Sep 10 2008Matt Damon: Sarah Palin is like 'a really bad Disney movie'

Palin is a moron

HAHAHAHAH!!

Score one for Hockey Moms!!

i agree 100%. he did jason bourne her.

I fucking love Matt Damon.

I fucking love Matt Damon.

<3 Matt Damon.

Matt Damon. Political flea.

Matt Damon sucks. He was in the brother's grimm, that movie was horrible.

FIRE!!!!

Matt Damon is just another fucking hollywood idiot

I fucking hate Matt Damon

i feel ambivalent about matt damon. he's pretty low on my celebrity to-do list, but i absolutely agree with everything he's said. sarah palin scares me. sarah palin as president makes me fear for the world.

How many times did Matt Damon say, "I don't understand." No shit Matt, did you forget? You're a fucking retard. HELLLLOOOOOO?????

I couldn't agree more

matt damon is my hero.

Please tell me that the majority of Americans agree with this. How can anyone seriously think the prospect of Sarah Palin as president of the most powerful country in the world is a good thing?

Is Damon for Obama?

"Matt Damon sent Sarah Palin back to dinosaur times and she didn't even get to ride one, you bitch!"

Matt Damon for President...if the Terminator can be Governor then fuckin' Jason Bourne can lead this country!

The president isn't the most powerful person in the country......stupid ass

I know one thing... Sarah Palin is NOT fucking Matt Damon

WELL I will exempt Matt Damon 100% from my title "Yank and Wank - they rhyme for a reason" so refreshing to see an American not mincing their words & sugaring everything up and cutting through the SHIT and spitting it like it is.
It IS absurd and he used that word about 7 times so I suppose he REALLY does think its totally ABSURD too!
In fact MATT DAMON for president.

Damon's got a good point. Despite the fact that I cringe whenever I hear movie/music stars talk politics, it's so blatantly, obviously scary how unqualified she is and how much personal drama she brings to the table.

Anyone who thinks Damon is a retard or a fucking moron needs to get his or her shit checked. If you think Palin has enough experience to be Commander in Chief, you're a retard. The reason Damon doesn't understand the choice is because IT'S FUCKING MIND-BOGGLING!

No one has to die for Obama to be president and he doesnt have as much experience as Palin. That's that bad thing in all of this.

This guy is right. I hadn't really thought about it, kind of liked her and still want to hear her in a debate. But it apprears that picking her is a reckless mistake typical of the 21st century Republican party. Luckily that from the Congress on down, these people are going to lose a lot of position.

Amen!

i can't let a community organizer have the nuclear codes

Who gives a flying fuck what Matt thinks. rofl

Sick of celebrities (although it really only seems like dems who do this) who use their popularity as a platform for politics, or anything else besides promoting movies, music, etc. Bunch of ass clowns with the competence of a can opener.

Right. She's scary. I mean what's she ever done besides actually running a city and a state? And smack some oil companies and corrupt politicians in her own party? If she only hadn't done that, and ran her mouth off for 35 years in D.C., she could be as qualified as Biden.

But the guy who's never done anything besides write two autobiographies, who starts running for a new job as soon as he gets elected to another one, who like Bin Laden has a close friend who bombed the Pentagon, who gives his wife's company a million dollars in tax dollars right after they triple her salary to 300k, who can't wait to meet with terrorists around the world but has to be dragged into meeting US commanders, who when faced with corrupt Chicago politicans said nothing but "Can you help me a buy a house?", etc.. is qualified to run the country. Obama isn't qualified to run the drive-thru at Wendy's, let alone a nation.

Not that I like Palin, but the "dinosaur" and "book burning" comments were fake quotes posted on some dude's blog. Anderson Cooper interviewed the blogger last night and he confirmed the were joke quotes on a blog NOT intended to reach major sites as factual.

A lot of people believe them though, it looks like Matt Damon fell for them too. I'm sure he'll realize his error and feel sheepish in a day or so. I couldn't find the vid on youtube, but here is the article that shows that those quotes are BS.

Man, it's hard to respect celebrities when they open their mouth and don't say something that a person who actually went to college wrote.

END RANT

I completely agree with him. Does anyone know if she has ever tried to ban books? What skeltons are in her closet from college. What do we know about her? I understand she is a member of a fanatical Christian Church that makes Scientology look normal....

President Palin - has a great ring to it. Here's how it will likely play out:

1. McCain wins in November, and does survive his first term, which is defined by a reduction in wasteful spending by the Congress.

2. Palin seeks and obtains the Republican nomination and serves two terms, taking the US to 2020 with a streamlined, much-reduced federal government, and a much-reduced tax burden on every American.

I fucking love Matt Damon. I didn't before, never really thought about it at all, but that all changed after watching this. "I wanna know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. She's going to have nuclear codes."

Brilliant. Matt Damon is my new hero.

I agree 100% with everything he has said. That b*tch is stark raving mad, bat shit crazy. Screw putting her anywhere near the Oval Office, she'll turn that sh*t square.

And I thought Matt Damon had a brain.

I want obama to win just so I can see a black president. Because I think that no matter who wins, it's all the same. The same puppet master. Black president plz. The End.

Hilarious. Melissa-- Im sick of fat pigs like you who think they have something smart to say.

Stick to bikinis and get out of politics. This shit is stupid, as is that idiot Matt Damon.

@Melissa, If Damon has the competence of a can opener then how about you? I'm pretty positive Matt Damon could post a comment without submitting it three times.

How do you like them apples, Sarah Palin?

Another reason to vote for McCain/Palin....Matt Damon doesn't like her. What a maroon.

THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!!
THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!!
THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!
SARAH DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT RUBBISH!!!!

MATT DAMON IS A F*CKING RETARD LIKE ALL OF HOLLYWOOD.

http://blogs.bellinghamherald.com/index.php?blog=12&title=coming_in_15_minutes_palin_and_lizards_o&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Right on, Dave C. Probably a bit ambitious, but I love the spirit. Talking trash is not Jason Bourne's style. Damon's acting more like Barack Obama.

Matt Damon.. from Harvard University.. I think he know what he is talking about.

Matt Damon is fucking awesome, it's official. All we need is Joan Allen helping him out and you'll have a motherfucking blockbuster.

Damon-Allen '12, you know it makes sense.

A maroon what? His shirt has more of a puce hue to it.

I don't just fucking love Matt Damon, I'm FUCKING MATT DAMON!!!!

Actually she did try to ban books. She wanted to censor many of the books in the library in the small town she was mayor of. She also threatened to fire the librarian if she did not ban these books. Of course no one would let her do this, and so she dropped it.

She also tried to sue the Federal Government for putting Polar Bears on the endangered species list - true story.

Whoever thinks Sarah Palin could do a good job needs to be smacked in the head because they obviously are not thinking clearly. WTF people WTF.

GEORGE BUSH IS FROM YALE - DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS TOO? LOSER.

I didn't know Matt Damon could do math . . .
Didn't he NOT graduate from Harvard?

NUMBER ONE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU HATE SARAH PALIN OR NOT... DAMON'S ARGUMENT IS COMPLETELY SEXIST AND OUTDATED AND THAT IS THE POINT HERE. DID HE SERIOUSLY ACT LIKE A HOCKEY MOM COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE? OBVIOUSLY, HER BEING A MOTHER HASN'T EFFECTED HER GOVERNING HER HOME STATE AND THE SPORT THAT HER CHILDREN PLAY AND THAT SHE SUPPORTS IS NOT A VALID POLITICAL POINT. MAYBE MATT DAMON SHOULD STICK TO KIMMEL/SILVERMAN PARODIES AND KEEP HIS 1950'S IDEALS DEEP INSIDE HIS EMPTY HEAD.

I will agree with Matt Damon, I don't trust anything that bleeds for 4 days and doesn't die.......

Who's the "maroon" Kevin?

Matt Damon's impotent, right?

Give me a freakin break. and B.Obama is qualified? Never had an executive position at any level, not sure if he's had a private sector job, has not done anything in the senate except self promotion, and can't even write is own political puns...has to steal them from a cartoonist. Give me a Mayor/Governor who understands local needs politics and fire all these assholes in Washington...republican and democrat

John McCain & Sarah Palin are wrong for this country...bottomline: SHE IS A RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST and HE IS NO MAVERICK

I nominate Matt Damon for president of HOT.

I think Team America said it best:

Helen Hunt: I'm... Helen Hunt!
Samuel L. Jackson: Samuel L. Jackson!
Matt Damon: [stupidly] Mmmaaattt Dammmmmooonnnn!

Fucking typical Liberal bullshit. Always playing the god damn scare tactics angle. The reason is they don't know shit, and the typical ignorant asshole who never picks up a paper to read the news does not shit either. They see dipshits like Matt Damon spouting off and think Matt Damon is a celebrity so I will vote and think the way he does.

AAAAAAAAAAAhaaah, right on Jason Bourne!

I hear those quotes were made up. Matty Matt...shut up and watch some baseball or something.

MATT DAMON IS A FUCKING IDIOT first of all, McCain alone has more experience then the other party put together. Last I checked Palin is not running for president herself. What's scarier, Obama for president or Palin for VP.

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

I think #63 said it best

Ummm 64?! Liberals play the scare tactics angle? Dude the only thing that was discussed at the RNC is our Nation's Security and 9/11 and how we need someone who can keep our country safe and how if Obama wins our country will not be secure. Republicans invented using scare tactics to get people to vote for them. Also, no one is going to vote for someone because Matt Damon tells them to. They will not vote for Palin because they're sane. Grow up.

Matt Damon thinks soccer moms shouldn't be mayor, or governor, or VP.

Well I think actors shouldn't try to comment on politics they don't understand. Everyone has their place, right Mr. Damon?

Damon proved what a butt monkey he is. He should check his facts before he flaps his man hungry lips. Anyone of my dogs or goats is more qualified than Obama to be president. The greatest generation created the most self absorbed generation with a sense of entitlement added.

Entertainers, with either conservatives or liberal views, should just shut their pie hole up. They are constantly surrounded by sycophants who tell them how great they are, so naturally they think that extends outside the studios or stage.

Never forget 9-11-01

OH YEAH AND NUMBER TWO HE COMPLETELY INVALIDATES HIS OWN VIEWS BY SPEAKING ABOUT "WHAT IF" SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT AND HOW THAT WOULD BE SO HORRIBLE BY CITING HER AS NOT BEING QUALIFIED... UHH, HELLO HAVE YOU MET OBAMA? YEAH... HE ACTUALLY IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.... THAT'S LIKE A BAD MOVIE THEY RUN ONLY ON BET(HOW'S THAT FOR AN OUTDATED WAY OF THINKING? WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT DAMON HAS) SOME SCARY MOVIE WHERE SOME AFRICAN AMERICAN GUY COMES OUT OF NO WHERE TRYING TO BE PRESIDENT BASED ON CHARISMATIC STOLEN SPEECHES. NOW WE'VE MADE IT AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD FOR MATT DAMON'S WAY OF THINKING... ENJOY.

Sarah Palin got where she is on her on her own merits. I, Hilary Clinton, got where am because I rode on my husband’s coattails.

Speaking of absurd, how about celebrities doing political analysis?

tfis is how it goes:
- the vietnam hero will have a heart attack at the 2nd phone call

-piggie palin takes the chair.

-fucking cold war because of a bitchy hairdresser from Alaska.

Gee, even the muslim Obama it's awesome compared to this!

http://theoldarcade.blogspot.com

Yeah Right #72.
Inside job ?
Having any problems with free-fall collapse speed through undamaged steel structure? Molten metal in the ruins ? Stand down of NORAD - that type of thing .. ?

Math Damon... Matt Damon South Park put him in his place

fuck all these candidates. none of them want to legalize drugs and all of them want to keep war on the table with nations like iran.

Wow...I got so much more respect for Matt. He is totally right!

If Sarah Palin is so in touch with community issues, why did she make rape victims in Wasilla pay for their own rape kits? Shouldn't the mayor want to put rapists behind bars? That sounds like a pretty important community issue to me.

http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2000/05/23/news.txt

This is not from a blog or a made up story. It is an actual article from the local paper in Wasilla.

Sarah Palin !!!!!! get your bitch ass in the kitchen.................and make me some pie!!!!

Umm, anyone think that dinosaurs WERE here 4,000 years ago? They were here MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of years ago...duh.

Then again someone really nerdy will say that crocodiles, sharks, dragonflies, and other species' variants have been here during and SINCE the age of dinosaurs. Nerds!

HOWEVER...as an outsider (not american) I cannot imagine McCain winning the election. Palin is a knee-jerk reaction to Obama not having Clinton as his VP (maybe she refused?). It's sad that the media is eating this up and feeding it to the US public. Nevermind her scarce political or wacked out religious background. Die hard Republicans will endorse a fuc*ing mannequin if it was put in her place. I don't get how the Republicans who have screwed over the US so badly stand a shot of getting in again. McCain is the new face, everyone in the background stays the same. Wake up America!

"Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving." ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton

What are conservatives doing reading thesuperficial anyway? Is nothing sacred anymore? Why shouldn't entertainers speak their minds about their political views. Some of those entertainers have bigger brains than most of you anyway.

PS: The victims of 9-11 don't want you using them and their honor as your excuse to encourage and support a fraudulent war or to support the extreme right-wing, anti-equality psycho-babble bullspit.

I'm not sure why actors feel compelled to try to swing votes to their favorite liberal candidates. Matt Damon and his ilk are people who make a really good living by pretending(acting) to be other people! I wish they'd all just shut up, look pretty and hang out on the beach in bikinis, maybe get drunk and get in a fight, you know the stuff we've come to expect from them!

"Well played"

What's she going to do when Putin is glaring her down in Moscow, slap him on the back and start talking about fucking hockey? She's worse than Dan Quayle.

#59: Thank you for speaking some sense! And somehow Matt is implying that Barack Obama is substantially more qualified than Palin? The whole Reverend Wright ordeal made Obama look like a 'really bad Disney movie' as well. And don't forget that Obama's tenure as a community organizer and brief stint in the Senate makes him just as competent for the job as any Joe Blow in America. Just wow. Good thing I'm not voting for either McCain or Obama; I was out of this election as soon as the media overhauled the primary and the entire Democratic Party turned against the most qualified of the candidates: Clinton.

THAT ARTICLE IS FROM 2000!!!!

I didn't realize Matt Damn and I had so much in common. Well, that about sums up how I feel about her. Only I would not have said it in such nice terms. You are correct deacon, Palin is worse than Dan Quayle. I mean, what were the thinking when they picked her? The only was I can rationalize it, is to assume they are trying to throw the election. Makes sense.

Matt you dumb fuck. The sosh/racist running for President, Obama, has about as much or less experience as Palin. Clearly lacking intelligence like most actors.

Actually, here is what Obama has done. It doesn't sound like just a bunch of self-promotion to me.

Below I summarize Senator Obama's legislative record in the US Senate.
First I list the bills he sponsored that have become law.
Next I summarize the bills that he has sponsored or cosponsored since he became
a US Senator in 2005.
I have only included major pieces of legislation and have not summarized
continuing resolutions or naming post offices, for example.
His record suggests several priorities and the bills he supports address many
of our most pressing problems.

Climate Change (25 bills), health care (21 bills) and public health (20 bills),

law:

Develop democratic institutions in areas under Palestinian control (2370).

Obama's Senate record, please feel free to send the link to this diary.
Helenann's diary

Hey #77 good point.
So # 1 - # 88 plus.....ummmm...
Personally I'm still having a few problems with concepts like gravity, resistance, and free fall collapse speed.
(Matt - maybe take out a protractor and help us out here.)

Matt Damon is absurd. I'd rather have Palin in the VP role than Obama in the P role. Also, his comments are called age discrimination -- I'm sure if it were something important like, oh, roles in Hollywood for aging actors, Matt Damon would be all over it saying "oh, age doesn't matter!".

Matt is an idiot.

So funny when celebs think they know something.

Guess he doesn't know that once the conservatives know his is a liberal they won't go to his movies.

Yup folks, thats how it really works

Gues what, Mack. They've known for years!

Gr8 points all #94-95
inside job ?

Gues what, Mack. They've known for years!

Palin has more experience than Obama, if you don't want a woman in office say that. Senators, especially freshman senators are not equipped to rule the country, everything else aside.

@92

That's the longest list of nothing I have ever seen congrats.

He's been a senator 2 years and absent most of it.

McCain... Landslide '08.

Democrats are obviously fucktarded if all they can muster is nobody from their crowd. Pretty damn pathetic. Hopefully we see the end of them. Shoulda been the end of them during the civil war as they were the pro slavery group hence the birth of the republican party. Glad to see the dem's haven't lost their roots in still using minorities for their own political gains. Like a horse been led by a carrot on a stick. They think so lowly of minorities that they constantly rehash them as a charity case every election and people wonder why there's still racial tensions in this country. Cuz idiots vote dem keeping it alive.

A village in Juno, Alaska has lost it's town idiot. Now that Palin has done the soccer mom, lipstick, hate Obama, ...blah, blah... thing. Where's the platform? Although Matt's a C-lister, I definitely agree with him.

O'bama's experience is questionable, too. However, I would be more comfortable with someone who has spent an ample amount of time studying the issues and has already built a platform than someone who was chosen to appeal to middle-aged soccer moms from small towns (aka - Hillary Clinton supporters). The fact that McCain made a campaign decision to win (e.g., attempting to take Clinton supporters) versus getting someone qualified to be president in the event that his old diaper wearing, corpse-looking @ss kicks the bucket, makes me question his judgement (more than I question Obama's). Sounds like that same selfish sh-t that Bush did when we invaded Iraq -- going after after someone who threaten his father at the expense of the entire country.

#67. Amen

Voting for Yoda I am. ; )

@ #64

Scare tactics???? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! Those who live in glass houses...

Isn't that why we invaded Iraq? Isn't that what the Republicans use to scare us into voting to the right?

Wake the f-ck up and form your own opinions and stop being the equivalent of a stepford wife (whatever the great Fox News say is the holy grail).

BTW, I've voted to the right in the past. I just have my own d-mn mind and make my own decisions & do not hang on every spin and retoric that comes from any political party. It seems like you don't do the same.

@104 - Damn dude, you're pretty bright and intelligent trolling a site like The Superficial. FAIL.

What a stupid, douche nozzle. Hey Matt, check the actuary tables and tell me the percentage that Obama will become president if we vote democrat... yeah 100%, and he is LESS qualified than Palin. She only ran Alaska for two years? Im sorry, did Obama run anything.. ever? No he is a first term senator who has spent the last 19 months campaigning.

Obama apparently doesn't think that the president has the 'pay grade' to make tough decicisons, and you don't have to worry about him staring down Putin. He will just give him a big man hug like he does Kwame Kilpatrick, then stop on the way home to have unconditional talks with Iran.

And I think enough people have already posted the links that prove the statements he quoted were jokes.

Matt Damon endorses Obama... all the reason in the world to vote Republican.

Ha Ha...he's correct.

Be afraid...very afraid.

I'm sure Palin cares what some hollywood dildo like Matt Damon 'thinks'. Matt, go make a decent movie and learn how to become a real actor with depth rather than a Stallone wannabe.

I can't believe people are saying they would rather have Palin as VP then Obama as President. Are you fucking retarded? The whole lacks experience thing is an easy target for both of them. It's been said before, look at Bush and Cheney's experience and look where it got us. I will not support anyone who thinks creationism should be taught in schools. I will not support anyone who wants to outlaw abortion. I will not support anyone who wants to deny homosexuals benefits or the right to marry. These bible toting dipshits need to get over themselves and take a look at the real world. If McCain is elected, I'm moving out of the country.

For all you moron's saying he's a celeb so he should shutup about politics obviously think the same about Arnold, Reagan, and Fred Thompson. So who is the moron?

'Frank' - Ignorant Mericans and shills seem to be invading.
'Frank' from 16th Floor : Knee, if they were Mericans - they'd answer the question.

These aren't Americans Knee. I knew Americans.

McCain with all his "experience" and "wisdom" ought to be ashamed of himself for voting with Bush, who let's face it, has turned this country into the laughing stalk that it has become, 90% of the time. All of the experience in the world doesn't make up for extreme stupidity. Barack Obama doesn't have the "experience" that McCain has but he has a big ass brain and a big ass heart. He's so freaking smart, that McCain had to steal his "change" slogan. Yeah, it's working, I guess that is what people want, so he's going to steal it.

@ 109

I will buy three one-way tickets, one for you, one for Matt and one for that gelatinous land mass Michael Moore.

Okay all this other political bullshit aside, I am SO sick of hearing about John McCains age. He would be only two years older than Reagan was when he became president.

If Palin becomes Pres, she's gonna make me Secretary of Muff-Diving.....she knows why ;)

"Running" Alaska is like running trees and snow. Actually, it's not like that, it is that. What exactly did that woman do besides kill lots of animals and pay herself for staying home? Alaska has the population of what? 10?

Yes, because Obama's 100 some odd days as a senator makes him soooo qualified. Obama is a joke when it comes to experience. Matt Damon is a celebrity moron and should take Obama's dick out of his mouth like all the other band wagon liberal idiots.

That's classy. Really classy.

#60...Palin is a religous extremist?

Last I checked Obama was the Muslim douche that won't even salute the flag and wants to change the National Anthem.

"For those of you who are geographically impaired" (to quote the great Jimmy Buffett) Alaska is as large as the second, third and fourth largest states combined (Texas, California and Montana) It population has grown about 20% every decade since the 50's and its population is as large as Cleveland and Saint Louis combined. Still have anything to say? Nah, I didnt think so.

Lessee: We have Damon, who makes his living pretending stuff, commenting on Palin, who is a state governor that actually (no pretending) cleaned up Alaskan corruption and sold the state jet to reign in spending.
Sounds like a no-brainer decision: I'd say Damon would do better to stick with fantasising about Jude Law..

Has anyone not noticed how the Republican Party Political Machine will not let Palin speak unless a speech has been made for her? Speak only when allowed to speak...is this what you guys want from a so called political leader? Does no one else find this sexist?

Wow, who gives a flying fuck what a Hollywood moron cares about an election either way. Does being able to sit still for make-up for 8 hours make you an Einstein? No, it barely raises you above boil on the ass of society.

just remember to vote Palin/McCain, so when i get to college, i can date rape your daughters and you'll be a grandparent!

The problem with that statement, Joe, is that you DIDN'T check. At best, you "heard" it from some wack-job, ignorant, racist, lying hick, or a republican. Pick your poison.

Joe: there is no proof of anything you just said. That was right wing propoganda! People seriously need to get their head out of their ass and realize that just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true!! And that goes for both sides. I.E. the email that said Palin banned books...not true either!

So. # 1- 119 (plus)

Matt D. is the shiznit, but not for this reason. I loved him in the movie, "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Oh, and he's hot too.

Alaska ranks 47th in population, which is the primary factor in governance (governing a lot of snow and ice isn't particularly impressive).

And yeah, Palin "cleaned up corruption" - the single greatest pork-barrel senator has been Ted Stevens (R, Alaska), and Palin ran one of his 527 group (to support his reelection).

I love fucking Matt Damon!

Actually the only religious whack jobs I have seen lately were all gathered in one place.. 80,000 or so of them worshipping at the altar of the false messiah, Barack Hussein Obama.

"We hear and obey oh great Obama... tax us master! Take our money!"

No one's responding Knee....these morons have no questions-let alone answers.
Inside job...

Sarah Palin can suck it. I'd like to fist her with my Bigfoot arm.

