Stacey Dash on Romney and Twitter

[@juliannevillecorrea]

stacy dash is off the charts gorgeous !

[@Jshan07]

Good for your Stacey! It's nice to see someone making decisions for them self and not just following the "crowd".

[@SuperSilence23]

shes even more beautiful now that I know that she a conservative. I wish more black people would stand up for their christian values.

[@TorstenStett]

She is the best looking 46 year-old woman I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@Armando316]

She shouldn't be faulted for her opinion. I think its misguided. But hey to each their own and she's still a beautiful woman.

[@antred11]

Yup. She could vote for Benito Mussolini, and I'd still find it hard to hate her for it. :D She's a total babe.

[@Moviefan2k4]

I'm really glad that Stacey's standing her ground, not just as an African American, an actress, or a woman...but as a citizen. She has the backbone to say, "this is what I believe, this is what I'm standing for, and I don't care if you hate me for it". That takes guts in today's political climate, where the mass media would have people believe that everyone who's black, in the entertainment industry, or both is a liberal.

[@wjones8149]

This is her way of getting press. Her acting career went down the toilet and then she posed for Playboy. It got some her some play. But she didnt exactly set the world on fire. Now she wants to feign conservativism and it has actually gotten her more press than she could possibly ever have imagined.

[@everoposuo]

No one, Republican or Democrat, should ever have to experience backlash for who they support. And those people who attack Stacey Dash aren't real liberals.

[@ASMRShalom]

Piers Morgan gave a man who suggested Stacey end her life, 15 minutes of fame. Unreal. Stacy, you're not the only Black Conservative, so stay strong!

[@skyblueerik]

I'm a liberal, voting for Obama, and I think people should leave her alone. No need to be a jerk. Leave that for the politicians.

[@IfyouaskUs]

Romney must have paid her a lot of cash. She has no clue and is as empty as a bottle.

[@friends19871]

I'm a black female and I have respect for Stacey thanks to her I came out of the closet to my black parents and told them I'm voting for Romney. My supports my decision since hes an Independent but my Democrat mother is still pissed. I think I almost gave her a stroke. She has gone crazy and is obsessing over a Romney presidency and constantly talking about how Romney is gonna take away black peoples rights. It finally felt good to get it out. Tired of pretending to be a Democrat.

[@Dave_AI]

They haven't had 4 years to get an ID. These ID laws have only gained serious traction over the past couple of years. And as I've already pointed out, many states don't currently have the infrastructure to process that many photo ID's. That's why the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that the law could not be enforced this year. If they had enforced it, thousands would have been disenfranchised. This is not stupid talk, these are facts. Look it up.

[@albertkinng]

the only problem about all of this is not that she like Romney or not, the problem is people is forgetting that voting is private and it's not entitled to be open to public about your politic thought. that's why we enter a private cabin to vote. Why everyone is shouting whom they are going to vote? It is a private matter!

[@nolacruz]

It is Stacey's right to support Romney. It is the right of others to no longer want to support her.

[@supervibe1]

It's just as racist to vote for someone based on race as it is to not vote for someone based on race. She should be able to speak her mind without have her own people bash her.

[@0099396]

Having achieved her goal of becoming an actress does not make her smart, nor does it measure her level of intelligence. The cast of Jersey Shore can prove that it doesn't take a genius to make it on television. So once again, that does not make her smarter than myself or anyone else for that matter.

[@danieljayhh]

Who finds 40+ women attractive? But I have to say she is one of the rare ones who are still beautiful

[@zaffiara]

she knew she was going to get that backlash, like they said she was brave..she new her reputation as an entertainer was going to be at stake. i am black woman and i completely agree with stacey on her decision. she is absolutely 100% right.

[@cornbutter100]

The attacks on Stacey Dash are outrageous. She is free to endorse whoever she prefers.

[@kylep120]

Colin Powell switch party lines and endorsed Obama in 2008, and went from being despised by the left to being seen as courageous for doing so. Stacy Dash switched party lines this election and is now getting ridiculed for doing so.

[@josephc28]

Liberals and the media are in shock that a black actress dares to not support Obama. How dare she think for herself?

[@ahimsa228]

What platform? She has announced who she's voting for in an attempt to climb out of her irrelevancy. But she has the right to vote for who she wants.

[@bryanjensen2614]

"I'll gladly respect your opposing political and religious views with understanding and compassion and won't resort to name-calling or violence to work out our differences." - Said no liberal EVER.

[@TitanSea]

she can't even explain why she endorses him - "bring up the economy" "make money" WTF...she has not idea what is going on.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

This right here is a board that claims that so many people are "blindly" supporting the president, but they are ignoring the fact that they are blindly supporting anyone who isn't Obama. I mean, people can vote for whoever they want, but if a lot of these people on here are so against Obama's policies, I wish that one of them could tell me what Romney or any other candidate would actually do if they were in office that would help this country.

