Whoopi: "Part Of Me Wants Mccain To Win"

During a discussion about the never-ending primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, View hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar offered an interesting solution: let McCain - a recent View guest - win so he can clean up the mess made by George Bush! Whoopi dropped the first bomb when she said, "Part of me wants McCain to win, because this is, in my mind, this is really a Republican mess. If he says he can clean it up, I want him to."

Joy piped in as the conversation continued, "I agree with your points. That would be great if a Republican won, in a way. Because we can't lose that way. Let them clean up their own mess. They broke it, let them fix it. It could be that they could do much more damage than we could ever have dreamed of."

Please, don't let McCain win. All we would get is less jobs more war.

[paixa3]

Which part? Perhaps lower taxes for the rich?

[Truthmeter]

Regardless of who you vote for..it's going to be more of the same. They are POLITICIANS who care about themselves.

What happened in the last election? Dems won...no changes. What changes do you think will occur?
If you recall, Pelosi promised more transparency when it came to earmarked spending...what did she do? She wanted to change the name to "discretionary spending"...is that change? They still pissed away our money like gangbusters.

Obama- unknown creation of the anti-Clinton democrats...he's going to owe alot of people jobs and favors...too inexperienced.

Hillary Clinton...liar, cheater, self-centered, money grabbing power hungry. Rendell will get a big job.

McCain...same, same same, same

That's Presidential politics, where it counts, although unsexy is at the state levels.

[iheardthisbefore]

My question is: Just exactly WHAT PART of her WANTS McMoreofthesame to win?
Her Ass?
Her feet?
Her kneecaps?
Her lungs?

CAN'T BE HER BRAIN,'CAUSE IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN,
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UTTER THAT PHRASE.

What in the world is in the water these folks are drinking?
I know McDummy drank the Bush koolaid , but the women of the View?
I can understand that view from the Young Republicans Poster Girl, BUT.........

[dana94591]

Ditto! I think Whoop has lost her mind. Too much Elizabeth, I guess!!

[rtnd22]

If anyone could find the clip...Rush made this same statement when John mcCain won the nomination he didnt care for McCain and he stated that it will be such a mess that a Dem should win this year so they can then be blamed

[Centaur]

C'mon guys! Give the "Whoopster" and Joy a break. They didn't actually say they would vote for McCain. All they were saying was that the "repukes" created these disasters and they should be the ones to deal with it, However, I do agree that if McCain was put into the white house, he would not solve the problems and would probably make things worse than they are.

[samguy]

Good idea if ti wasn't for the thought of McCain being able to replace Supreme Court Justices!

[Star2000dancer]

Swell! This type of stupid thinking is how we got stuck with the Bushes to begin with. It's not a theory, but a fact that they are sucking blood, money & hope out of American people. And once you get down there is no way to get back up. We are born in debt & will lose everything we own before we die unless we make as much money as you. There is a plan to destroy middle America, put them in poverty,give them poor healthcare & watch "em die like flies. Especially the baby boomers. There is a goal for a few "elite" to control the world. They see a disaster as a way to "make way for profit" Dennis Kucinich & Ron Paul were telling it like it is. Are you so far out of touch with this now? I'd like McCain as a friend, but I'd like to see the Republican party completely destroyed & a new "real" party for the people built.

I want: A receipt for every time I vote & everyone I voted for.
A cap put on spending for all campaogns.
Election days off & polls open until everyone who wants to vote is able to vote.
A cap on the amount of commercial candidates are allowed to air.
Media channels not controlled by the government & big corporations.
No polls, they're not accurate anyway.
My government "BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE & OF THE PEOPLE".

[PrdAmerican]

So what, allow McCain in so he can destroy the Supreme Court once and for all? To me this election is about preserving the supreme court....allow the republicans to stack it and it's over for this nation.

[fnygy]

Not necessarily. There's nothing in the constitution that says we can't add more justices. FDR tried to add justices in the 30's to force through some of his New Deal initiatives. He overreached. That is not to say it couldn't be done, though. In fact, Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine comes to mind. It could just as easily work in a progressive direction, no? Perhaps the bottom dropping out is exactly what we need for any real, meaningful change in this country. It did take the Great Depression for the New Deal to happen, after all. I'm certainly not advocating for it - I'm just saying that roses do grow in dung heaps.

[RedWilma]

As if McCain could accomplish something positive! Ha!

[Tulka2]

Oh boy. What a bubble these women live in, eh? Look, voting is not only a right, it is a responsibility. We live in a country that sends storm troopers to other countries and innocents die. Iraqis can not vote. We must vote in their best interests as well as our own... considering the men with guns are our own. You vote because they can not.
I pray for the day when my vote will only concern my own people in my own country. George Washington said the greatest threat to this Republic would be the day we immersed ourseves in foreign wars. These two women show a profound empathy disconect. They must be a nice pair of well kept poodles.

[truthynesslover]

I absolutly agree with whoopi in that the republican created this mess they should clean it up .And whoever is elected is going to be blamed for the economic crisis,world food shortage and the loss of the wars in afganistan and iraq.The only good thing about a Mccain win would be all those republican children will be needed for the draft.

[VictoryGin]

I hop McCain to win so that the public dose not go back to sleep.
We are living in peril times and none of these candidates are going to help.
We need to impeach the entire government, if Obama wins, look out, people will go back to sleep for at least 2 years thinking they took a major victory, in that time we will not have any changes for the better, only for the corporate interest groups, like KBR, Exxon and Black Water.
If McCain wins, people will be even more furious and motivated to stand up to the facist regime, and demand our rights back.

The hundred year war is not about Iraq, it is a war on the American people.
And it is happening all around you,

Failing dollar
Food rationing
Police Taseing
FEMA Camps
Wire Taping
Extaordinary Rendition
RFID trackin
GMO food
Chemical Spraying over cities
And the list goes on, you name it they are doing it

[politicky]

I've had the same thought, and in fact I may have even said that at times. It IS a Republican mess. How often do the Republicans even admit that they made a mess? Let alone clean up after themselves.

[catchdis]

who are these women?

[StillIRise]

Both Whoopi and Joy supported Senator Clinton, and have only recently began making remarks favorable to Senator Obama, usually in defense of something silly Elizabeth said, but they have been lukewarm toward Obama at the most. It wouldn't surprise me if Whoopi does in fact support McCain, but I think Joy is a much more loyal Democrat and will support the Democratic nominee, whoever it is.

Still I Rise

[spokensoftly]

Whoopi, you support your candidate of choice. This is our US of A. But McCain think things are fine and the only change Hillary makes is dictated by the political current of the time.

Obama was the first to see a need for change. Now, the others are adopting his slogans and as if it"s their own. Obama is setting the pace, the other are following. Now who"s the leader?