Matt Damon talks out of his ass. Typical Hollywood idiot.

I bet Matt "I can see the fish swimming behind his eyes" Damon did not factor in the fact that the president is privy to the best medical care known. McCain is a survivor and a true American patriot. I think he will be around awhile. Too bad democrats....get used to it.

"But, please, save us McCain. Send all of our money to Iraq so they can get rich and we can become more indebted to China and be their bitch for another 4 years."

-"MATT DAMON IS A FUCKING IDIOT"
I don't know him in person so who knows, I'm leaning towards he might be...

-"What's scarier, Obama for president or Palin for VP."
Jesus Christ could be running for president and I would still be scared. I guess it's safe to say though, they are both pretty inexperienced and well I just plain don't like McCain... I'll just go ahead and put my own name on that ballot...

And let's face it, she was picked to attract the female vote... It's easy to tell it's working when girls freak out when she's criticized... "That's sexist" give me a break, it's Matt Damon's opinion... who here really cares?

-"The typical ignorant asshole who never picks up a paper to read the news" You're talking on a celebrity scandal website which already makes me doubt that you even know what the news are...

-"Democrats are obviously fucktarded if all they can muster is nobody from their crowd. Pretty damn pathetic."
HAHAHA that's just one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen... I love how Rep and Dem always act like little kids... What are you calling them next? Big stupid doo doo heads?? Seriously man, just because they have different views doesn't make them stupid but reacting like that kinda proves you are...

-"The victims of 9-11 don't want you using them and their honor as your excuse to encourage and support a fraudulent war or to support the extreme right-wing, anti-equality psycho-babble bullspit."
Very true. Whether Dem or Rep or any political party, using families pain and anguish is disgusting and the sad part is that assholes fall for it...

Oh well, we'll see how it all turns out Nov. 4... That is of course if the LHC doesn't kill us all before OMG SAVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!!!! hahahaha :P

I hate Obama too the only candidate I had any respect for was Clinton and you bunch of mindless sexist Yank twats fucked that up. FUCK another reason to HATE Americans.
Although gimme Obama or Palin and I will go with Obama.

I'm sorry I missed the part where they show Palin's boobs. One second while I re-watch the video.

UPDATE: Yep just as I thought... no boobs. Why in the fuck are we discussing politics on this site.

Gee, I'm gullible too! Sarah Palin is a hockey mom, fearless reformer...a BARRACUDA!

Just one thing - why hasn't she answered a SINGLE QUESTION in all the time since she was select as McCain's VP? Since the convention, every single appearance has consisted of her repeating lines from her convention speech, in the same order every time, with no questions from the audience or the press.

Fearless! Ready to lead!

Whatever you say...

Gr8 points all # 133-4
Inside job ?

Hahahahah. Funniest shit ever. It totally is like a bad Disney movie. Only non-animated and scary. Scarier than Scarface from the Lion King.

#139...I've noticed...Palin keeps her mouth shut and only speaks when the men in her party let her speak...just like a good little lady. Kinda makes me sick, actually.

Save the liberal vitriol for 4 years from now. The only stat that matters is this. No state has been as reliable a barometer for elections as Missouri has. Since 1904 the electorate of Missouri has accurrately predicted the winner of the presidential election - a streak no other state even comes close to. Who is polling ahead right now? McCain and Palin by 7 points. All over but the crying ladies and gents.

Matt damon should keep quiet so he doesn't lose his credibility like all the other big mouthed self-indulgent hollywood hotshots. what's with people like you shoving your opinions down our throats? thanks but no thanks.

Governor Palin has no experience? And Obama has...organized a community? I set up neighborhood wiffle ball games when I was a kid and our cul-de-sac had a garage sale last summer. Guess i'm a community organizer too! RYAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

@120 - Alaska has a smaller population that San Francisco. Land mass doesn't count for shit if no ones living there.

Does that mean you think Gavin Newsom is qualified to run for office after 4 years of running a city that, in 2007, made $8.2 billion dollars in tourism alone, without even touching any oil?

Nah, I didn't think so, you dumb-fuck, backwards-thinking troll.

During her short political career to this point, Sarah Palin has been one of the most successful pork-barrel politicians in the country, in terms of the total amount of ear-marked funds per capita. That's not a partisan accusation, it's a statement of fact.

#139 - and, she didn't write the convention speech.

But, nice boobs!

All Sarah Palin supporters are cunts and fags.

Also this goes out to #92 aka SmartandCute2Boot:

I will make this simple, which your not likely to fathom, or then again maybe you will appreciate.

1.) I can tell you like to overcompensate for your feelings of inadequacy by making lame attempts of impressing others, on a celeb blog mind you with tiring data you copied and pasted. Honey people on celeb blogs are statstically less intelligent than the average consumer from a political blog. BTW, I am slumming. This is not my ususal hang out.

2.)Your name is ridiculous and smacks of desperation and arrogance, overall security (sound familiar). The name you chose is probably vastly untrue as you are neither as smart or as cute as you fancy yourself.

3.) For a concise and easy to interpret voting record check out http://knowbeforeyouvote.com/ . It. is concise and targets main issues (no, #92, it does not address the naming of post offices as that is not considered important). However, it is more user friednly than the Christmas list you posted and gives the source of the information.

4. You name should be:
A.) I don't have a life so I post a bunch of junk
B.) I post crap nobody can make sense of in the name of sounding smart
C.) Fun with copy and paste

All this talk about how unqualified Sarah Palin is, and Obama is even LESS qualified as her. I guess he'd make an even better president, huh? Ridiculous.

Speaking of retarded, all of these people who say she has more experience than Obama? That's RETARDED. Look at their careers. Looks at who has served the public long and had more experience on a national level. Look at who has had a fucking passport for more than a year. Look at the fact that she's lying her ass off about being a maverick and fighting lobbyists and pork-barrel spending. She has no business being second in line to run my country. Matt Damon can say what he wants...he can speak for me, since I don't have a tv crew waiting around to hear what I have to say.

I'm not a Mat Damon fan, but he's dead on. The right wing whackos must be deranged to think this PTA mom is ready to potentially lead this country. I love the fact that no one knew about her until 2 weeks ago. I'd like to see her in the Middle East or Afghanistan giving those Muslims her Hocky Mom mantra.

# 156 Cute.
Inside job ?

And what exactly does Matt Damon know about Barack Obama? What I know is although he and his wife have been a success in America, they are not proud of their country. I know he associates with racist Pastors - Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger. In fact, they are mentors. I know he had a chance to endorse a candidate that would have removed the dirty politicians in Cook County but he didn’t because they have contributed to his political campaign. I know he has benefited from the Chicago machine. I know he’s associated with Bill Ayers. I know Barack Obama got a sweet deal on his house the same day Tony Rezko paid full price for the empty lot next door. I know he assisted Tony Rezko get milions of dollars of deals from the government. I know Al-Mansour, an advisor to Saudi prince and a racist, helped him get on the Harvard Law Review. These aren’t just tangential relationships. Emil Jones has said that he created this US Senator- how else did Barack Obama take credit for the legistation during his last year in the State Senate of Illinois. His whole life he’s been running for office. In fact, he’s been running for office the last 59 of 112 months. That’s what I know about Obama - That’s SCARY to me.

Matt Damon another left wing retard that doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Thank god a celebrity has come forward to tell me how to think. I was worried because I didn't know what to do. No Hollywood celeb was coming out to speak their mind on this matter.

I feel much better now, thank you Matt for telling me how you feel. Now I know what to think about this election!

Ah, the oh so scholared in politics actor doesn't think a little ole' woman can run the office.

So how well is it going to run when Obama gets murdered and we have another 70 year old man in office?

All this talk about how unqualified Sarah Palin is, and Obama is even LESS qualified than she is. I guess he'd make an even better president, huh? Ridiculous.

#156...1) Nice grammar there, buddy. 2) Nice condescending tone as well. Sorry you have to slum it with the rest of us lowlifes. As your moniker suggests, you really are "Lipstick on a Pig".

HA HA as opposed to a muslim porch Monkey in the white house!

Yikes ! Cliff - With these Yanks - it's hard to sort out the morons from the shills.
Cliff Notes : That's what makes life interesting Bink.
Binky : Oh.

@156: Does her name really matter or was it because it spells out everything you probably you feel when you look at in the mirror...
"BTW, I am slumming. This is not my ususal hang out." I'm sure it isn't, you must be hanging out with great minds right? Please enlighten us with all your great wisdom...
@92: Next time make sure the copypasta is not that long because it really turns off a person when you have to scroll 5 times to read a comment... I just looked at it, it was ridiculous...
@145-150: Hmmm... sorry I'm engaged already :P

I'd take a guy who went to Harvard School, worked at a law firm, worked in the Illinois State Senate for 8 years, and then a US Senator for another 3 + years, and has campaigned for the past 2 years to be President over some girl who went to 5 schools before graduating from some school in Idaho, was head of the PTA in her small town, Mayor of a poduck city in AK (population approx 8,000), and then governor of Alaska (for less than two years and state pop. is approc 700,000 people)...ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Let's talk about more important matters. I'm getting krunk!! Who's going to join me?!?!?!

Reading these posts made my I.Q. drop 10 points. Has anyone heard of cross-referencing facts or finding reputable sources?

One thought on the concerns of McCain's potential death in office: Harry S. Truman was V.P. for 3 months before becoming President and brought no legislative or executive experience to the table. He is now considered one of the top 10 presidents in U.S. history (1,2).

Note, I'm not supporting any party this election, though I generally support liberal policies. I do support intelligent comments though, even on fluff forums.

(2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents

#161...By the way, Barack's wife said that in her speech which was taken out of context and she has corrected herself to clear it up. If you didn't spend so much time bible thumping you might figure that out. By the way, did you know Palin was on a commission to secede Alaska from the Union? Did you know she thinks it's God's will to have a pipeline in AK? Did you know her pastor said Jews deserve what they get in the Middle East? You can spin it however you want, but stop letting your clergy molest you and get some fresh air.

Matt Damon for the Win.

@ minerva: Ingenious plan!

# 172 for president!
ok... yeah I'm drunk... Leaving now would be a good idea...

Assholes!

Palin is NOT running for president.
Its hilarious how liberals are comparing her (the VP candidate,) to to oBama the PC because oBama does not have the expeience to hold John MCcains coat!.

@175 (a.k.a Frank) Oh I'm definitely voting you for president now hahaha

Gr8 points all Bill Clinton.
Inside job ?

can we start calling Holly Madison of Girls Next Door fame

"H-Mad"

from now on?

please, can we? i think she might fuck me if she finds out i started her new killer nick.

Yes 'Frank' from 16th floor.. Def an inside job

You know Matt, Shut the FUCK UP. Who cares what you think? You are dumb fucking ACTOR. So shut the fuck up and just act. You are paid to entertain me and nothing else.

Any person who would make their voting choice on what an actor says should be banned from voting.

I think you should have to take an IQ test before you cast your vote. Stupid people should not be allowed to vote.

So SATAN - I knew you usually show up about now. Inside job ?

Fuck you asshole - Matt. Fucking liberal mouthed, uninformed, social retard. You continue to show your IQ and why no one cares about what you think - other than to tell what an ass you are.

Cheers # 181 - it's a jungle out there. x

The same people who don't know why they hate Palin are the same people that don't know why the love Barack. You friggin retarded idealogues. I don't like Palin either but I hope she and McCain win just to piss you libs off.

Read about Palin's drug addict son and slutty daughter:

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65407?cid=RSS

Matt Damon is right. We don't know Sarah Palin, and we are giving her one of the most important jobs in the world. Vice president of the United States is huge! She is a massive gamble. This is not Hollywood, this is real life. Wake Up People!!!

#186 -188 I'm still having a few problems with free fall collapse speed .
Comments ?

Why do people assume you're voting for Obama if you say anything against McCain???

I am a Ron Paul supporter and will vote for the Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr.
I also think McCain choosing this woman over more qualified candidates for VP such as Romney shows his poor judgement which we as a nation cannot afford after the last 8 years.

Smart&Cute2Boot #92

Yeah sure, your smart and cute alright. Your probably some Birkenstock, Subaru driving, Global Warming, Tofu eating, Clam Banging, Bio-Genetic misfire with a hard on for the facts in your twisted Liberal mindset.

Take a look at some hard facts about your boy Obama. Yeah I know..Its all Bull $hit right..Standard Liberal answer to anybody whose not in lock step with your Liberal socialist views.

1.) Selma Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well-educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM, according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).
From and for more.... go to...

8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were
registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine.

13.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I Misvoted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior
lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored d or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign-contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

# 190-191 - Welcome to the site.
No one reads the long ones. Inside job ?

When's America going to get mad Binky ?
Binky : Not sure Cliff - but the sooner the better.

@191: TL;DR...

FIRST!!!

Thank you Steve Ackerman!

Ya know what scares me...Actors who self importantly believe we care what they think.

Ya know what else scares me...Barack Oprahma.

Left-wingers have finally found someone who scares them more than George W. Bush. And she's just a hockey mom from Alaska! What a bunch of pussies. And they wonder why the country doesn't trust them to stand up to terrorists.

Good points all # 194-195.
Your country has become a joke and you're relevant reps.

Wow - it's hard to keep up with all the new shills.
Inside job ?

i'm fucking matt damon

#191 just to let you know that your vote for Barr will be absolutely meaningless. You remind me of those tree sitters in Berkeley who sat to protect a tree for 22 months, only to have it chopped down yesterday. But, it's the principle, right?

Obama's inexperience does not scare me, because he has shown a capacity to learn and grow. Sarah Palin scares me because her mind is firmly made up, even when faced with facts. She is Dubyah all over again. Please spare me another ultraChristian in the White House, please!

"Your country has become a joke and you're relevant reps."
Hahahaha...

Mighty Mike: you realize Damon went to Harvard, right? He's not exactly a moron, so while you can insult his views don't call him an idiot or an uneducated celebrity that never attended college.

192. Knee Ya Ha Ha
Hell I don't care if your read the entire comment. Your reply supports your Liberal pithy response to facts that are public information that can't be discredited. Typical Liberal response, "Must Be an Inside Job".

Oh Ok # 205 - Can you explain free fall collapse speed ?
(You seem like a real intellectual )

For the people who keep saying Palin has more experience than Obama so she should be president is retarded. Obama's 2002 speech on his opposition to the war in Iraq alone tells me that his foreign policy is spot on. Go read it (it takes 2 minutes). It's as if he was clairvoyant.

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Barack_Obama's_Iraq_Speech

You people honestly think that a country run by rich, white old men is going to allow a black guy to be leader of the free world? Let's not kid ourselves. I don't care what the polls say, when people go to the booth in November, and those curtains are closed, people will look down and see the name of a black man and check the other box. I'm not racist, I'm just telling it like it is. And before people start lamenting about how they will vote for Obama, let's remember that the comments section on thesuperficial, contrary to popular belief, does not represent middle America.

St Louis Cardinal, are you one of the bible toting dipshits I mentioned earlier? I would love for you to pay for my flight out of this country if McCain is elected. I will then sit back and watch as your country goes down the shitter.

Say # 208 Andy...
Inside job ?

When I saw a post related to politics, I wondered what sort of Neanderthal-ery would be in the comments. I'm impressed by how many of you there are.
I have to say- if you are stupidenough to think that McCain/Palin would be an acceptable President/VP team, it's truly amazing that you've also figured out how to use a computer keyboard. And I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to be you- to think that an adolescent girl who has been raped or incested should have to carry the child to term (Sarah Palin would make sure this would happen by appointing anti-choice Supreme Court Justices) or to want to have a dangerous religious fanatic and a demonic lunatic (a continuation of the Bush/Cheney religious fanatic/demonic lunatic team) running the country so that we can continue our descent toward hell, dragging the rest of the world with us.

I have a question for everyone who posted here: how does it make you feel that you wasted your time doing so?

Damon has made a living acting. Your political views should stay private. You may not like the VP choice, but she does have more experience than our democratic choice.

Think about it! Would you make someone the CEO of your company who has only worked for your company 143 days? As a democrat, it's scary to think he would be learning how to run the country without any experience of running anything.

I think Matt hit it write on. The guy is pretty intelligent and I've heard similar comments from other commentators over the internet I.e. Liveleak and I think the American people need to wake up and realize that the rest of the world is watching and another Republican run will spell disaster for the American people as other countries have had it with American cowboy politics.

If the Republicans come to power I won't be surprised if there is a dirty bomb or nuclear attack on US soil as Republicans continue their poorly contrived rule.

I'm Canadian and i would vote for Obama.

Black, Jews, LiberEls! None of them understand! THE ONLY WAY ANYONE WILL EVER READ WHAT I WRITE IS IF IT'S IN ALL CAPS AND I WON'T FEEL VALIDATED AS A PERSON UNLESS I KNOW SOMEONE READS THIS BECAUSE I'M SO ALONE ALSO OBAMA AKA OSAMA IS A LIBEREL JEW MEDIA SIMPETHIZER DO U RLY WANT SOME1 WHO DOESNT LOOK JUST LIKE U TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY I DONT THINK SO PRAISE JESUS ALSO IF YOU WANT I CAN FORWARD YOU THIS CHAIN EMAIL I GOT FROM MY GRANDPA.

#173 You're a fucking liar

palin never supported secession from the union. FactCheck.org

Sliming Palin

September 8, 2008

False Internet claims and rumors fly about McCain's running mate.

Summary

We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.

* Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she tripled per-pupil funding over just three years.

* She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

* She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.
* Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesty" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.
* Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

A few of these claims were included in a chain e-mail by a woman named Anne Kilkenny. We'll be looking into other charges in that e-mail for a future story. For more explanation of the bullet points above, please read the Analysis.

Thanks folks for all your cards and letters - Keep the noise down at the back.
We're going to be here all night. Our phones are open.
The 11th day of every month.
So #211-213... Inside job ?

Most actors are not qualified to express ANY political views publicly. Most of them are narcissists and out of touch with the average working American. Matts' comments expose just how dense he really is. No thanks...won't be supporting his overpaid movie carrier any longer.

The best description of whom Obama really is can be found on this link. The writer, Jack Wheeler, is conceivably the most eloquent writer I've read thus far.

http://www.topix.com/forum/topstories/TVHANR2I0F7TN09QJ

what does "inside job" mean in relation to posting on this website?

do not answer my question with a question if you know what i mean

HEY !!! All you people disappear after one comment. And don't answer the question.
Why is that ?
Cliff Notes : Inside job.

For the record #210, I'm not voting for McCain/Palin. As a matter of fact I'd tell everyone not to vote for them. I don't think any of these idiots are qualified, including Obama(yes, the black guy I mentioned). I'm just saying that racism is still prevalent, regardless of how progressive you think we've become. And #211, the horse has been beatin to death we know that America is an evil and country that takes more than it gives, thanks for pointing that out for the 862nd time. Don't worry Roe vs. Wade won't be overturned so you can continue to be a whore and kill your unborn babies as many times as you want.

You speak of my grammer , but what are you? What is a Koobear? Forgive me but I am actually curious. BTW, I graduated from MIT, grammar is not my forte. However, my guess is my grammar is better than yours...wanna have a grammar throw down?

Ignorant. Playing a brilliant mathmatician does NOT make you one. It's not statistically accurate. Ignorant again. In the event of the death of a sitting president, the VP does not AUTOMATICALLY become president. Congress chooses. Now I just think of Matt as a dopey actor, good thing he's pretty up there on that screen...for now.

Minerva, Knee Ya Ha Ha, Cliff Notes (AKA: all the same person)-- please stop your incessant rants about "inside jobs". The only jobs you need to concern yourself with are the ones your giving out for free these days-- hand and blow. Take off your tinfoil helmet, turn off your HAM radio, and get out of the basement once in a while. Mmmmkay Chicken Little?

Reality based type thing SATAN ?
Check with these guys and prove to me they're frauds.
Sorry - I'm always reality based.

Palin takes sarcastic cheap-shot jabs, then runs away and hides. When the guy tries to fight back, Palin's handlers cry "sexist assault!"

In other words: she's a typical woman.

Hopefully McCain will find his balls again before the election.

J Silva,
According to your argument, George W. Bush should be extremely qualified to run the country because he has so many days of "experience" as President. But I wouldn't even trust him to clean my toilet without supervision.
Obama is a fully-formed human being, capable of nuance, exquisitely discerning, and he's extremely intelligent- and if there is one thing that this country needs, it's someone intelligent at the top. We've been suffering eight long years because we have a fucking monkey for President and he's got one of Satan's jackals at his side as VP. We do NOT need more of the same, and McCain/Palin would just be more of the same. As far as experience goes, both McCain and Palin have shown that all their experience adds up to an ability to be smart-assed liars, and little more.
If you think this country needs more wars in the Middle East, more US soldiers and innocent Iraqis dying, more tax cuts for rich people, more interference in government from religious fanatics, and more lies and deception coming out of the White House, there is something very, very wrong with you.

Take your complaints to these guys #224 and welcome to the site.
Explain to them your concepts of 'reality' and see how it goes.
Maybe look up concepts like 'gravity' and 'resistance' before you go.
Cliff Notes : Newton would be a good start.

And Frank on the 16th Floor too... go on and do your best swan dive off the 16th so we can all wonder if it was "an inside job"

FUCK YOU DAMON YOU FUCKING HOLLYWOOD LEFT WING FAGGOT! If I ever see your fucking faggot ass in New York I'll kick it all the way to Alaska you fucking asshole! My mom was a hockey mom...and she'll kick your faggot Boston ass till your rectum is coming out of your fucking nose you fucking hollywood faggot.

So ...#230.....you American ?....no offense...
Having any problems with free fall collapse speed ?
Molten metal in the ruins..that type of thing ?

Also what are ZuZu's petals and what flower do they originate from? A Zuzu, assuming it is actualIy a flower. Anyway I want to avoid it at all cost, it seems angry. I bet they smell strange and probably grow near the place where Koobears wander. Maybe Alaska or somewhere more exotic.

Things I have noticed:

1.What is inside job? Why the mystery? I am not in your secret club. Are you inviting me? Maybe I want to be but need to know, yes or no. Inside job or not. Knock three times and turn around twice.

2.When those of a more liberal persuasion become mad they get petty...like attack grammar or call you a poopy pants. Why is this? Knock three times, turn around twice. Inside job?

3. Harvard is a pit of rabid liberals. MIT is the real deal. Not just anyone can attempt Math.

Gr8 points all Ted.
Inside job ?

I gotta love all these Z-List has-been stars coming out to support the
Obamanation,, Wait, Wait, Madonna too,,, maybe drag Amy Winehouse out of the
den to cast her light into the situation....err.rr.r..r

#227
Obama is a fully-formed human being,

you are trying so hard to sound intelligent, educated and elitist.
can you please tell me what the fuck that means? you sound so ignorant talking down to everyone here. run along zoozoo petal, and let the big kids play.

maybe that was freudian for the fully-formed babies your side justifies killing.

hmmm. just a thought.

Zuzu is your standard, prototypical cookie-cutter liberal. Of course Americans kill Iraqis, but terrorist who blow themselves up in open markets don't. He whines about wars in the middle east that are raged to steal from these oil rich countries to fuel his gas guzzling SUV/pinto. He makes little money and thus, feels victimized when rich people are rewarded with tax cuts, all the while never thinking for one second that the richest 10% of people in this country pay for 70% of all taxes. He feels that I should be punished for working hard in school, getting a great job, saving and investing wisely. He is essence, a loser, who has great ideas but is never able to follow through.