[@BrownJaimie]

We are all Americans and we have the right to vote...and yes, we have the right to vote for the party we want in office. Thank God we live in a country that promotes freedom.

[@gordspolish]

If the president had a record to run than he would be running on it. Romney is running on what the president has not been doing. Go Stacy, you made the right choice.

[@mooshutwentytwo]

I love how other people rage on Stacey Dash for having an "OPEN MIND." Apparently having a mind of your own, doing your own research, analyzing, hearing the issues, and voicing your opinion warrants harassment and ridicule from liberals these days. I thought that liberals are all about being "OPEN MINDED" but it looks like when you disagree with liberals you become an enemy.

[@VinegarAutofill]

some people voting for Romney just because he is not Obama doesn't excuse the decades that blacks voted for dems just cause they were dems.

[@Dave_AI]

So basically, you can't point out the lie, can you? Listen, if I called you a liar and you challenged me on it, I'd point out the lie, then demonstrate why it's a lie. Then again, I'm intellectually honest.

[@EmilyAtTheDisco]

I respect Stacey for stating her opinions. Everyone should be allowed to do that. No one should be bashed or hated for it. However, I don't agree with them and never will.

[@kandy1958]

I stand corrected. I have a foreign lib, teaching me common courtesy regarding a US pres. election. I think we're done here.

[@stephaniemasiello999]

I love how shes so confident

[@taichi29]

I disagree, for if Romney won we would be in a depression. Both the Democrats and the Republicans need to work together in order to save this country.

[@mamanan725]

She stated she wanted to country to move forward, well that's the theme for the Obama campaign "Move Forward, Not Back". She then went on to say she was choosing him not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. We have Martin Luther King to thank for those sentiments. She does have the right to choose whomever she wants, after all this is America and by that same right, I choose the POTUS, Barack Obama.

[@Dave_AI]

I have answered the question. It's fiscally irresponsible solution to a non existent problem. Not only that, but as of last week in Pennsylvania only 11,000 voter ID's have been issued, leaving 1.2 million people potentially disenfranchised. That a good enough answer for you? You say you disagree that voter fraud isn't an issue.....based on what? What facts or statistics are you using to come to this conclusion?

[@a041705]

Having her choose Romney over Obama, makes her smarter then some of the commentators here :-)

[@swirlbees]

So if I am black, then I HAVE to vote for Obama. If I am white or Mormon, then I HAVE to vote for Romney. Hmmm, what if I am black AND Mormon. Can't people just chose aside from race or religion?

[@diamonddoorknob]

Why the fuck are people offended that a woman told us her political opinions and who she is going to vote for? She is getting death threats and racial slurs and people are attacking her here for no reason.

[@Dave_AI]

Generalizing an entire race like that is also racist. I would have thought that was pretty obvious.

[@daverjax]

soooo NICE to hear the Liberals being sooooo, kind, supportive and understanding of someone expressing they're Personal Feelings, and opinions in a public forum. you did notice the sarcasm right?

[@skwiddjergensen]

Dear Stacy: I am an Independent, politically speaking. Good for you to decide for yourself.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

THANK YOU! My mother said this same thing. I guarantee you Stacy Dash is going to vote for Obama. That's why I don't understand why people attacked her. All she is doing is getting attention.

[@kandy1958]

There are MANY issues on voter fraud. In 2008 more people in Milwaukee County voted for Obama than there are people in Milwaukee County. To think this is an isolated incident would be as stupid as Barry's assessment of the Panty Bomber. There are very few things you can do in this country without an ID. Voting should be on top of the list of things that require an ID.

[@jamaicankritik]

she can vote for whoever she wants but I wonder how much money Mittens paid her for this endorsement? If people think that she did this because she really believes in the GOP then they are stupid.

[@ChrisTSadler]

Who are we to call her "black?" That's her choice!

[@helinza]

Black people dont think in unison, she is allowed to vote for whoever she wants. love u stacey! stay dashing!

[@keithjerry7348]

Character : Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. 1. Cuts in state expenditures for Medicaid, the government program providing health care for the poorest state residents. 2. Cuts affecting public colleges and universities, treatment for schizophrenic. 3. 36,000 Massachusetts residents lost their Medicaid eligibility. 4. Substantial cuts in state funding for cities and towns. Please go read at least Wikipedia about Governor Romney Before voting Him. Please Please.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

I think the point that the person was making was the fact that Stacy Dash is trying to get attention by coming out and saying that she's voting for Romney and the fact that Dash is saying that she used what Romney said in a TV interview to help her decide that she was going to vote for him, instead of actually researching the policies that he is for and against.

