing I can do is sell my soul to the devil". Not only did he sell his soul to the devil, with the Palin pick and fraudulent statements about her experience, he is trying to sell out America with lies and deceit and yes Cindy, America now has a clear picture of you husband.The picture is in his words and that is he would rather win an election at any cost to his country.

Wow Cindy, how is that substance abuse, adultry thing going for ya? If ya can't stand the heat, get ur servants outta the kitchen!

Wow .. actually interviewers pushing the political hack John and Cindy McCain.. for real answers. OMG! I never thought I'd write this or think it ..
but hell The View is more creditable then the media. I WROTE IT , THOUGHT IT.. AND ASHAMED , YET PLEASED.

We need to grill the government more. I want to see panic and start being responsible.

How long do you plan on keeping up the lies, Cindy?? If you had run a clean campaign like you said you would do, this would not be happening. Do you expect honest people to just step aside as you lie and cheat your way into winning the Presidency? It is about time someone started calling you and your "maverick" husband out on his lies and deceit. Just wait, it has just begun.

ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN 8 YEARS AGO?

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Uh oh, does this mean McCain is going to boycott Larry King Live again?

Obama has been media's favorite. No doubt about that. The more smear or unfairness I see on McCain/Palin by the media, the more confidence I have about my decision to support McCain/Palin. The Demorats and media are scared that McCain/Palin pulled ahead.

Go McCain/Palin!

GO HOME CINDY AND STOP FOLLOWING YOUR HUSBAND MCSAME EVERYWHERE HE GOES! We're not electing EITHER of you!

Seriously? You can't handle *The View*?

It's THE VIEW, people! It's staffed by washed up journalists waiting to be called up for a Michael Jackson tearjerker and people who think the Earth is flat. And you can't handle them?

Then tell your husband to stop LYING. That way, no one — not even that mean-old media — can "pick your bones clean." If you and your dear old husband want to live in the White House, honor us Americans by telling the truth first.

This lady is worthless.

waaaahhh…the mean ol' ladies on the View showed my hubby as the lying hypocrite he is…boo hoo and how dare they ask how many houses I have when I just had my Oxycontin…talk about a buzz buster

Cindy, if you can't handle the heat – stay out of the kitchen… The American people want answers and all we get from the GOP are diversion and avoidance of the real issues…

I briefly considered voted for McCain – I was disenchanted with Obama did not select Hillary as the VP candidate – but when McCain conjured up Palin as the Republican VP pick, I quickly returned to my roots in the Democrat party – and I am now firmly in support of Obama and Biden.

It about time some body start asking Mccain real question about issues affecting American not just pigs and lipstick non sense.
Let people know who you going to fix an economy that your good friend Bush destroyed or how you are going to help them save their homes. Earlier this year, Mccain said point blank that he did not know anything about the economy which is one of the things that the American people is struggling with. How can you tell me that the American people are remotely thinking of even letting this guy run an nation where the economy is one of the defining issues.

isn't Cindy a scary looking woman? almost evil looking.

LOL!! I guess the McCain's are not used to real questions anymore?

I feel sad for Cindy if she thinks her husband in still running the Straight Talk Express.

the hosts on the view and other media are right to ask these questions. In the debates coming McCain and palin will have to answer these same questions about the bridge to nowhere that palin endorsed and now getting credit for helping to kill it and McCain's lobbyists who run his campaign 7 out of 10 of them and say hes against lobbyists and his health care plan which focuses on privatizing the system to promote competition but give the people less power to obtain and maintain health care and increase out of pocket spending on health care in cases of preexisting conditions and taxing healthcare along with salary so people are paying more in taxes and privatizing social security that will hurt poeple looking to retire

but you didn't answer the question, Senator McCain. You never answer the questions posed to you. Why is that?

The Crypt Keeper called….he wants his wig and make-up back. He said you could keep the teeth though.

She's kidding, right?? The women of The View did what others in the media have been afraid to do for the past few weeks. This is not a beauty pageant, this is a race that will decide who will be the next President. Bring on more tough questioning.