Inside job # 233 involves the impossibility of physics. ETC.
You American ? Check the link for further answers.
Cheers

inside job refers to the cooks that are sure our government was responsible for 9/11.

don't indulge them-for example #238

zoo zoo puddles probably agrees with that, also

maattt daayymawn. = idiot that nobody cares about. incoherent mumbly jumbly baffoon. Insert the name "Barack Obama" for 90% of his ramblings and "community organizer" for "hockey mom" and you've got what I assume is his pick.

Alan Turing I am not. I am an actaury, not a brilliant one nor do I play a brilliant mathmatician or an actuary on t.v.-not sure why you would think that.

I do:
1.)Have a higher salary than the avergae
2.)Do not like my money taken and divied out among the masses

You are more than likely liberal and that is why you became agitated by me stating my opinion. Why does this anger you? Are others not allowed to have a thought that diverges from your belief system? Oh yea, I forgot your a democrat which is neither tolerant nor liberal but does pretend to have both characteristics.

Who # 139 ?
Which cooks ? Could you give us a recipe ?
That type of thing

#109 What's a lovely, open minded, stellar human being such as yourself doing in a cesspool like this? If I may be so forward... *blush* ...May I join you in your post electoral exodus if grampa and the soccer mom/devil reincarnate actually DO steal-- I mean win-- the election?

Yeah, kennedy had no experience either. In the words of Tom Morello, I think it's bullshit that the only choice the american people get is for two overprivallaged persons.............. Fuck all of this, america is suppose to be about choice and freedom. we have don't really have either. it's bullshit.

Well ok ... #239 (sp)
Cliff Notes : So much for the pathos Knee.
Knee Ya Ha Ha : Blow me.

MEMO TO # 212

I DUNNO, MR. BIDEN-- WHY DON'T WE START WITH YOU???

BZZZZ08-I am aware that the VP takes over in the event that the president cannot carry on his duties (I think death qualifies). Palin does not scare me as much as Obama Hussein who is a bit unsettling for various reasons. I am an actuary. I am not brilliant. I consider myself an average American who works hard, is patriotic and would like to see my hard work benefit myself and my family first. I am a fiscal conservative not so much in the private sector.

#222...I'm an English Major with focus on script writing and the creative arts as well as project research and development. You really wanna grammar slam with me? "Koobear" is my handle.

Matt Damon is a liberal douche.

I just keep picturing him from "World Police"

...Matt. Daaamon...

LOL

I'm shocked by how many die hard republicans there still are after the last 8 years. Big business makes record profits and the working class American suffers. Nothing's gonna change with McCain / Palin and the divide between the very wealthy and poor will widen. Most republicans I've spoken with and have read on this blog don't seem to question their republican leaders and are suckered very easily. They have a working class mentality and are easily manipulated by the church and republican party. A few speeches about "national security" and God is all it really takes. 99% of the Palin fans didn't have any idea who she was one month ago and now they'd be thrilled to have her as the president. People got on board for her without ever hearing one unscripted word uttered from her mouth. If that's not blind faith I don't know what is.

Gr8 point # 249 .
LOL. Etc.
Inside job ?

Bro Love!

Here is Matt "I'm a freaky Hollywood liberal" Damon's question from a more tactful point of view: How much of her governing is influenced by her faith?

IMO so far it looks like very little - but she still represents a conservative woman and that almost guarantees that she is also incredibly kinky. If that is what the voters decide, then I think we are finally ready for that as a country.

So...your 17 year old breaks the news that she's pregnant. After the initial shock, you rally to her support, and start thinking about everything you can do to make sure that she will still have opportunities in life. You know perfectly well that starting to carry the heavy load of responsibility as a parent (without a true, willing partner, no less) at only 17 years old will change her life forever, and she will inevitably miss out on a lot of fun things in ordinary young adulthood because she will have to make huge sacrifices for her child's sake.

And then you choose to expose her to the insane media scrutiny of the last stages of a presidential election.

What?

Can anyone really imagine doing that? I can easily understand highly ambitious people who prioritize themselves over their young kids ("family sacrifice" meaning sacrificing by the kids, not the parents), but even then there are limits, at least for halfway decent folks. When something like Bristol's situation happens, families treat it as a family emergency and most everything else become a secondary priority, until the child is born and the young mom shows signs of being able to adjust to the stress of motherhood when she's way too young to be ready for it.

How many moms push that daughter into the national spotlight, not for her benefit, but for the moms? I can't think of any situation like this in recent memory.

It's pretty sick. But the worst part? Being in the house, before the pregnancy was revealed to the public, and telling Bristol she's have to hold her infant brother in front of cameras so her pregnant belly isn't showing.

I don't care about anything else in this election, now. There's no way I'm voting for parent who eagerly sacrifices her/his kids like that. Politicians are sleazeballs in lots of ways and usually you just have to put up with it, but when they lack the basic character to care for vulnerable people in their own family, they're never getting my vote.

So #253.
Inside job ?

Minerva, what is copypasta (see #169). It sounds tasty. It probably is something a Koobear would eat or a by product of zuzu petals.

Also I am not good looking, but you would not kick me out of bed (unless your a lesbian Subaru driver and judging by your vitrol you are) nor do I claim to be as great as the person you are defending (maybe it's you) 2smart andcute2boot or whomever. Anyone who calls themselves by that moniker cannot be Hawkins in a dress my lovely Minerva.

#254 ?

#248
get over yourself. maybe you're awesome-"koobear" is not.

#242
did i mistype and say cook instead of kook? perhaps fucking nutjob would have been a better choice. no typo there.

#250
bush being a loser doesn't make millions rethink their core beliefs. what is there to ponder?

#255 - Absolutely - you can see this one from a mile away.

you are a bunch of liberal schmucks! Not only will McCain/Palin win, we who love our God and guns are going to take control of this country that liberals have turned into a festering pool of ignorant morons. People like Damon (yeah, he's qualified to run his cakehole, all his movies suck ass) better be on the lookout! Viva la revolution.

Sarah Palin scares the shit out of me. However, McCain is just as scary and he looks like Freddy Kruger (sp?)

@ zuzuspetals #227

*APPLAUDS LOUDLY*

Well done. Not only does dubya have 8 years under his belt, he also had the counsel of daddy too! experience without intellegent and responsible leadership means nothing.

#254

i am not voting for a parent. i am voting for a government.

bristol isn't crying foul so why are you?

Oh my God!!!! You have a liberal arts degree!!!! That is impressive!!! How difficult to be accepted to such a prestigious program.

Frankly Koobear, I am surprised. I would have pegged you for an SUV driving, mechanical engineer who does the type of project mamagement that involves setting up copper refineries. I did not know you were a brilliant liberal arts student.

How silly of me to want to grammar slam with a person who has a dime a dozen degree (basically worthless which is no wonder you want to sponge off of those who have actual degrees worth the paper they are written on).

Also I suspect your not as great a creative writer as you like to fancy yourself because you do not understand sarcasm, which is what i was using when I posed the question, What is a Koobear? Of course I know it is your handle fatso. Now go gas up the Subaru, pluck the hair from your chin and go creatively manage a writing project....lol. WTF???

"we who love our God and guns are going to take control of this country that liberals have turned into a festering pool of ignorant morons. People like Damon (yeah, he's qualified to run his cakehole, all his movies suck ass) better be on the lookout! Viva la revolution."

It was in his convention speech - you already had your revolution (it started in 1996...Americans and history, don't get me started...). You gained control over all branches of government, both federally and at the state level. You spent as heavily as the Democrats before you, government grew even more than previously, and you showed corruption in all forms (especially, for some reason, furtive gay sex). McCain copped to all that in his speech, which was the only honest one at the convention. He wants to save your revolution by cleaning up his own party (he said that too). Although he didn't mention him by name, he did acknowledge that he'd be taking over after a 2-term Republican presidential administration (with a Republican majority in Congress for 6 of the 8 years).

Listen to your guy more and your gal less (she's a gimmick, don't take her too seriously).

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

#262 reasons why you're wrong:

1). you're french.

2). bush the senior did not go int o iraq for 2 main reasons
a. the goal of our alliance was to dispel hussien from kuwait
b. iraq would become a quagmire

don't blame the father for bush being irresponsible.

Well, if Matt Damon is for Balack Obama, as is Oprah, and countless other mega-rich celebrities, that tells me right there to vote for McCain/Palin. I have nothing in common whatsoever with these people. If they think Balack Obama is the answer to their prayers, he's definitely the anti-Christ to my prayers.

I hope all the sheeple in this country realize that these celebrity assholes don't give a damn about you or me...they want to protect their millions.

Just think about it.

So . #259.
Cheers.
The Others didn't answer the question.
Lost count # 1 - 267 plus
Inside job ?

great comments from both sides. let's remember we're all Americans and our disagreeing is a freedom our forefathers sacrificed for.

Off topic but what does everyone think about requiring a drug and alcohol test for people in order to receive public assistance such as welfare, food stamps and unemployment? If the recipient didn't pass they wouldn't receive money but had an option to get treatment.

#270

i agree. i welcome the debate from americans. euros and canucks can go to hell. i think we can all agree on that point.

Palin is being kept under extraordinarily tight wraps. I can't remember another time when a VP candidate was chosen and immediately declared off limits to questioning for an extended period of time. Even Dan Quayle got out on the campaign trail right away, without restrictions.

There are only two real possibilities: they're taking extreme care in trying to give Palin "talking points" and have her memorize lines and practice saying them in response to questions, all designed to show that she's not in strong conflict with McCain on lots issues, based on their respective records. Good luck with that, btw. The other possibility is that there will be some Palin news bombs coming out in the weeks leading up to the election, either related to her family or to her possible abuse of power while governor (and mayor, for that matter), and they're getting as ready as they can to deal with them proactively and not let them sink the campaign.

Either way, she needs to become an ordinary VP candidate. Right now, she's making McCain look weak, and at least to political strategists it looks like the Republican party hijacked the campaign to set themselves up for the NEXT election (using Palin to reestablish enthusiasm for the hard line rhetoric), essentially giving up on the current one. They don't care at all about McCain, and it shows.

#264...Do you feel all better now that you've belittled me? Is your MIT all validated now? Good for you!

so i never thought i'd say [type] this......but i agree with everything matt damon just said.

#267 *ahem * ...YOU are the one that is wrong.

1). I am NOT French, do not wish to be French, nor have I ever even set foot in France...

2). You completely missed my point WHICH WAS: not only did Bush JR. have the personal experience built on his own two terms, he also had the OPPORTUNITY to draw from his father's expiriences in office, and seek his advice and counsel. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are as successful as the team you assemble, and with all that "experience" to draw from, he STILL was the worst president in recent history.

We pay entertainers to entertain. I could care less about there Political Views!!!!! So Shut Your Pie Hole and Entertain Us!!!!!!

You Yanks still have to explain to me free fall collapse speed through undamaged steel structure.
Until then I'd say
'Inside job'
And believe me - everybody knows.

maaaaaatttttt daaaaaayminnnn

#263: "i am not voting for a parent. i am voting for a government."

No, you're not, and you know it. You're voting for a person. Why do you think McCain is trying to make this campaign about character? And as every parent knows, parenting reveals a lot about your character. McCain knows he's heading into this election on the wrong side of "government" but one the right side of character - nobody in their right mind would compare Obama favorably to McCain in terms of courage, fortitude, and commitment to service. They might, however, be sick and tired of how Republicans have been running the government for most of the last 8 years. So McCain's campaign is doing its best to turn media coverage away from policy issues and toward character issues. On that count, Palin isn't a "barracuda" (she's still reciting lines somebody else wrote for her and then hiding from questions) - except, maybe, if barracudas are known to eat their own young.

Your an outright idiot knee ya ha ha.

Basquait (or whatever) your probably French which goes a long way in explaining. We all know what a bunch of scaredy cats you are. You would rather join (bend over) and agree (take it) than cause a ripple. You would never understand the fortitude a person like McCain possess which made him withstand countless torments at the hands of the enemy w/o giving in. Take your loud applause elsewhere, hard working Americans don't give two shits.

#275

basquiat (i thought was referring to artist jean-michel basquiat) is obviously a french name. however i sincerely apologize and would never demean someone by falsely calling them french. forgive me, please.

bush failed because he DID listen to his father. he thought he could achieve what his father knew to be true, iraq would be a quagmire. perhaps we are saying the same thing, just differently. bush, the son, was a failure.

In which episode he's in?

It's disgusting what a little game politics is. If the Republicans didn't need to so desperately try to pull in some of the female voters, no one would have a clue who Sarah Palin is. She would go on to continue to parent her children and hopefully devote some time to raising them well this time instead of chasing her own ego-trip. Do you really think this woman can devote the amount of time needed to run a country when she has 5 children and a newborn with down-syndrome? If you think she can, then you can just assume that she doesn't care to be there to partake in the raising of those children which actually may be a benefit to them, all things considered. The simple fact is, if John McCain actually thought he could win, he would have chosen a VP that is a qualified candidate. Instead we see a disgusting display of politics at its best, assuming that female voters are so idiotic and hard up to have a woman in the white house that adding Palin to the ticket would save their ass and pull in the Hillary votes. Ridiculous. Go home and raise your children and practice what you preach, Palin.

Here's the bad Disney movie: Comminity organzing HALF-black man from Chicago with no executive experience gets elected President and has to use all his mad street skills to face down Vladimir Putin and show him how its down on the South Side of Chicago. How come ball-sacks like Matt Damon don't see the absurdity of THAT movie?!

No Koobear, it does not feel good. But you asked for it to a degree. Don't dish if you can't take.....you know the spill. I am tired. Do not reply, I am done. Sorry if I offended, I am sure you are good at what you do.

Goodbye.

To see Matt Damon's greatest acting performance, check out Team America. I don't usually enjoy actors playing themselves...

Well, before McCain does kick, She'll make a fine Marge to his Grandpa Simpson.

#279-
They might, however, be sick and tired of how Republicans have been running the government for most of the last 8 years.

i do not lump mccain in with the failings of bush. i am fully able to seperate the two. (bush began horrible rumors about mccain in 2000 (extramarital affair producing a black child when in truth the mccains adopted a horribly disfigured baby and provided medical care for her)).

what kind of parent is john edwards? his wife is dying, yet he wanted the spotlight for himself. what kind of parent was ted kennedy? It's a double standard-you would never hold a man to the same litmus test and i won't even accept it as an argument. as a woman, neither should you.

as i said-i'm not voting for her as my mom. i'm not voting for her for anything. she isn't running for president

By the way, I love how everyone knocks Obama for lack of experience. What the F**K kind of experience did George W have and we elected his sorry ass twice? The difference is that George W is a self serving prick and when decisions needed to made, it wasn't lack of experience that drove our country into the sorry state that it is now, it was his ideals, his beliefs, and his interest in personal gain.

So what you trying to say here ? # 280 ?
Inside job ?
We're still here kiddo
Having any probs with free fall collapse speed ?

#283
you are despicable. tell me what men are good parents and good politicians.

i'll bet you never even gave it a thought.

if you hate sarah palin, the candidate, then hate her. but her parenting is quite frankly none of your fucking business

Shut up and act you fucking loser.

It scares me that people who know how to work the internet think Palin would make a great president. You guys think that we democrats are all a bunch of elitist snobs, and OK, maybe you have a point. Because it's true--I really think that you're an closet-racist moron-creationist USA USA USA inbred elk hunting hillbilly...gee maybe I am judgmental

Yes Binky it was an inside job. Remember the little retard just sat there reading to children for 8 minutes after he knew that Cheney and the boys pulled it off! Explain that one you hooked nose Steve Ackerman! (long winded liar)
This fortunate son graduated 980 out of 984 hahaha he is dumb like the majority of republican types . The smart ones are all evil. Could care less about nothing other than their money.
Obama graduated from Harvard you dirty coniving sons and daughters of pigs and apes. McCain is a moron and does not understand economics and Palin is an unfit mother. How can someone not qualified to properly raise her own children be fit for any official duty?

Republicans are a scourge and are not bright enough to understand the subterfuge that enmeshes our political realm. We are all slaves of sorts and becoming more so day by miserable day.

911 should scare us all. I hope you limp wristed right wing wackos have an answer to what Rumsfeld said about us growing too complacent and needing another terrorist attack. What more need be said?

Inside Job.

One last thing about the "inside job" cunts that keep braying like jackasses every few posts. You are annoying for no reason, sort of like a small dog tied to a tree just mindlessly yapping away at anything and nothing. I hope you find relief from your mental illness, so that you can lead productive and meaningful lives, possibly hold jobs and find spouses (but please don't reproduce, it's the responsible thing.) Hopefully they will find the right medication so you can begin to make sense to your fellow humans. Cheers!

goddammit. Its "actuarial tables" not "actuary tables."
Also, even if McCain is older, that means he has the resources to keep himself healthy, unlike the majority of obese McAmerica. MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT.
matt damon can gfh.

Matt Damon is a tool. No one cares about his political views. He should stick with acting which he does only marginally well. You go Sarah!!!

First off..Melissa, you're an idiot. Celebrities are people too and they have just as much right to voice their political opinions as you or i. However that being said, if you let Matt Damon sway your vote one way or the other, well, lets just say you should take a butcher's knife and slice off your hand right now so you cant pull that lever or press that button on election day.

You are free to love your god and love your guns, Obama never said you couldnt but just because he's not some assclown that runs out there and kills animals for the fuck of it, doesnt mean he shouldn't run the country. Jesus christ, i wish all you god damn republicans would take your heads out of your asses when it comes to gun control. Own a fucking gun, no one cares, but theres a hell of a lot more important things in this country/world so again, if you're going to let that be a deciding factor for you on election day, sharpen that bitcher's knife and just lob that hand right off.

Get used to it folks. Marshal Law will be the order of the day when the oil runs out and don't doubt if for a minute as that day is coming too soon. We will have another 911 type incident which will coerce our so called leaders (puppets doing the verbal bidding or putting on a show for the dumb fucks) to enforce draconian societal restrictions.
Don't think so right wing idiots? I suggest you read a bit more and put that idiotic bible down.

Ooops. One more thing: YES, # 290 as a matter of fact, I AM having trouble with free fall collapse speed. Would you be so kind as to demonstrate and find the nearest 10 story building and take a flying leap off of it and tell me what theorems you'll be able to prove or disprove? Bring all who share your gene pool and I'll bring the protractor, compass and notebook to document the data for you while at ground level. I'm sure it will be so successful, it will make the front page the next day. You'll be hailed as a hero (at least by me anyway). Can't wait !

So, on that CELEBRITY Republican ticket (that's what it is now, ironically enough), what's the number one REAL issue? Paying for tax cuts by eliminating pork-barrel spending. If they get their way, McCain/Palin will drive port-barrel politicians out of business!

That would have included Mayor Palin, back in 2001:

"...when Palin served as mayor of her hometown of Wasilla, outside Anchorage, she obtained about $27 million in federal "earmarks" during her last four years in office, according to the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.

In a 2001 statement opposing a transportation spending bill McCain singled out for criticism about $3 million worth of those projects. McCain's list of "objectionable" spending included a $2.5 million road project for the town that then had a population of 5,500, as well as a $450,000 appropriation for an agricultural processing plant there."

So, as John Kerry might have put it, McCain was actually AGAINST Palin before he was FOR her.

Less than a year ago he was also against her absolute view on abortion (make it illegal in all cases, including rape and incest), which is the one that's fired up the "Republican base" the most. He's still against the windfall tax she levied on oil companies in Alaska last year - it's what the Democrats are proposing to do.

They've got quite a lot of white washing to do, no wonder they're keeping her away from questions. Ever since the pipeline was built, Alaska has functioned as an oil-industry territory, which led to tremendous corruption in the puppet-like state government. Palin deserves credit for successfully challenging that sorry state of affairs. But what she did was to stick it to (oil) corporate control over government, while penalizing the industry giants with windfall taxes that led to hugely popular rebate checks for citizens. It doesn't get any more Democratic than that.

Obama served in the Illinois Senate for 8 years before being elected to the U.S Senate in 2004. So that's 8 years of experience making important decisions on the earned income tax credit, health care, etc. in a state of 13 million people vs. 8 years of experience deciding what company will pick up the garbage for residents in a town of 8,000. Hmmm, that's a tough choice...

#288: "what kind of parent is john edwards? his wife is dying, yet he wanted the spotlight for himself. what kind of parent was ted kennedy? It's a double standard-you would never hold a man to the same litmus test and i won't even accept it as an argument. as a woman, neither should you"

Palin is running as a self-described "HOCKEY MOM". They put the issue into play by trumpeting it - over and over again, at the convention and ever since, by Palin herself and by McCain and others with the campaign. It's being presented as the key feature of her personality and her life, as a person and a politician.

The men you describe, and also McCain himself, have admitted to being very flawed and imperfect parents. Palin is making it the centerpiece of how she presents herself to the American public.

But, I do love the newfound zeal that conservatives suddenly have for feminism (accusations of bias or double-standards), as well as for supporting teen pregnancy. It seems like it won't matter who wins, since liberalism itself is being embraced by both parties...unless one party is lying through its teeth?

Seems like a lot of folks are too busy criticizing Obama to catch the point. Criticism is good to a point, but not when it blinds you to the issue at hand. The issue at hand is Palin, who was chosen PURELY for political expediency as a means to pull the female vote. Having looked at her record and her personal views, I can honestly say I can't think of a worse person to have one heartbeat away from the presidency. Her connection with Dominionism alone makes me apprehensive.

Matt Damon my be an actor and is probably left-wing at least to a degree, but that doesn't make his observations any less valid.

You are missing the point Matt.

Obama has zero experience NOW. He is no way qualified to be CIC..that is why he picked Biden. If McCain dies....Palin would do the same and pick a republican "Biden" . It's called balancing the ticket. BTW did you know Biden has had 3 aneurysms? Talk about dying. If Biden dies who is going to guide Obama...obviously they will get a replacement that can handle it...just like SP would!

This is just the way the game is played. Remember who started this...the dems - when they threw Hilary (a qualified candidate) under the bus for the empty suit. Then they did it again when they didn't pick her as VP.

Don't go crying now and putting Palin down. She didn't ask for the role and she and her state were happily rolling along. The strategy in picking her will win Mc Cain the election. That is all Obama wanted to do by picking Biden. Biden is the last person you would chose for "change". He is a dinosaur of the old boys club - business as usual..

McCain was brilliant in this poltical manuever...and be honest that is what both sides are about. It shows me he can outwit and out think Obama. I'll take McCain to be our Commander any day - come on who do you trust with the military - no contest. Palin was a chess move and it's check mate to Obama.

Guess what - the repubs threw out the bait and all of you dems are taking it focusing on Palin. It'll be too late before you learn about backlash!

Case in point - Repub stragegy is winning when all of the dems are up in arms about the VP pick!

If the GOP put up a yellow (bulldog) dog for President or VP they would vote for it, the nominated VP S. Palin does not believe in women's rights, clearly does not believe in free speech, is vindictive, and holds a grudge to the point she becomes unbalanced. Does not believe in sex education - no surprise daughter got pregnant, this really amounts to child abuse and irresponsible parenting, believes the absolute and utter nonsense the world was created 4000 years ago, clearly is uneducable. Hears voices somebody or something speaks to her, she says it is God but can we be certain, mental health is more than suspect.

Just what the US needs a good ole gal hearing voices - a very bad choice for VP and possible President. Would you really trust this person to be in charge of of the US nuclear arsenal or really anything at all that mattered?