[@jeffhanson1]

Good question. He also loves asking actors, musicians, and athletes their opinion on political issues when they are so far out of touch with the real world to begin with.

[@JJ-op9td]

MLK would be disappointed in all the unwarranted and uninformed backlash.

[@supersticky87]

Im a Republican and I will NOT vote for Mitt Romney!!!

[@GTAWildestPolicechases]

What going on here? On the one hand it doesn't matter what colour your skin is and then she votes for a candidate who happens to be white and shes getting shit for voting for what she thinks best. Double standards in society.

[@journalism101]

Why are people fussing over a celebrity's opinion? She entertains you. Democrats are not entitled to the Black vote. That's why Blacks are disenfranchised. Regardless of political party, we need to enforce our rights upon their platforms.

[@Da_Fonz]

Finally an objective Hollywood actress, versus all the other FOLLOWERS! Dash is AWESOME!!!

[@june7gemini]

im a obama supporter and SHE IS ALLOWED TO vote for WHOEVER SHE LIKES , one persons vote is not going to COUNT , she is in the majority .. IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING BLACKS ARE GETTING MAD , and its not ... eventhough i disagree with her points of turning into a republican ...i dont understand eventhough ROMNEY did say sexists comments about women .im not MAD , ITS HER CHOICE ... everybody has a choice to vote whoever .

[@PHENOMjr]

This is a career benefiting tactic. I don't believe she's that clueless. You'd be surprised at how many people say they're gonna vote for someone and turn around and vote for the other behind closed doors. When it's all said and done, she knows who the real better man for the job is when she gets behind that curtain.

[@shawniebaby83]

Bottom line Stacy Dash needed attention cause she's not household famous after all these years. Not to say she had to vote for Obama but to go about her endorsing Romney in this way is none other than a publicity stunt in my eyes. Good job for making yourself somewhat relevant for the time being.

[@Kushi2482]

Those people are discusting for saying that... And if she showed support for Obama than no republican would've bashed her

[@Hadrian44AD]

I wish all black women were as gorgeous and intelligent. Unfortunately, she is the rare exception.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

Yes, globalmonkey007, every problem within the black community in the inner cities has been caused by one political party. I appreciate your intelligent response.

[@mysonben83]

She has the right to vote for whom ever she wishes to! Its her choice after all.

[@daniel1982641]

Man, she still is the most beautiful woman on earth. I've had a crush on her since childhood.

[@EdHaileywilliam]

I love that she said i chose him not for the color of his skin but for the content of his character

[@BlackRepublican2010]

God Bless Stacey Dash! Romney/Ryan 2012! "I am choosing Mitt Romney not by the color of his skin but the content of his character". Beautiful.

[@nixonplumber]

It's so refreshing to actually see a liberated strong women like this!

[@kioshimaku]

i hate how people say obama's not doing his job when he is simply doing what he was voted for. mitt still doesn't explain how he's going to help us yet people still say they what to vote for him. i dont have a religion nor do i vote for him just because he's black. im voting for him because i know he can get the job done. No recovery happens faster than lost doesnt matter who you are.

[@marsSpaceinvader]

How can she think Romney is genuine when he constantly flip flops in order to say what voters want to hear. She obviously just took Mitt at face value and didn't look deeper into his flip flopping past.

[@jbranstetter04]

Her opinion to me means nothing, as she is just another person. What does mean something to me is her bravery. What bravery? As a black person she knows full well what happens to a black person who comes out for Romney, or any other republican. They are branded as traders; Uncle Toms; stupid; uncaring; enemies to their own people; and every other vicious thing you can imagine. So yes, she is brave, and I applaud her for it.

[@marmackk]

Don't think she gives a shit whether you like her anymore.She can vote for who she wants to voter for,based on the candidate she connects with the most.Clearly for her it is not Obama

[@kikojoseph3480]

She's aging better than most 46 yr olds I know lol. It's been rumored that she's really 56. So, that's pretty amazing.

[@bammbamm12]

Everyone's talking about her "blackness". What about her "Jewishness"? Maybe that's why she's supporting Romney? Because Romney & BB Netanyoohoo are "buddies"?

[@MauricXe]

lets be honest, the only reason she is endorsing Romney is right in front of you.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

I've already said this is in a couple of my comments on here, but Stacy Dash is not going to vote for Mitt Romney. She had music video that came out and she was trying to get publicity for that. That's all this is. That's exactly the reason why she couldn't give a clear reason why she even supported Romney.

[@alphacause]

What is sad is not that Stacey Dash has changed positions, and is now voting for Romney. What is sad is the fact that this washed up actress' opinions on politics merits the attention of national news and talk shows.

[@Hipcubbiesfan80]

So much for the tolerance of the left. I'm not a supporter of Romney or Obama but kudos to Stacey. She could've been phony and pretended to be team Obama or chose not to speak on it at all, but instead had the courage to speak her mind. Good for her.

