READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On Tuesday evening, "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed actress Stacey Dash to the program for an honest and revealing live interview.
Having recently tweeted her support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the woman best know for her role in 1995's "Clueless" shared the reasons behind her endorsement:
"I would say because of the state of the country, and I want the next four years to be different," says the 46-year-old who voted for Barack Obama in 2008. "I believe him...I watched him, the Governor and his wife, on 'Meet The Press.'...They spoke to me, they seemed authentic and genuine."
After publicizing her political intentions on Twitter, Dash received a tremendous amount of negative response, much having to do with her race, and gender:
"The fury, I really don't understand the fury," she told Piers Morgan. "I don't understand it. I don't get it...I was shocked, saddened. Not angry. Saddened and really shocked. But you know what, you can't expect everyone to agree with you."
Watch the clip, as the woman who played Dionne alongside Alicia Silvertone's Cher further explains what drew her towards Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.

I think that you did this to help your career. Don't hink it will help you. The next four years will be different. Your career is over. Hey, just my opinion.
I so agree!! She need a JOB!!! OR A BIGGGGGG One!!!!
so if they spoke to you, let them support you financially!
persons of color are scared to support the conservatives specially in colleges
Yeah he (Romney) changes his mind all the time. I could not understand why the President allowed him to get away with that in the debate. If you look back on the republican debates, he's done a 180 on a number of issues....the president has to be calm but hard on him in the next debate..,.,
Stacey should know that Latter-Day Saints/Mormans historically discriminated against African-americans by prohibiting them from roles in the church's priesthood and misinterpreting holy scriptures to justify their prejudice and preaching African-americans were a 'cursed' race. Supporting a politician whose religion has latent traces of continued prejudice is disappointing. – Or maybe she is just clueless.
Coming from mass. Weknow Mitt Romney and one thing I can promise you is when he says he is going to do something he does it. He staightened out our deficit only to see duvall blow it all. So I dont think you know what your talking about
Never heard of her? Maybe in your small circle of TV friends. She was in the extremely popular movie Clueless, then the TV show form multiple years. She has been in many movies as well as some music videos. She most recently had a tv show on the CW. She may not be as popular as a Kardashian, but she is a known celebrity.
wow....you address so much, give horrible answers and attack her for no reason. how can you attack someone for coming forward about something by saying they want 5 minutes of fame........you could attack anyone with that...ANYONE.....how dare you post IN ALL CAPS!! do you want attention? youre so foolish its sad that people like you get to vote.
I'm black and I have never heard of this women. Hey she can vote for whomever she chooses, but as a black man in America I think it is important to support Obama, besides I feel he has done a great job. My wife is white an attorney and she agrees with me. If I thought Obama had cause problems in this country or hasn't tried to fix the problems I'd vote for someone else and not Romney/Ryan because their both liars and very creepy. Last, I can tell you from my own experiences from working with a few mormon's that they are very racist people. If Romney is elected it will turn back the clock 100 years. Stacey Dash can go to hell!!
Mc Smith at the bottom has the gall to say Romney is a racist yet in the same breath says he's supporting Obama because he's black? It just doesn't get any more racist than that.
The double standard for and by blacks in this country is so sad. Look how racist the black people are that a black person should heaven forbid support someone white. Lets follow and have white people vote for only white people and hispanic the same. Black people are more prejudiced now then anyone else and the liberal media buys this garbage.
This is really a stupid thing to say. Blacks supported Clinton.
Not true...if Herman Cain was the republican nominee, most blacks would still support Obama....Most black can relate more to Obama than Mitt....Mitt said the middle class make $200,000 a year....he's out of touch...if you think that he's looking to help you if make less than that, your crazy....he really thinks trickle down works.....put money in the hands of the middle class they will spend....small business will grow and hire...the economy will get better...you give the money to wealthy, they will look for opportunities...if they don't see them, the won't spend...thus not helping the economy....
Its not about race! Seriously what do you think the Voter ID law was created for? So that the poor, the disabled, the disadvantage, and minorities will not vote. This was a law specifically created by Republicans to make sure that this part of America can not have their vote and their voice heard because if they could they would clearly vote Obama. Don't pretend that race, or gender, or social class is not a factor when the Republicans have made a clear point of trying to get a certain group of people NOT to vote.. Its always a factor. Now do I believe that Stacy Dash should have her opinion of course. But lets not pretend that everything is lipstick and lollipops in American politics.
Your statement is very idiotic. How many white men presidents has this country had ?. Forty plus, right, and you are saying that blacks in this country only started voting when Obama became a candidate ??.
How many black politicans have you ever supported and voted for? I'll bet you $100 to two dead flies none. You self rightous stupid bastar#.
This is so not true. Black people supported Bill Clinton.. 😉
Given the fact blacks have voted for "White Men" running for President from the time Blacks won the right to vote dispels the notion that black people or some blacks are racist. Barack Obama was not the only black person to run for the presidency and in those previous presidential runnings by Chisolm, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. – Blacks still overwhelmingly voted for a "White Man" – duh!!!
You must have a third grade education...idiot!!!!! sorry for giving third graders a bad rep!!!!!