How completely ironic that Damon lives in abject fear that Palin will have to take over the presidency. You see, even if McCain does die in 2 years, she will have had 2 years training as vice president. On the other hand, he is advocating putting Obama into the White house for on the job training. This has to be a parody. Disney movie? Hell, it's a fucking Marx brother's movie.

We have to elect the Groucho ticket. Even though he has no qualifications to be president, his only executive experience is over his brothers but if we elect the incumbant ticket, then we will end up with Harpo as VP which would be a tragedy as he has no experience to be POTUS if the head of the ticket, old man Finnegan kicks the bucket. So let's elect a neophyte rather than taking the chance of getting a loser later on.

Oh. And hate to be on topic - but cheers to Matt

lmao@"all of you bleeding heart Democrats".

Not "liberal commies" anymore, apparently, but all Democrats, fully one half of the American people (according to national study in 2008). But why be so inhibited, why not expand it even more, and only allow bloodthirsty speaking-in-tongues Palinites to continue living? After all, there are lots of commie-liberals trying to fake it on the Republican side, like Arlen Specter and, uh, I dunno, John McCain.

whoops.

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Matt Damon says if you look up the actuarial tables there is a one in three chance that McCain will die within the next four years.

Damon then boldly challenges us to "do the actuarial tables".

Well, I did...and Damon is off...WAY off.

The actuarial tables supplied by the U.S. government indicate a one in seven chance, NOT a one in three chance.

Take a look at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html

If you add up the four years for males from ages 72 to 75 you get 0.151985 which translates to about 1/7th or one in 7.

Say America, by the way - 9/11 was an inside job .

Matt Damon just got it right.
In general, the way the vice-president is chosen in the US is contradictory to the way the presidential candidate is chosen. Not being from the US myself, I always found it fascinating that so much money is spent to get a broad, democratic legitimation for a presidential candidate - and then the vice-president is chosen by an elitist group. Maybe it is just one of the paradoxes you can find when a you have a traditional system, so it is a bad thing stemming from a good thing Americans can be proud of. Still, it is a bad thing. And Matt Damon's imagination just explained why.

Oh Kenny, I forgot to ask if you would like a hand job. I know a lot about gravity and resistance and the proper amount of friction. I could also throw in a rim job if you're interested. (Have you ever had an "inside" rim job?)
I promise it would be gr8. U American? I would love you long time. I could teach you the physics of molten colonics and free fall collapse speed of testicle on rectum action. Your American government does not want you to know the sweet, sweet love of another mans pooper.

He's an actor and like ALL actors he lives in a fantasy world. All make believe. Okay, Matt, and any of you other actors out there, with out trashing the current administration tell me why I should vote for Obama/Biden. Just what IS the "change" he plans??? How is he going to implement this change??? Does anybody out there know this? It's odd that his pick for running mate represents all of the things he alludes to wanting to change. My goodness they've had the house for quite a while now and I see no change at all. Hey, no matter what your opinions are just get out there and vote. Remember people! It's a government OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people.
The Wheezy

hmmm...

Obama, a centrist democrat Senator, gets assassinated and Joe Biden, who's a bit nutty and has as much experience as McCain in the senate, becomes president .

McCain, a centrist republican senator, dies of old age (either first or second term) and the governor of a state with 670,000, who was previously mayor of a town of 7, 000 residents, and no foreign affairs voting record in any federal level becomes president...

President Palin? SO not a problem. Better the "folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink" than the Socialist bilge Barry picked up in his previous lives, all of which are off limits to inquiry. There must be a reason why all we know about his past comes from those two books he wrote while he was supposed to be doing the job he was elected to do. Although I have to concede that the less Congress does, the more freedom we have...

See ya in '12, flatliners! Try mounting a real campaign next time -- you know, with a candidate who actually knows stuff instead of some Mystery Man who thinks there are 57 states and thought the US liberated Poland in WWII. Yeah, that would explain why Poland then spent the next four decades under the Soviet thumb. (DURRR!) That's foreign policy experience?

Knee Ya Ha Ha - thanks for the wake up call. I never knew a Republican Zionist fisting could be so blissfully transcendant. We need to wake the American sheep up to the glories of man on man love, and the conspiracy of silence and shame that keeps it so deliciously taboo. Let's tell the world about the love that shall be kept secret no longer! You are so right. Everything for me was so fake until now, and now my eyes are open to a new reality. Shine the light into the darkness, my brother (What I mean is would you mind sticking a flashlight into my rectum?).

Right on, Matt!

Palin's qualifications - Mayor, Govenor, Armed Forces Service, History of Combating Corruption, Children Serving in Wartime (not really a qulification but a nice change of pace McCain too)

Obama Qualifications - Written two books about himself, served 140 days in the senate (without passing a single major piece of legislation), has racist pastor of 20 years, friend of terrorist Bill Ayers and Tony Rezco, non-tenured, part-time law professor..

You make the call.

wow, matt damon i love you, and yes!!! palin, although hot, comes from an evangelical fucking nutcase background and should not be let anywhere near more responsibility than a chia pet at most

I get sick of hearing people say that Obama has no "executive experience" (brainlessly repeating that same old line). I'm vastly impressed that he has created an organization that has brought in - what - $150 million of small contributions? It's taken incredible chutzpah to pull that off. He is, to any intents and purposes, the CEO of a fantastically successful new corporation and he's doing as well or better than I've seen anyone else, against all odds. Damn, I need some of that Community Organizing experience.

So stick that "executive experience" in your pipe and smoke it. Sarah Palin couldn't do that if she had a pound of wasabi up her ass and a team of pit bull sled dogs with lipstick.

Wow. Just wow.

Who do you think will be better discussing current affairs with other world leaders? Who do you think has the better ideas on how to solve current problems? Who can convince Congress and the House to support and sign into legislature those solutions? Who will pick the better Cabinet, assign the more qualified people into department positions, will work with the right people and ask the right questions?

Who is not afraid to discuss actual, current problems and issues at hand? Who is holding themselves accountable for their mistakes and learning from them? It's not all about who has the most experience.

Come on people! I can only hope most of you aren't old enough to vote yet.

Now, I'm going back to looking at boobs.

LOL! The pukes have their soldiers out in full force everywhere it seems. Matt Damon fucking nailed it! Just look how stupid all the pro-Palin posts are. These people are the fucking bottom of the barrel folks. Vote Obama-Biden 08'

Dear Matt Damon,

You've completely earned my respect.

I know whenever I want to be informed about the issues of the day, I immediately think to myself, "I wonder what Matt Damon's opinion is? Because Matt matters!"

And life expectancy/actuarial facts, too. I always turn to Matt Damon.

Hey, you pro-Palin asshats.

First of all, Obama's second book isn't an autobiography, dillweeds. It's about POLICY. Do y'all know what that is, or do you just parrot all the tighty-righty talking points?

Second, here's some stuff Obama's done while a legislator in the State and US Senate:

he got bipartisan support in Illinois for police to videotape interrogations - a big deal, since almost everyone was initially against it.

pushed through an earned-income tax credit to help the working poor

worked on an ethics campaign finance law to force disclosure

worked to have more transparency in government

worked to restrict no-bid contracts

worked on a lobbying reform law, again to provide more disclosure

worked on an anti-gang initiative

worked on the war de-escalation act, federal funding accountability and transparency act

worked hard on energy issues, to invest in renewable fuels

Not bad for someone without, uh, "executive experience."

3. All your pissing and moaning about celebrities speaking up about politics, they have as much right to speak up as you fuckwits do. They're members of the human race, and especially if they're US citizens, it's their right if not their obligation to have an opinion about their government and their country. I don't see you assholes complaining when a right-leaning celebrity like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Fred Thompson or Clint Eastwood or Ronald Reagan or Sonny fuckin' Bono BECOMES a politician, but god forbid when Alec Baldwin or Ben Affleck or Matt Damon shoot their mouths off. Hypocrites. You're all a bunch of hypocrites with your heads buried so far up your damn asses that you can't see the forest for the trees.

I've never been a Matt Damon fan, and still probably won't see those Jason Bourne movies, but I'm glad he's spoken out.

What is the difference between a pit-bull and Sarah Palin?

- You can have the pit-bull spayed (Palin still has a choice!)
- You can't go to jail for making Sarah Palin fight...
- Pit bulls don't believe the earth is 5,000 years old...

I like it when so-called Hollywood pigs think they are politicians. They should stick to their movie careers and leave politics to people like these: http://www.javawug.com .

These guys know how to portray politicians in their true color.

I fucking love that comment, man!
so straight forward
right on point, point blank
no BS
scary true
you know what? fuck Palin, alright?

we're doomed!

1. McCain has insulted women voters and Clinton supporters by assuming that the only thing we care about is gender. We supported Clinton because she was the best for the job. We're not looking for tits to rule the country.
2. The difference between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin is this: Yes, Obama lacks executive experience and has had a short time as Senator. Having recognized this weakness, he chose a VP that allows him to have a support system of experience. The primary problem with Palin is when McCain kicks the bucket (inevitable), we are left with someone with zero experience, who cannot be relied upon to carry our country forward.
3. I don't think Damon in this case was saying he believed the fact that Palin thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago or engaged in banning books - he was ASKING whether that was the case, which is a perfectly reasonable inquiry. We should know if that's what she believes and does, and if she doesn't, that's great. It's just something the public deserves to know.
4. Having said my piece on experience, it's also important to note that experience isn't everything in presidential politics. We need to know their policies, and the direction they want to take the country. A lot of what the president will do is support (or veto) the work of the legislature. What we know about Palin is the big issues (pro-gun, anti-choice, etc). But what are her positions on the less extreme issues, the less media-spun ones? Obama has let us know where he stands - what are Palin's positions?
5. Americans need to move past the notion that we are better than everyone else. Under Bill Clinton, we were the big brother to the world, who looked after other countries in trouble. Under Bush, we have become a demon, a self-righteous, arrogant dictatorial international force. The question is, where do you want your country on the international stage, and who will get us there? Isolationism is no longer an option.

So # 375 Troll.
Try and get your mind off topics like 'fisting'
(this is a Matt Damon thread)
Inside job ?

80% think the country is heading towards the wrong direction and even considers McSame?
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. " - Einstein.

Ok, enough of this political BS. Where are the Julianna Margulies pictures?

I'm fucking Matt Damon. Fact.

DO U LOT EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR PRESIDENT IS AT THE MOMENT...HELLO??? HE IS A DICK. NEVERMIND WHO IT WILL BE, LOOK AT YOUR TRACK RECORD. NOT ONLY DID YOU ELECT A MONKEY IN COWBOY BOOTS WHO BOMBED THE SHIT OUT OF IRAQ (WHO WERE NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. HE WAS JUST FINISHING WHAT HIS DADDY STARTED) BUT YOU RE-ELECTED HIM!! YOU CAN'T BE TRUSTED, YOU ARE IDIOTS WHO CAN'T SEE FUTHER THAN THE US AND YOUR OWN NOSES.
YOU DIDNT EVEN REALISE YOU WERE MORTAL TIL 9/11. ARROGANT AMERICANS THINKING THEY'RE INDESTRUCTIBLE. WAKE UP FOR GOD'S SAKE.YOUR POLITICS ARE ALL REPUBLICANS COMPARED TO WORLD POLITICS. DEMOCRATS/REPUBLICANS...IN THE US IT'S ONE BIG CHEERLEADING POPULARITY CONTEST, LIKE SCHOOL KIDS.
I DONT CARE ABOUT THIS PALIN ARGUMENT...IM SCARED THAT AMERICA HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AT ALL. KNOWING YOUR LOT, THE JANITOR MIGHT LAUNCH THEM THINKING IT'S THE DOOR RELEASE BUTTON HE'S PRESSING.

Mat t damon is from Cambridge, Ma, also known as gound zero for liberal nut jobs. Nott surprised. . Obama is nothing more than a black racist t, with lots of cute little catch prases

HES SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I give a shit what Matt (or any other actor for that matter) thinks about his political preference??? He is only good for acting and promoting movies.... DANCE MONKEY DANCE!!!!!

It seems like these celebrity's just can't keep their political opinions to them selves. Instead of talking about their work, they continue to spew their banquet of BS. They should just stick to what they know and keep their big mouths shut. The only thing Matt has accomplished is ability to lower his fan base by this biased comment. Jerk!

Good for Matt for not kissing this bimbo's redneck ass like 99% of the other white people in this country.

So some of you look to Matt Damon as a political mentor.

'nuff said.

I love it when people like him and Alec, Barbra, Rosie, etc... tak down Republicans. Helps us win everytime. lol!

I'll be 400. Matt Damon's comments only help Palin get elected. He should take a queue from Clooney.

matt is so right. we would be better off with a nigger and his lil fros running through the halls of the white house

Matt Damon should act and keep his mouth shut. I am tired of listening to millionaires dictate what should happen. Idiot.

C'mon people. Never mind Matt Damon, but Palin sure as hell scares the hell out of me. Seen from Europe, she's just RIDICULOUS. So c'mon , vote Mc Cain and in 15 years you'll be a nation of ass-poor IGNORANT rednecks, your only possible career in the military but hell, with 8.5 average children per family you'll be able to afford a little loss in the name of God and the USA.
Stupid... just plain idiots. Never learning, are u ?
C'mon Matt, get the hell outta there and pick a european nationality.
What really, REALLY angers me is that american rednecks get to choose the future of the World: bloody hell that choice will have a consequence worldwide, we all should be able to vote (i'm italian living in France and the UK). Just try to think about the whole picture for a start, OK ?

I'm learning so much about politics from all of these brilliant comments.

Matt Damon is not a stupid person...i for one agree with him, and am glad that me being Canadian, i dont have to make this tough choice that most of have to make.

I hope Palin gets to be president, that would be the final nail.On the other hand I don't want Russia andChina spillting the world, America I hate you, you're just no fun.

It just shows how stupid he is because all he has to do is a little reasearch that takes all of maybe 30 min and he will find out TONS about her. Has he even been watching tv or does he just vote liberal and not even make an effort to get to know the other candidate. Well all I know is Matt is out!

Last!!!!!! Ahhhh

It's funny how many of you lame @ss republicans only want to hear your own opinions. Celebrities are Americans and have the right to speak on any subject that affects them. You are just mad because noone is supporting your candidate. Get over it, free speech is here and you republicans are out. If you don't like their comments try reading a book. That is if it isn't banned by the "pitbull". Really people Obama's skin color is not a factor neither is Palin's gender. The point is she really does have a lot in common with a pitbull. She barks alot and if you don't be careful the bitch is going bite you in the @ss. It doesn't take a Harvard graduate or even a hgh school graduate to see she has no substance in what she says. I am a christian, but separation of church and state is the law. So please spare me the "God is Good" campaign she is trying to use to fool everyone into believing she should be VP. How religious is she anyway when she sees sport in hunting and killing innocent animals. Your time is near face it, and enjoy the benefits you will receive(even though you jack@sses don't deserve it) of a better economy and having our troops home instead of fighting for some damn oil.

Who cares what Tom Cruise has to say anyway

whew...

just finished the comments...and I have to say that was EPIC. However, I do feel a little disgusted with myself for sitting though 400+ comments, with only 4 or 5 worthwhile ones...

Just wanted to say, yes, your country is probably fucked, but to all the sensible ones (ie non McCain supporters) - I have a lovely little house in Spain where you can all hide and watch the destruction from afar!

Funny quote:
But completely ignorant;

No Damon- maybe you should recheck your Math, as an Actuary myself - McCain has more like an 86% chance of surviving his first term;

Chances of Obama making promises he can't follow through on, and making more of a celebrity statement than improving our nation (100%)

I find it amusing that unqualified politcal hacks from Hollywood talk about how unqualified a politician may be.

In this case, let's see.... she's the Governor of Alaska and running for VP. Matt Damon's been in a few movies.

Oh, ok, I get it.

Matt Damon is such an idiot. LIBERAL Hollywood idiot...\

1. mccain wont make it thru the first yr? (insult the old) - news flash - he isnt 99yrs old and our life expectancy has increased from 300yrs ago.

2. folksy? (insult people that like folk or feel folksy) - news flash, not everyone lives in california or nyc.

3. hockey moms (insult the hockey moms and all moms in general) - yeah, moms are too stupid to handle important affairs. MISOGYNIST!

way to insult you idiot. why dont you just crawl back into your million dollar mansion and leave us old, folksy,and moms alone!!!

keep your stupid mouth shut!

Who gives a SHIT what he thinks? I wouldn't let a Nl66ER run my company, I sure wont vote for one to run the country! You know he will not make a full term, so basically you are voting for Biden for President. EVEN SCARIER!

Ah Michelle you sound so bitter. You must be a white you dated a black man and he eventually rejected your redneck @ss get over it sweatheart.

7 years after SEPTEMBER 11 and you a-holes are voting to have a Muslim run our country. There needs to be another Revolution.

You already have a nigger running your country dumb@ss. Bush is the biggest nigger in America. And again what makes any of you rednecks qualified to make an opinion. I trust a Harvard graduate over a trailerpark resident. Matt lives here in America and that's what makes him qualified. Don't be jealous because he is asked his opinion, while you are blogging on superficial.

Guys,

OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM. If you read the newspapers, you would remember there was news about his MINISTER, which implies 1) he's a Christian and 2) actually attends church!

Glad to see everyone is keepin' up with the news!

Ah's ain't no Mawksist bitch! Ah's just tronna git mine, know ah'm sayin'? An' now Whitey be takin' it away agin. Jus' lok he always do.

Ah's spoze ta be da Prevadint Whitey! Y'all dint get da memo on dat ah don' tink.

Ah's be Changin' lok a MUHfuh. But no. Whitey be tronna gits mine.

Da novvatee dun wo offa dis muhfuh campane. An' ah gots nuh-in leff.

Ah may be oh-ganizin' kamunities agin soon fo SHO.

First of all Matt Damon, your comments have no intelligent basis to them. Governor Palin has run a government with around a $10 billion budget, over 20,000 employees, is head of the Alaskan National Guard and has went after 2 incumbent republicans.

In contrast, Senator Obama has been in the Senate for under 4 years, 3 of which he was campaigning for President, rather than concentrating on legislation to better the people. Oh and as far as Illinois's budget for a Senate, it is around $4.6 million and has around 50 employees. So please tell me who has had more executive experience. May I also add that in those 4 years, Senator Obama has not written, nor had one piece of legislation passed for his state, but has had time to write 2 BOOKS ABOUT HIMSELF!

I think in the end, people will realize how under qualified Senator Obama is and ultimately vote for a real ticket, McCain/Palin!

Totally agree with Matt Damon. And any female that is saying that it's offensive or sexist, Palin sets herself up for it. If she wasn't playing the gender card to get female votes, she wouldn't have her party referring to her as a pit bull. No man would do that. Hillary Clinton was the actual pit bull, but she didn't need that kind of hype to cover up for her shortcomings because she was actually a good candidate for the position, this all coming from a non-supporter of Clinton. We don't need another president we can "relate" to. The same people that felt Bush's idiosyncrasies were so cute and relatable are falling for Palin's ploy, and look at where Bush has got us...

Yea!!

I WANT MATT DAMON FOR PRETHIDENT

SO DOES BECCA!

HE IS SO SHMART AND HANDSTHOME!

I think the real question is this:

Is this the longest comment list ever without that RichRomances dick posting into it?

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and George Bush? Lipstick.

You can take a nig out of the business suit and he's still a nig. Fucking liberal morons....after the house and senate (both dem controlled) have recorded the lowest approval ratings in history, we'll see a landslide for the Oval office, and the house and senate.

And you fucking morons who think 9/11 was an inside job, go fuck yourselves. Every "myth" about 9/11that is out there has been debunked by Popular Science, except for the one about you fuck-heads being absolutley fucked in the head.

Now, all you fucking liberal fucks, fuck off you fucking fucks.

ooooohh *handbags*

Matt as an American has every right to voice his opinion, Republicans are just upset because they know that with these comments a lot of people will not be voting for McCain. Why can't people see that Palin is being use, it was very clever on McCain's part to pick a woman to be his running mate just to get all of Hilliary's supporters on his site. Lets just hope this doesn't backfire and this BITCH dooms us all.

Is Matt Damon even relevant? I think he should memorize The Daily Show's talking points better before he goes on TV with them.

Why does Matt Damon think we care about his political views? Shut the fuck up and keep making Bourne movies and leave politics to people with half a brain. He said he's scared of her because he "doesn't know anything about her."

Well, you fucking dumbass, why don't you read up then instead of waiting for CNN to tell you everything you want to know about her. Oh, wait, they already did. They told you she's evil and a bad mom. Shame on you, Sarah Palin, for being a woman trying to serve your country! Scary! Aaaah!

Matt' s right who want's an unstable female next to the red phone.

re: Big Joe 427

What about Bush's lowest approval rating in history? You really think we're going to vote McSame and Whore into the White House after Bush has LITERALLY ruined our country??

I normally hate when actors and the like comment on politics, cause they are dumb.... but, if Palin is "qualified" enough to be Vice President, then he is "qualified" enough to comment.
BTW Barack was vetted by the political system and the Democratic voters... she was vetted by a dude with a boner, a tumor on his neck and more gray hair on his balls than she has days in "office".

These dumb fking Hollyweird actors (who get paid to bring FICTION to life) need to sit down, STFU and be the academic dropouts they were in HS.

Sarah palin is going to wipe up the floor with Biden during the debates.
I can wait

Pass the popcorn

Yeah Sam #429 and the dems picked Obama to get the black vote you idiot. How do you have time to post on here with your busy schedule of tree hugging and plastering the back of your Prius with bumper stickers?

"I'M SCARED OF PALIN!!!!!!"

That's the only thing you hear from Dems, that they are scared... well, that proves that they are just fags, I mean, chicken-heads afraid of a pussy, I mean, a woman!

Joe nobody cares about your opinion. As a matter of fact who are you. Never mind, you don't matter anyway. It's not like you are a asset to society anyway. You really have nothing to offer, but a headache, a beer, and a doublewide. Oh and maybe a GED. Or are you still working on that?

Humm, too bad, I once liked this guys movies, now I will always remember him for his comments about Alaska’s Governor. He has obviously been brainwashed by the Hollywood Clooney types and the elite left media. Hey, Damon, stick to acting and quit wearing your asshole on your sleeve.

Why does this wanker think what he knows anything about politics? Why do any of these Hollywood left wing whiners think they know anything about politics? Better yet, why do they think we care what they think? Just shut the F*** up and try to make a good movie. Keep politics off the board.

How about doing some research on who she is asshole!

@436 In my comment I never said anything about supporting Obama did I, typical of people like you to turn shit around. Of course the Democrats picked Obama to gain the minority vote and also people with white guilt. FYI I drive a SUV and the only bumper sticker I have is "I Gave your Mom a Dirty Sanchez and She Loved it"

Ok, I'll keep this one quite simple...

It really doesn't matter who wins, because politicians only care about passing short-term policies that don't really help any situation, apart from to gain them popularity and hopefully (for them) a repeat term in office. Not one politician is ever going to effect the kind of far-reaching long term strategies needed to solve a lot of today's major crises, because it does not directly benefit them.

This whole sordid saga will probably always continue, so before blaming blacks, homosexuals, liberals or democrats, stop, take a deep breath, and think 'whose fault is this?' - answer - the politicians themselves!!!