"Veterans for Obama"

THE MEDIA!
SEXISM!
AGEISM!

WHA WHA WHA!

All these lies are catching up, Cindy.

Oh yeah, please don't McCain about the facts or any tough questions. Also, how dare you ask him about his houses?! Otherwise, McCain will go tell Cindy and Sarah, you are all gonna be in big trouble!!!!!!!!!

It seems to me that the view was spot on. McCain's ad are not just misleading, they are total lies!!! I am so glad that we in Canada do not (YET)have politicians like McCain that would stoop to such lows. MacCain has lost his honour in an effort to win an election. He will have to deal with his bad choices one day.

Once again, the Republicans can dish it out but can't take it! McCain and his campaign have a serious honesty issue but doesn't like to be questioned about it. He wants his dirty politics to go unchecked! Palin's record is not squeaky clean and the American people should be informed. She should be scrutinized just like everyone else!

Ask The questions

Seek Accountability

Present fairly and openly

If it proves McCain has no plan……and Palin is just the desperate act of a deperate man…..its ok

we CAN handle the truth, some Voters may fear it…….but the silent majority knows the difference.

WAH! WAH! WAH! POOR CINDY!!!! BOOH HOO! HOO! Liars got called to the carpet and didn't like it. TOO BAD. VOTE OBAMA MAMA!

This is from the woman who had the worst speech of a potential First Lady ever. . . Go mix some beer somewhere. They asked the same ole same ole questions. If McCain was EDUCATED he would be able to turn the questions around while still answering them. He reminded me of Tyra Bank's Top Models when they do interviews to rip them apart, but McCain got sent home crying.

Wow shes mad..all because the women on the view asked tough questions like " How is Palin going to reform Washington? Hmm seems like a fair question to me. Guess what America he could come up with no answer! They are doing alot of talking but not saything anything. Whats the message? That they stole the "change" moniker? That McCain picked Palin JUST TO ADD A WOMAN TO THE TICKET? Wake up America, you might be a GOP supporter but even you know in your heart that you party is doing nothing on their own. At least Obama went on the O' Riley factor and stood his ground! McCain cant hadle four liberal women and he wants to be President. WHEN WILL PALIN START DOING SOME INTERVIEWS FOR HERLSELF LIKE THE OTHER THREE CANDIDATES? WHEN? SHE IS NOT READY FOR INTERVIEWS BUT SHE IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT???WAKE UP PEOPLE….ITS TIME!

Earth to Cindy! You were grilled on The View…and offered little respectable answers to any of the panels questions.

Now, just release your tax returns like the other side and we will really see who is out of touch. I bet your richer than some small countries…hence the 7 houses.

They're sexist!
How humiliating to get your butt kicked on The View. But it was appropriate – he even lied to them while they accused him of lying. He said Sarah Palin took no earmarks as governor. Just can't help himself…

If McCain and Palin only spoke the TRUTH there would be no bone cleaning to be done. Their lies are starting to really be viewed by the public for what they are LIES & MORE LIES!!!

I loved the View interview, it's about time McCain was called out face to face on some of the disgusting ads he has been running. Is McCain so out of touch he doesn't know how the American people feel about this? I guess if he got on the internet, or read email he might be enlightened.

an angry millionaire…looks like cindy is trying to save face

The View is not representative of anything other than angry old women. Modern women support McCain / Palin.

The McCain camp set the tone for the whole campaign when they went negative so early. Part of the strategy was to not only attack Obama, but the "media elite."

Were they naive enough to think that when McCain goes on soft news shows like the View he's going to get treated with kid gloves. Cindy McCain is just playing the victim card.

I'm an Independent who usually votes Republican, but I expected the John McCain of 2000 and have been disappointed.

It's sooooo true and anyone who would deny the overwhelmingly liberal bias of The View believes Karl Marx was a bit of a conservative.

Barack Obama needs all the help he can get and he's getting it from the usual places.

But acknowledging that he needed help from ex-prez Bill Clinton had to be humbling for him and his campaign.

