    Elisabeth is just grasping at straws. Any questions directed to her, like her candidate, she can’t answer them directly. EH is in her own world and sadly is out of touch with middle class values. While I will give EH her props for defending her values, I give bigger props to Whoppi, Joy, Sherrie, and Barbara for at least giving something positive about the RNC…and for finally cutting of Elisabeth like she’s done in the past……EH truly does need to leave “The View” because she only just has one view!!!! It’s not reflective of the panel as a whole…..

    It’s not that I think she will leave. I hope she leaves! She is very stubborn, opinionated and closed minded. She is constantly starting fights. No one wants to watch that. My favorite part about the show is hot topics and she seems to have an argument during every hot topic.

    I’m so very tired of Elisabeth and not because she’s a far right Republican. No, it’s more because she’s so young, lacks any sort of wisdom, and continually spews out the same things lately. Her defensiveness only serves to emphasize the McCain/Palin ticket’s negatives.

    When one is confident, secure and feels in their heart AND mind that they are making the right choice they do not beat the same drum over and over and over in such a defensive manner. I feel she is trying not to convince others as much as she is trying to convince herself. That alone tell me she’s the wrong person to sit in that chair on The View. I’d love to see someone with the same right-wing Republican views in her place to keep some balance but please, someone with some wisdom and intelligence.

    I strongly feel the Elisabeth Hasselbeck should leave the View. I think she is bring the show down. If you are not for McCain she will say rude thing about you . Like Elisabeth told Joy to have some kool aid and held her mug up. It stupid comment like that I hate. I all so feel very strongly about Elisabeth is a RACIST. She hate black people exspecially Barack Obama. The stuff Elisabeth say make my stomach turn. I honestly think Elisabeth HAVE LOST HER MIND COMPLETELY!!!!!!! Elisabeth quotes she say on the View is stupid and don’t make sense. When Elisabeth talk she don’t just say what Barack Obama have said she will add her opinion to the quote and say Barack Obama said that too. That not what Barack Obama is said or was thinking. Elisabeth is trying to make Barack Obama look bad so america will vote for evil John McCain. Elisabeth will even LIE on Barack Obama and say Barack said it. Everytime she open her mouth it just make me hate her more. Elisabeth is SATAN and a LIER.Elisabeth should do the world a favor and leave the View. She making her self look bad when she open her mouth.

    I am an open-minded and patent person who likes to give each person time and respect to say what they believe. However, I am sick of EH now because she always has something mean and negative to say. She talks like she’s been brain-washed by the GOP. Everyone thought it was Rosie who caused the rift last year and Rosie left the View because of it..but now we are seeing that EH is the problem. Its one thing to disagree but lately she has become outright rude and nasty to Joy and anyone who disagrees with her biased right-wing views. Goodbye EH!!

    The problem with EH is so much more than her being a right-wing Republican. She does appear to have been brainwashed somehow by the GOP and has no idea how to listen and accept others point of view — especially as they relate to anything Democratic! it seems like anytime anyone says Barack Obama’s name she seems visably uncomfortable. Why??? None of the others on the show behave that way. Granted, they all seem to be for Obama so she is outnumbered, but there is a way to come across as strong and articulate. She comes across as a weak, scared little girl. She needs to just leave the show and focus on being a good mom. Her husband’s got money – she’ll be fine.

    We watch the view in Canada…

    EH is annoying, negative, norrow minded and very borderline racist. Her voice, and presence is annoying to no end. Futhermore, her more recent rants and biased comments and opinions are a constant attack on anyone, everyone and anything that has an opinion that differs from her own… It very annoying to see someone being so defensive… to the point where she seems to be on the verge of tears!! She mirrors the nasty campaign tactics practiced by the Republicans… I think she needs a HUGE time out!

    I see The View in an entirely different way. Every time I watch it I feel the four liberals on the show are ganging up on Elisabeth and bullying her with their views. I think the show should add another conservative to even it out. Half the states in this country are red and half are blue so there are many people out there that have the same mindset as Elisabeth. Like it or not she does represent the views of many of us. This show constantly gives the Obamas a pass but when the McCains were on the show, they treated them disrepectfully, especially Joy. I like Elisabeth and think she is a brave, intelligent person to go on every day and defend her postion. The show has not treated her fairly, especially Barbara Walters!