SECOND RATE ACTOR MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT SOMETHING HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT. WHAT ABOUT A MAN THAT ONLY HAS SPECT 143 DAYS (5 MONTHS) IN THE SENATE AND NOW CONSIDERS HIMSELF QUALIFIED TO RUN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. AT LEAST SHE HAS QUALIFICATIONS THAT HE CAN'T MATCH. THESE BRAINLESS ACTORS NEED TO JUST SHUT UP!

WHAT ABOUT A MAN THAT ONLY HAS SPECT 143 DAYS (5 MONTHS) IN THE SENATE AND NOW CONSIDERS HIMSELF QUALIFIED TO RUN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. AT LEAST SHE HAS QUALIFICATIONS THAT HE CAN'T MATCH. THESE BRAINLESS ACTORS NEED TO JUST SHUT UP!

#436 the people picked Obama in an election dumb@ss not the Dems. McCrotch picked Palin for female votes.

I haven't read every comment made here... But the first 100 or so that I browsed were interesting.

Personally, I've never been a huge fan of celebrities publicly discussing politics, but the U.S. is considered a free country which means that people have the right to express their opinions - and what makes any one person less qualified to express their opinion than another? Who honestly knows what kind of research or interest Matt Damon has in the elections?

Furthermore, there were quite a few comments made about Matt Damon not doing his homework as far as the dinosaur/book burning remarks were concerned - but he specifically says that he wants to know if those are true - implying not that he believes them to be true, but that he's heard them and is concerned.

I'm Canadian so while American politics does affect me to an extent, it's not my primary concern at this time. But there has been quite a lot of political commentary made as far as Obama, McCain and Palin's records and how scary it would be or how the U.S. would be making a mistake/headed to disaster if so-and-so was elected...

One comment made about Obama wanting to follow in FDR, JFK, etc.'s footsteps sticks out as somewhat unfair, simply because many people considered George Bush Jr. being elected as a mistake and yet it happened twice. The presidential record for the U.S. is littered with what people think are mistakes - it's all a matter of opinion, isn't it? And isn't one of the main tenets of the American Constitution the right to freedom of expression?

For someone who doesn't know a hell of a lot he sure lets his opinion know. Dumb butt, do the research. Get INFORMED!!! The election is in little more than two months. There's time to not so stupid. Maybe then you won't have to kept saying 'you don't know'.

Hmm, yeah, I guess celebrities don't know the first thing about politics. They are just actors; they can't form opinions like you and I. It's scary that they are even allowed to vote. I'm just glad we don't allow them anywhere near office...oh wait. what? I was just informed that Gov. Arnold Shwartznager was once a popular actor, as well as Ronald Regan. So do their opinions only matter because they are Republicans?

Vote for Obama!

wow... really... WOW! Matt Damon is bigger idiot than i ever thought he was... what a fucking moron... just another reason to endorse McCain/Palin... aka the conservative vs. liberal way.... the liberals always have to call you names and make fun of you and try to humiliate you... conservatives just show you that you're wrong... again, what a jackass

Go Matt! Thank you, someone in the media is finally saying it!! By the way, he has a right to his opinion just like every human being!

lastly... everyone is so scared of Sarah Palin...?????? why????? really, i'd like to know... i have more respect for her than i do any other politician out there... she's a real individual... there's no reason to be scared... what i love is how terrified the feminist left is of her... "OMG a TRUE independent thinking woman... whatever do we do?!?!?!?!?"

why isn't anyone scared of Osama (sorry... Obama)? the man who promises change, but won't tell you what those changes are...

bring Obama in... three things will happen... First, half this country will expatriate to Canada... Second, we will be under the rule of a socialist dictator... Lastly, he will more than likely be removed from office, whether it be assassination or just his uncanny idea of politics...

I used to like Matt Damon...but now I realized he is just as stupid and annoying as Ben Affleck.

"wow... really... WOW! Matt Damon is bigger idiot than i ever thought he was... what a fucking moron... just another reason to endorse McCain/Palin... aka the conservative vs. liberal way.... the liberals always have to call you names and make fun of you and try to humiliate you... conservatives just show you that you're wrong... again, what a jackass"

yep, 'jackass' isn't calling names....

Let's spend more time researching the candidates & less time commenting on celeb web sites.

Lets face it, Damon is right. A woman can't do the job. Women are soft and actually are not as smart as men.

Hey Matt, yeah she's a real independent thinker all right...as in, Alaskan Independence from our country. I'm sure as the good family lady she is, she supported her husband in his quest for Alaska's secession from the US. Or did you mean she's independent in thinking that it's a wise decision to drill for oil in one of our country's most beautiful landscapes? Because I'm pretty sure no one intelligent is with her on that one... Your comments about Obama prove that you are so ignorant that your opinion has no credibility. Good bye!

who does actuary tables? and who says actuary tables? think about it.

I actually like Palin - but I'm Canadian and I don't follow U.S. politics that closely. Agree or disagree with what Matt said, I find him hilariously funny and I think that sounds like an AWESOME idea for a new Walt Disney movie - hee!

Matt Damon...

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Inf fact, you bring up some good talking points. That said, you are an idiot. Look at the list of books Palin allegedly banned...many of them were published when she was no longer the mayor. Start diversifying your news sources...the Daily Show alone just isn't cutting it.

Regardless of the fact that Damon is a celeb, he has a right to his opinion. In this case, I completely agree with him. Palin has horrible views on the environment, economy and women's issues, and is definitely not qualified to be VP.

MATT DAMON

I'm fucking Matt Damon. Right now. And he fucking LOVES it.

Good point, Matt....An even scarier thought is if something happened to Ben Affleck or George Clooney....where would he get his opinions?

Ok, so a college drop out who got lucky in Hollywood playing other people and having a standin do the difficult stunts is criticizing someone who held a real job. The Bourne Idiocy.

@453
"Half the country will expatriate to Canada"

You're saying the old white racist Republicans will leave their beloved U-S-of-A because their President is half-black? And go to Canada, the most tolerant country on Earth? Fuck. Time to close the largest undefended border in the world.

any change will be an improvement over the Chimp your country has put in office for the last two terms....or wait....did he steal the office....hmmmm.....too bad your political system is about as advanced as your partisan 2 party system....it is amazing to sit on the outside as a Canadian....and look at what are clearly democrats lauding Matt Damon....and republicans calling him an idiot.... you guys should be embarrassed at what has happened to the United States in the last 8 years....on an international scale....your economy, your currency, your education systems.....all in turmoil....and yet there are people still looking to support the desparation that is McCain and Palin....because they are repubican....the true crime in all of this....is the lack of thinking on the part of so many intelligent people

@ #379

Wow - I thought Republican's would be WAY behind Obama with an impressive resume like that. It looks really close George W. Bushs or Sarah Palin's when you put in that context.

Looks to be an even match.

what an idiot...and i thought it was the liberals in this country that were the ones for the womens rights thing and the femanists!!! just goes to show what its all about... he is an idiot who cant act... and what happens if the muslim gets in office!!?? yeah, thats a good thing for the country too right???

AND THE WINNER IS.....#443.

This country owes it to African Americans to lift their racial self esteem by electing the first president of color. White fat cats have oppressed them for 600 years. From his work as a community organizer and as a civil rights professor, Obama will ensure that they receive the financial support they need. In this year alone, as a Senator, he authored resolutions including:

- that a commemorative postage stamp honoring Rosa Louise McCauley Parks should be issued;

- honoring the life of Percy Lavon Julian, a pioneer in the field of organic chemistry and first African American to be inducted into the National Academy of Sciences; and

- honoring the achievements of Carl Stokes, the first African American mayor of a major American city, in the 40th year anniversary of his election as mayor of Cleveland, Ohio.

As a representative of the youth of America, I believe that we have the power to make Barack Obama the Martin Luther King, Jr. of our generation. Make Obama's dream a reality. Vote Obama / Biden in 2008.

Yup, Repuglicans are defensive little ninnies. Thanks guys for proving my point!

And McCain is a failure . . . bad pilot, bad husband, bad politician.

Wow. What fun it must be to be Matt Damon's wife. He is very sexist. I feel bad for his daughters.

Wow, because we really know a lot about Barack Obama with his whopping less than a year in senate. I mean, being in charge of projects is important... I once worked on a habitat for humanity house for a weekend, can I be President too since I am a transexual blackish india, kinda tiger woods'ish guyish girl thing?

Fuck Sarah Palin!

476 replies?

I didn't even think this site had 476 readers.

Matt Damon was being honest and I agree. Palin goes to a church where they believe the Iraqi war is necessary for the return of Christ. Do you really want someone like this in the White House? Palin believes she has a direct line to God.

Uh...so Matt Damon sez she sux cuz she's a girl?

Dickhead.

#389

you are an idiot.

:Americans need to move past the notion that we are better than everyone else.

you are an idiot. why do we need to think that? we are better than everyone else. we may not always succeed and are not always perfect, however we have the overall best intentions of any other country. why are liberals always so quick to put the US down or act embarrassed they are american.

i am very proud of this country. it is a shame you are not.

BTW-
john mccain's mom is 96 years old. how the fuck do you know it's inevitable?

I cannot believe how dumb the majority of America is. It truely has the most corrupt politicians. Why can't you vote in the obvious choice to make your country better and bring it back to the prominence it held around the world when Clinton left office. Republicans are all about the mighty dollar, not for everybody but just rich white men. They do not want to share the wealth, they don't care about the common citizen and how fucked we are. How do you take the biggest surplus and wittle it down to a 4 billion $ deficit? Well you line the pockets off all your frineds big companies with large defense contracts for a fake war. We the unwilling, led by the unknown, are doing the unthinkable for the ungrateful. Understand that this means the common citizen makes the country turn and helps those rich white men get richer but get jack shit in return, get the highest unemployment rates in years, get raped by the government. The rest of the country gets burned and the Democrats are pussies who won't fight dirty like the republicans do so they end up trashed in the views of most americans.

OK sheeple, you can relax now. Juan McCainez, Sarah Palin, Jew Biden, Barking Obongo and Matt Demon are all jew meat puppets. They will take their orders from Tel Aviv, not you, you stupid talmudvision watching Woolite drinking sheeple.

...cause matt damon knows stuff about politics...no, he doesnt. hes just another dumb celebrity because all celebrities are democrats...because theyre dumb.

If a woman votes for a woman simply because she is a woman, and not because of the issues, than there is a fundamental problem in the education of people in our country. This should not be about gender or race, it should be about repairing a once great nation.

Mccain voted with Bush 91% of the time. They have the same politics. If a voter, man or woman, wants continued unemployment, loss of health care, environmental destruction, failed foreign policy, fighting wars that are ruining us financially, and to put money in the treasuries of the Middle East, then they will vote Mccain/Palin, which means they are voting for Bush.

Fix America. Vote Obama.

It's nice to see someone actually speaking their mind.
http://www.entertonement.com/collections/3052/Matt-Damon-On-Sarah-Palin

Um, you all are saying that Palin has no experience...and exactly what experience does obama have? Less than Palin and he is running for PRESIDENT, not VICE President

#483

I hope people like you are not registered to vote. Just in case you are, you need to visit this site and get the facts correct:

www.factcheck.org

Improve America by voting for Obama.

I love the fact that this is out there. He obviously can't be misquoted, and there are questions about Palin's record.

But as a voter, i see President Palin as being the lesser of 2 evils and would rather have her than Obama, McCain or Biden.

I did a hockey mom once, it wasn't bad. But she won't get my vote.

Sarah Palin has more experience to be Vice President that Obama has to be President. Isn't anyone worried about that?????????

For all the comments about how actors should stay out of politics (I am guessing the majority of you are republicans), history shows that the two career choices often cross-over.

Three cases where the actor becomes a politician, Fred Thompson, Reagan, and Schwarzenegger.

This is the same Matt Damon who broke up with his girlfriend by fax (Minnie Driver). What a loser. He says he knows nothing about Sarah Palin and then says she isn't qualified. How did you figure that out Matt? What an idiot. This would be like me saying sex with Matt's wife is horrible...but having never had sex with her I wouldn't know would I? Matt doesn't know squat. Go back to acting and looking tall on film you short little Napoleon idiot! I just might have to vote for McCain now. What's funny is that Palin has more experience than the Dali Bama! That is scary!

#25

Obama has more experience than Palin. Palin was governor of Alaska for two years and a former mayor of Wasilla. Obama is a member of the Senate for four years and former state legislator from Illinois. Palin believes she has a direct line to God and her church believes the Iraq war is neccessary to full fill the Bible prophecy for the end of the world and the return of Christ.

#484

at least mccain voted. seriously, at least he's not a pussy and he stands on his record.
how can you respect 130 votes for 'present'. he is so afraid to make enemies and to take a stand.

i wouldn't vote for a woman (clinton included) because she is a woman. however, i wouldn't vote against a woman because of her perceived poor parenting skills, either.

Fuck McChicken, Fuck Palin, Fuck Obama! I hate them all, they are all evil and dumb. BUT, we can't boycott the elections because our non votes will vote the one we hate most. Vote for the lesser evil, even though you hate him too!

McCain's new ad puts another stitch in what we've called his pattern of deceit on Obama's tax plan. This one claims Obama and congressional Democrats plan to push forward "painful tax increases on working American families" and that they will bring about "years of deficits," "no balanced budgets" and "billions in new government spending."

The ad is plain wrong about higher taxes on working families. In fact, Obama's economic plan would produce a tax cut for the majority of American households, with middle-income earners benefiting most. As for "years of deficits," exactly the same claim could be made about McCain's program. It's unlikely either Obama or McCain would balance the budget, and both are projected to increase the debt by trillions.

Wow. You seem upset, Matt. First you say you don't know anything about her, then talk about her. Discounting Palin's experience as a Mayor and Governor is ABSURD to me. Your one question for her would be about her belief regarding when dinosaurs existed. That would clear it all up for you. You sound like the would-be book burner to me. Not so much for diversity?
BTW, co-sponsoring a Bill is signing your name on it. And sponsoring it, does not mean you drafted it.

#493

obama has campaigned rigorously for 18 months. he has voted present 130 times.
where is the experience/wisdom you are hanging your hopes on?
he is a very gifted speaker.

i am not convinced being a gifted orator makes you a great leader. show me what he's done.

THis is election is fucked up. John McCain only met Sarah Palin ONE TIME. They fucking googled her name and chose her from that! All I got to say is, this country voted for George Bush twice and now it's going to put Sarah Palin and John McCain in charge. All these people who bitch about Bush but voted for him twice and now are going to vote for the Republicans again deserve to lose their jobs and have their homes lost. Thanks for fucking it up for the rest of us who THINK!

500th!!!!

Matt makes a really god point...I guess I never thought of Palin as a cheesy Disney character, but I can totally see it now! And for those of you that are saying that Palin has more experience than Obama, you might want to do some research............

Matt damon is just another DUMBocrat , doesnt he know that Putin in not the president of Russia anymore?just another example of how the fucktards in Hollywood should keep their "opinions to themselve;s and their big Mouths to them selv'es. Just like matt said "I don;t understand ,Duh no shit,. No one wants to hear from you , or any of your buddys, why cant you be more like George , and learn your lesson, and keep your piehole shut..actually I take that back dumbass, keep runnin your mouth, and putting down the soccer moms" , you know the ones who pay for their kids to se your lame ass movies. and just piss off all of the rest of the women in general, Yours doesnt matter, she was illegal to begin with, wasnt she bartending /sucking up quarters with her vagina when you met her in Tiajuanna? whoops no that is Columbia . my bad..!!

Obama has never had any responsibility. Senators don't balance budgets or make decisions. All they do is vote...and campaign. I like Obama, but he was a joke in Illinois. Look at his record...the facts. He actually voted "present" 136 times while in Illinois. He couldn't even make up his mind on basic decisions at the state level. Senators have no responsibility on decisions. Obama has less experience than Palin. I was going to vote for him until I found out more about him. He is a great speaker, but there is no substance...no history of making decisions or running any type of organization. Plus look at some of the people he associates with...Rev. Wright...Bill Ayers...yikes! And as we are witnessing now he is starting to come unglued. I think the stress and the fact he is in way over his head is startng to show. He is cracking and it will cost the Democrats again. Sad, but true! The Dems are in deep trouble right now.

#499

missy wissy pissy

you sound like a child. if i don't get my way, i hope you all lose your house and die. waaaaah.

fucking make an argument-don't just whine and blame people. and that's really cool to wish hardship on millions of people, you loser. you probably live with your mom and enjoy your mac computer and have a pretty little pink cell phone, pretending you have a grasp of the world's problems.

go buy another stupid coach purse and pretend you understand life. go have a tantrum, missypissy-you know with only THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK!

please.

Palin reminds me of a middle school principal teacher.

She's going to FURTHER make AMERICANS the laughing stock of the world.

C'mon people. She could possibly be worse than W himself.

#502

Definitely a dirty stupid CUNT.

I'm voting for Obama because of his policies.

Obama was busy campaigning and missed one-third of the votes.

McCain claimed that Obama’s health care plan would "force small businesses to cut jobs" and would put "a bureaucrat ... between you and your doctor." In fact, the plan exempts small businesses, and those who have insurance now could keep the coverage they have.

McCain attacked Obama for voting for "corporate welfare" for oil companies. In fact, the bill Obama voted for raised taxes on oil companies by $300 million over 11 years while providing $5.8 billion in subsidies for renewable energy, energy efficiency and alternative fuels.

McCain promised to increase use of wind, tide, and solar energy, though his actual energy plan contains no new money for renewable energy. He has said elsewhere that renewable sources won’t produce as much as people think.

Palin’s accusation that Obama hasn’t authored “a single major law or even a reform” in the U.S. Senate or the Illinois Senate is simply not a fair assessment. Obama has helped push through major ethics reforms in both bodies, for example.

What's scary as shit, is that we really don't know enough about Sarah Palin, yet half of the country wants her in the White House. We don't know enough about Obama and the other half wants HIM in the White House. WTF??? What has happened to the way we select individuals to lead our country?? McCain is on his last leg and was very rude during the debates (rolling his eyes and smirking while Huckabee and Paul spoke), Palin - should obviously be free from attacks according to most Republicans, Obama- wasn't even born in the US (photoshopped birth certificate) and should also be free from attacks according to his defensiveness. Biden? He's the only LEGIT candidate in the whole fucking race! I used to vote so I would have a reason to complain, but this year is such a damn circus. Bush stole his presidency. Who the fuck cares anymore about this whole process?

I agree with the Damon.

Although...
...if corporate America wanted a high school dropout alcoholic pedophile in office then it would happen. The people have no say. Those that think you actually do are simply retarded. You don't need to fix an election by just stopping people from going to the polls, you can preemptive strike with mass media, religion, and manipulation of the public perspective of national security and financial security. Fools.

...join us this century as we tune in for the fall of the US empire!

Do your research people!

Matt Damon is an pompous elitist.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/newsquotes.asp

#508

i asked you to show me what he's done. what does "helped push through" mean- he showed up that day and voted (did his job)

and yes, he was busy campaigning and missed a lot of votes. were those the unimportant votes?
how nice of him to determine which ones didn't really need his vote.

if i have to hear mccain's voting record held against him, then i want obama's LACK of record held against him.

#482 WELL SAID MY FRIEND!

Whats funnier than this video is all the sports caster like comments from all the "experts" in politics we have on this sit. Then again, that is where a majority of Americans get their extended political vocabulary and rhetoric from - Monday night Football.

Land of the free..home of the brave.. what a joke.

Democrats care about the environment, deficit, eventually ending the war in Iraq, and social programs to name a few. Republicans are greedy or vote because of pro life. Republicans believe that if you give the richest elite 3 percent of Americans the best tax breaks that it will some how trickle down to the poor. I make good money and have health insurance but I believe in helping the needy to get them back on their feet. 20 percent of the US population are poor and this is too high for a powerful nation.

I agree with obannion , we can't let a Muslim community organizer have the nuclear codes..

NObama no way,
the hell with all the stupid ass celebrities, you can all move to France or Mexico or better yet to Russia or China because, you're bunch of commies

YAY! I don't think the opinions of celebrities amount to anything, but Matt Damon is totally right. If he can use his fame to spread the word about this scary dunce of a woman, more power to him.

OMG! A Hollywood Celeb has a political opinion! I'm going to change my views/beliefs/values/political leanings/sexual orientation/everything because Matt Dumbass has an opinion he feels the need to share with the world.
If he wanted to be a politician, he should have run for office - until then... APPLESAUCE BITCH

So, she doesn't know how to govern. Who cares? She's HOT!!

If America votes in that old bastard and that vapid hockey mom, the entire world will know that 50.2% of America's voters are all fucking crazy. If Matt Damon can see the writing on the wall and you can't; you have problems.

Look at your fucking great war in Iraq - The one that is actually supposed to be about Bin Laden but your fucking retard Govt. is "looking" (killing) in the wrong country.

IRAQ

Per Month - $10.3 billion
Per Week - $2.4 billion
Per Day - $343 million
Per Hour - $14 million
Per Minute - $238,425
Per Second - $3,973

Death Toll - Americans

4155 - In Combat + Accidental

You left Afganistan (the place where you originally looked for Bin Laden) to the Dutch and the Canadians to clean up. Now you are in Iraq for what again? Lies. Your Government lied to you. They counted on your stupidity.
They lied so that non-existent cocksucker VP of yours can get rich with his old company; Halliburton. He may not be employed but he gets the money somewhere....stocks? Kickbacks? Sidepockets?

America is pathetic. You vote Republican, you should get a free straitjacket.

Wake the fuck up.

Ryan

p.s. If you are in doubt about the dinosaur comment, why not study Creationism and see where the Religous Crazies have the dinosaurs? Matt Damon is talking truth. Here is the link - Read up while you wake the fuck up -

http://www.creationmuseum.org/

The bottom line is vote based on policies.

Vote Obama.

Dimocrats care about the environment, so long as they don't have to do the math (i.e. comparing energy density, infrastructure costs, mechanical life, and environmental side effects of their environmental cure-alls), and can just quote "experts".

Dimocrats believe in taxing the successful. If it moves, tax it; if it keeps moving, regulate it; if it dies, subsidize it. Comparing the middle class tax cuts, Obama's will save them 5% and McCain's will save them 3%. Big fucking deal, Barack.

Dimocrats care about the national deficit and/or debt. They really don't know the difference between them, however.

Dimocrats insult people that disagree with them by claiming those people get their information from Fox news. They only get their news from outlets that share their Wwhite rage (def. indigation about Bush expressed by those with multiple graduate degrees and low income).

I agree with #509 except for the fact that Obama was born in America Hawaii is the 50th state.

#521 maybe you should believe in a dictionary

Americans are SO STUPID. This thread is the proof.

#523, perhaps #521is being sarcastic by spelling democrat d-i-m-o-c-r-a-t. Get it, as in dimwitted.

Reasons I know your a democrat:
1. Upset over grammar when there is no better retort-takes low blows
2. Absolutely humorless
3. Turns reptilian when someone disagrees

Typical.

Also, to everyone here going on about 9/11 being a production of our government: Now what? So what if the entire USA was absolutely convinced our government blew up our people to gather everyone into going to war, now what???

@505 Also, to numbnuts saying I live at home and have a pink cell phone: That was the stupidest way to attack, by assumption. You're assuming shit about me and trying to downplay me by making accusations that aren't true. Typical Republican, that can't handle an attack on your mommy-figure Sarah Palin. You have are not and never will be on her titties so quit dreaming!! The Republicans created this housing crisis so the Federal Reserve now controls Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. THIS IS COMMUNISM AT THE HANDS OF THE REPUBLICANS. So anybody who votes for these same dumb asses and think our economy is hunky-dorey then yes, they do deserve the hardships they have created for everyone else. You should get what you vote for you fucking idiot!