There are definitely a number of vocal prejudiced black people who will excoriate any black people who "get out of line" in other words: "don't vote for the liberal or black candidate". There are also a number of vocal liberal white people who do the same thing. They have "tolerance" for all kinds of situations and beliefs as long as you aren't a conservative. I think that the majority of people: liberal, moderate, and conservative are good, reasonable, and kind.
The comments that try to make the point that Blacks voted for Clinton are pretty funny. #1- Clinton wasn't running against a black opponent. #2- Clinton was/is lovingly called the "First Black President" by blacks and whites alike....
Of course there's only been one black nominee, so prior to 2008 the choice was voting for a while man or not voting at all. That's not necessarily "support."
Didn't the President plead for civil discourse in our politics? Here's your chance to respect his request.
Wow! A dazzling display of ignorance and a massive oversimplification of a supremely complicated issue; well done. If you see blacks as the most racist people in this country... god bless you. You neither know black people nor understand the country you live in, let alone what racism is. Can't spend time getting you up to speed on what's essentially obvious to the vast majority of those on the PLANET. So sorry this ain't working for you... I really hope thing improve.
This Black man voted for Clinton twice, and would gladly do it again if he could run.
persons of color are scared to support the conservatives
Sounds like someone is having a miserable life and needs to put down someone to feel better. So sad. Go home and get a life – you feeble minded insecure piece of rodent feces.
You are a loser,a no talent has been and never was much to look at...the name is dead just like your career,if anyone needs to get a life its you lowlife loser!!!!!!
She's mad. Maybe she has a cold or the flu, because it is flu season.
She can support anyone she likes... I won't be supporting her career, either.
Really that's all you could come up with.
Stacey Dash's endorsement of Mitt Romney should come at no surprise. She only dates white guys.
If that isn't raciest,i don't know what is!
It is not nice to see your concern for some some Americans about who they date. Is it because of the the color of their skin, the content of their character, or they don't believe what you do? Freedom of thought is not tolerated in your world view unless it agrees with you. A gulag in hell for non-believers, right? Obama hasn't helped the country and four more years could make things much,much worse with unemployment and debt. It is very true, the rich need to share more of their wealth, but they will not do so if coerced. The wealhty will flee, close down their business, and futher hide their assets. Watch the movie Atlas Shrugged II. Better yet, read the book, and read Animal Farm. The lies about what really happened (and when) in Libya should clue us in. Obama, a week after the terrorist attack, lied on David Letterman blaming the attack on a video and protests. Why do people still stand behind these politicians who decieve us over crucial matters like what happened in the death of Chris Stewart and 3 others Americans. Privately, are they lying to their mothers?
Mathat Stewart rightly went to prison for insider trading, Pelosi (a more equal pig) hid behind congressional privelage. You want more of this? They want to finish what they started? What? Take over over health care? What will happen to everyone who works in the prvate insurance industry? Who will pay for their healthcare? As you socialize, you end up with less of the private sector paying taxes. To keep the same revenues coming in the governent will have to raise taxes and fees on everyone else. But everyone else doesn't want to pay for someone elses needs. This will lead to more tax cheating, blackmarkets, and fraud. Do you want to live in a nation of 9 dollar gas to pay for a socialized system that rewards dependency for a vote? More money spent on gas = less money spent at a movie, dinner, clothes, etcetera. There is little hope for some of you blinded in a belief that you can play God making the world a better place by taking from someone else. It is stealing, it wil kill the American Spirit, and it will destroy our nation. Is this what Obama wants to utterly "transform America"? God help us, and if you don't believe God, allow me the right to do so, otherwise go to hell...just kidding...maybe I deserve to go their also, but I believe in Grace.
So True! She will learn the hard way, just like OJ Simpson did. It's a shame Stacey Dash is a wanna be and not a real sista. Face it color blind fool, At the end of the day, Romney and Ryan still look at you as a little black tootsie roll and you know what that mean. So go ahead and vote for whom ever you want because it is your choice dummy!
Don't think so. Guess what? Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean that her opinion is a way to get attention, or a job or make a scene. Why is it that only the liberals have this mindset? Why can all the bleeding heart millionaire "stars" spew their Democratic beliefs without any backlash, but the few conservatives who dare to say something are attacked? Liberals are so two faced.
I myself voted for Obama and now I feel like a complete fool for the way he has run this country completely in the ground! Most of the people I speak with who voted for Obama feel the same way, he just has'nt delivered on the promises he spoke about during he campaign. And as for Stacy Dash on getting all of this flack...well she has her right to change her mind just as much as you or me, she just feels like she been lied to by a lier and fooled like most of the people who voted for him! Time for a Change America!!!
Don't believe the hype as Republicans are hoping and praying for bad news..This economy is not doom and gloom. We are doing big things here, revolutionary things. I am pleased with Obama's leadership and long list of accomplishments. We'd be worse off if it weren't for Obama stepping in to save the auto industry and the banks from collapsing etc.... We didn't get here overnight; it took decades to create the current economic conditions just as it will take time to CONTINUE turning things around. Who thought everything would be restored in 4 short years? If you did, your misguided and out of touch with reality. Real change has ALWAYS been difficult. Real change, not band aid fixes. We can and will do it!
She makes more money through royalties in one months time than the three of you do in a year.
she is not even big actress n i use to like her lol but dammmn i think she is broke
Has she seen the 47% video yet? Surely her being unemployed put her in that "pays no tax" status that Mitt said wasn't taking personal responsibility for their lives, never will, and that he wasn't worried about them. Has she seen "that" Mitt Romney and chose to vote for him still? She deserves all the flack she is getting. I don't want that man leading my great country.
