Yay Matt Damon!!

Yay, I managed to get YouTube videos on here now!! :)

Well, everyone seems to think this guy is an idiot, and everyone seems to think this guy is on his soapbox to some level equal to Bill Maher, or anything like that.

Well, honestly, for all you people who are ripping him for giving his opinion, you are the biggest hypocrites in the world. How dare you try to shut him up and call him an idiot for speaking his mind, when you are doing the exact same thing by ripping him! And beyond that, this is an AP released video, which means he was being INTERVIEWED. Someone ASKED him what he thought, so he answered. Who asked any of you guys what you thought about Matt Damon? NO ONE! So why are you sharing? I didn’t ask you what you thought about it.

Now beyond the merits of whether we all have the right to debate anything (which the Constitution joyfully allows all of us Americans to do), people seemed turned off at the fact that some ‘do-nothing’ $20 million-a-movie actor who spends a ton of time doing charity work that no one else wants to do, donates money to causes no one else does, actually speaks his mind. I think we owe it to him to actually understand his argument.

The whole time he is not getting on Palin so much in the sense of who she is, how much experience she has, or what party she runs for. He does not once say he is in love with the Obama campaign.

What does he say? I will quote it for you guys, “I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in 8 weeks I will know anything about her.” Does that sentence sound like he disagrees with the strategy put forth by the McCain/Palin ticket? NO! He is simply stating that it is an absurd idea to vote for someone who you have not gotten to know within 8 weeks.

No one saw this pick coming, probably not even Palin. The point is she has not gone through the primary process, she has not gone through the rigors of a campaign across the country.

She could very well be the perfect person for Vice President, but the point is WE DON’T KNOW, or at least I don’t (and neither does Matt Damon).

If she does become Vice President, I wish her luck, and I would hope she is the right candidate, but I agree, the notion of electing someone 8 weeks after we get introduced to her is a little bit of a crazy idea.

I just wish she threw her hat in the ring a year ago so we all could get to know each other a little bit better :) .

Peace
