Matt is another typical that speaks without any substance. Now you can see why the Democrats have a problem. Speaking of qualifications on experience what does Obama, who is running for President have? Was he afraid of that? Now come on all you hollywood people this is real life and not something dreamed. I am tired of your acting (like you know politics). Just do your acting on the screen and let the people that are willing to help this nation do their job.

To Sam: Yes. And your mangling of the Senator’s name only demonstrates your bigotry.
To Joe Washburn: It seems to me that Damon raised some very substantive points. How about addressing them instead of trying to change the subject?

Matt Damon isn’t “acting like he knows politics.” Matt Damon is expressing the concern that many Americans are feeling since Palin entered this race. Thankfully someone is starting the conversation.

I don’t understand how Matt Damon’s concerns have no substance. I am frightened for this country and glad that someone is talking about it.

A RESPONSE TO ACTOR MATT DAMON …
MATT …
Everyone knows that you and Ben Afflick have been in the tank for Obama, way before Palin even entered the campaign.
You’re just an actor. Your lines are written for you, just like a speech writer creates the lines for Obama. A director tells you what to do each moment . Make-up people and costurme designers work on your appearance. Other than that, you’re just like anybody else, except you seem to think that since you’re
a manufactured celebrity, your opinion means more, but it doesn’t.
QUESTION:
IS PALIN QUALIFIED COMPARED TO OBAMA ?
ANSWER:
http://townhall.com/blog/g/cba8713c-ef73-4ebc-aa5e-bc53e6596e2a&comments=true
Once again … if you compare McCain/Palin’s track record with Obama/Biden’s, it’s no contest. McCain/Palin are a hundred times more qualified to lead this country. McCain/Palin show scores of actual achievements and solid service to America, while once again, Obama’s track record is one of excessive absences from his responsibilities, and all talk with no actual experience, or contributions to America.
Like Governor Palin has pointed out … Obama had the time to write two memoirs, but never wrote one piece of significant legislation … not even when he was in the state legislature. Regarding earmarks, and the economy … If Obama gets elected, his irresponsible and clueless ideas for shifting America’s wealth would turn the U.S.A. into a third world country, with businesses laying off employees to keep their doors open. Obama’s ideas for national security would de-fang America and make us weak, putting us at the mercy of the world’s tyrants

I would have voted for McCain, (me, a lifelong Democrat!) until he picked that evil, wolf-killing madwoman from a little town in Alaska, who now thinks we should go to to war with RUSSIA!!!! Need I say more???
Now I feel the only solution for me is to not vote for either one. I won’t be a part of the destruction of this country, which I Love!

Palin would be out of her depth if she were voted in. GWB was! And the weird thing is, a lot of people are still clueless. The Republican Party stole the Presidency in 2000. Let’s all pray that it doesn’t happen again in ’08.