Stacy there are better ways to get on TV and get noticed, like learn to act and get a job. It seems in your waining years you may have thought this was the best way, no problem. Hmm Your right however Romney flip flops and you voting for obama then Romeny shows your a true republican. Amazing how we all forget so quickly, I guess if Obama wins you'll call to wish him well. Look people I just want the best man to win, stop with all the tv spots and BS to push your agenda. Stacy we loved you just be quiet, either be a true Republican and run with the big dogs or keep your puppy ass on the pourch. Respectfully
She needs to grow up. You've got people threatening actual violence against our President and screaming of armed revolutions. You got a little flack on Twitter BFH.
It is not nice to see your concern for some Americans, but not all. Is it because of the the color of their skin, the content of their character, or they don't believe what you do?

You milked this enough, I think, in time you will realize it was not a good move on your part.
She is just like the stupid , slow, characters that she play on tv/movies. Personally, i don't think she even know how a president is elected but when asked why she changed her vote from Obama to Romney, she paused and gave a stupid excuse. If anyone knows anything about the 2 of the 3 branches of government, it takes longer than 4 years to change an entire country around that had 8 years of dictator Bush. Stacy needs to stop focusing on her dumb vote change and focus more on her career, or lack of one . She is so far from Angelina Jolie far as demand.
I am blown away how stupid the majority of you liberal idiots are when it comes to political policies and campaign protocol. You idiots spew out the rhetoric and "talking points" that trickle down for your supreme leaders administration as if it were something that is just because Mom said so! How about researching both candidates with an open mind that's your own. Draw your own conclusions and then make a stand for what you believe and why you feel that way. Stop regurgitating what you hear on the TV,
I don't think it was smart to tell people who she is voting for. It is her right, but I don't think she needed this type of attention, and a smart actress or actor know that something like this will bring attention. We all make mistakes.
@ the same Bill Maher said he is democrat or other. Clint Eastwood said he endorse Romney .The only thing she is black and as I said blck racist made an scandal also white racist and hispanics too.
Ms. Dash, there are a lot of women who share your opinion. There are many conservatives in Hollywood. Thank you for speaking out.
She's wants the country to head in a different direction. Well, if she wants the country to head in a different direction, then there's no better way to accomplish that than to vote for Romney/Ryan. The last time I checked, GWB was on the campaign trail endorsing Mitt Romney and defending his failed policies that Romney has pledged to continue. This woman is brainwashed and illiterate. This is a black woman who is successful today and able to vote simply because people like Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King., Jr. put their lives on the line and fough for racial justice and equality and for an end to racial segregation and discrimination and for the right of all Americans to be able to vote. But this woman is so ignorant of her own history that she's now willing to vote for a republican party that's busy injecting Jim Crow into the political scene, dividing the country with their bigotry and racisn and suppressing the right of Americans to vote. As they say, those who ignore history are bound to repeat it. Good luck!
Cant you see that you and Magic Johnson are pointing out to the world that you are the racists because you are voting based upon skin color and not the issues. If you disagree with a black man, whether right or wrong, you should based on the issues. It makes me sick to see liberals pull the race card so often when they are clearly the ones letting skin color dictate their decision making. Any black man in their right mind should be taking a hard look at the soaring unemployment numbers for blacks and wonder if they can take four more years .
The last time I checked, the voter suppression campaign by the GOT was designed to suppress a certain RACE of Americans from casting their vote. And all the profiling laws in Arizona and throughout the south is geared toward discriminating against Hispanic Americans. Furthermore, when candidate Obama ran for office, people like Rush Limbaugh who's a stern supporter of Mitt Romney and many in the republican party said that a black man should not be allowed to be President of the United States. And two years ago, that tea party president said that the emancipation proclamation was a mistake and that blacks were just looking for handouts and big screen tvs. Let's face it, RACE is a game the GOT do best.
Blah Blah Blah
Black people had the right to vote before women did.
Ms Dash is a simpleton, she has no idea of the political climate in America. She dosen't understand that in electimg President she is also electing a ideology. Someone ask her to explain how the ideology of the Republican party is going to unite the country. How can she say that she believed Romney when all he has done is tell a different lie every day. Has she been living under a rock? She is a stupid woman.
well said, she watched 10 minutes of Romney talking like a real person and she fell in love? 1. Romney is a nice guy, so what? 2. If black pepple have to automattically vote democrat, then isnt Democracy kind of useless? 3. Why do people fail to realize a big reason why the economy did so poorly for the last 4 years was because of the 4 years before???
Voter suppression? Is that what you call making sure no one manipulates the most important right we have as citizens? If you cant come up with an ID of some kind, you shouldn't be voting.
snakedog, how many years did you take to finish elementary school. dude, you can't even spell how do you expect anyone to respect your opinion when can't spell
You are bashing the Republican party without doing your homework... It was mostly Republicans who marched with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Washington, it was mostly Republicans who helped make the changes for a better America in the 1960s. I'm not saying they are any better than the Democrats. But, It's these same Repubilicans, who want to give those rights that you have, those same rights to the unborn. Who speaks for the unborn? The Democrats? NOT! Please do a little research for yourself and stop repeating what the news/media and bad educators want you to think. I'm an educated woman and I will vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan!
