Important: Matt Damon horrified by Palin

We cannot afford the possibility of an Alaska hockey mom with no experience having to face down Vladimir Putin, which is why we must elect an Illinois suburban dad with no experience who’ll definitely and immediately have to face him down. Who’s already embarrassed himself with the weakness of his response to Putin’s incursion into Georgia.
The odds he gives for McCain surviving his first term are also off, of course. Exit question: He sneers that Palin was picked for “political purposes” and nothing more. Remind me again, which important policy proposals landed trial lawyer turned first-term senator John Edwards on the national ticket four years ago? And whom did Matt Damon endorse at the time?

How about Palin actually had to negotiate over real issues, make real decisions that had consequences while barry wrote books about himself and shook down businesses as a minor league jesse jackson. You’re yanking my chain aren’t you. You really can’t be that pathetically stupid or dysfunctional.
peacenprosperity on September 10, 2008 at 4:49 PM
A lot of people thought that Ronaldus Maximus would be “owned” in the international arena if I remember correctly.
hillbillyjim on September 10, 2008 at 4:49 PM
I love it the way liberals actually convince themselves that they know what they are talking about.
Oh yes, having a 5 minute meet and greet with a foreigner during a speech tour actually counts as experience in your opinion? That’s rich.
If you don’t know the leaders that Palin’s negotiated with, then you haven’t been paying attention. Then again, you are a liberal, that’s to be expected.
MarkTheGreat on September 10, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Did you actually go to one of those or do you just get turned on by fraternity boys from there?
peacenprosperity on September 10, 2008 at 4:51 PM
The last actuarial data I read indicated that a 72-year-old man (McCain) would have a 1 in 3 chance of dying before age 80, not before the end of his first term; and, that he would have a 14% to 15% chance of dying before the year 2013 which would be the end of his first presidential term. There is also the probability that he could live beyond the end of his first and even second term. Furthermore, actuarial data apply to broad populations and should not be applied to an individual. In Damon’s case, he should stay in his make believe world and stay out of the real world, thereby significantly decreasing the probability of embarrassing himself even more.

…a candidate pick in an election made for political purposes! Godfrey Daniels!! Get out the torches and assault Baron Frankenstein’s castle!!!
This is classic leftist think: people who don’t agree with me are rubes. They swallow the 4004BC Bishop Ussher creation timeline (dinosaurs here 4000 years ago, got his boilerplate dates and his math off by a bit)…they come from REALLY small towns, where adult things simply don’t happen…we’re all extras from “Deliverance” to this northeastern boob…who, by the way, seems to think that Howard Zinn is an intellectual….
Here are the qualifications for the Presidency (and, by default, for the Vice Presidency):
1) natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution
2) shall have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years
3) shall have been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
(cribbed from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1)
That’s it. Vet that, National Inquirer.
Do we want more qualifications? You bet! We want a world-class political chess player with nerves of steel, the vision of a Washington, the savvy of a Vatican lawyer, and the patriotism of Cincinnatus.
What we have on offer from the Democrats is a vice-president to be with the writing habits of a Willie Horton, a president to be ambition of Lucifer, and a party with the patriotism of a Rosenberg.
Mr. Damon should stick to making movies. He’s very good at that. Like his candidate, once he leaves the script he stomps all over his tongue.

Obama has met many foreign leaders. Read about his trip to Europe.
Which premier players on the world stage has Palin met and negotiated with? The PTA in Wasilla?
crr6 on September 10, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Horsecrap. The only foreign experience Obama has is the 2 muslims from Africa and Asia, his mother shacked up with.
txdoc on September 10, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Nonsense. Obama has done nothing of any international significance and no amount of pseudo intellectual babbling is going to change that fact.

