Actually Juniper, if you haven’t seen the video…

Also liked this comment afterwards, in response to Palin’s spokesperson who called it “name-calling”:

Let’s unpack the spokesperson’s response:

“It’s not surprising that the Barack Obama and his celebrity supporters continue to tear down Governor Palin with little more than blatant name-calling,” she said.

Here are the names blatantly evoked by Mr. Damon:

Sarah Palin
mayor of a really, really small town
governor of Alaska
President Palin
the hockey mom
a hockey mom

Ouch. That had to sting…

I can’t believe Matt Damon is now our source of reliable information….

…at least he sounded mildly intelligent in that clip.

Problem is most of the Republicans I know don’t even have a “frickin’ clue” what Bush stands for or what he has really done with his 8 years. And for many of them he has advanced the prosperity gospel. For the other people who tell me they are going to vote McCain-Palin I am asking “Do you really believe that you personally and America collectively are better off than 8 years ago.”

And yes, I have considered quitting my day job and moving to a swing state for the next two months to volunteer for the Obama-Biden campaign there.

Actually hearing that conversation of the moms at the bus stop gives me a little more hope. Watching people go apesh** over Palin has me scared to death. Even Republicans need to get a frickin’ clue what this woman stands for.

I am finding that some of my Catholic friends here are saying the only thing “Catholic” about McCain is his pro-life stance, and it is his pro-war stance that is leading them to vote for Obama. However, even most Obama supporters here in Texas have some misgivings about where he stands on things….

Please don’t stop! Writing about the election I mean. It is a reality check down here in this red state that I live in.