The BO camp spotted the downward spiral trend of the polls and knocked on President Clinton's door, cap in hand, looking for some help.

For Barack, that must have felt like swallowing a golf ball – you know, asking for Bill's help. "Puleeeeez, Bill, help me. I'm sinking in the polls. People aren't listening to me anymore. I'm stuck with Biden and John has Palin. Help me Bill. I'm sorry what I said about Hillary – really I am. I shoulda taken her instead. Puleeeez Bill."

I wonder what kind of a deal he had to negotiate with Bill Clinton?

is that why she looks like skelator?

Is this lady for real? We know what we see: Liars.

Barbara WAWA is a Hag and a has-been. The rest of those women are wastes. There are not media. They are a prime example of what has happened to TV. It sucks.

Shut up Cindy, you're a moron…and you're coward husband is going to lose this election!

Since when is being asked to defend your VP picks credentials, clarify why you are putting out false campaign ads, and stating how many homes you really have considered "picking bones clean"? The women of The View did what no other media outlets would do…call him on his crap.

To Dear Cindy,
I think the credibility problem that we as women have with you is on several fronts…one you cheated with a married man and then you have let that man verbally abuse you in front of others and yet you tell us what a wonderful man he is…gag…give me break….why would I take anyone like Cindy McCain seriously….maybe your and your husbands bones need to be picked clean..that is what happens when you put yourself in public view.

Which house will we be staying in this weekend? Give me a break. They should have asked her how the mafia helped them get rid of their competition to be successfully in the alcohol business.

Nicely put, Curtis! How dare The View co-hosts ASK RELEVANT QUESTIONS??? I guess they were being sexist. Cindy McCain makes me nauseous.

ooops….BONE PICKING

I want to begin by stating that this is an opinion, and I could very well be wrong. However, the more and more I hear the Republican party belittle the importance of the media, the more and more I am beginning to wonder whether or not they understand the long-term damage they are creating w/ the population's trust in their media sources. For an example, if people lose their trust in the media, what makes them listen when they're told to leave their homes because a hurricane threatens their area? These comments against the media only feed ignorance – and I think this issue should at least be researched. If the GOP wants to use the media as a symbol of what's wrong w/ this country, then they should be help responsible for the outcome of that decision. It's very scary to think about.

At what point does fact-checking become "cone picking," Mrs. McCain?

dudes, if he can't even handle the gabby girls on the view (one of which didnt even know the world was round until just this year …) hows he supposed to handle the likes of middle eastern, north korean, and russian rulers??

Oh my goodness..did you ever come to Obama's aid when OReily really debated him? You should have known that they would ask questions and questions…they do it with everybody. Your hubby was rude himself.

What are they afraid of???!!!!## This is part of the process of becoming President of the United States! The American People can see through your lies!!! If the Mc Cains can't take " The View " hosts questions, then how can J. Mc Cain run the free world?

This "dodging" questions is the "Bush Doctrine" do we really need 4 more years of this?

People may be seeing "differences" between the two candidates; however, the differences that they see are through the prisms of out and out lies and racism. John "Pinocchio" McCain definitely would not make a better president than Barack Obama. McCain needs to stand on his own two feet and stop using Sarah as his crutch, his security blanket.

For such a time as this, Barack Obama is clearly the more suitable of the two candidates to become the next President of the United States of America. Wake Up America! Arise from you slumber! It is now time to forsake fear and racism! The future of our great nation is at stake. Forsake racism!

Obama/Biden 2008 and 2012

The McCain campaign has been lying in some recent TV ads and now someone has the courage to ask them about it. I am glad Joy asked McCain about the obvious lies. America needs to know what is going on. The View is a good place to be seen by many American women.

I am glad it came to light. I hope America will research what is true and what are lies.