@522 The birth cerititicate provided by Obama camp is a forgery. There is no official seal and the origional ceritificate can only be sent by mail and is folded. The certificate the Obama camp was different in color and had no creases, whatsoever. Like anything else, who is going to take the time to prove it. If a idiot can steal an election, ANYTHING is possible.

Mr. Abnormal ,why don't you get the hell out of America if you do not like it or the people who inhabit it. You will not be missed you ineffectual priss pot.

I wish these stupid stars would shut up and leave politics up to people who do not get paid 8 million dollars a movie.

Some, and I do say only some, of celebs that claim to be democrats are lying. It is great PR move pure and simple.

Dr. Jack Wheeler is a brainless piece of shit, not worthy to lick Obama's bathroom floor.

You know, it's kind of fun to see you Neanderthal Fanatical Christian Republican-tards who possess the intelligence of a 4-year-old get all worked up. It's like visiting the monkey house at the zoo when they all start screeching and throwing shit at eat other. If's kind of fun, that is, until I consider the fact that you idiots actually take yourselves seriously. If the past eight years of watching the Bush Administration drive this country into the ground and taking the rest of the world with it hasn't convinced you that we need to put a Democrat back in the White House, then your head is just too far up your ass. I just wish you would all disappear.

sad thing is matt damon is more qualified for president than all other candidates put together.

@528: No, I'll stick around. Dumb people like like yourself are useful idiots: America's greatest resource.

Yeah...Matt is more qualified to run than everyone else put together. Anyone who utters such idiocy reveals why they are voting for the Obamessiah. Matt's an actor (a bad one) with no experience at anything else. Obama was a bottom feeder in the Illinois state senate, a "community organizer", and was in the U.S. Senate for a little over 100 days before he decided HE was qualified to run for president. We don't know anything about him because NOBODY vouches for him, other than Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and Flager. Where are all the people who had their lives improved by Obama? Where are all of his friends? He doesn't have any. Palin was a mayor, is a governor, and has countless people vouching for her integrity. Yeah Matt, you are a true heavyweight

I LOVE POLITICS!!!!

In debates people should be handed a knife to each person. and tied together at the hand. and start debating. and lets see how long before someone gets stabbed!!!

Nation of idiots! Unite under the empty, hollow talking points given to you by rich white men! Vote for the people who have made this country worse over the last 8 years! Makes total sense! Jesus rode dinosaurs! Science is bad, fiction is real! Obama wants to rape your babies! It's true, because FOX said so! The rapture is coming soon, so we don't need to fix anything! Abstinence education works! Ask Bristol! Books are bad! Killing is good, especially in jesus/santa's name! Earmarks are bad, only if you get caught. Vote for your mother who you really just want to have sex with! Yeah! I want Bush's 3rd term! WhoooooHooooo!!!

534-
Sarah Palin's best friends aren't even planning to vote for her, both major newspapers in her state question her ability to serve, as does the Republican senator from Alaska. The 80% approval rating that they keep talking about is BULLSHIT and I'm not sure why it would be significant coming from a state that has a half million in it, anyway. Sarah Palin is a fanatical Christian dimwit who is confused at best and quite possibly a sociopath, given her fanatical religious beliefs and her obvious lack of ethics.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.

I like Matt Damon just a titch more than I used to. Well said.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.

I like Matt Damon just a titch more than I used to. Well said.

Do the Fed now controls more aspects of our economy? Ahhh haaaaaa haaaa. You morons. Who do you think owns the Federal Reserve? Tell me and you will be on the trail of comprehending how diabolical the whole system really is.
We are all more or less semi-slaves to the elite who own a ridiculous share of the world's wealth and we do their bidding to our detriment.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.

I like Matt Damon just a titch more than I used to. Well said.

So *who* are the "countless" people that are vouching for her integrity? Other fanatical Christians? Elizabeth-head-up-her-ass Hasselbeck? Karl Rove? Some of the other fucking liars who have totally fucked up our democracy?

HAHAHA Dinosaurs. I'm honestly curious now about her opinion on that. A candidate's "Dino-Stance" is a big deciding factor for me as a voter.

While I share Damon's fear, all I could think of while watching this video was his puppet effigy from "Team America". Film Actor's Guild... N'uff said.

Her church believes you can "convert" gay people to become hetero. hahaha And they are serious. And YES, she threatened to fire a librarian because he wouldn't ban certain books.

-are YOU one of her best friends?

-are you and missywissy the same person? your arguments are similar

80% approval rate is probably because she is giving everyone in Alaska a 3 grand energy rebate.

I love to pay for people to like me.

Basquait, or whatever the hell your name is. Grammar is not my forte. Also I do not deem you important enough to spell check my comments that are directed toward you.

Just because you have an art history major or a pedestrain interest in art does not make you an intellectual (only a weirdo who likes obscure artist enough to adopt the name as a moniker). I can almost guarantee several things w/o setting eyes on you:

1. My grammar is alot better than your skills in Math or Physics.

2. I make more money than you, grammar checker.

Unlike you, I have an actual degree that required hard work and natural God given intelligence. Not commiting to memory the collective works of 17th century artist that no one gives a rats ass about besides musuem curators and you. Like most with a degree in arts/humanities you are liberal and an overeducated, underpaid loser who becomes reptilian if someone points out your bullshit or does not agree with your current thought du jour.
Another thing. So your not French. Worse! Just an artsy queer or lesbo bitch who emulates an obscure artist. Go fuck yourself. and get an identity. One more thing I can guarantee is you would not say shit to me on the street because you would be left picking up the remains of your face off the asphalt. Now go chew on that Bisquick.

sorry 545- Looks like I'm not the only person who thinks it's sad that out of ALL the Republicans in the USA, Sarah Palin was the best one they could come up with to be John McCain's running mate. I bet even YOU would be a better running mate than her. Did you know she told her Assembly of God congregation to pray for a natural gas pipeline for Alaska?? I wonder if she speaks in tongues??? Pitbull my ass, she's bought off just like the rest of them.

to everyone who's pro mccain/palin, WAKE UP. they support finances that aide the rich..education directives for "choice" aka they want more private schools and less help to the lower classes. they want offshore drilling which is temporary and TERRIBLE to the environment. they want to stay in iraq for an infinite time. they want to invade any country that challenges the american standard. they will continue the reign of the bush administration with more lies and under less time.

palin helped start a dirty natural gas pipeline (read: still oil, more resources used) in the north slope of alaska where her husband is an oil producer. uhh DUHHHHH!!!

please wake up, america. i had so much hope

Hey Johnnyboy. You mean you are going to stick around so you can be amused by people like me. Me, amusing, to you, a person that desrcibes himself as abnormal. Am I missing something Johnny?

You better hope people like me stick around for other reasons besides your amusement. Namely, keeping this country afloat with our tax dollars you worthless piece of dog shit.

Ron Paul for life, bitches!!!

I love Matt Damon....

I can't wait until this election is over and I hope that Barak wins.

Palin is hot and, unlike Biden, has not asked wheelchair bound Missouri State Senator Chuck Graham to stand up and be recognized. The democratic ticket is falling apart.

The only people you're keeping "afloat" is rich, white, corporate bastards. I bet you're really proud that the people you vote for steal from you and run you into debt while making you and your kids more and more stupid with each passing day..

No, you didn't "miss" anything, except a proper education. I am abnormal because most of America can't find America on a map. Therefore, I am abnormally smart. Your tax dollars are nothing, especially if you live in the midwest or southern ass crack of rural America. At least my family tree has branches and we don't have imaginary friends in the sky.

Im not sure that being an actor qualifies you to make political statements but it does not disqualify you either. Do you stupid republicans remember that your hero Ronald Reagan was an actor? The people saying he needs to shut up are doing the same thing he is, just stating an opinion, only difference is he is famous and his opinion is put out for the masses of idiots like you to comment on.

She's never directly banned books, nor even given a list that she thinks should be banned, but the fact that she even *raised the question* is disturbing enough. http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/story/515512.html

@559: She never banned book because she wasn't allowed to. She tried and failed.

Matt makes very good points. I can't understand why he isn't making the same ones about Obama - and Obama's the top of the ticket. His place as president isn't even contingent on the survival of his running mate.

Stupid people brush off the experience argument for a year and a half now and suddenly it's the most important qualification for the BOTTOM half of the ticket who is more experienced than Obama.

Weak sauce Matt.

#551

"I bet even YOU would be a better running mate than her."

no. unlike obama, i would know i am grossly unqualified.

consult factcheck.org before taking the advice of matt damon or madonna.

#560

untrue. factcheck.org

she hypothetically asked how someone could even get a book banned. nothing more conspiratorial than that.

Is it just me or does Matt Damon sound like a freakin' idiot?

Even worse Disney movie: Intelligent people start taking political advice from under-educated, ultra-liberal, Hollywood actors because they "played smart people in movies"!!!!

For the people who keep telling Matt Damon to shut up....this is America, people are entitled to speak their own opinion. Just don't listen if you don't care what he thinks.

However, I agree with every word he said. Palin DID attempt to ban books. She looked into it and wanted to fire her town librarian until she was pressured out of it (she is, after all, a politician). The idea that people are supporting her because they can 'relate' to her and she's a 'hockey mom' is absolutely ABSURD, just like he said. My mom was a soccer mom, and she has friends that relate to her...she could DEFINITELY run the country, right?? If you actually look at her record, the issues, compare her and McCain to Bush and Obama...it's idiotic to think that anything will change in this country if there is another Republican president.

Palin is completely taking over the election, and even though McCain will be the one elected it's scary to think of the influence she will have over him with her 1950s-style opinions.

@563: So then tell me exactly why she fired that librarian again?

#566 and #567-both of you obamaloves

that is untrue:

She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

factcheck.org 9/8/2008

Please do not take this the wrong way as it is not meant as an attack.

You advocate giving hand outs to the lazy and unproductive? Welfare as originally created by FDR is designed to assist those in need get on their feet. It is not a way of life nor should it be chronic.

Has the "help" given in the past to the lower classes really helped them? Maybe some gumption and discipline is what is needed and discipline does not come from being coddled. Life is hard, harder for some. However, education is free and can take you out of bad situations. Take advantage. I know many schools lack resources but alot of education is what you make of it. For example A. Lincoln. First you have to want to learn.

How cheaply the democrats buy out the poor and sell them out to the tune of a welfare check of a few hundered dollars in exchange for a vote all the while taxing the middle class to death in order to make it happen. Lets manipulate the poor and minorities (often the same) into believing they are victims of institutional racism or classism and convince them that whitey, the man, (insert name of villian) is out to get them all the while pretending to be their friend, buying their collective souls and keeping them down. I am sure that many minorities and others have experienced some type of discimination, I have not walked in their shoes. I am not devalidating their experience. However, it does not define who they are. Liberals are an insult to African Americans and the poor alike-as I stated unfortunately often the same. They preach victimhood not empowerment and keep African Americans on the government plantation where they are safe and appeased. You know what they say about those with a smiling face.

Democrats complain. Maybe this comes with being the self touted party of change. However it is off putting to never be happy and makes Dems seem like malcontents. I see that the system needs to be tweaked. Sure. We can always improve. I think alot of the problem is that Dems don't really quantify what the change is they are advocating. Not all changes are good. Many people need to see specifically how change is going to occur. They need more than a person screaming for abstract alterations of the status quo for the sake of blind change that is not quantifiable or realistic to launch.

On the environment piece. I see your side. But be aware that there is just as much evidence to the contrary. I know an oceanographer who claims global warming is not the result of mankinds abuse. However, I am not entirely convinced myself.

Regarding Iraq. Again, I see where you are coming from and it is not a stretch for you to think this way. However keep these points in mind...

1. There was no significant difference between the position the Bush administration had on Iraq's WMD and the position held by prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Joe Lieberman, or John Kerry. In short, the overwhelming majority of Democrats & Republicans in Washington believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

2.After September 11th, it became apparent that going after Al-Qaeda was not going to be enough to prevent future attacks. First off, if you simply target Al-Qaeda, what happens if the core of group simply changes its name or groups with other anti-American terrorists? Furthermore, how can you effectively target terrorists protected by the power of a rogue state? The answer is, you can't. In addition, the training, resources, & protection provided by those rogue states is the very thing that enables a group like Al-Qaeda to become capable of pulling off the sort of attack we saw on 9/11. So in order to prevent future 9/11s, you have to go after not just Al-Qaeda, but all terrorist groups with global reach and the rogue states that support them.
.
3.Given the size of Iraq and the fact that Saddam Hussein's totalitarian regime was not cooperating with the UN inspectors, there was no way, even had they been there for a hundred years, that Hans Blix and the rest of the UN inspectors could have confirmed to anyone's satisfaction that Iraq was not producing WMD. Even a year after the war, when our inspectors have had the run of the country, access to "secret documents", and have been able to interview Iraqi scientists without Saddam's"minders" being present, our WMD teams have still not been able to definitively say there are no remaining stockpiles of weapons in Iraq although we certainly suspect that to be the case.

4.It isn't as if our intelligence agencies and the politicians citing them were totally wrong about WMDs and Iraq. As David Kay revealed, Iraqi scientists were working on weaponizing anthrax "right up until the end" and had restarted a rudimentary nuclear weapons program in 2000 & 2001.

5.Saddam Hussein was an avowed enemy of America who had started two wars of aggression in the region, was steadfast in his support for Palestinian suicide bombers, and brutally oppressed his own people. That last point is especially salient since we justified sending troops to Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, and Somalia almost solely because of "humanitarian reasons".

Anyway, I know this was long and I am not trying to convince you. I just wanted to present you with the perspective of many Republicans. You seem like a concerned citizen and this is what is most important.

#568

please see my post @ #569

the director of factcheck.org was actually just interviewed last night and reiterated palin is getting slammed by lies.

there are lots and lots of lies being circulated and i think it's unfair. judge her on the truth and if you still hate her, i could care less.

To all democrats:

Do you really believe Obama will deliver what he's promising... health care reform, cheaper education, lower taxes, ???

Didn't Bill Clinton promise that? I don't recall him fixing any of that.

Take it from someone who lives in Canada. We have medicare... which means we'll die waiting to get the operation we really need because everyone abuses the system. (By the way, we have 10% of the population that America has.) I can only imagine the abuse you guys would see.

It cost very little to go to school in my country. In turn, our education system SUCKS!!!

It is imposible to lower taxes and achieve the above goals. I know this cause I give up almost half my paycheck to my wonderfull government and I'm "middle class".

Don't you all see what the DEMS are all about?

They tell you what you want to hear in order to get elected. They have absolutely no intention of delivering on those promises.

Do you think Obama cares about the little people? He's a millionaire several times over. He lives in an upscale neighborhood, his children will attend the best schools and he'll have the best doctors money can buy attending to him.

He's a closet republican... just like the Clintons and every other phony before them!

Seriously, the Americans would pick a piece of cheese cake over a black man for president because the country is so fucking dumb and ignorant. So who really gives a shit anymore. Everybody knows the country is a joke and will put another joke into power. Then wonder why their country is going down the shitter even further.

Matt Damon can suck it, since when does anyone care about what BIG HOLLYWOOD thinks anyway. One could easily use the same arguments against Obama that he uses on Palin.
Obama is like a bad Spike Lee Movie... His dad was a kenyan goathearder how can we give him the nuclear codes.... he always abstains from controversial votes while in office what does he really believe in. His church pastor of 20 years preached the US government created aids to kill black people , does he really really belive that? I wanna know.....

I am ambivalent about Matt Damon but I absolutely abhor Sarah Palin. She and John McCain scare the crap out of me and should only be allowed in the White House when accompanied by a tour guide.

"How cheaply the democrats buy out the poor and sell them out to the tune of a welfare check of a few hundered dollars in exchange for a vote all the while taxing the middle class to death in order to make it happen."

Idiot. Where were you when Bush was handing out $600 rebate checks, twice?

#572

I'm voting for Obama because of his policies and the Republican policies only help the elite rich 3 percent of the US population. Republicans are also anti-environement, pro Iraqi war, and anti social programs.

Here is Pres. Clinton's record.

Under President Clinton's leadership, almost 6 million new jobs were created in the first two years of his Administration -- an average of 250,000 new jobs every month.

In 1994, the economy had the lowest combination of unemployment and inflation in 25 years.

As part of the 1993 Economic Plan, President Clinton cut taxes on 15 million low-income families and made tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses, while raising taxes on just 1.2 percent of the wealthiest taxpayers.

President Clinton signed into law the largest deficit reduction plan in history, resulting in over $600 billion in deficit reduction. Clinton left office with a surplus.

The President signed into law the Brady Bill, which imposes a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases so that background checks can be done to help keep handguns away from criminals.

The President's Crime Bill will put 100,000 new police officers on the street. More than 1,200 communities have already received grants to hire 27,000 additional officers.

The Crime Bill also punishes criminals by expanding the number of offenses eligible for the death penalty and implementing the "three-strikes-and-you're-out" provision.

And, the Bill banned the manufacture of 19 specific types of deadly assault weapons, while simultaneously protecting hunters' rights by exempting over 650 hunting rifles.

President Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act. The law, which covers over 42 million Americans, offers workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-guaranteed leave for child birth, adoption, or personal or family illness.

President Clinton expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit to cut the taxes of 15 million working families with incomes of $27,000 or less.

President Clinton granted waivers to 25 states -- half the nation -- providing for comprehensive welfare reform demonstrations.

President Clinton ordered the U.S. Justice Department to conduct the first-ever crackdown on deadbeat parents who refuse to accept financial responsibility for their own children.

Signed an Executive Order cracking down on federal employees who owe child support.

President Clinton has already cut the federal bureaucracy by more than 100,000 positions. Under the recommendations of the National Performance Review, the federal bureaucracy will be reduced by 272,000 -- its lowest level since the Kennedy Administration.

And, he reduced the White House staff by 25 percent.

Under the President's Direct Student Loan program, students can borrow money directly from the government at a lower interest rate and with many flexible repayment options, including the option to repay with a percentage of their after-graduation salary. Taxpayers will save at least $4.3 billion over five years.

In 1994, over 20,000 AmeriCorps members tutored students, immunized children, reclaimed urban parks, and patrolled neighborhoods. In return, they earned $4,725 per year of service towards college tuition or job training.

President Clinton signed into law Goals 2000, a national standard of excellence for our public schools. Already, 41 states and territories have received federal grants to raise academic standards and improve schools.

President Clinton's Safe and Drug Free Schools and Community Act and the Safe Schools Act provide funding to schools to fight violence and drug abuse. Schools can use up to 25 percent of their funds to purchase metal detectors, develop safe zones, and hire school security personnel.

The President's School-to-Work program provides venture capital to spark a nationwide system for moving America's young people from high school to a job with a future. In 1994, all states received planning funds for their school-to-work program.

Charter School legislation signed by President Clinton encourages states and localities to set up public school choice.

The Clinton Administration forged a bipartisan coalition to pass NAFTA, after concluding tough negotiations on side agreements covering workers' rights, the environment, and import surges. Exports to Mexico rose 23 percent in the first 11 months of 1994.

President Clinton led the fight to pass GATT, which lowers tariffs worldwide by $744 billion over ten years -- the largest international tax cut in history. GATT cuts tariffs on manufactured goods by more than one-third overall and eliminates tariffs in major markets in a number of sectors in which the U.S. is particularly competitive.

Under President Clinton, the EPA launched its "Common Sense Initiative" to make health protection cheaper and smarter by focusing on results rather than one-size-fits-all regulations.

The President's Northwest Forest Plan is putting communities in the Northwest back to work, while conserving ancient forests.

After decades of conflict, the Clinton Administration negotiated a consensus plan to protect California's most valuable natural resource -- its water. The San Francisco and Delta estuary supplies dr inking water to two-thirds of the state's people, provides irrigation for 45 percent of the nation's fruits and vegetables, and sustains 300 aquatic species.

President Clinton hosted the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian Declaration of Principles in September, 1993, and the signing of the Israeli-Jordan Washington Principles in July, 1994 -- historic agreements between the leaders of Israel and her Arab neighbors to settle differences by peaceful means.

To enhance European security and stability, the Clinton Administration proposed the Partnership for Peace program, offering former Soviet republics and Central/East European states closer ties with NATO. Already, 22 nations have signed on, since NATO's adoption of the program in January, 1994.

As of May, 1994, nuclear missiles in Russia and the United States are no longer targeted against any country. And, as a result of other Clinton Administration efforts, the Ukraine is ahead of schedule in reaching the goal of transferring 1,500 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantlement.

President Clinton peacefully restored democracy to Haiti, curbing the violence that threatened tens of thousands of Haitians, securing our borders, and upholding our commitments and the commitments made to us in the process.

women meet over aerobics and men close business deals over 9 holes of golf. it's not complex and it's really not too zany for most to grasp.

i think your view of what makes something absurd is waaay different than mine.

Yeah, because Obama will handle Putin like a champ. Right.

Are you sure your not that fool Basquack (sp?) or are you from a foreign country other than the East Coast or California? (joke, I know the eastern seaboard lies in the US as well as Freakyfornia).

Johnny writes, "Your tax dollars are nothing, especially if you live in the midwest or southern ass crack of rural America".

Me:Such disdain for America and the tax payers. My tax dollars might not be much to a person of your wealth and station in life, but the fashion inwhich they are used means something to me. I am not for big government. I do not want to be regulated.

Johnny Abnormal writes: "I bet you're really proud that the people you vote for steal from you and run you into debt while making you and your kids more and more stupid with each passing day".

Me: "Johnny, please quanify this vague statement. Education, in many ways, is a self directed endeavor. You must want to learn and actually do the work. It does not get into ones head via osmosis. No one makes you stupid either (again finding a blame). BTW, I do not have kids but if I did I can assure you I would not rely entirely on the public school system which feeds liberal propoganda. You teach your kids how to think for themselves, work hard and invest wisely and that an ounce of self discipline goes pretty far. You are the one who is being played the fool, buying into a system that takes away all self empowerment and looks for an excuse for everything under the sun. So sad.

The only people you're keeping "afloat" is rich, white, corporate bastards.

Not to sound like a crazy grammar police Democrat but do you mean to say are rather than is. As in the statement rich, white, corporate bastards are ____. This is a plural statement. You stated is which I could not help but point out, and normally this would not bother me, it's just you claim to be so smart I though you may benefit from that piece of knowledge and would not want to look silly.

Me: Wrong again. I do not work for anyone but myself as I own my own small business. My hard work benefits me only as I am my own boss and sole proprietor of my LLC. I am also a savvy investor, which is why I have time to peruse the net for amusement. I have others and my money working for me. I take my destiny into my own hands and do not let the government make important decisions for me. Do not fear Johnny I am not being robbed. I am very astute with my finances. I just happen to be a fiscal conservative who believes if I am capapble of pulluing myself up by my boot straps then anyone can. No excuses, no blame.

Johnny writes, "At least my family tree has branches and we don't have imaginary friends in the sky".

Me: Personally I do not believe in spooks who live in the sky. I rely on myself. Even if I did, is that such a bad thing? Are you so arrogant that you make fun of someone's coping mechanism whatever that may be? Obama is a religious man (I am assuming your a democrat). You are actually quite pathetic taking such a low blow.

Doesn't everyone's family tree have branches. Unless one breeds with oneself ,how is a linear tree possible? We are not ameobas or seahorses. A branched family tree is not indigenous to you. I bet you would loose the pompous front if you were amongst good old boys from the deep south or the midwest. Now that would be something amusing.