So sad that women and minority arent allowed to have an independent intelligent opinion. I know better and got an education and a career. These mongrels making these comments are so ignorant and racist. We have such a two rule system. They dont know the liberal media loves keeping minorities "in their place" by being barefoot pregnant and ignorant rapping with obscenities – and red neck america buys into it. We are so doomed with these morons.
I agree allpooh. A lot people don't even know who she is, and this coming from a women who said on national tv that " I slept with every one of my boyfriends on the first date" and all her relationships have failed. Obviously Romney doesn't have to try hard to convince her.
I love it!!!! I heard that before!! I 'm a Latina.....she's trying to get a job!! Do she really believe that Mitt shops at Costco? This wackco is looking to make money!!!!!! I would ask STACEY!!! What about women rights!!!! DUMBBBBOOO. I know you want to ......smoooooooooch with ROMEY HOPING HIS MILLIONS WILL RUB OFF? Not !!!!! Try again.
Costco? I am sure that the Obama's shop at Costco. You people just don't get it.
Why must everyone put down this girl? Are you all so insecure? Are black or latin people not allowed to vote with their minds or can they only have illegitimate children and meed the liberal media stereotype? You minorites are so dang prejudiced to your own kind. Its disgusting.
Gatsby--Mrs Obama does shop at Target and Walmart.....
I see Stacey as a brave woman. I'm a Republican and I have Democratic friends. I know how they are going to vote and they know how I'm going to vote. We sometimes have conversations about the election, but the conversations are civilized. The attacks against Stacey Dash were no more than name calling. That doesn't prove a political point. It just demonstrates that they have nothing substantial to say.
Ronald stacey has a right to voice opinion. She's looking for a job!!! She has done that for years. She been around the block. She goes where the money goes hoping it would RUB on her.
My oh my – someone so insecure like you is awful bitter. Get a life honey and keep your legs crossed so you'll feel better about yourself. Putting down others to elevate yourself is so ghetto!
Let me see if I get this right...
Mitt Romney has gained significant ground in the national polls overnight simply because President Obama did not attack him on Bain Capital, on outsourcing American jobs, on laying off American workers, on calling for the auto industry to go bankrupt, on tax evasion, on saying it is not his job to worry about 47% of the American people, on saying he's not concerned about the poor because there's a safety net for them, on saying that he likes to fire people, on failing to suport equal pay for equal work, on Massachusetts being 47th in job growth, on saying its not worth moving heaven and earth to find Bin Laden...???
So doesn't President Obama get any credit at all for stabilizing the American economy, for saving the auto industry, for creating 5.2 million private sector jobs, for saving 2.2 million public sector jobs, for making healthcare affordable for all Americans, for reforming Wall Street to safeguard against another catastrophic economic meltdown, for ending the illegitimate Iraqi war, for setting a deadline to end the Afghan war, for strenghtening our national security by getting rid of Osama Bin Laden and thousands of other al Qaeda operatives, for fighting for the middle class, for women, for seniors, for gays and lesbians, for minorities, for students, for our military men and women,, for all Americans...???
Obama/Biden 2012 by a LANDSLIDE!
USA BANKRUPTCY by a Landslide. You win and we all lose! Way to go!
The Iraq and Afghan wars alone have cost 5.2 trillion dollars. Romney/Ryan in charge would be the end of America as we know it. Who you goanna blame that wasteful spending on, Clinton?
Blah: Nope. You didn't get it right.
The current democrat party mirrors the mood of the German Nazi party of the 1930's. How sad that a once proud party is now nothing more than lunatics
Your comment is extremely futile and childish; please correlate being openminded, with extreme disdain for all other cultures(even your own, unless you have blue eyes and blond hair) based on a dillusional idealism. The only party that is close minded and thinks everything is "black and white," is the Republican party. But we can agree to disagree, take care....
You've got it all mixed up pally. That nazi party would be no other than the domestic terrorist Jim Crow teapublican party that over the span of four years have been involved in all sorts of acts of treason and efforts to undermine our democracy, whether its a Texan Judge or Ted Nugent calling for a civil war if our President is re-elected, the burning of Qurans, calling for the assassination of our President, calling for gays and lesbians to be electrocuted, for hispanics to be shot at south of the border, shooting up the White House, gunning down Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others on the campaign trail, blowing up the oil rid in the Gulf a year after passage of the historic healthcare legislation and on and on and on... No, the nzti party you're referring to is the racist confederate teapublican party.
Why didn't you post the whole interview? Was she explaining what Obama has done to this country? and you didn't like it. I don't know, but she seems like an intelligent woman that deservs respect and courtesy.
Lets tell it like it is. She has escaped the chains of the Democratic Party and they are hunting her down with threats and intimidation. There are probably others who are having the same thoughts as her and it scares the heck out of the Dems that more people might begin thinking for themselves and also take off running; intimidation is the way to keep that from happening. The rest of you, do you hear that? Don't even think about running! They will make your life hell. This might be worse on her than if she were trying to leave Scientology, or converting from Islam to Christianity.
True dat, truuuuue dat!
Where was she when your party was wrecking this nation? I guess she had a contract then and was oblivious to it.