I find it unbelievable that the Mccains are getting away with lies and hypocracy. He did not put his country first when he picked Palin, he went straight for the evangelical right that he needs to win over,and they feel for it hook line and sinker. He continues to lie about her record as a reformer. Her appointment of her close personal friend to head Alaska's Ag. Dept. parallels Bush's appointment of Brownie to head FEMA. Reformer? I think not. He continues to lie about such things as Obama supporting sex education to kindergartners and Palins quote just say no to the bridge to nowhere: She said no to the bridge but yes yes yes to the money. The media needs to stop focusing on lipstick and pigs and do your job: tell us the candidates stance on the issues. People, Democrats or Republicans want change. I pray that all Americans do not vote on single issues, like guns, abortion, and gay rights, what did that get us last time? The stakes are too high.

Many people can't imagine this country being in worst shape economically or internationally but we better start realizing it. McCain/Palin will be different for sure–America the 3rd world country owned by China and punked by Russia and the Middle East. Imagine it and get used to it.

correct me if I'm wrong, but when running for office, do you expect to hide behind closed doors?

If she was Mrs. Obama, people would blow a gasket, writing in multiple complaints. However, we are talking about a Mul;timillionaire by her parent's, who do not kow how many homes she has.

Must be nice, while others struggle to hold on to thiers.

If some people want more of this, more of the same, they must think like mcCain.

America is at a crossroad

For the sake of the free world, we better get it right.

Obama Biden has already won

Soon you will see it comming into manifestation

Be on the right side of history, not the left behind, as America comes together as a light tower for the world, Global Change by the people.

When you don't have to cover anything up, you don't have to worry about your "bones being picked clean".

The View was fair but firm with McCain and called him on his record.
Of course the GOP will not let Palin anywhere near the View. No we must be subjected to a Palin and Sean Hannity love fest. The first thing the View would do would be to present Palin with the Long List of persons whom she has fired in Alaska just because they did not share her radical view points. And the almost as long list of personal friends Palin has hired that are not qualified for their jobs. Like Palins High School Pal she hired as Director of Agriculture whose only listed qualification was a " love of Cows as a child". In my State the Commisioner of Agriculture has a Masters Degree and twenty years of experience in the industry.

LOOK AT HER FACE

Polls going to change next week.

I'll take someone telling the truth than lies anyday.

Issues stil matter folks. So we must go to the bones to get the truth.

Oh my goodness – cry me a river. If her & John don't like it then here is a novel idea – don't lie in your campaign ads and when confronted about lying, then don't lie again.

No, Cindy, you are not pulling ahead!. The projected electoral votes favors Obama. But if you'd like to keep an eye on the polls vs. the electoral college then fine, go right ahead. Whatever makes you feel good. But please know that in the end Barack will have the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the People's House (White House).

Cindy must be back on her meds again because she has lost her ever loving mind.

The ladies from "The View" are the only ones in the media to their jobs and expose John McCain's lies so far, and they' are not even real journalists. Considering McCain has blatantly lied to the American people during this campaign, do you really think he's going to be straight with us in the White House?

Vote for real change! Vote for Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden.

The View did hit McCain pretty hard, but he only came on the show to help improve his image to white women. And everybody knew it, so the View (who is mostly hosted by white women, and has a big white women audience) hit back and tried to make him answer some tough questions. I don't believe they "picked their bones clean", the questions were all legitimate and answerable. And lets ALL face it, the McCain camp is flat out lying! EVEN KARL ROVE, THE BIGGEST LIAR EVER ADMITS IT! Sarah Palin was against the bridge to nowhere, but she was for it before that. THERE ARE TAPES TO PROVE IT!!! And why not just say, i have 8 houses. Why not? I mean Obama is rich too( he doesn't have 8 houses, but still rich) and has more than one house. Come on, just admit you are lying or ATLEAST stop lying. Lets make this election about issues and not personality.

'In spite of what you see (in reality) that's not what people believe!'

Oh, give me a break. People, even those who are on the new Sarah Palin bandwagon, will come to their senses and see the truth soon enough. The McCain campaign is running such a negative campaign with lies and slander that pretty soon, no one can deny it. Even Karl Rove is saying enough! haha

Have you seen what John McCain's republicans have done to the country for the past eight years?

