I don't watch The View very often since I am a working mother. I completely stopped watching it when Rosie was on there. I do get to see recaps some when I go on line to get updates. I feel like that Elisabeth is dismissed by the other hosts on the show just because of her beliefs. We all have our opinions and we know how those are. First of all I am a democrat and I am not happy with the way the american people have just embraced Obama just because he talks a good game. Yes, he has been in Washington but has not stayed in Washington long enough to effectively accomplish anything. He 's been campaigning for almost two years and has only been in the Senate for three to four. How can he promote change when he has done nothing to effect change? I hope everyone realizes that the tax increases on the people and corporate America that makes $250,000 or more is going to hurt more than it will help. I work for a small business we employee approximately 120 full time employess. If the company I

i do not watch the view. i could care less about those people. what i do care about is our choice of canidates for president. OBAMA is the one i am voting for. everyone says that he doesn't have the experience, neither did john kennedy. it never hurts to have new blood in the white house. One clown is enough, with McCain that would make 2. i have listened to all the debates, weighed all the information. palin should go back to alaska and continue her day job there. i have nothing against women running for office, iwas going to vote for hillary, but obama and his wife both bring fresh air to this race. McCain is way to stiff and he sneers alot at people if he doesn't like their answers. i am so tired of hearing that is was a POW, so are a lot of others, but you don't hear them going around telling everyone that will listen. My father was in WWII and KOrea, he was wounded, but he didn't dwell on the fact, he just figured he had done is duty to his country and then it was done.

I don't usually watch "The View" and now I know why. This is just another attempt from the Main Stream Media to propagate its own will onto the American Public. They will not simply discuss the topics respectfully but instead enter into an all out verbal battle where the "liberals"/"Obama Lovers" have been given the numbers to put down any other views. They have the biggest mouths and the least respect for any other view and will not allow it to be voiced because it just might make sense and expose Obama for who he really is.
Wake up America McCain/Palin might not be the greatest choice but it far exceeds the alternative.

Thank god there is at least one intelligent woman on the View. I applaud Elizabeth for speaking her mind, unfortunately she is surrounded by ignorant, one sided lefties and she can't get a word in edge wise. I really hope the American people take a look at the actual FACTS and not get duped by Obama's eloquence. Bottom line he does not have a proven track record of getting anything done in Washington. He’s just a bunch of fluff.

Hooray for Elizabeth! I would like to see the other panelist give her the respect that she gives them and not interrupt every time she tries to speak! This show is so very biasted toward the Democrats. The way she is treated on this show is deplorable.

KUODOS TO ELIZABETH HASSELBECK - I,too wish there would be
another Republican on the show - she represents all the
republican women in the states - I admire her stamina for
what she believes is right (and I agree with her more than
I do the other 4)Just stand tall for what you believe, Elizabeth, and don't let others walk on you - you are smart,very well educated, and I think you are definitely going places in this world...

I think Elizabeth does a pretty fair job at defending herself AND her choices. Obama has everyone mistified/hypnotized. He comes up with answers that don't make sense half of the time, but it doesn't matter for those Obama fans. They don't hear anything that is negative, nothing at all. I think the American people should know about his 'friends', his affiliations etc. Doesn't matter though does it? Obama people do not hear the negative.
I don't believe that either candidate belongs in the white house, BUT I do believe McCain has more experience to take on the powerhouses in washington and Palin, she doesn't have a lot of experience is still a better pick because she doesn't like "the good ole boy system" and we NEED someone to take washington on. Obviously, I vote for McCain this time. I believe that is Obama becomes president, our economy is going to get worse instead of better and I DO believe that his connections are dishonest. I don't trust him with national security, BUT

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a complete joke just like Sarah Palin is. She watches Fox News the night before and then tries bring up what that news station says as legitimate facts. She is the most uninformed, unintelligent person that has ever been on that show and does not represent her side (the conservatives) in a rational way. At least Whoopi and Joy defend their liberal views with evidence and will sometimes concede that the other side may have a point on a particular issue. Hasselbeck never says anything good about the Democrats (even when they are right on an issue) which shows her immaturity.

How does this make Hasselbeck look like an idiot? Like most shows stacked with a liberal agenda, they ask her a question and then talk over her when they don't like her answers. And she's the only conservative on the darn show! It must be a little tiring for her to always have to explain herself while the say "Go Obama" and get cheers from the peanut gallery. Give me a break. Talk about playing to the audience in NY, where practically all the electorate are Democrats. And then Barbara asking Elisabeth to concede a point at the end? As if her opinion is wrong because she disagrees with the panel. Ridiculous. This is why the show loses ratings. How about a little BALANCE. Get a few independants up there, a hippie earth-lover...if EH leaves they should try to make it more interesting and not one-sided.

OMG I love that Post Turtle thing. I totally agree. As a woman I am pleased to see women excel in any career. But I think Palin is the wrong woman to be running with John. I am tired of other women defending her when she is wrong. Just because she is a woman does not excuse her lack of knowledge. Her experience or lack of is not the problem. It is that she does not know what she is talking about. Her double talk and sound bits can not cover this fact up. McCain make a mistake in his choice.. He knows it. I wonder why he did it, and who pressured him. Her folksy manner does not endear her to me at all. She answered few questions during the debate. She talked and talked and few or her statements made sense. John.. You did yourself in.

She is a bimbo, and we do not need to be exposed to the "Views" of an unintelligent, empty headed young girl who mispresents the best that 20 somethings are capable of in this country. Goodbye Hasselbeck ~

Do you people have cloth ears???? She gave at least three very good reasons why she thought Sarah Palin would make a good president. While you think they might not be good reasons please don't lie and say she did not answer the question! Are you mentally challenged or deaf? Did you not hear her response?

Elizabeth is as dumb as Palin herself!!!
This bitch couldn't even answer Barbara's question about how Palin could make a good president....She tried to deflect the question by saying, "what about Barack?" She sounds just like Palin when Katie Couric asked her "what newspaper do you read?"
I like E-Hass, I think she's hot but intellectually she brings nothing to the table. Republicans can do no wrong....not even dumb ass Palin.
As far as the debate.....all Joe Biden has to say is "Hi my name is Joe Biden, thank you good night!" and Palin will hang herself!

Elisabeth, just like Palin, is a post turtle. What is a post turtle?
Don't know if this is true, but it's a great analogy nevertheless.
POST TURTLE
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher who caught his hand in a gate while working with cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.
"You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up th

Finally, Elisabeth is shown as the idiot that we all know that she is. She should leave the show and allow "The View" to hire someone who can offer a more intelligent viewpoint for the 25-35 age group.

I believe Palin has the potential to prove herself capable of handling the job of President of the United States. Hasselback, however, has absolutely no idea what she's talking about half the time when referring to politics. So I suggest that the best way for her to defend Palin, would really be to say nothing at all.