Strangely enough, I can see Palin walking all over Putin. Obama, not so much.
coyoterex on September 10, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Every single time I see him, I can’t help it, I think: “Matt Damon” from Team America World Police. Also, didn’t they learn their lesson in 2004? Everytime they opened their mouths about their support for Kerry, it turned another voter off. After that “concert for change” with all of those douchebag rock stars whose IQ totalled in the low 40’s, I literally said, “that’s it. I’m voting for Bush.” and voted for a Republican for the first time in my life. Yes, I was getting there, but I wrestled with it – until I realized how much I despise these Jackasses telling me how to live my life when they have no clue what my life consists of nor do they care. So, keep talking, idjuts. People will just get more and more turned off by you and hopefully you will have invested your money and we will never have to look at your smug, smarmy little Marxist faces again. OH and BTW: I never go to the theater b/c I get free cable – every channel – and I just wait until it comes on cable if I want to see it. I wouldn’t spend a dime in the theater on these tools.
foxforce91 on September 10, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Knowing whether Palin believes dinosaurs were alive 4,000 years ago is more important to Damon then whether Obama thinks it’s okay to associate with known terrorists.
He knows NOTHING about this woman yet proceeds to rattle off all the liberal talking points about this woman.
The Zoo Keeper on September 10, 2008 at 5:05 PM
An Actuarial Perspective
If you’re concerned about Sarah Palin’s lack of experience, Politico’s Alexander Burns has some numbers that ought to put your mind at ease:
For a man who has lived 72 years and 67 days (McCain’s age on Election Day this year), there is between a 14.2 and 15.1 percent chance of dying before Inauguration Day 2013, according to the Social Security Administration’s 2004 actuarial tables and the authoritative 2001 mortality statistics assembled by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Going by the Social Security Administration’s tables, that’s nearly ten times the likelihood that a man aged 47 years and 92 days (Barack Obama’s age on Election Day this year) will die before Jan. 20, 2013.
Let’s take the average of the two figures and say that McCain has a 14.65% likelihood of dying before Inauguration Day 2013, while Obama’s likelihood is 1.465%.
For the sake of argument, assume further that Joe Biden and John McCain are equally qualified to be president, and Sarah Palin is as unqualified as Barack Obama.
That means that if McCain is elected, there is better than an 85% chance that America will have a qualified president at the end of the term. If Obama is elected, the likelihood of having an unqualified president at term’s end is higher than 98.5%.

…and Sarah’s been in the barrel for, what, 10 days? Mr. Putin, can you shift your agenda and fit Ms. Palin in? Mr. Pope, sir, can you stop pontificating long enough to see the Governor of Alaska?
Alaska is one of only two US states with no physical border with another US state. It’s surrounded by Canada (technically a foreign country) and Russia (actually a foreign country), and the chief executive has all sorts of “talkin’ wit’ for’ners” to do, what with fishing rights, etc.
Well, I’ve been to Europe somewhere about 14-15 times, as well as some other non-European foreign places. I’ve not spoken with any foreign heads of state or diplomats, but I’ve gotten drunk in Norway, England, Scotland, Germany, Portugal, Spain and laid in Canada. Does that qualify me as an expert in foreign “affairs”? Maybe Mr. McCain should’ve cast his net wider and picked me…or some of the other world-travellers on this blog?
Maybe he should’ve picked Mr. Damon, who’s been to Europe and has no doubt hob-nobbed with the great and the near-great…and he’s also photogenic (I observe in a manly, “Homey-don’t-play-that” sort of way).
The horse-pill you Lefties have to swallow is that Mr. McC has picked Ms. Palin, and you’re all torn up that she’s little more than Ms. Joe SixPack…and that bunches your knickers something fierce. Too bad, compadre.
For my part, I think that the good Governor ticks off all the right people.

The Ivy League schools have also matriculated some major league douchebags, including a certain junior senator from Illinois, who is daily making it abundantly clear that he was accepted at thse schools for reasons OTHER than academic prowess.
As for the U. of Idaho, it boasts a certain governor of Alaska who, thus far, has demonstrated that she could have dispatched the course load at any Ivy League school with the same graceful ease she has so far dispatched her opponents.