Republican voting for Obama/Biden 08

Cindy is claiming it is unfair. Why?
Because her husband couldn't or didn't answer questions?
Because when confronted with women who are not afraid to try to find the truth about Palin, he didn't know what to do?
Because he was afriad to lash out at his questioners when cameras are rolling, because he would look like the sexist he seems to be? Or is it just because he didn't have Palin there so he could go, "Look, it's a woman."?

They picked your bones clean because that is what happens when things are run the way Republicans run their campaign.

Issues stil matter folks. So to the bones we must go……….

Cindy take vicodin and chill…. the ladies from the View did their job. Unlike the rest of news media.

No Cindy, that is what we are saying and that is what we are believing… at least those of us still capable of independent thought.

I'm surprised she wasn't relieved they didn't ask him about her stealing medicine from poor sick babies! Now that would be picking bones clean! I sure don't want a woman who put herself over sick children as first lady. She could have very well fed her addiction with her money!

Cindy, you are an ugly shrew. Go away.

If only they really did finish the job picking your bones clean maybe you could stop the sleasefest and lies. The McCains have some nerve pulling what they are pulling. McCain was supposed to be above this…

At least Obama / Biden have kept out of the gutter. They have only defended themselves and offered compliments about Palin. You have turned every compliment into a Sexism War Cry. Dont paint Obama with what the Media says. Its not the media's fault either you built this annoucement up so much and since you picked from outside the normal cast the Media has to scurry and find what they can.

Palin needs to stop talking about the bridge to nowhere she makes her self sound like a fool. She fully supported it and specifically because the Rep. were in power and could push it through. Only after the Congress killed it she turns and says thanks but no thanks then keeps the money. She said just the other day even if it went through Alaska has bigger Infrastructure concerns and would have used the money for other projects. Hmmm thats not what the earmark was for… technically shouldnt you need a new request for projects other then the one you asked for? Still Palin kept the money real reform would have gave it back. Then run on a platform of no earmarks… this isnt anything new this is the same old stuff its not going to swing this time.

She knows nothing of foreign policy only what she is told but her handlers and aren't they the same folks we have been on this ride with for the last 8 years? We tried this before with George, take someone who knows nothing about the world outside the borders surround him with "experienced" people. You cant just pick this stuff up you have to know what your talking about or your just following someone else. Thats not a commander in cheif if the brains are outsourced to someone else.

Anyone still reading? Well I've had enough I'm going to open my wallet and send Obama/Biden to the W.H. and dont forget the Congress real change will need fresh faces and a majority. Sorry my fellow Republicans we went to far this time…

Obama/Biden 08 we'll see how you do maybe 12 if your good.

Cry me river, finally someone started asking the real questions and you people cry foul play. McCain/Cindy:"How dare this commoners questions us don't they know that I am filthy rich, you should be grateful that I even allow you to be in the same room as me… Americans should just be like good old sheeps that they are and bend over and take what ever we (republicas) say as the word of God.

Yeah Right Cindy Lou. That's exactly what people think and believe. and it also the reason why mccains 5 pt lead has now shrunk to tied.

The republican party thinks that the US has become it colony and that they are only answerable to God, that is why Palin keeps on talking of the holy war in Iraq, much like the Devine Right of the Kings, they are operating like a monarchy.

Wow, your husband got to explain his VP view and you don't like it.
Poltic is a contact sport. It you can't take it, why are you on the field!Rep got their game going! As A Dem , I must admitted when it comes to election Rep got the emotional excitment thing down.
All you got to do is remind people to vote for someone that look like them and their are off to vote.
1. OB can't be angry because of the angry black man thing.
2. Biden can't attack Palin, "she is a women'
3. Their is more white people than other. Numbers

The only thing left is ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN 8 YEARS AGO! IF YOUR NOT YOU NEED TO THNIK WITH YOU HUOSE, FOOD BILS AND NOT WITH SOMEONE THAT LOOK LIKE YOU!
But Rep are doing the Dam thing/! USA?USA?

