Matt Damon: Sarah Palin is “Totally Absurd”

In order to say Palin is absurd you obviously know deep in your heart that someone like Obama running for President is equally if not more absurd. And to not be able to see that just means the person syaing it is in denial or unintelligent. The whole election is an ABSURD disaster waiting to happen.

To orchid: Very true, kids will be kids and do their own thing, however, be that as it may, why not keep them as educated as possible? Maybe at that age most kids think they know best, and their parents just don’t know what they’re talking about, so wouldn’t it make sense to make sure they have the education in the schools AND at home that will help them to make informed choices? Whether they listen and use that education is up to them, but it should at least be available!

one more my bf saw a republican ad on tv , showing joe biden saying ” obama is not ready to be president” , i guess he said way back before he was chosen as runningmate.also in a democrat ad, it shows mccain quoting or saying , he don’t understand economy?….wht is tht. truthfully both sides has a lot of questionmarks. i am still wondering obama’s once close ties tht run for decades to rev. right and unaware of his idiology very mind boggling to me.also sarah palin had a case in her state and they are using states money to fund for her case?one more thing about obama, he wrote a book or thesis about his father ,slavery and white men. i don’t know it’s in you tube, check it urself because you can hear the audio it seems like his voice very passionate.

I agree with Matt.

I can’t believe that so many foolish women are supporting this crazy lady!

What’s next Adam Sandler for President?!?

God I couldn’t have said it better Matt Damon…I have even more respect for him…speaking out against her isn’t the easiest thing to do…he did a great job!!!

Someone posted earlier saying how can Matt Damon make a judgement about Sarah Palin if he knows nothing about her. Well, the same way he can make a judgement about Obama without knowing anything about him. If all of Obama’s supporters really looked into what he stood for and what he stands for, I doubt they would still be supporters. He’s a politician - that’s it. He’s not even a senator - he’s done nothing while in office… nothing, but run for president.

I can’t believe so many people are telling Damon to stick to movies and asking what right he has to talk about politics. That’s ridiculous. Just what do you think all of us Americans have been doing lately? We have all been talking about politics and voicing our opinions.

I agree with Matt. Palin is a relative unknown in Washington as well as nationally. She is a self-professed PTA mom and hockey mom. Just how does that qualify her to be VP yet alone step into the role of Pres. if the need arises?! I also agree that in the next 8 weeks we will not be able to learn much more about her because, frankly, there isn’t anything else to learn. She has been mayor of a small town in Alaska, population somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 people. She has been governor of Alaska for less than 2 years. Alaska has less people than most US cities.

I think if McCain wanted to choose a female running mate he could’ve and should’ve done a lot better. I think she will be used as his puppet and she will be nothing but a pretty face. She has zero international experience and only recently got a passport!

Look her up on wikipedia and you will learn everything there is to know about her and the political experience is pitifully lacking for a VP candidate. In fact, take it a step further, and look up McCain, Obama, and Biden on wikipedia and then continue to watch the news, read the papers and watch any debates and on election day get out there and VOTE!

Finally someone who has the balls to say the truth. Palin is a phony and a disgrace to the women race.

My 2 cents. #189
You said it perfectly.

I’m a Boston girl and typically like Matt’s acting, but he should do just that, ACT and keep his mouth shut publically about politics. He has a right to his opinion, as we all do, but we’re NOT on TV or in the press bad mouthing the opponent of whatever party we support. People- he’s simply an actor with perhaps a college degree, I don’t even know, like many of us, but he has ZERO credibility as a political analyst and shouldn’t be given any air time on this. Let’s listen to people who are actually experts in the field, and not ACTORS. With as many criticisms there about Sarah Palin, there are equally the same about Obama. And factually, many would argue he’s in incorrect in his assessment of their experience and past records. For every citicism he has, there is someone on the other side to despute it. Sure, listen to his opinion but I truly hope educated people aren’t out there being influenced by his words. Most people understand that 90% of actors are liberals. They don’t represent the entire country’s views. I find it hilarious that he uses his celebrity status to try to influence the masses regarding political issues, and worse, in doing so slams a candidate. He should try to be more like Bono, who is “fair”. He educates himself on world issues and chooses to support them by working with whatever administration is currently in the White House. He takes strong stands, puts his mouth and money behind them, and gains the support of world leaders. He should be Matt’s role model. For now, Matt should do his part and that is vote for whatever candidate he wants, like we all will, but in the meantime keep his mouth shut about Sarah Palin.

sarah palin is the paris hilton of politics!

In the democrats, I have 2 people who I approve of…..
Obama and Biden.

In the republicans, I only have one… McCain.

So, I think I’ll vote democrat this year. It’s a great team. They appear to be much stronger. They got brains, experience and power btw them.

Quoted by Matt Damon ” I just don’t understand. I think the pick was made for political purposes…”

Well, DUH, it’s politics and no you would not understand. Sorry, Matt I love you as an actor but you should just stick with what you are good at.