NightmareOnKStreet on September 10, 2008 at 5:18 PM
and I should care what Matt Damon thinks because??????????
Oh that’s right, he’s a movie star (right) so he’s the best judge for who should lead the country.
Go make another crappy movie with Ben no talent and collect another 20 million and move to Europe ala Johnny Depp.

Hollywood activism: now that’s entertainment!
A lot of people here probably believe dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago though.
Xolom on September 10, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte have met with many foreign leaders too… Does that make them qualified to be President?
Oh wait, nevermind. I’m sure that YOU would think so.

Would we send money directly to B Hussien Obomba?
No!
Then why do we send money to pampered, pathetic and morally repugnent entertainment industry thugs, (hand over fist) just for them to donate to him in our stead.
Ladies and Gentlemen, no matter what happens with this election, after it’s over it’ll be time to tell hollywood to go to hell.

Does anyone know how to download video clips from YouTube? I’d like to chop this up and post a rebuttal video. Somebody needs to do a “Back To You Keith” on Matt Damon. I loved some of his movies, but politically he’s more Mr. Beane than Mr. Bourne.
Woody on September 10, 2008 at 5:54 PM
As for those 4000 years-ago dinosaurs, I just spotted three of them in my backyard today. They are only about 7 inches long, but reptilian creatures nonetheless. Without prompting an ID quarrel among friends, it is not a problem for me to conclude they’ve been here all along.

Of course he does.

God, you are sooooooooo right! He made speeches and everything! Like totally look at the scope and importance of that experience! Some take years to nurture and cultivate those relationships with foreign leaders, but Barack is the Messiah so he did it all in – what – 10 days? A week? Wooooooooooooooow. Good point. And the fact that he made that speech in Germany – that makes him practically German! Of course! I know that Palin is just the #2 on the ticket, but she should still have as much as experience as Obama even if Obama doesn’t have to have as much experience as the #1 on the GOP ticket, right? Even though she actually RUNS a state with a $42Billion GDP and a $6.6 billion operating budget…? Dude that just does not compare to Barack – the Dems #1 candidate – who worked with ACORN, registering Snow White and Mr. and Mrs. Jon and Jane Doe to vote. You got me. I have to admit; you got me.

Well, let’s see….we were attacked on 9/11 by Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden (who btw still remains free). We’ve lost 4,000 MORE lives fighting in a country that DIDN’T ATTACK US!!! But, here’s the best part: how did GWB know that we would end up killing people in Iraq in January of 2001? January does come BEFORE September still, right?
Perhaps jeebus called him 8 months earlier so that Bushie could keep his calendar open?
DanKenton on September 10, 2008 at 6:10 PM
And Matt Damon’s political opinion matters, why….?
4shoes on September 10, 2008 at 6:10 PM
I still am at a loss why there are continual comparisons between the Democratic Presidential candidate and the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Are the Democrats afraid to compare apples to apples? It’s Obama and McCain as Presidential candidates, not Obama and Palin.
If the likelihood of McCain dying before his first term is up is %14 (rounded from Politico figures)I am curious as to the survival rate for Obama, a 47 year old African American male who is a smoker.

Wow, quoting The Simpsons? Could you be more of a poindexter? Did you clean the spit off your monitor from that last round of anti-Christian vitriol? I have a suspicion that a bible-thumper must of kicked your ass recently or maybe even worse.
I am an athiest, and I had my confrontations with the Christians and like you I took every opportunity to lambast thier intelligence to stroke my high-school know-it-all ego. Unlike you however, I grew out of that childish phase and realized that Christians as whole were generally much better people, and were definitely better than the scumbags that permiate your side of the aisle.
Ok rant off, now you can go back to hitting the bong and wondering if Obama will pay for all of your student loads.