  9. On October 23rd 2008, Barbara wrote:

    I think Elisabeth is annoying and I am sick of listening to her whine. She is entitled to her opinion, but she needs to respect other people’s opinion and not try to jam her opinion down everyone’s throat. I find myself turning the channel when she starts spewing. GET HER OFF THE SHOW. Come back when you grow up and are able to have a civil debate!!!!

  10. On October 23rd 2008, Sandy wrote:

    If EH leaves, so do I. I appreciate her view although more often than not… you can’t hear her view because she is overshadowed by the loud mouth Joy. She is entitled to her opinion just like everyone else is but unfortunately she is generally stomped on and her opinion is put down by her co-hosts. I wish all the ladies would listen to her (whether they agree or not) instead of drowning her out!

    I’m with you KC! How can they can call it The View when the only Republican in the group is belittled and yelled at every time she tries to make a point. Barbara is one of the worst. It’s ok for Joy to spew her venom on the Republican party, but if Elizabeth tries to make a point Barbara tells her she doesn’t really need to comment on everything. Really? Give me a break. I now turn the channel whenever they start talking politics because it is so ridiculous. I really think they need to even out the playing field.

  12. On October 23rd 2008, Sandy N wrote:

    NO! I don’t think Elisabeth should leave the view. Why? So they can replace her with another left wing democrat? Her view is refreshing and I admire her for standing her ground when the whole panel AND audience disagree with her. Joy needs to GROW UP and realize that just because someone doesn’t share her ideas doesn’t mean that person is wrong. She is disrespectful and mean. Hang in there Elisabeth and stay strong. Thank you for standing up for those of us with values and morals amidst such constant bombardment.

    Although I am a democrat and might disagree with some of elisabeths views. Iadmire her for the passion,strength and courage it must take to be the only. Republican in an obvious democrat environment like the view. Too bad I can’t say the same for JOY …she has become so annoyingm

    If Joy is allowed to voice her opinion, why should Elisabeth not be? This morning, Aol is running the story of the “backstage battle”. They include a poll asking, “is it time for Elisabeth to leave the view?” Perhaps AOL should’ve included Joy in their poll. I get sooooo frustrated with the view, but I continue to watch (duh!!!) I believe Elisabeth does a good job representing a conservative view in the midst of a majority of liberals. She is obviously outnumbered. I Miss Whoopie when she’s not there…she keeps it balanced and sane!!! If you get rid of Elisabeth, get rid of Joy too!!! She’s just down right mean & nasty!!!

    Obviously, Elisabeth is entitled to her opinion – which just so happens to be the extreme opposite of the other Co-hosts (and mine). I understand Joy’s frustation towards Elisabeth because some of the things she says/believes are just ridiculous. I, too, miss Whoopie when she’s not there. She has a way to keep everything in check. If Elisabeth is tired of being the minority – then maybe she should leave for Fox where her believes/opinion will appease their audience.

    Leave Elisabeth Alone! It’s called “the View” for a reason, just because her view isn’t the majority does not mean that shed should be gotten rid of. I think she adds spice to the show and earns her seat on the show. It’s a great mixture and once the Election is over, Elisbath and Joy will find something else to disagree about…sounds like that could be what they were hired for..to creat controversy and get the viewers thinking….duh!!!

    Elisabeth, please stay! I give her credit for hanging in there each day while the others gang up on her. It is Joy who should leave. She was once funny and I enjoyed watching her. In the last year or so, she has gotten ugly. Her mouth and her references have gotten foul. Thank God for Whoopie – she keeps things from getting out of hand

    i do not agree with elisabeth’s politics ,but i do give her kudos for speaking her mind when she is obviously going against what the other panelists believe. she defintely makes the show interesting and i think it would be a shame if she left. wasnt the premise of the show to be different opinions of women of different ages

    I can’t stand Joy and Barbara. Everyone attacks Elisabth and Im sick of it. Their needs to be another republican on the show besides Elisabeth. I love Elisabeth and I agree with everything she says. Everyone on the view loves Obama and never have anything nice to say about Mccain. And when Elisabeth stands up for Palin they attack her. I can’t stand Barbara and Joy, if I was on the show I would be attacking what they say. They always think they are right.