JohnnyAbnormal writes: "No, you didn't "miss" anything, except a proper education".

Me: Actually I attended one of the most prestigous schools around, probably in your neighborhood. I am sure, given your penchant for prestige, you have heard of it and would probably give your right eye to have attended. I did this through hard work and discipline. I am quite well rounded and good at most things I do (your kind would refer to me as the renaissance type).
I am from the south where people are still grounded. I did not grow up wealthy but with people who are hard working and espoused the value of discipline and education.

Johnny Abnormal writes:"I am abnormal because most of America can't find America on a map. Therefore, I am abnormally smart.

Me: Once again, wrong. Being able to find America on a map does not make you MENSA material or even abnormally smart....lol. I bet you think your a super hero, or at least have stellar athletic ability for being able to successfully walk and chew gum.

Johnny you are actually quite normal. You are pathetic, insecure and would like to think of yourself as special and smart You are pedestrian, a pretender without gumption. You, Johnny, are the lreal oser and the pawn.

Please do not bother to reply. I will not answer or waste my time with a rebuttal. I have called your bluff and you know it. Go home.

Wow, I have such insightful things to say about current affairs. I know, I'll post them to a celebrity gossip site! That will change the world!

Losers.

I don't believe that there is one person who is perfect for the job. But Matt Damon come on. He can barely speak on his own, his wife probably has to dress him. I do know that Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama, but no one wants to looks at his credentials. Sarah might be scary, but Obama wants to double everybodies taxes. Go to www.taxfoundation.org if you want to know the truth.

#227...Just one comment.....Do you know why innocent Iraqis are dying? last time I checked it was because they were blowing each other up by suicide bombers. Maybe I am misinformed...but I am pretty sure that American soldiers are not killing the "innocent Iraqis".

OHHH....and I want to shout out to all the Democrats out there.
"YOU ARE ALL DOUCHE BAGS!!!!"

So wait - Matt Damon (Film Actor's Guild) is scared to have Palin in the white house because she was "only" a mayor of a small tiny town, and has "only" been Governor of Alaska for 2 years, and Matt Damon has been a....uh, an.....er, well he's an actor, right? Maybe did a little writing? Pals with Kevin Smith maybe - is that a job? Matt's been responsible for uh, er, uhm, well - nothing near as I can tell. So Matt Damon is qualified to have an opinion on this because he's uh, well - er, uhm, oh yeah - he isn't. If it weren't for Good Will Hunting and Dogma he'd be serving me breakfast at Denny's. Fuck Matt Damon. Love him in the movies - needs to shut his pie hole about politics.

Oh, and a whopping big PS:

I'd rather have a political activist like McCain select a VP based on her gender in a gross display of pandering for votes than have an entire political party select a presidential candidate based on his color.

Feel the burn, Democrat racists. If your party can't produce a candidate with better credentials than Obama, it's a lost cause already.

I'd love to have a black president. Show me a qualified candidate and I'll vote for him.

Matt Damon is Gay.

And that's saying a lot since I don't consider Obama or McCain to be gay.

But dammit Matt...you are one seriously retarded gay guy.

#592

US TV does not show the innocent Iraqi victims as a result of the US military. Go ahead and vote for McCain and continue the war in Iraqi and help get the elite 3 percent of Americans richer. I'm voting for Obama because I want the elite 3 percent to get taxed the highest and Obama will eventually end the war in Iraq. I also care about the environment and so I'm voting for Obama. I also care about pro choice and will vote for Obama. I do not need social programs because I have a great career but I do think it is important to help the less fortunate so we can get a stronger America.

I would like to apologize to all the gay people out there, whether you be black or white, fat or short, republican or democrat. Matt Damon isn't smart enough to be gay...because gay people have better political insight than Matt Damon. So, instead I would like to take this opportunity to just call him a complete "shithead".

Thank YOu.

586 - I've done management consulting in Manhattan and I don't know *anyone* that closed deals or talked business in aerobics class or afterward over "chocolate and soda".

I do know one lady who does this - my 66 year old suburban retired mother. She also does things like picks blackberries and makes 5 pies in one day. Absolutely awesome mom? Yes! Vice President of the United States of America? No flipping way.

I want a strong, tough, experienced woman in the white house not June Cleaver. Jesus, Sarah Palin would probably be too busy knitting baby booties for her impending grandchild to be bothered with things like, oh, National Security issues.

She sounds like a great mom and a fun gal but NOT Veep material!

Matt Damon is my hero because even though he's a complete buffoon and mentally incompetent....by golly!...I'll die to protect his constitutional right for free speech.

God bless you Matt Damon...you filthy ignorant slob you.

600!

What's the new buzz word going around for this type of moron ... Oh yeah ... CELEB-U-TARD. Yup, fits like a glove, nice job Mat you win! Please exit to your left to pick up your award ... Thank you.

601 :' (

I want to keep Matt Damon's brain in a jar on my mantle.

Now you people may think that sounds unpractical or unrealistic....but think about
the damage he could cause if we let him keep it.

#598

honestly, i just want to acknowledge you are the first person on any of these sites to not tear her to superficial bits based on her 'mothering' skills.

i don't agree with the june cleaver analogy (i don't think mrs. cleaver hunted moose) but i appreciate your opinion as it is not based on what kind of a parent she is.

#523: cyelsm, you don't get sarcasm, DIMwit.

To Dimocrats attacking Palin's experience when comparing her to Obama, who has MARGINALLY more experience, perhaps your online political circle-jerks have led you to believe that Palin is running for President. In fact, it's MCCAIN who Obama is running against, and it's MCCAIN who has vastly more experience, life experiences, and character.

Having a VP seeing what the presidency is about firsthand (Palin) seems like a much better idea than a President who doesn't have a clue (Obama). That seems to be what happened with Bush, and you can tell everyone how that worked out.

She has the personal and professional strength to step up and confront challenge, and will help this country do the same. Obama just flip-flops like a scared fish (i.e. now agrees he would 'temporarily' keep the tax cuts on the wealthy because doing otherwise would be bad for the economy, instead of immediately repealing them if inaugurated). So to all the Tyler Durden-wannabes, sounds like Obama's not the class crusader you think he is.

Shut up and try to act, Damon.

Matt Damon, you suck and I will never watch one of your BAD movies again, don't wish any harm but hope you die before McCain, so you get what your bleeding heart deserves, you scum bag!

Matt Damon, you suck and I will never watch one of your BAD movies again, don't wish any harm but hope you die before McCain, so you get what your bleeding heart deserves, you scum bag!

Matt Damon......just two abortions away from the white house. You've got my vote......you retard.

All you Anti McCain people are going off assumptions.The fact is Obama is not very experienced (check his record) and is all about him self not this country.It has been proven that when it comes crunch time Obama rarely acts and/or lack there of.The last thing anyone wants is an inactive president . and Matt Damon is a suck ass

@588: Hahaha... I love how wing-nuts claim to have won a argument, pat themselves on the back after jerking off all over the post about how manly they are, then tell you not to respond. I think we all know who is the little, insecure loser.

"Not to sound like a crazy grammar police Democrat but do you mean to say are rather than is."

Oh, did the grammar Nazi forget his question mark? Awwwwwww...

"My tax dollars might not be much to a person of your wealth and station in life"

They would if I was a Rethuglican.

"public school system which feeds liberal propoganda."

Damn, I know. Facts. They have such a liberal bias.

"I just happen to be a fiscal conservative"

Yet you vote for the party which runs up the most Debt. That makes a lot of sense...

"I bet you would loose the pompous front if you were amongst good old boys from the deep south or the midwest."

Are you "loosing" the spelling war too? I'm not afraid of your lily-white "good old boys". Inbred white trash are only a threat to themselves.

"I am capapble of pulluing myself up by my boot straps"

No, you're capable of extreme hypocrisy by trying to point out the spelling and grammar of others when you can barely type.

"I attended one of the most prestigous schools around"

Yet, you won't mention it. Wow, you must be proud, yet you still can't spell "prestigious".

" Being able to find America on a map does not make you MENSA material or even abnormally smart"

Funny you mention it, because I am a member of MENSA. Your insults don't absolve the American public of their general stupidity compared to the rest of the industrialized world.

"You are pathetic, insecure and would like to think of yourself as special and smart You are pedestrian, a pretender without gumption. You, Johnny, are the lreal oser and the pawn."

Damn, I've never been called a "lreal oser" before. What does that mean? Am I pretending to be a pedestrian or am I just not good at being a pedestrian? I bet you were typing so hard down in your mom's basement that she screamed those last few lines down the stairs at you. It's not nice to plagiarize your mom, you know.

"Please do not bother to reply. I will not answer or waste my time with a rebuttal. I have called your bluff and you know it. Go home."

I'm so confused now. I am already home. Should I go outside and then come back? If I do, will you still waste your own time? Should I bluff, since I haven't already? So many choices, so little time. Well, cheer up, douche bag. When Obama is elected, maybe all of you rednecks will get a tax break.

#572 Bullet Bob

It's good to hear from a fellow Canadian who doesn't blindly and ignorantly declare the "liberal" to be the best. I feel the same way. While I LIKE some of Obama's ideas and promises, he has given NO substantial answer as to how he could possibly follow through on the promises and talk. This worries me, especially with a guy with so little experience. I ALSO worry that he's another Clinton. Slick, says the popular thing, doesn't mean a word of it. A consumate politician, able to deliver the speech, but will sway in the wind and never get anything substantial done. I am not a huge Mccain fan, I would rather have seen Romney, for example, be the nominee but I'll tkae him anyday over Obama.

In any case, unless Matt Damon can give well thought out and informed reasoning (not a tv interview...perhaps a lengthy article) as to his political inclinations, I have no reason whatsoever to give his soundbites any merit. Nothing in his background or accomplishments lead me to believe his opinion to be of value.

let me tell you something Matt, you don't know anything about politics, you are just actor. shut the fuck up!!! mister bl....bl...bl..

Matt Damon is an idiot. I will never pay for or watch a Matt Damon movie again. Wise up you pretty boy - half the country is republican...and now they won't be paying to see Matt Damon!!!!

1) matt damon: hilarious!!! ;2) please remember Illinois, located in the midwest, is blue!; and 3) why have all the reds become so fucking anti-intellectual??? Seriously, is it that bad to have a brilliant mind (republican or democrat) leading our country?...(and i am not suggesting that Obama is brilliant). but you tried the monkey in the suit and it didn't work for our country. i was really impressed when mccain announced palin as his VP choice. and then guess what-- i actually have internet access!! ugghhh. there had to have been a better female candidate then palin in the republican party. pitbull with lipstick??? i went to grammar school with nuns who would chew her up and spit her out. TALK IS CHEAP ....FOR ALL CANDIDATES!! the london daily said it best after the 2004 election: " how could 49mln americans be so stupid!"

Matt - YOU DA Man!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for pissing off all these stupid Republicans. You especially pissed of Sandy Johnson, so good for you!!! Kudos!!!!!

Matty! That was incredibly smug, condescending and totally expected from someone like you. Thanks for another reason not to change my vote to the Messiah. By the way, your Mom has meat curtains that hang to her knees.

How is it possible in all these comments nobody has mentioned the fact that Obama was president of HARVARD LAW REVIEW.

Thanks Matt Damon for putting the smack down on that stupid white trash dental hygienist look-alike.

Tonight one of Matt's movie star pals, Susan Sarandon, said 'Jesus was a community organizer, and Pontius Pilate was a governor'.

Seriously? Jesus?

nice to know matt damon is smart as well as amazing looking

Matt Damon is an idiot who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. But in reality he is a liberal puke who would gladly see this country go down the tubes just to prove that Americans are mean spirited. I would rather punch him in the face than watch one of his half ass acted movies. F you punk! Get a clue as your man Obama is as clueless as you are and would do his best to ruin this country if he gets the chance.

@614-624--WE GET IT!

Matt Damon, AKA Jason Bourne, is afraid of a hockey mom, former mayor, current governor? What else is Matt afraid of, his own shadow?

"Obama was president of HARVARD LAW REVIEW"

I'm captain of my softball team and president of the "Potsie Webber Fan Club". I guess I'll be running for president in 2012!!!

Julie... IT'S A MAGAZINE!!!

It doesn't count as experience.

well there goes all my respect for Matt Damon.
I love that he thinks his celebrity status gives him power in the political realm.

If you still support Palin at this point, you are thinking with your little head.Take your hand off and slap yourself.Maybe you will knock some sense into yourself.

If you still support Palin at this point, you are thinking with your little head.Take your hand off and slap yourself.Maybe you will knock some sense into yourself.

So Matt quotes a clearly-marked parody site as gospel and that makes him a genius? No wonder people fall for Obama's gibberish.

Matt Damon = WIN.

/Thank you

McCain could've had it... there's lots and lots of very qualified women out there.... but he picked one with the least qualifications because his "strategists" think a younger woman will get him the youth and female vote. Countries aren't led by polls and strategists!

\It would've been a tough choice till he went and did that. Now, go Obama.

It's ridiculous how many people think that Matt Damon doesn't have a right to opinion. Actors have the right to voice an opinion, just like dentists, teachers etc. Also, you obviously care what he thinks otherwise you wouldn't have clicked the link. Finally, this is America... everyone's entitled to be wrong here; though I agree with his comments.

Note to Matt Damon - watch the 'Message To Obama' on U-Tube from a guy with ONE LEG who has BEEN there! Do you think because you are a so-called 'actor' you have more insight than a SOLDIER about what's going on in the world? You are a pampered pussy-ass IDIOT.

How DARE you question the experience of a competent U.S. Governor? She has knowledge and EXPERIENCE. Where is Obama's experience, organizing a community, ACTING like he's ALREASDY the President by visiting Germany?

You're almost as pompous an ass as Obama is. "Acting' - WOW - you're a mental giant aren't you?

Hey Underoo-

Palin is MORE qualified to be President than Obama. But nevermind that - if your peabrain can stick with me that long....

McCain is more an American hero than YOU are an American embarrassment.

I was for Palin after the speech but then I saw her with Charlie Gibson and she looks grossly unprepared. She didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine is, and just floundered like a child as he explained it to her. And she believes our war is God's will. Too fanatical for me. And anal-retentive. Just really off-putting. John Mccain's age concerns me too. He looked haggard tonight at Columbia.

I'm a Canadian and I always have been very interested in US politics because it has a huge impact on Canada. I don't understand the comments saying that Matt Damon is an actor and shouldn't be voicing his opinion on this topic. Isn't Matt Damon entitled to free speech? It isn't Matt Damon's fault that his personal political views are widely broadcast by American media. Do those that criticize Matt Damon for taking advantage of his celebrity to influence voters also criticize people of considerable wealth for donating large amounts to the political party they support; since, they are taking advantage of their monetary situation?

@646- For some reason, the Republicans feel like Sarah Palin should be off limits. Speaking ill of her is like speaking ill of Jesus Christ. Personally, I think they're all just showing what idiots they are. These same people say they don't like Bush, but are willing to vote for people that are already promising to carry out his agenda, only now waging war in Russia. I reckon no matter what, we're about ready for the rapture. If we mess with Russia, forget it. Be glad you're in Canada. Taking refugees???

Russia's a big concern to me too. I think Palin is just a little too eager to aim that hockey stick. She probably thinks its God's will.

Oh wait, Palin likes hockey? I change my mind, Matt Damon should shut his mouth.

Q: What's the difference between Sarah Palin and the greatest man ever?

A: Lipstick.

@649 : )

he's obviously THE MAN.

@25. Charlie - September 10, 2008 7:10 PM

It's sad that it took 25 comments for someone to finally point out the obvious flaw with the 'But Palin COULD become POTUS if McCain croaks and she doesn't have much experience at all!" argument.

Obama has just as little experience as she does. Hell, he's only been a Senator for 2 years and he, by his own admission, has been campaigning for 18 of those months. My math aint what it used to be but that tells me he's had all of 6 months of Senatorial experience and not much on the state senate level. (I am from Illinois and can tell you state senators do NOTHING but rubber stamp initiatives from Richard Daley and whoever is the governor at the moment)

The McCain ticket is far from perfect, but at least it has a guy who knows the game not a green POTUS and a VP who is an out and out bigot in every sense of the word.

@646. Byron Williams - September 12, 2008 12:40 AM
it is anyone else's right to free speech to say they think Damon should shut the fuck up because he sounds like a dunce. They are merely expressing an opinion not actively working on stifling his ability to speak his mind.
You're using the oldest most facile argument in the book to defend someone sounding like a dumbfuck.

I am an Australian. Everyone over here (and in the rest of the world) wants all of you Americans to vote for OBAMA please, because Sarah Palin represents what everyone in the world dislikes about you guys

@611

Thanks johnnyabnormal-- you made my day. I wasn't even going to bother kicking around this useless turd, but when I saw there were over 500 posts, curiosity got the best of me and I skimmed thru some of the comments. Lo and behold, I stumbled across our little friend "the nameless chameleon" (525, 528, 550, 588) only to find this mental midget has picked a fight with the wrong guy. I think I caused a few stares when I actually laughed out loud at your comments.

I was gonna leave him be, simply out of pity, (even though he was begging me to bust a nut all over him-- see #550) as it's clear in his posts he's quite insecure and defensive, and seems to get riled pretty easily. I find it interesting that he can't even pick a name to post with, verifying my initial impression that he is a simpering coward hiding behind an ever-changing name to hide any perceived clues to his identity (notice the faulty assumptions he made from mine). However, what he fails to understand is that littered throughout his ridiculous diatribes are the same basic errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar and word usage-- obviously the same rube. (How on Earth did he ever get that "degree" at that fancy prestigous [sic] skoool [sic]?) And then when he realizes he just doesn't have the equipment to win a battle of wits, he switches his tack and starts with the threats of bodily harm-- typical. (With a scary amount of pent-up rage and a desperate need for validation as well.)

Props on the smackdown. It was terribly funny to see that braying jackass get schooled. (Poor thing, do you see how hard he tries to impress anonymous posters on a celeb trash-talk site?) LMFAO

@641 and others who, for some reason, interpret the criticism against Damon and his views as claiming he doesn't have "the right" to voice his opinion.

Why do you think that just because some (well, acturally a lot of) people on this board think that he should STFU and that he's a retard, an idiot, a moron, et cetera that these people are claiming that Damon outright doesn't have the right to voice his opinions?

Of course, he has the right to voice his opinions in this country as much as we, the citizens of the U. S. have the right to disagree and criticise those views and state that he should STFU on a website because he's only a stupid Hollyweird actor.

See below by #599 Fernie:

Vagina?

@ basquiat : My pleasure, sir. I'll have to read your posts now, since I feared reading the whole thread would make my head implode. It is so common for the tough guys to puff up like gorillas, pounding their chests...maybe they are trying to disprove evolution? I think so. I have a theory that would probably offend most:

Religion conditions people to accept rumor/fiction as fact. Then these people are primed for propaganda through misinformation and distraction. Once you have both of these, do you have our current condition. Only then do you see science demonized, intelligence treated with jealousy and zealots shouting nonsense over all logic and reason. The proof is all in the thread above. Half of the nation is ready to elect a warmonger and a vice president who thinks her imaginary friend rode dinosaurs 2,000 years ago:

Those of us who are smart will say, "I'm voting for Obama, sorry we let a evangelical chimpanzee run the USA for the last 8 years". Those of us who are stupid will say, "SHUT UP DOUCHE BAG AND DON'T FORGET WE BAILED YOU OUT OF WW2, GO SUCK A MUSLIM COCK!" etc, etc...ad nauseam. I'm sure you already know this...

658 is @ 656. Max D.

@653 jelena:

"I am an Australian. Everyone over here (and in the rest of the world) wants all of you Americans to vote for OBAMA please, because Sarah Palin represents what everyone in the world dislikes about you guys"

Oh, no! Did you see this, my fellow Americans?! We all had better vote for Obama or the Aussies and the rest of the world won't like us.

Oh, please! This isn't some stupid, freaking popularity contest! And believe me, NOT EVERYONE in Australia or the rest of world--those that are smarter and more informed-- feel the same as you.

@660:

Actually I think they might feel the same. And for the more informed and smarter people it is probably doubly true.

I would tickle his prostate with my tongue if he were sitting next to me right now.

I am a a VERY PROUD American living abroad and I can speak to the notion that the rest of the world (even those we have a 'special relationship' with, the Brits) don't like us! More often than not, the first question I get asked when I meet people is, "Do you support GWBush?" To which I say no, and only then will they become friendly toward me. I'm sorry to say, but most of the people here who don't think our likeability abroad matters are in for a world of pain when they finally realize that the US is a FALTERING single super power, with China (and India) sneaking up behind us on the world stage. We cannot get away with being isolationists anymore because live in a global economy where the actions of our nation effects all others and vice versa.

For the previous comment that Obama is "acting like the president" by going to Germany - I think him forging relationships with other countries is an asset to our country. Unlike Bush, who had never left the US before he became president (scary).

And as for experience, as I said previously: Yes, Obama's inexperience rivals Palin's. But he chose a very experienced VP, so that he has a right-hand man with an adequate amount of experience. The problem with McCain/Palin is that if/when McCain dies, we are left with ONLY Palin, who doesn't know the issues, hasn't followed national or international politics until a week ago when she became VP candidate, and is so absurdly right wing that she wants to throw our country back into the dark ages in terms of policy.

As for those with religious convictions: it is God, and only God, who is able to judge us for our lives on earth. Therefore, it is not the role of the government to impede our ability to make choices. If God indeeds condemns homosexuality, there is no reason for our government to do it in life. If God intends for life to begin at conception, why legislate against abortion? It is His will, and His judgment that will condemn these 'sinners' upon their death. That is the fundamental truth to take home. We have a separation of church and state and it is important to remember that it is God's, and not the President's, choice to condemn us for our choices.

What I would really like to hear from the Republican's here is a rational argument for the beliefs they hold, rather than immediately jumping on me for being a 'fag' or a 'fatty' or a 'pussy' or something as mundane as a 'liberal hippie.' I have my beliefs, and I can back them up! Someone from the other side... please do the same.

I weep for the future. Creationists, Book Banning, Hockey Mom VP. America is turning into a clown college.....

@660

Okay, I agree that probably the majority of the population that inhabit the earth don't like us Americans. But as far as ALL of them fawning over Obama? No.

666th! OH YEAH!!!

We're all fucked.........i'm not an American, and am proud of it. However this election effects the whole world. Matt Damon...who cares what he says...but McCain who i would have backed until he chose this Palin idiot as his VP. And the other side....Hillary, thank fuck she's not in the running. Obama, i'd be worried if i was i rich white guy "Matt"....do you guys really think that Mr Obama doesn't have some race issuse lurking under that smile of his...all this election seems to hae been about since the start is having the first woman president or black president or even first soccer mom as Vice president. I agree with Matt on this, McCain looks very likley to drop dead during his precidency. So i ask you the American people this most important question.....would YOU fuck Sarah Palin?

CREATIONISTS ARE TOTAL RETARDS......

WHERE THE FUCK DO THE DINOSAURS FIT IN YOUR SILLY LITTLE THEORY.