And Hussein gave sanctuary to a AQ lieutenant in 2002, which comes before 2003. We invaded in 2003, just so you are clear about that. Why would AQ relocate to Iraq and kill Muslim civilians to try to get us to leave instead of concentrating their forces in Afghanistan if Saddam had no ties to terror? What was a 707 fuselage doing in Salman Pak. What the hell are you talking about:
Any maybe you can tell me where Ramzi Yousef, remember him, the guy who conducted the first WTC attack in ‘93, got his passport from?

DanKenton on September 10, 2008 at 7:03 PM
“I don’t know here, therefore she’s not qualified.”
He doesn’t know her. Therefore she’s not qualified.
One of two things are true here:
1. He is intellectually dishonest and/or inconsistent. If you don’t know her , how then can you honestly say that she’s not qualified to be VP or President?
2. He is the most arrogant twit I’ve heard of in a long time:
“Because I don’t know her, she’s not qualified to be President.”
Seems Mr. Select Citizen Damon is unwilling to educate himself either. And he’s studied BHO for how many nanoseconds, assuming that BHO was studied at all?
Well, with an ego that is larger than Wasilla Alaska (and environs) I can certainly see why you’re a lefty. As a matter of fact, with that size ego and arrogance, I think that you’re a better running mate for his Selectedness BHO!

Absolute mess? You seem to have enough time to post here along with everybody else so how can this be as bad as whiners like you make it out to be. And Iraq is going very well with al Qaeda decimated, demoralized and on the run. And your buddy OBL hasn’t shown his ugly mug much lately so even if he’s still breathing (didn’t know that doubting the earthly existence of somebody who’s been unseen for years put one on the same level of people that scream “fire doesn’t melt steel” regarding the collapse of a building) he’s certainly been neutralized strategically.

Matt Damon just showed how unintelligent his is. Stating that he does not know enough about Palin. Then do your own research. Use the internet and learn about her. Quiting spreading the false rumors and get the facts!! Stating she was mayor of a small town-well at least that is executive experience running a small government. Then he says she was governor less than 2 years-well being a governor is a microcosm of the federal government, so at least she has that experience.
I think it is more scary that Barack Obama would be president. He has no executive experience at all. He was in the senate for 143 days when he decided to run for president. So he doesn’t even have one full year of senator experience actually being a senator. He has been out campaigning. Thats it. And for his first major decision, he picked Biden. Not such a good decision afterall.
Matt Damon just showed why Hollywood actors need to stay out of the political business-their advice is not the advice of mainstream America.
Go Sarah!! Go McCain!!

Ass-Clown little actors like Damian with all of their alleged facts wrong, and ignoring the other sides of two-sided equations – I find this quite boring.
As for the flame-war going on about this douche spending a few months at Harvard, I must retreat to the legendary quote about Harvard from William F. Buckley, Jr.:

Why do I get the impression that you just started using this lame label. Political rookie. Concerning the financial meltdown are referring to those hurting Americans that had to wait in line to buy their new $300 Iphone while their old one was still under warranty?
Oh, maybe you are referring to the housing disaster caused by greedy buyers encouraged by leftist institutions like Fannie Mae that turned out to be yet another failed leftist experiment that was actually a taxpayer funded shell game to funnel donations to democrats?

Little known fact about Matt Damon:
He’s spent millions having reproductions of everything he wants made at 5/6 scale and furnishes his homes with them so he can feel like a normal sized male.

Great. Yet another self-important wholly unqualified to comment delusional kool-aid guzzling “celebrity” who lives on an entirely different planet opining the imaginary disqualifications of one set of political candidates while completely ignoring the fact that his own preferred candidates are nothing short of hell-bent for the implosion and destruction of this country.
This is the last straw for Matt Damon. I was hoping he’d just shut up and act, but no. I guess I’ll just have to break down and give in now, and add Damon to my ever growing list of movie actors whose movies I will never pay to see ever again. Dang it. I liked most of Damon’s movies. But I’d rather chew broken glass than associate myself, even vicariously, with such twisted logic and subversive lying scum.