The ladies of the view (most of them) acted outrageously. To accuse McCain of spreading lies was outrageous. Obama flat out knew what he was doing when he threw out the "lipstick on a pig" statement. Why else would his campaigne have a statement already prepared saying McCain had once said the same thing? Because Obama knew saying what he said would be related to Palin, he knew there would be a controversy. Obama serving Drama (and then acting sooooo holier than though). Watch out Obama, your horns are showing.

For those still in doubt: please research the issues well, and make sure you do your own research before believing the lies that the McCain/Palin team are spreading: Palin did not oppose the bridge to nowhere (she did so only after supporting it), Palin did not go to Iraq, Palin does not support stem cell research, and the list goes on. It is scary to think that an uneducated, right wing republican with views from the dark ages, could actually become the US president if McCain gets elected and then something happens to him. Do not make the same mistake many made in 2000 and 2004 when they voted for Bush! The stakes are higher now.

OMG! Who actually believes this hogwash?

Hopefully the press will continue to do their job and ask tough questions of all the candidates- one of the great privileges of living in the United States.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 AND 12

Cindy and John are attempting to roll into one giant, cumbersome ball "The Liberal Media" in a transparent attempt to inoculate themselves against criticism. They're doing this because their campaign is built not only on lies but on Rovian whoppers. John McCain is a liar. Rick Davis is a liar. Sarah Palin is a liar. It really is that simple.

Get enough voters to resent the media and they'll disregard all the lies such outlets will expose in the coming weeks. The question is this: Are we stupid enough to fall for it?

Finally…It takes an old school journalist, Barbara Walters to do what most journalist today will not do. Demand and answer and the truth from candidates!!! Even young dumb dumb co-host what's her name had to ask a question…not to hard mind you to suck-up to her boss Barbara…it was funny to watch McCain squirm as he tried to dodge answering obvious question on the his campaign's veracity and his risky pandering campaign gimmick Palin. By the way Hillary I am still waiting for you to do "all you can do to help Obama. That means going after McCain and Palin with the same vigor you went after Obama….Hello?…
I still only hear crickets…and the aged wine named Cindy…Lastly, Here's a line Obama can use…Change and reform from a party that hires the fox to protect and guard the hen house…yeah right!

She wanted to be queen-boy is she pissed!! Look at that face

The bones from the skeletons in McCain's and Palin's closet. Get over it.

And that's what they suppose to do! This is not suppose to be a picnic,Ms. Cindy! The American people rely on the media to help give them a clearer picture of our country's future leaders. If you and your husband stop telling so many lies, you won't be so sensitive. The media so expose all hyprocrites! The View rocks! and still awaits Sarah!

I saw the View and I thought the girls did a bang-up job. It all really started when Barbara asked McCain why he would approve some of the lies their ads are saying like the one about Obama wanting to give kindergartners sex education… gimme a break folks. I hope everyones not going to vote for the biggest liar, like they did in the last two elections. Please, we really need a break in old politics as usual!!

Cindy, you are correct. The people can see the difference between McCain and Obama. People can see that McCain is a lying snake along with Palin who have nothing to offer in terms of plans to move the country forward, but negativity. People want a plan to address our issues not cynisim and negativity.

So she's calling the women on the View are vultures ? With or without lipstick ??? ………….. give me a break.

I was apalled at the treatment of the McCain's by The View. This is partisanship at its worst. Their behavior and outright disrespect for the officials of our government is what is bringing this government down. Its fine to question, its fine to challenge, its fine to debate, but not with this kind of downright hostility, disrespect, and derision. This doesn't teach our children to respect our government. We are tearing ourselves and our country down from within. And we need to stop.

yeah right-Obama should be unfairly scrutinized and bashed while John mccain and his vp choice is untouched-right cyndy?? u can claim anything u want but your husband is not gonna win this election. not when the Americans are so involved this time around-you and the GOP lies are not going to work this time around.

The people on the view did the job of journalists.

Boy, she looks like a witch. The women of "The View" are better than MSM. That's what MSM should be doing to all the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. Is she mad because her husband admitted that his ads were riddled with lies?