[@iPray2God2]

Mr. Historian over here. The parties have flipped since the restoration era and the republicans you seem to be so fond of aren't so fond of you.

[@Evalover44]

"people are entitled to their own opinion" yes, but i thought that's a given. why do people repeat that so fucking much like it's some brilliant revelation.

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

I disagree that Romney will mean much difference, but I hardly thing her being rich has anything to do with it, especially since there are more wealthy liberals than conservatives. I'm not rich at all and I support Gary Johnson.

[@LightBringer42]

the difference between fetus and baby in such cases is not real, not based on science or logic but convenience. fetus is used to allow women who kill their babies to avoid admitting that is what they really have done to themselves or anyone else

[@battleboy777]

She's not supporting a party. She's supporting a person. Mitt Romney is not a racist Tea Party conservative. You think a racist Tea party conservative would be elected Governor twice in the most liberal state in America? I don't think so. Mitt is a business man who knows how to fix money problems. I voted for Obama, I'm biracial, and I'm seriously considering voting for Romney.

[@JebBlack2010]

She obviously didn't get an ObamaPhone and she's pissed off about it.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

While agree with the last part of your comment, Obama is the first candidate of any race other than white in the history of this country and most black people have voted democratic since the '60's, so this assumption that black people are just voting for Obama because he is black is absurd.

[@Dave_AI]

"It's very clear that Stacy is intelligent" Sorry, but no it isn't. She says here that she believes what Romney has to say. Nobody who has been paying attention to what he has been saying would make that claim. There is ample video evidence of his flip flops and outright lies. I can provide evidence to back that up. She didn't talk about policies, she didn't explain why Romney is a better candidate, and she wasn't asked a single tough question. This interview was as softball as it gets.

[@cornbutter100]

But can't you just say you disagree with her without calling names?

[@MariahYanez]

Well, I feel like this. When politicians start talking about bringing back the gold and silver standard, then maybe I'll start taking republicans more seriously. But, as far as this 2012 election goes...I have no preference. Real Talk.

[@rsilvermans2]

Our President done & fighting to do what he said he would do. So many are fighting against him causing problems all over the country. The President is for the good of all Americans, not a select few.

[@Dave_AI]

I didn't ask you to prove me wrong, I asked you to demonstrate my lie. It's a simple enough challenge. You called me a liar, I'm asking you to point out where. It's ironic that you say I make blanket statements without providing facts when you said: "You're a liar, prove me wrong" How about actually pointing out the lie?

[@lovelypuff9]

She is supporting the candidate who is going to do the most for her. She is most likely living off the dividends of money earned when she was regularly working. Romney will eliminate the taxes she has to pay on the interest earned from her deposits. I don't agree her politics but she is doing what we all do. We are trying to look our for our families.

[@blognewb]

Next headline would be: Senator Paul Ryan Divorces Wife and Resigns After Stacey Dash Tryst.

[@AgainstNihilism]

Politics aside, How the fuck is this woman 46!! She played a 16 year old when she was in her 30's.

[@greatgatsb9o921o]

THANK GOD you said it. let's not forget all these programs said to "help black people" but really keep them Dependant on society

[@olbranch]

It's sad people automatically think you're a sell out if you're black and don't support another black person. I can't speak for her, but I know plenty of blacks who are not voting for Obama because of the issues and the stuff he's doing WAY beyond what mainstream media tells you. I'm not voting for either candidate, I'm writing in someone. Does that make me a sell out too? LOL

[@marmackk]

Because she doesn't support your views makes her uneducated and an opportunist?What makes you more educated than her?

[@nixonplumber]

"fucking stupid as fuck" your a genius who has a real way with words.

[@mbr2323]

There is a really good reason why Mitt will get less than 1% of the black vote. It's not just mitt it's the whole Rep. party and their message. She didn't even give a good reason why she is voting for mitt. So it seems like she got hers and now she is turning her back on her people. I'm sure most of the hate came from black people. It's wrongf to call her names, but its ok to tell her what you think about it. She should have known better.

[@Dave_AI]

I can see this conversation is going absolutely nowhere. Let's just leave it, shall we?

[@corrwill]

Look at her. Being proud of her choice and not saying that the people bashing her are "stupid" in anyway. Just sadness on their actions. THAT'S a class act. I applaud you Stacy. WELL DONE! I know many of us are afraid to say who we are voting for, for this very reason. NO MORE! I will speak my mind just as everyone else does and ignore any comments towards my decision. I hate what America is becoming, so full of hate. YES, we do need to be United, and we can start by being courteous to another.

[@feliciano2040]

Almost four minutes of not knowing WHY she supported Romney. And she doesn't seem dumb, which makes this video even more confusing.