The interest on the debt you left Obama alone would have stretched the deficit and we all see how your tax cuts and war mongering were a huge help. Thanks to the inevitable financial crisis. Please go hide.
Dear KlvrV (clever?? I think not so much), You are thrashing around like a dying rattlesnake and biting yourself; You know zero about me and make broad assumptions in your attack. Are you seeking to suppress my free speech too? How about addressing the issue at hand, bullies publicly lynching a black woman for daring to have an opinion of her own. This is not very far removed from the Taliban shooting that 14 yr old girl in Afghanistan for expressing her opinion. Black people were once openly persecuted by white people, that's in the past, ...history; now they are persecuted by other blacks for daring to think beyond what Jesse or Al tell them to think. Keep attacking your freedoms and one day you will have none.
When are you going to pose for Playboy again ?
She's toooo old. Maybe for Romey's Private Dancer? That won't work she's part of the 47%. And........he doesn't eat dark meat!!!!
People that are voting for Romney have poor judgement and cannot see through his smoke and mirrors.
Can't wait for Thursday!!
Thank you! You are so right. People like Stacey Dash who have had one bad relationship after another (she admits herself) is NOT a good judge of character. She has zero credibility. Folks: presidential candidates who lie about their taxes, say behind closed doors that 47% of the American people can go to hell, call Russia the Soviet Union and our biggest enemy and completely change their platform on which they campaigned all year just to score points in a debate do not have good character. Please don't believe this fallacy he is now presenting. He'll say anything to win. Please do not vote Romney. We can't trust him. He won't fulfill his promises, not those that would benefit average people. His dishonesty is scary for our country and for us as each of us (partcularly middle class) Americans.
If Ms. Dash had a coherent argument for advocating for Romney I would listen. I too believe that Obama has turned his back on his base. Unfortunately Ms. Dash has no grasp of the issues. She speaks in airheaded generalizations. Fortunately she had Pierce lobbing softball questions at her the entire interview. We would all like the next 4 years to be different from the last 4, 2008 in particular. Most of the slogans she mentioned on are actually lines from the Obama campaign with one hilarious attempt at a MLK quote. Clearly this is a ploy to give a boost to her dying acting career. I certainly don't begrudge Ms. Dash's right to vote for whatever candidate she chooses. I'm going to exercise my right to ignore her. What's next Pierce? A foreign policy debate with Britney Spears?
This was on the money (no pun intended). She does indeed have the right to choose (of course, under Romney/Ryan, not for long!).I only wish people who do decide to go Romney would admit what they really like about him. The representation of big money and the American dream of hoarding it . The idea that tax breaks for the rich so they can spread the prosperity by way of jobs is laughable. Let's not forget just how cheap Ann Romney keeps telling the press Mitt is. Turning off the water heater when the family leaves the house. That skinflint ain't making new jobs for nobody. And thank you for pointing out Piers' super gentle line of questioning that is beginning to nauseate me. He is sounding awfully pro-Romney these days when we count on CNN to be non-bias. Britney Spears on foreign policy. Too funny!
Romey is all about his BILLIONS!!! He needs to show his taxes!!!!!
He did, nimrod
Truth be told !!!
I just caught the last couple of minutes of her interview. Although I am Canadian I, along with a great many others here, have followed the campaigns of both candidates. It seems to me, both parties and most of the U.S., are missing the obvious...the entire world is in financial difficulty, including Canada. The IMF has just announced they are downgrading all countries prospects in the coming year. Check the stats....since 2008, most of the countries in the industrialized world have economies that are stagnant or have fallen behind, and jobless numbers that are worse than 2008. Stop blaming Obama, it was the Republicans and Bush for the most part, that started the whole debacle! We get that, even here in the far north. Again, I am Canadian and can't vote. I have no vested interest. It is just amazing to me, that the people in the U.S. seem to think you are suffering more, or are worse off than most of the rest of the industrialized world!
WOWWWW!!!! Your good and your so right!!
you are right, I would hope that most americans would take the time to pay attention to
what is going on around the world especially in our own country, many americans are
ill informed and only pay attention to social media.
Not surprise about Paul Ryan ducking reporters' questions. He's a light-weight just like his wanta be boss...Romney. I really believe it is just a few of us who are really listening to what they are telling folks. I still say (yeah I'm that 20% who say Obama won the debate) Romney didn't know or understand what he was talking about in the debate and Obama caught on and bowed out graciously. However I understood Mr. Obama. Obama's style and rhetoric was dignified not boorish like Romney's. Last Spring I was hospitalized and then sent to a skilled nursing facility for 6 weeks, and who would believe in the same year, I'm once again in a skilled nursing facility this time for 3 weeks but have a private room. The first nursing facility I had a roommate, an 87-year old Caucasian woman who suffers from dementia. Funny we never spoke or talk with each other. I did tried a few times but decided to give her her space. Sometimes she would lash out at the staff, say crazy things and at times do a complete shutdown (Hmmmm….sounds like Romney). However, in the very wee hours when I somehow was awaken or was still awake I would hear her talking, quite naturally to herself, but this talk was different, well-paced. a modulate tone so as they say "I took a listen." The speech or talk was well beyond me, but funny I could understand it. Thus, I inquired about her background and was told she was a retired college professor and would recite her lectures from time to time. The moral of the story is that Mr. Obama had a better handle in presenting his message as to say you could understand him in the debate than Romney and the reason for that is because Mr. Obama too was a college professor.