What’s with the reference to dinosaurs and when they roamed the earth? Is he suggesting that if you are not a brainwashed convert of the debunked 19th century religion of evolutionism, then you must be disqualified from high office? Oh, the pomposity of ignorance and confidence of foolishness.
What amazes me is that anyone would take this clown seriously…

I wanna know if Obama really believes the black liberation theology creed of the church he went to for 20 years, because that’s really really scary, he’s carrying the nuclear codes, we can’t have that, I really need to know that. It’s like a bad BET movie of the week, you know, black liberation adherent becomes president, runs the country based on writings of James Cone and Malcolm X.
There’s a 3 in 3 chance Matt Damon is, as Larry King might say, a left-wing wacko, but Larry King never says “left-wing wacko” he only says “right-wing wacko”. Go figure! Who is Matt Damon’s next door neighbor and hero? I mean, HERO? Howard Zinn. Yes, that Howard Zinn. Ouch, Matt. I liked the Bourne Identity series. Don’t like your political outlook.

You still miss the point. Yousef had an Iraqi passport because he was a Mukhabarat agent.

Just another reason I don’t watch teeeeveee or go to the
picture house.
These way overrated circus clowns can barely act must less
opine with any sense.

Such a shame. I liked Damon’s ‘Bourne’ Movies. However, he’s ruined it for me now. Especially his 4000 years comment. Matt, Matt, Matt. Putin and Medvedev, who are SWORN ENEMIES of the United States want Barack Obama to win. Why do you think? Hmm? Why do they want Obama as president?? Think about it, buds. And please don’t say it’s because they think they’ll have much better relations with America because they don’t care about America. These are the same Russians arming and supporting Muslim terrorist Ahmadinejad who has publicly stated, “the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started.” Matt, Putin and Medvedev want Obama to win because they know they have a better chance of destroying America! Vladimir Putin is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and that’s his agenda okay, that, and to bring back a police state to Russia.
“(Putin said in an interview with CNN) …someone in the United States created this (Georgia) conflict on purpose to stir up the situation and to create an advantage for one of the candidates in the competitive race for the presidency in the United States,” Putin did not specify which candidate he had in mind, but there was no doubt that he was referring to Senator John McCain, the Republican. McCain is loathed in the Kremlin…”
Russians like Putin and Obama, polls find
I wouldn’t have to convince Jason Bourne of this, Matt.

Matt is picking up while Baldwin sits this one out. . .

And I give a shite about Matt Damon or his opinions, why again?

Yea, take a look at some of the footage from the Republican convention: She pops right up out of her seat, walkes onstage with everyone else, no walker, needs nobody to lean on, etc. She’s quicker than I am at age 54!

Oh look, someone made a faux interview with the Matt Damon doll from Team America: World Police. Isn’t that cute?

McCain had a much better chance of dying in the Hanoi Hilton than he does in the White House.

One problem with that thought was that Ronaldus didn’t try for diplomacy while he was in the hustings; he didn’t talk to anyone from Iran about freeing the hostages (except for conspiracy theorist Gary Sick, whose “investigations” and calls for an inquiry on the timing of the release went nowhere even amongst the Democrats).
Barackus did try to do private diplomacy, and we saw the results in Europe and in Iraq, where he made things immeasurably harder for our government. He has shown, even before election day, his inability in foreign affairs.
It should be noted that our hostages were freed the day Ronaldus became President, and he gave Jimmy Carter the ultimate accolade by sending him to Europe to officially greet the returning hostages on behalf of the United States Government. This was also a message about the continuity of our Government delivered in a surprisingly frank and peaceful fashion to the Iranians. Ronaldus showed even early on that he was a master of diplomacy.

Ooh, I just thought of one: His next comedy video should be called “I’m F***ing Obama!” Because that’s what he’s doing to the guy’s chances.