You got called out due to the lies of John Insane Mclame. Saying he believes the 2 recent attack ads are real and the Lipsticked one does not take earmarks. Come on he lies just like bush of the last 8 yrs.

That is exactly what the American people are seeing and thinking. No one picked there bones clean. He was asked to explain a view that most people recognize as a smoke screen.

The only people who buy the lies are those that are too scared there lives will change to see the truth. They will be the first ones to complain about the fallout of four more years of the republicans.

What an ugly women.

We want our politicians to be held accountable for the smear ads they place on our TV screens! Kudos to The View for asking the questions that we've been wanting to ask but have no opportunity to do so!!!! Let's talk about the failing economy, world view of our country and how to improve that, pulling out of Iraq, and so on. You talk and talk, but there is NO SUBSTANCE!

stop whining.

I was appalled that Whoopi asked about slavery. She not only showed who she supported but she showed her ignorance of politics and government.

As most intelligent people know, the President of the United States could not re-instate slavery even if he wanted. And to ask such a question, implying that McCain's pro life stance somehow makes him pro-slavery, was completely inappropriate.

If anyone on "The View" thought McCain's constitutional stance on abortion rights implied that Constitutional amendments should not be honored, they could have asked about women's voting rights. It would have been a much more appropriate way to voice their objections, and a more lively, and appropriate, discussion on "The View".

Or better yet, discuss the 22nd amendment – term limits for Presidents -and discuss whether Bill Clinton would beat Obama and McCain if he could run.

Whoopi's behavior was divisive a will set back race relations in this country by decades. Obama propogates and encourages this behavior.

I am a Democrat and I will vote for McCain in part because of this very behavior.

Boo hoo. McCain got asked the tough questions that the public is asking. It's about time that someone asked him about the distortions and lies in his ads, and it's about time someone didn't let him off the hook when he didn't answer the question. THANK YOU, THE VIEW. I wish that more interviewers weren't such pushovers and demanded that politicians answer the questions that are asked, rather than let them avoid the question like they do more than half the time.

In spite of what Cindy "Barbie Doll" says, this IS what the public is talking about. We are TIRED of these ads distorting the truth and taking sound bites out of context. You're just trying to make a smoke screen that hides the facts and issues. The truth is that McCain/Palin will be no different from the current administration on the economy, health care, energy, housing, national security, gas/oil prices, etc.

And by the way, Palin IS NOT the most qualified person in the United States on energy. She may know quite a bit about oil, but there needs to be more to our evergy policy (wind, solar, natural gas) than oil.

PLEASE STOP THE LIES! IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM THE LAST EIGHT YEARS?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Well, Cindy the pillionaire, whoops, I mean millionaire is mad because someone who asked her husband tough questions? Boo hoo! I realize that due to your extensive botox, it's difficult to judge your emotions but seriously, Cindy Lou, if your big strong flyboy can't take tough questions from a daytime talk show, remind us again why he's a viable candidate?

The "View" did the job of what the Main Stream Media will not do. They ask questions that a lot of people are wanting to ask. They did nothing wrong, I just wished they had of lor McCain explain, Why his ads are not lies????? I would have loved to hear that from him.

Is there no limit to self-indulgence? Can we sensationalize this drama any more?

huh? What questions were unwarranted? Who's going to pull ahead once the truth about your recently sleazy hubby is exposed.

If The View is a tough interview then maybe you need to rethink this whole president thing lol.

UGH !!!!

Ever thought it might be because of your actions of 100% negative campaign?

McCain's campaign made a mistake but is not ready to face the consequences. To me this sounds exactly like Bush… not willing to accept the mistake.

Every thing has a limit.. in this case… 8 is Enough!

OMG I just Googled "lies"> This is what came up at top:

I am not a McCain supporter but they could have used a nicer picture of his wife.

She needs to shut up!!!! No one has a problem with it when they "pick obama apart on every lie Mccain and his sleezy campaign tell about him" So I dont want to hear the whinning, when they get asked some hard questions, or someone disagrees with them on something. Get a life, did these morons actually think no one was gointg to ever call them out on anything….OH YEAH THEY DID.