Thought to share that. There's a new Boogeyman on the scene his name is Mitt Romney. Terrorizing old folks, poor folks, little kids, China, the Queen of England, Mr. Obama, those Angelical Christians, and so on . . .
While I do agree with anyone's right to form and cast an opinion, I do encourage you to research those opinions prior to making them public knowledge. I just reviewed Ms. Dash's interview on Piers Morgan and unfortunately found her to be flighty, unable to articulate a political position (beyond a smile and a flip of your hair), and a simple "listen to what he says (Romney)". I too am a registered GOP supporter, currently undecided. But I cannot help but show concern for my country and political party when my representative has an inconstant opinion on foreign policy (Syria, Israel). tends to reflect whatever opinion is "in the room", promises a $5 tril deficit (tax cut) with no formal plan and is constantly apologizing after offending 47% of hard working, retired military, students and the aged or elderly. Just as I cringe when citizens encourage voting simply because a candidate is Black, I also cringe when (in my opinion) a celebrity encourages voting without facts or knowledge of the candidate's platform. I've just reviewed your FB page and I see "How is it?" and "Is it Hot?" Never a mention of strong political beliefs or policies, community involvement nor charity work. Is this current political position you have presented a tactic for Hollywood exposure? Ms. Dash, you are a mature, beautiful woman, going forward please reflect more substance in both character and content.
It appears Piers is a card-carrying Republican and he does not even have the decency to hide that fact. His choice of guests and the questioning tactics make his program indistinguishable from Fox News. And it appears his bosses at Time Warner don't mind this transformation. What a platform? What a time?
My whole issue is she telling people to vote for the one she choice to want to vote for and now she upset cause people are telling her since a trader or wanted to vote for someone else? She not very bright she should of said " i support Mitt and i hope you will give him a chance" That would of been a better tweet i don't care for skin color but she a clueless thinking that Obama could of done something this quick? your not voting on the issue stacy you voting on a person you BARLEY EVEN KNOW.
As we know, our society is extremely judgmental; which is one of the many reasons why a lot of celebrities do not get involve with outwardly supporting politicians. In my opinion, a person's political choice is their personal business, however, I do not feel that in this case Stacey Dash is getting backlash for outwardly saying that she voted for President Obama in 2008 but is now switching to Romney. As a proud supporter of President Obama and his re-election, I would like to say that it is easy for all of us to judge and criticize our president on the job he is doing, but I also feel that the people who are now voting against him need to ask themselves: What have I done to help President Obama during the past four years?......Have I just publicly stated that I am going to vote for him when a camera and microphone is in my face?...Have I financially supported him?....Have I tried to get one of his campaign reps to speak to me about some of my own ideas that may benefit our country?...etc….I think that if a person who has decided that President Obama has disappointed him can answer those questions with a "yes" and be honest about it, he or in this case, she (Stacey) should be at peace with their decisions…And, if Stacey has not done all that she can do to help her Democratic party then there is no need for her to complain about what President Obama has or has not done…What may be important to Stacey may not be as important to the average American citizen. She is, after all, a celebrity and I put her in the 1% of Americans who do NOT identify with the 99% of middle to lower class citizens….It is easy to criticize someone else but it is even harder to help make a difference in the lives of others…When the going gets rough some people abandon ship and in this case, I feel that is exactly what Stacey has done. And, I pray that the rest of us who have been Democrats long before President Obama threw his hat into the ring will not get wishy-washy and stick with our political party. Also, let us remember President Obama NEVER promised that his presidency would be an easy one, therefore, we must continue to BELIEVE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE our American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…..God Bless!!
There's one slight problem with your otherwise great comment...and that is who's to say that she didn't vote for Mccain/Palin when she stepped into that boots in 2008?
As a black man I have no problem with Stacey Dash supporting Romney, she can vote and support anyone she likes. The thing that puzzles me about her interview is the surprise and shock that she had from others. What world is she living in? At this point in her life she has to know that people in general will not agree with everything she says. In addition going on social media you also have to know that again people in general will write and say anything they want without consequences. She has to know that, right? Why is she shocked? When you are dealing with people you get what you get, the good and the bad. Maybe Stacey had been around too many yes people, people who will agree with everything she says all the time and don't criticize.
Did you even see what was said to her? It wasn't just resistance...it was blatant racism against her supporting a white candidate.
As I mentioned earlier, I am Canadian, however, like many of my countrymen/women, we have more than a passing interest in U.S. politics. In relation to a couple of comments made during this current topic....I also agree with some folks regarding, what appears to be a bias on the part of the network toward the Rep party, in their coverage and these interviews. This includes not only Piers, but Anderson Cooper as well. Having said that, I would like to digress and reiterate my earlier comment related to everyone doing their homework, pertaining to the state of the economies and jobless rates in the rest of the world. Get real Rep's, the U.S. is no better and no worse than the majority of the industrialized world! To put it into perspective, Canada has fared better than most countries during this financial/economic crisis, and the U.S. is actually on a par or better with us in most areas....we have a slight edge with our jobless rate, but not much. I'm not saying things are great....just remember where you were 4 years ago, when you probably thought you were going over the precipice, and yet you survived, and as I have already said, you are doing as well as the rest of the industrialized countries, and better than a great many of them. My point, all this Romney person does is repeatedly use the economy and jobless rate as a club to hammer the Dem's., and yet I have not heard anything concrete from him or his party in the way of real solutions. There is no substance to his metaphorical hammer!!