    I agree Jenifer. Something has happened to Joy during the past year. She wasn’t always so mean spirited and closed minded. The focus always seems to be on EH and her conservative views (which I share) but little is said about Joy’s arrogant, self serving ramblings. Frankly, I think Barbara is past her prime and needs to step down. For years Barbara claimed that she never revealed her political views so as to protect her credibility as a “journalist”. Who does she think she’s fooling now? Her views are clearly as liberal as the other co-hosts.

    Oh Elisabeth you are such a MORON,I think you just stick by your view just for the heck of it regardless of wether you believe in it or not.I think you just go along with your idiotic comments and arguments because you seem to enjoy the contoversy and publicity it creats and in your delusional head you think you come across as inteligent. You come across as a possessed mindless person with not an ounce of common sense .Don’t get me wrong,every body has the right to his or hers own oppinion and conviction but to see every thing either black or white is ignorant and quite dangerous.In your opinion you are always right,people who don’t agree with you are always wrong.Can you really not see the damage the bush administration has done to your country? Do you really want some more of this?It is time for a change.Time to grow up girl

    I have watched The View from its inception and I have always loved the concept of 4 woman/different ages and backgrounds voicing their opinions.

    What makes an intelligent conversation is listening to what the other person has to say and appreciating thier view point. Does the discussion get heated with EH and perhaps Joy or someone else, yes it does. Makes good TV… but here’s the thing, EH is very closed minded for such a young person. She really needs to voice her opinion in a more thought out manner. Beating a subject that has been discussed about Barack Obama over and over again, with no new points of reference is frustrating… Its as if she always has to disagree to be heard. That’s not the way to go. What makes me mad is that EH gets away with things b/c she thinks she can. Oh, yes viewers don’t forget Bill Gedde (Executive Producer) is a bonified Republican. Why do you think EH can say what she does. I wouldn’t be surprise is half the staff there agree with her 100%.

    Just my opinion……

She is a nobody that gets too much attention for having done absolutely nothing.Yet she seems to think that her opinion counts. Why???She is nice looking in a steppford sort of way but she has nothing else to offer.She is iritating,loud and has a stupid voice.Hey people,I have a lot to say too,can I PLEASE come on tv and tell you all my oh so importened opinions???By the way,I am also blond and have blue eyes,does that count in my favour?

    If anyone should leave, it’s Joy. She is a cynical, mean spirited, and spiteful person. I have never seen anyone as disrespectful as her on t.v. Her sneering and disapproving looks at anyone that doesn’t agree with her are way overboard. I believe this show would be better served with Joy off and one more republican on so we can watch an even-sided debate. I give a lot of credit to Elizabeth, I certainly couldn’t spend everyday with someone like Joy.

    Hey

    All viewers of the TV show the View! I would like to start a petition to get Elizabeth Hasselbeck off of the show. She is a hinderence to this great show I’am a big fan but, I find it very difficult to watch anymore because of her constant attitude, fighting, and know it all personality. If she remains on the show I will no longer watch!! I hope that this will help to get her removed from the show, as it has been rumored that it has been a consideration anyway.. I do fear that the ratings for this show will go down if she remains!!!!

    I cannot stand Joy Behar, she is a pain in the ass dago- I am Italian-she is a dago. No class, and a detriment to the show, her flailing hands, with only negativaty coming out of her mouth is such a turn off, Yes I turn the show off, and so do many of my friends and relatives, She is an embarrassment. Get her off the show, I’ve heard from her big mouth, that she has gotten better offers. Off you go girl!!!

    I don’t think Elisabeth gets her point across well, kind of like a stubborn child demanding attention. However, I CANNOT STAND JOY!!! She is so rude. She just likes to hear herself speak…and more times than not she says nothing. Cynthia I cannot agree with you more, I have turned off the View more times in the last few months because of Joy’s obnixousness than any other reason. As far as I’m concerned keep Sherry and start over with a new group. And Joy…shut your trap for once!!

    I have watched this show a handful of times – and it is the most moronic, shallow, shrill, senseless, bilious, ridiculous piece of morning garbage I have seen – this group of self-important women, who think their opinions REALLY matter to the world. Get a grip ladies (sharks) – NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT YOU ALL THINK!!!! You people are delusional about your stations in life. Most women I know could give a rat’s you know what about your stupid show.
