Drew Barrymore: Obama Made Me Cry (a good cry btw)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/drew-barrymore-obama-made_n_132331.html

"When I heard him speak about a gay person never having to sit outside the hospital room with their loved one sick inside, I burst into tears because so many people I care about are homosexual and it was profound to have someone be sensitive to that. That's the kind of world I want to live in, where we're not holding our own principles in judgment above someone or against someone."

She added, "It's the first time I've really admitted I'm a Democrat."

She also calls Republican candidate John McCain "is a good person, and he does care, but he has voted against things that are shocking as far as people's liberties and economic choices."

1. Those who "voted against things that are shocking as far as people's liberties" are not good people.

Drew Barymore is a far more forgiving person than I am.

2. I don't think I would have ever mistaken Drew for a Repuke anyway

but it's good to know she's "officially" on our team. Though I'm not sure I agree with her about McCain being a "good person". (I used to think so before 2000, though I would have never voted for him)

3. She got away from drug and alchohol addiction without turning to Jebus.

Of COURSE she's one of us.

5. I will never permit discrimination like that to be codified into American law.

Ever.