Please read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins (If you can)

Also check out "The Age of Reason" by Philip S. Foner

And finally would you let Sarah Palin suck you off (or munch on your muffin...if your a girl)?

i think OBAMA should be president.
why?
HOW MANY chances will there be for another COLOURED man to be nominated for US presidency???!
there will ALWAYS be white guys in the white house, TIME FOR A CHANGE

Is that an argument for Obama, seriously? Seriously? Just don't talk. Urgh, now I can't watch him in any more movies without being totally annoyed! Sarah Palin has WAY more experience than Obama and Biden combined. Does Damon read???? She's actually made tough decisions and throw out corrupt Democrats and Republicans. How about a little research about the candidates Damon. Just makes me think some people shouldn't have the "right to vote".

Matt Damon is an idiot. What makes his opinion worth jackshit? He is a liberal scumbag from corrupt and immoral Hollywood commenting on politics.

Funny part is, all of his arguments against Palin also apply to Obama. Personally I would rather see Palin standing up to Putin than Obama the Marxist.

Just remember, if you don't vote, you cant bitch.

This will be the U.S's second and probably final chance to isolate the rest of the world. Of course the usual (and certainly exemplified in the case of George W bush) American response is probably fuck the rest of the world - what business is it of theirs.

We all watch incredulous as Palin is even involved politically. The terms Liberal and Marxist are anachronisms...being outward looking and taking a world view is more what we seem to see Obama doing outside of the US. There is a world outside the U.S. and Americans can either choose to be a part of it or head increasingly towards isolation.

...and Empty suit

With regards to not everyone in the world feeling the same as Jelena in Australia. They pretty much do - If you travel outside the states just ask. Of course it's none of our business but we look on incredulous...the only thing I'm kind of sure of is that asking for the U.S. to vote for Obama will end in a 'nuke 'em' type petulance that prompts at least 30-40 % of the country deliberately voting McCain in defiance.

Only interested in facts here (Please review)

Please take a moment to confirm that Sarah Palin is suing the goverment for listing polar bears as endangered. There are dozens of sources of this as well as copies of the actual filing on behalf of Governor Palin.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/30/AR2008083001538.html

Also, review the difference in tax plans (pulled from each campaigns site) on the chart here.

While BOTH candidates propose approximately 2% tax reduction, look at the difference between the candidates views on who would actually get substantial tax breaks

Regarding : 670. simon - September 12, 2008 8:28 AM

I believe in true research, I had not heard of her throwing any corrupt officials(especially members of her own party) out of the government of Alaska or anywhere for that matter. I'm truly curious and it would help reassure my vote for her if I saw something substantial to this effect please?

Please show me the research on her experience out weighing Joe Biden please?

ya know, honestly, who really gives a rat's ass what he or any of the other celebrities think when it comes to politics? I swear if there were an option for anarchy and hedonism on the ticket, they would push it and say fuck the dems

I LOVE MATT DAMON!!

I HATE SARAH PALIN!!

Well, while you (Matt) wasted your breath doing this interview you could have found out something about her rather than criticize her. 2006 to present she was govenor, 1996-2002 she was the mayor, how much more experience does she need? She is only 44. Matt you are super qualified because you are celebrity to use your platform for the better of the country. There is nothing american about Obama. He spent less than 150 days in the senate and thinks he is qualified to run a country? McCain has served his country and did so with pride and carried out his promise to his country, that is american.

@663. THANK YOU!!!!

@678. THANK YOU!!!!

Matt Damon's my new hero.

Who does this punk think he is in regard to mouthing off? She has far more experience than even the presidential candidate on the dem side... shut up Damon or we won't pay you millions to make movies anymore... being a movie star doesn't give you political knowledge you idiot!

Has Matt Damon ever really starred in any good movies?? I know I don't have any on my shelf!! Matt, did anyone ever tell you that you look like the Hunchback from one of Disney's movies!!!

I'd fuck Matt Damon after watching this.

(I apologize if this is a near-duplicate comment of one previous, from someone else who thinks they are witty.)

So much harping on the fact that he's a celebrity and thus should stick to what he knows... With that kind of logic, it's not wonder this country has gone completely down the drain. Were we to adhere to such logic, this thread wouldn't exist with SO many posts. I doubt many of you are political analysts, so your opinions are about as valid as Matt Damon's in that world.

Were we to qualify the world, everyone sticking to what he/she knows, and only those qualified to make the decisions voting, we'd be a much more liberal country.

Why can't he have his own opinion? I think Palin is a Joke, but no one is lining up to ask me my opinion. So I'll let Matt Damon speak for me instead. I'm sure he is not the only one! He just has the balls to say it. Spread the word....

Obama/Biden 08'

Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Lebanon, etc...probably want Americans to elect Obama.

Isn't that a good reason why they shouldn't?

McCain/Palin 2008

Ok so anyone who thought he was being sexist is just looking for a reason to disagree with what he said becuase they know EVERYTHING else is true.... how can a person elect someone they know NOTHING about and who has little political experience compared to the other candidates!!!!!!!!

This ass clown needs to shut his mouth and act in his movies. I don't give a Shit what his political opinions are. Why do people in Hollywood think they know anything about politics? You are an actor not a political analyst. Go act and STFU.

@688

Once again... What experience does Obama have?

Tell me about the books that she's banning.

Also, what's up with the dinosaurs?

Matt Damon has the right to say what he wants.

The media is retarded for asking his opinion.

Those who look to Matt Damon for political guidance are beyond retarded!

Tsk Tsk Tsk.....

Damn Matty.........you sure know how to piss people off.

After literally reading each and every post on this site, I am about to unleash the following facts:

1) Half the country is blue and the other is red. So you just fucked yourself right there. Cuz the truth is I'm Red and so I will not be purchasing a Matt Damon Bobble Head doll this Christmas.

2) You're an actor. People frown down on actors/entertainers political views because you have an unfair advantage of having access to being on TV more than most other people. Under the constitution you have every right to your opinion....but nobody wants to hear it because you do NOT struggle like everyone else does in this country because you are well off.

3) You're a MEDIOCRE actor at best. You're no Gary Coleman buddy! And stop pretending that you are. You're a Ben Affleck at best and you know it.

4) You're un-informed and a limp-wristed pansy! Why? Because you get paid to "pretend". And as soon as you decide to voice your opinion on something as important as the political future of this country you come up with the lamest most sissified comments I've ever heard. If Walt Disney were still around today he would have walked up to you and slapped your fucking Mickey Mouse hat right off your head...cuz that's the kind of man Walt was.

5) It's bad enough that there are celebrities out there who are walking around with their heads up their asses like Tom Cruise (Scientologist), Oprah Winfrey (Black woman who wants to be white and acts white yet won't interview Sarah Palin because she's jealous she's whtie) and Michael Richards (Need I say more).

6) You're only doing this because your birthday is coming up and you're trying to use it as free publicity otherwise you would have made your shitty little comments the second you found out Obama was running against McCain like a good little liberal would have. Instead you took your time waiting for something to jump on and now you're trying to capitalize on it you filthy, wormy scab you.

7) Nobody likes a baby-killer. And you sir are not only a baby-killer. You're a hypocritical baby-killer. Why didn't you flush your two daughter down the toilet before they were born? Why? Because you could AFFORD it? Fuck You Matt Damon!

8) You're voting for an UNQUALIFIED black man because you're trying to be hip just like every other moron who is going to vote for Obama. Do you know how many black people ARE NOT going to vote for Obama? Why don't you ask them why.

9) Obama tries to act as if he's proud of his black ancestry but the truth is he aspires to be white. That's why he acts white, eats like a white man, dresses like a white man and thinks like a white man and ironically the majority of the black population are eating it up. He dumped his church pastor because he didn't want to be associated with someone who wears a Dashiki everyday....how fucking ironic is THAT?!

10) What are you going to do Matty now that everyone knows how ignorant and smug you really are? How are you going to bullshit your way out of this one to film producers and fans and marketing executives and the countless other people who didn't even know you were like this. What are you going to do when it starts effecting your MONEY! You nimrod!!! You're going to be a pitiful flip-flopper just like the man you're going to vote for.

@692. Fernie:

Here's a fact:

1) You're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Political discourse on The Superficial... I always make this my first online stop for keen rhetorical insight on the nature of politics.

^^^^Here's another (rather scary) fact:

1) Fernie (and a whole shitload of tards just like him / her / it ) are able to vote. (well, in theory, anyway...)

Ahhhhhh.............I love addressing the people. This is what I live for. And that fact that I'm such an attention whore....probably the only thing I have in common with Obama.

"1) Half the country is blue and the other is red. So you just fucked yourself right there. Cuz the truth is I'm Red and so I will not be purchasing a Matt Damon Bobble Head doll this Christmas."

Wrong, Fernie. Half of the VOTERS are red and the other is blue. That's a very important distinction.

And the rest of your commentary is your opinion (Oprah and Obama trying to be white, for example... Matt Damon being a "baby-killer"...), so you're entitled to it, no matter how ignorant. Or perhaps obstinate is a better word, since "pro-choice" doesn't mean "pro-abortion", no matter how many times the right tries to pretend otherwise.

@ 109 (comeonpeople)

I know this should have been said at least about 500 posts ago, but DAMN you hit it right on the head. Well done.

Shut up, Matt Damon.

Damon is a tool. B. Hussein Obama has less experience and more extreme view than she does. What a Lib Dem shill! Shut the fnck up, Matt, nobody cares what you think.

@700. Tom: Yeah, because we all care about what the "fnck" you think. Idiot.

I love penguin meat.

Sorry. I guess that comes with the territory. (Me being a Cons Rep) But seriously, can you really expect me to have any proper command of the English language when my belief system is so backwards? I, like all good Cons Reps, believe that they should hand out guns at birth, keep sex ed out of the schools, make everyone pray to Jeebus in the public schools, shun those wicked, immoral babykillers, constantly remind all fags they are perverts (and going straight to hell), institute the death penalty for all crimes over jaywalking, and most importantly (this is KEY) that my views are always right (cuz it says so right in the Bible) and who ever disagrees with me is a pinko commie left wing anti-american traitor, and most likely going to hell. Also, I do not consider myself racist (because I have an african-american friend named Carl. uh, or is it Cal? No, wait-- it's James.) but anyone who has a name like B. Hussain Obama is obviously a terrorist. If he were smart, he would have changed it to something more wholesome and American, like "Timothy" and a nice, non-sinister last name like "McVeigh".

Now if you will excuse me, I have a congregation to lead, some boyscouts to molest, a hooker to smoke meth with (good to have church after payday! $$$ ) and then it's back home to the wife and kids. God Bless America!

oh yea-- and the Dems are a bunch of mealy-mouthed hypocrites.

Tom, you're awesome!

But would you do her????? I asked the question and everyone convieniently over looked this most pressing of issues...would you do her and how many people will vote just cause they would....hey guys it's the first time in history that you can say "the vice president sure has a nice ass....i'd like to get me some of that". With out being punched in the face. (Or getting some weird looks....depends where you come from). I am still weighing the options....is she MILF or not....i'd have to say I don't know, cause up until 2 days ago I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE BITCH.

PS - Who's Obama's running mate....Halle Barry?

.....Ok.....fuck just found out that Obama's running mate is called Biden.

Are you all blind "Obama Biden" - " Osama Binladen" -

Can this be mere coincidence? I THINK NOT.

......on to more pressing matters....would you fuck Sarah Palin.

I'm tired of the Hypocrisy

If you're a minority and you're selected for a job over more qualified candidates you're a 'token hire.' If you're a conservative and you're selected for a job over more qualified andidates you're a 'game changer.'

Black teen pregnancies? A 'crisis' in black America; white teen pregnancies? A blessed event.'

If you grow up in Hawaii you're 'exotic.' Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you're the quintessential 'American story.'

Similarly, if you name you kid Barack you're 'unpatriotic.' Name your kid Track; you're 'colorful.'

If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you're 'reckless.'  A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a 'maverick.'

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization
from  a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then become the  first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African American voters,  spend 12 years as a  Constitutional Law professor, then spend nearly 8 more  years as a State  Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, =2 0becoming chairman  of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly  4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of  nearly 13 million people, sponsoring=2
0131 bills
and serving on the Foreign Affairs,  Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you are  woefully inexperienced.

  If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the  mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, then you've got the most executive experience of anyone  on either ticket, are the Commander in Chief of the Alaska military and are  well qualified to lead the nation should you be called

upon to do so because  your state is the closest state to Russia .

If you are a Democratic male candidate who is popular with millions of people you are an 'arrogant celebrity'. If you are a popular republican female candidate you are 'energizing the base'.

If you are a younger male candidate who thinks for himself and makes his own decisions you are 'presumptuous'.

If you are an older male candidate who makes last minute decisions you refuse to explain, you are a 'shoot from the hip' maverick.

If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are 'an elitist-out of touch' with the real America.

If you are a legacy (dad and granddad were admirals) graduate of Annapolis, with multiple disciplinary infractions you are a hero.

If you manage a multi-million dollar nationwide cam paign, you are an 'empty
suit'.

If you are a part time mayor of a town of 7000 people, you are an 'experienced executive'.

If you go to a south side Chicago church, your beliefs are 'extremist'.
If you believe in creationism and don't believe global warming is man made, you are 'strongly principled'.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian. If you have been married to the same woman with whom you've been wed to for 19 years and raising 2 beautiful daughters with, you're 'risky'.

If you're a black single mother of 4 who waits for 22 hours after her water breaks to seek medical attention, you're an irresponsible parent,
endangering the life of your unborn child. But if you're a white married mother who waits 22 hours, you're spunky.

If you're a 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton, the right-wing press calls you 'First dog.' If you're a 17-year old pregnant unwed daughter of a Republican, the right-wing press calls you 'beautiful' and 'courageous.'

If you kill an endangered species, you're an excellent hunter. If you have an abortion you're not a Christian, you're a murderer (forget about if it happen while being date raped©)

If you teach abstinence only in sex education, you get teen parents. If you teach responsible age appropriat e sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

DDC
Average is the Enemy of Excellence!

Darthjedi is 100% right. I will admit it was a very smart move picking Palin to inject a little photogenic charm into McCain's heretofore lackluster campaign but if he wins then the whole country is fucked. Although I support Obama I don't think McCain is evil or anywhere near as incompetent as Dubya. Maybe he genuinely wants to change things. The inescapable fact, though, is he is an old man and not an especially healthy one. Picking Palin as a running mate to score from free press (check) and a bump up in the polls (double check) is one thing. Having this woman as PRESIDENT -- considering the state America is already in before either candidate takes office -- is another matter. Matt Damon hit the nail on the head. Everyone on this board who's badmouthing him are just too blinded by their visceral hatred for Obama the Elitist Muslim Closet Gangsta to really hear what Damon's saying. Because, Hollywood actor or not, every word he said is true.

scottlah, so you feel that everyone in the entire rest of the world feels the way you do? What, you've traveled every corner of the world and have met the entire 6 billion people to come to your conclusion? Wow, whatever you're smoking, I want some.

Dude, I've met some ex-pats here in the U.S. who understandibly hate Bush, yet, at the same time, they aren't exactly thrilled about Obama either. And I've read enough message boards (even on this very one) from foreigners who don't trust him or think he's some kind of a messiah. Your statement is ridiculous.

Only gullible simpletons believe in inside jobs and conspiracy theories.

You damn well that Obama wants to have sex with Sarah Palin...because he hates that melodramatic banshee he calls his wife.

Well said, 707. I couldn't agree more.

Here's one of my personal faves...

Girl has sex = easy
Girl enjoys sex = whore
Girl has lots of sex = deviant slut
Girl has child out of wedlock = irresponsible

Double if she's under 18.

Guy has sex = normal
Guy enjoys sex = healthy
Guy has lots of sex = badge of honor
Guy has child out of wedlock = so what? (and on to the next one...)

It would be a cold day in hell before I would let the Conservative Republicans take away my right to choose, and co-opt my own body to be used as a vessel (here's the irony) to birth more females into this world who ALSO are nothing more than this. Life is not worth living without choice. (And before any of you start hurling your wrong-headed accusations, I am sterile BY CHOICE, I chose adoption over having my own, and yes I AM married-- to a lovely man. ...and I proudly worship at the altar of cock.) I would fight until my dying breath my right to individual sovereignty, and that means throwing my support behind the only candidate that not only supports my right to choose, but is in line with nearly all of my LIBERAL (gasp!) viewpoints. Obama 08 !!

706 please see 710...

Sound like anyone you know?

*sneaks in quietly over the weekend*
*soaks entire thread with gasoline*
(glug glug glug)
*quietly flicks a lit cigarette at the shiny pool of accelerant*
FFFWWWWWOOOOOMMMM !!!

Now I'll just piss all over the smoldering ashes, and the 'Fish guy can rest easy that his wish for this comment board has come full circle.

Oh. and this whole Kim Kardashian's ass thing-- If you want to see the world's biggest ass, check out Bill Maher. This douche never fails to dissapoint.

You'd think with your country's economy and social fabric in the state it is in, you'd want someone diplomatic in the top job, who knows how to pick their battles - and knows how to properly cost it. Polls outside of the US overwhelmingly (4-1) suggest people would prefer Obama in the white house. Not countries that want to invade you. Just average citizens in developed countries who can't even believe the last 8 years happened in your once respected nation.

And to those who criticize "liberals" for comparing Palin and Obama, when they should be comparing McCain and Obama - maybe you should be asking the Republican P.R. machine why THEY keep kindling peripheral debates about the "lipstick incident" or whatever other disingenuous outrage they decide to run with? I mean, I'm thousand of kilometers away from this campaign, and it can nauseate me from here. It's pretty obvious the Republicans are pushing her to the front to AVOID engaging in any policy debate, because lets face it, that's where the Dems have a prospect of gaining traction.

But I'm guessing McCain is gonna win. It'll be sad watching you guys sucumbs to the eventual economic ruin that a myopic, military-driven agenda brings. So, uh...yeah...Good luck with that!

Obviously, she never said what this typical Hollywood college dropout eurasian is telling everyone she said. She represents all Americans of every concern, but leave it to this homeless whiner to screw those words up to his satisfaction.

El Diablo, like Damon and Obama, is a poser. They speak lies, yet, still, no one cares what they think.

Ooooooh "Poser". Is that really the best you can come up with?

Someone a little cranky because their country is screwed? :D

It's okay. Here, have a cookie and some milk and the republicans will make it all better.

fact: palin did ask about banning books, did fire the librarian who opposed the idea, however allowed her to be rehired because of public outcry.

fact: palin is a pentacostal and the majority of these people are young earth creationists who believe the earth was formed within the last 10,000 years. in fact, surprisingly, the majority of americans think the earth was formed within the last 10,000 years.

fact: damon was off in his actuary tables. excuse: mccain has had bouts with cancer, and was a pow for 5 years (considerable amount of stress), so it wouldnt be surprising if he did die within his first term.

fact: official mccain/palin response to questions about palins national security credentials is she knows about oil because alaska has it, and alaska is close to russia on a map. no joke.

fact: all who think palin is okay as president is fucking retarded beyond all doubt.

fact: matt damon rocks.

Fact:
#718 fuck palins stupid ass. here are some facts. is a douche bag
Fact:
Anyone who thinks Matt Damon rocks needs a psychiatric evaluation
Fact:
All of your facts are false

If you live in California and are voting for Obama.....you're a retard.

If your name is Fernie and you live in space 720, you're a tard. (Why does this feel like a Jeff Foxworthy routine?)

Matt Damon is smarter than everyone who posted here. Unless there's anyone here to went to Harvard, too.

Matt Damon is smarter than everyone who posted here. Unless there's anyone here who* went to Harvard, too.

California tends to be a blue state, Fernie... deal with it.

To all the people who are saying they don't care what Matt Damon thinks, Didnt you click on the video to get it to play? It isn't like he came to your house and started ranting. You clicked on the video to see what he had to say, because apparently you cared enough to spend a few minutes listening to it. Then when you realized that you didn't agree with him you decided that you didn't care.
If you really didn't care, why play the video?

Thank you, Matt, for expressing what every level]headed American is thinking. Amen, brother : ) We need change.... not another awful Republican reign. Look where that has gotten us. You have to remember McCain was a huge Bush supporter (gag me with a spoon).

I don't see why people bother posting comments about how Palin or Damon or Obama or Biden or McCain is an idiot/asshole/moron/whatever...

obviously those of us who are democrats will vote democrat, and those who are republican will vote republican.

democrats think republicans are scary, republicans think dems are scary.

at the end of the day it's not about experience - i personally would rather have an inexperienced obama because i agree with what he stands for, and think republicans are the devil.

but i also understand that republicans will think obama is the worst thing that can happen to the us.

which is why we have elections, where people will vote and then one of the sides will win.

and whether the candidates, matt damon, or the folks who post comments are college grads or not, yale grads or janitors, is so beside the point that it's pathetic that people still even think like that. seriously people? getting a degree - even from an ivy league school - will not make an ignorant person stop being ignorant. (and yes, i went to university and i appreciate the value of education. but a person won't stop being a damn fool, or sexist, or homophobic, or small-minded, just because he or she went to college for 4 years.

the comment war is ... kind of idiotic.
(yes, i know, i commented too. because i find all this so ridiculous that i had to. but i realize it's just as pointless as everyone else's comments...).

A bad Disney Movie. Omg, so funny - but then so true.

Also agreeint with #109

Make sure everyone is going to vote!

Matt just articulated (not very well, but earnestly), what the rest of the world has been open mouthed with wonder at...Palin, very possibly will become (by default) the commander in chief of the largest military power in the world and a national economy on the brink of collapse...she's a goddahmed housewife with a minor, minor political brownie badge & a slightly disturbing view of what is normal, who's being used by the republicans to bring in the disgruntled Hillary voters...and there so stupid there actually falling for it....it's being operated like a game show...scarey times indeed...darker day's ahead for all...

So much for religious freedom...OMG she's a Christian and she doesn't believe that the world is millions and millions of years old!

See those people who believe the world is that old is basing it on Carbon dating, Carbon dating determines on how old things are by measuring the carbon in them.

Well this Carbon dating that people believe in 100% is the same Carbon dating that was done on a freshly killed seal and the carbon dating showed that it was 1,300 years old.

So make fun of our HISTORIC written bible, but what defense and proof do you have?? Carbon dating is not accurate, and can only be accurate at the most up to a few thousand years, not millions! So belittling the Christian belief of how old the world may be is insane when your way is just as "unrelieable".

Jeesh what is wrong with people...Matt Damon needs to STFU and just act

Great video

what's the difference. It's gonna be dick-sucking jews (see article/pictures: http://www.come-and-hear.com/editor/br-smc/index.html), controlling the white house (see article and pictures: http://www.radioislam.org/jewish-photos/manipulat-the-wold/world-leaders-manipulated.htm).

also look up the website for jdl (jewish defense league) who are trying to bring US down from within.

who gives a shit about who the president will be.

Are you people still talking about ol' shit for brains Damon? lol

No one's posted anything for the past few days because of the financial crisis. I for one am glad the bailout is happening. Furthermore....I'm happy that Washington Mutual took a giant dump...because years ago they took $1,000 Dollars out of MY checking account and then sent ME to collections for it and ruined my credit. Anyway..........

“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Thank you Mark Twain

“I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that’s a really scary thing… I don’t know anything about her and in eight weeks, I don’t think I’m going to know anything about her. Thanks Matt Damon

Hey Matty!! How can you make an informed decision based on NOT Knowing!

Thanks Matt.....you really are a genius.....................

Hey Matty you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind...hey matty! Hey Matty!
Hey Matty you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind...hey matty! Hey Matty!

matt damon is a potical no- nothing, liberal, hollywood, partyliner. I love him as a actor but as a potical adviser he is very un inform by his own words he should keep his month shut.