I applaud Stacey for her stance her public support of Gov. Romney, it's not about her career as some seem to think. It's about voting for who you think can help turn this country around! I'm a black pastor from Florida, I didn't vote for our President the first time & I certainly won't be voting for him this time! He was not ready to be president & his term in office has proven that! I'm thankful my nation would put skin color aside in selecting a president however Mr. Obama was not the right person for the job no matter what his color! I'm an American! & I will vote my convictions not my skin color! I believe that with Gov. Romney's state executive experience, business experience, Olympic experience, & perspective on how to turn this economy around, he's the man for the job he's got my vote! Right on Stacey!
Good try but, You are not black and you are not a Pastor. What you are is , a sick AZZ white boy trying to play games.
Yeah and you're NOT a Marine. Romney definitely leads the polls with our armed forces; which you should know. Not all black people like Obama, idiot.
Guess what? He really is a minister. Ken A. Williams and he is a black man. Your nasty response will get you prayed for.
After all these years she's still clueless!!!!
well done! well said...end of story
It was a movie. Plus, what about the other actress in that movie... would you call her clueless if she were to support whomever she supported?
So silly, that whole reference to clueless... so ... immature.
Morgan: You voted for Obama 4 years ago, so why vote for Romney?
Ms. Dash: I'm going to vote for Romney because he's going to (insert campaign slogans and talking points from Obama's campaign 4 years ago, and some from this year).
Great. Way to think things through.
GOOD for You Stacey..Don't let these Angry, "Race Card" happy Ignorant BIGOTS get to you....;}
What miss Dash is experiencing is a double edged sword, being a black woman voting Rupub is going to bring the Ire of black people, and minorities, and although I understand her frustration the last four years under Obama ( I voted for him as well) I don't understand how she thinks Romney (mr flip-flop) is going to be any better for this country than Obama...unfortunately the people are at a point of picking the lesser of two evils, and IMHO Romney is not it, The GOP would have been better if they had Ron Paul....but ohhh well, what some people have tweeted her is on a disgusting level, she can vote for who she feels is right to her, calling her a hack is disrespectful, I wonder how some of these people that said the gross things to her would say lets say if........Halle Berry would have endorsed Romney??????
It is unbelievable to what extents the liberals illiterate go. It is certainly Ok for a famous person to say they support Obama but they get attack if they say they support Romney. This just show everyone what the real liberal establishment is all about. And the hypocrisy from most people attacking her and other people voting, calling her names and telling her the only reason she does it is to get a job or that she doesn't have a clue, who cares she still has the same right as you do to make her own decision and vote for whoever she wants. What about the celebrities like Snoop Dogg (smokes weed with son), Lady Gaga (no comments), Madonna (Black Muslim in the White House comment) etc that support Obama? I don't hear you calling them name, or is your intellectual so low that they impress you more than Stacey Dash? I for one don't care who votes for Obama, is their right, but I certainly don't go calling them names or bashing them for having a different view than mine, it is our right as Americans, it is our choice and showing a little civility won't hurt you.
No one in the black community give a damn about this clueless twit. I don't care if she vote for Rocky. She came out with this for press since she can't keep a job. CNN you jumped on the band wagon with this storyless story. I don't care who she vote for and I care even less about anything she has to say. With her reputation of being catty and nasty tell he what she need to do is go get on someone couch maybe then she can keep a job and a husband.
I love Clueless!
What does this say about the state of political discourse in the media Piers? Ask yourself that question. What does it say about the state of political discourse in the media that you're interviewing STACEY DASH about her political views. Come on, maaaaaannn...
Lets not forget, that
1) Stacy Dash is not "black" she is biracial (black and white)
2) Barack Obama is not "black" he is also biracial (black and white)
Why is it that everyone in this country that is mixed is automatically "black?"
Stacy Dash in my eyes, is white. Barack Obama in my eyes, is also for the most part, "white."
the reason why you are automatically black when you are biracial is because white legislative said if you are 8% African American then you are black. that is why the majority of mixed races that are half black identify themselves as black.
Stacey Dash is of Bajan, African American, and Mexican descent. Where did you get your facts from? Or are they just assumptions? Barack Obama identifies himself as a black man. Legislation says that if you are 8% African American, you are black (as stated).
Why do you see them both as white/mostly white? They are both biracial. The ignorance of your comment expresses the close-mindedness of some people in this country. The influential, successful, and the educated aren't always "white." Open your eyes and get your facts straight, it's 2012 and we live in a diverse world.. it's not always "black" or "white."
It is a shame that anyone has to get treated like this for sharing their views etc... Like Ms. Dash, I am bi-racial and she carries the burden of always trying to find a place to fit in. Although no one is saying it, if Ms. Dash looked white, there would be no issue whatsover. By virtue of her appearance, she is labeled a sell-out, traitor etc... Tolerance must work both ways.
Oh, I think the rich issue over rides the being black isue, to describe her reasoning for wanting Romney.
Sorry but I disagree with you completely. It's because she's part black. As a black Republican I catch non-stop flack if I join into political discussions which is why I choose to avoid them unless talking to like minded people.