Barbie doesn't like tough questions!

Legitimate complaint ! The media is in the tank for the democrats and they don't even try to hide it ! We have a big problem in America with the liberal media !!!

The View called your husband out on his lies. Period.

WOW…Picked bone cleans….The View made them LOOK A FOOL. Other new shows, need to take tips on how to interview candiates…They did a darn good job…

Yes, that's because you can't answer tough questions.

Currently the polls seemed tied…. I would gather if your husband John McCain and his VP choice Sarah Palin were not lying to the american people who vote, then you wouldn't have been questioned about it.. You deserve no sympathy from me as when you lie you accept the consequences of those lies.. God doesnt like liars as its one of those ten commandments. Your husband is blaming Obama for not doing town halls with him for the negative campaign he claimed wouldn't be a part of. Obama doesnt have to campaign on McCains terms period… That is childish and even worse from a 72 yr old man.

Cindy McCain is absolutely right!

The media is furious, because they are not able to destroy the
McCain campaign and his brilliant choice for VP.

We, the American people, are onto them, and the more they try
to disparrage Sarah Palin the more we swarm to her side to
support her.

Once again, the Democrats has snatched defeat out of the
jaws of victory!

And we have met the woman who is eventually going to become
the first female President of the United States.

And it's NOT Hillary Clinton!

Life is hard when people actually want answers… whaa whaa

It's called political campaigning. Has the GOP forgotten how it's done or something? The slightest questioning is called an 'attack'. It's not an attack, it's politics. Happens every four years. If they can't take it, they shouldn't be in the race.

Oh poor McCain and Family. I have seen you all for who you are and am grateful that people like the women of the view finally went for the meat.
Agent of Change yeah whatever..

That's one scary photo. Could it be she's not clean and serene any longer?

Cindy McCain went on The View with her MILLION DOLLAR outfit and thought she was too CUTE to be asked question that the MAJOR media WILL NOT ask her or her husband and his VP pick………..WHAT a shame, the question asked on The View should have been asked MONTHS ago by the MEDIA reporters and again when Palin was selected by McCain.

This must be the same thing that McCain FIRST wife said about CINDY LOU?

Obama/Biden 08

Unfortunitly Mr and Mrs McCain that’s EXACTLY how Americans feel about your campaign. They asked the exactly question millions of Americans have in mind. A the medium have been bias and McCain campaign has been running false campaign. Obama NEVER said he was sex education for kindergarten students!

oh for heaven's sake. The ladies on the View did not bring up her husband's adultery, his abandonment of his first wife, Mrs. McCain's drug addiction and theft from a charity, her lies about the circumstances of her daughter's adoption. They did what they should have done–refuse to accept bogus explanations and half-truths.

So the media doing its job is "picking your bones clean" Cindy?

it was the VIEW..come on

Imagine blaming the very press that keeps their lies covered up as much as humanly possible. Then a small group of women diced and sliced the poor old geezer and now they are the culprits.

The GOP mantra is and has always been tell a lie and have everyone swear to it as long as possible then when the truth comes out blame the people who confronted their lies.

What, you feelin exposed Cindy? You SHOULD.

Obama/Biden 08

That's EXACTLY what we are saying and what we are believing.

Cindy wasn't exactly "nice"herself….. all she had to do was smile sweetly and say "7″ or "8″ or whatever the heck number of houses is…..but she had to run off at the mouth with a snide comment…..and at one point McShame looked and sounded like his "temper" just might get the best of him…..and he STILL didn't answer the question….. yeah, yeah, I know, you won't print this….

cindy if you and your husband run a dirty campaign full of lies don't be surprised if americans ostracize you. You get what you deserve via your actions.

It's about time someone calls McCain on all the lies he has been saying and the little wife can't take it. To bad. The sad thing is the news reporters are the ones that should be checking into what is being said by both sides, not the fluff.

Put on your big girl pants and shuck it up…