The Dems' lack of tolerance is both typical and disappointing.
Many people don't "get it".. Where it comes to Romeny and Ryan and their attack on the "other" people.. Which includes most the United States.
Right now Detroit isn't the only community experiencing crime due to police cut backs..Ryan thinks they "need jobs"...?
People need jobs that pay enough to have decent lives..Unfortunately the tax cuts and the things they propose to do to bring those jobs back will create more suffering and hardships .. If they cared about the people of the United States , the Bush tax breaks that were :"supposed" to cajole the rich into bringing jobs back 'WOULD HAVE DONE IT'~!..
BUT LIke all Blackmailers ......NOW they want 'MORE"
And thats who and what Romney/Ryan and those that back them are all about.. They are about having it all.. And doing as they please.. A whole world full of people who can do nothing but as they dictate, because they "need" them to survive..
Be careful what you wish for.. Many societies have fallen under tyrannized rule.
I don't understand how people can be so blindsided and dumbfounded. Listening to Romney how can she say "he spoke to her" what did he say, when his words were empty? Any body can talk in circles, around the issues which is what Romney/Ryan are doing. They are not being forthcoming and those who say they speak to them are for lack of a better word, ignorant. Romney was loud, argumentative and lying at the debate so I guess that makes him seem more aggressive and for the American people. Just because a person speaks louder than you or talks over a person, doesn't make what they are saying to be true. That's why it's so important to LISTEN to what Romney/Ryan are saying. People are so easily confused and persuaded. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Good grief are Americans that simple-minded. ROMNEY/RYAN ARE LYING TO YOU. LISTEN to what they are saying. They are talking in circles and just appeasing you just to get your vote. If they get in office we will have a rude awakening.
What I don't understand is why in the hell does her opinion even matter. Everybody has one, you know. Is it because she's an actress? A so-called celebrity? Since when do celebrities' political opinions carry more weight than anyone else's? She doesn't even know what she's talking about. Who can see into Romney's heart and mind and see what he would do as President? He lies so much, how could you possibly trust him with that kind of power? Do you really think that he cares about non-wealthy people? He's never had a student loan. He's never had a mortgage. He's never had a car note. He's never been out of work. He's never been without income. He's never had any money problems (out of Ann's own mouth). How could a person like this ever relate and understand how most Americans live. And to think that he supposedly loves America so much and cares about the country so much that he places his money in offshore accounts, hids it so that it's not taxed and thinks that his 14% tax rate is fare when most of us pay more as a percentage of our income is absurd. I'm sorry. I just don't see the sense in electing Romney.
She doesn't like the state of the country and she wants the next four to be different. If Romney win it's going be different alright, not good for the senior citizen, poor and middle class. She always had some money so I guess she not included in the 47%. How soon people forget that before President Obama was elected he said that it would take more than one term to fix the mess George Bush left, so why I people putting a time limit on him. In my option I think President Obama did a hell of the job for what he went through. This man had been most disrespected and scrutinized President that I know of. What other President had their citizenship questioned and they even went as far as printing an article that his relative was a slaves which proved his family been in this country longer the majority non-black people mainly the dude with the road kill on his head. Every bill he tried to pass Congress fought him on, they would rather see him fell and let the country go down the toilet to see him succeed.
Thinking like that she might as well join the TEA PARTY which proved racism is still around, it was just low keyed. They don't like the way the country is being run, where they were when Bush ran this country in the ground.
When will you Obama voters realize that you are totally brainwashed and deranged "s c u m" of the earth ?? – Obama is worthless president without an agenda and clue how to fix his mess. Obama must lose or this country is doomed.
I don't agree that Obama voters are brain washed, because they don't listen to your Masters, the likes of "False News Net Work", Rush Limbaugh and others.
If black people in america are "more prejudiced than any other group of people" it is because white people made us this way.
...you need to man up and stop blaming others for your deficiencies.
Wow. I'm in love with her: beautiful and really smart and articulate. And she sees through the lies of the left and sincerely wants what is best for our country and everyone in it. Keep raising the level of discourse in America, Stacey, and the far better man (Romney) WILL win.
The level of discourse we've seen on this is a fine example of why our country is in trouble. The 2 parties have us pitted against one another and frightened into moving into our little camps. Blacks are supposed to vote democrat. Evangelicals are supposed to vote Republican. City dwellers are supposed to vote Democrat. Rural voters Republican. So on and so forth. BS! There is nothing wrong with an individual thinking for themselves and making their own decision even if it isn't the popular one amongst their demographic "group". Good for you Ms. Dash for having a mind of your own.
Like many people did, I watched the presidential debate. At first I wondered why president Obama was so subdued and not combative, then I came to the conclusion that Mr. Romney flip flopped again and became a Democrat at least for that debate. He is the one who out sourced jobs in the past and now he loves JOBS. He is the one who wanted to fire teachers, fire fighters and policemen, now he denies that and loves all of them. He is the one who wanted to people with pre-existing medical problems to fend for them selves, now he loves them. He is the one who said on "Meet The Press" that he will keep a lot of Obama's Health Care, then forty eight hours later he said he will totally repeal it. This is the one who said let the Auto industry go broke ( Thinking like a Bain Capital CEO) then he can swoop in and cash his profits. He is the won who dismissed and insulted 47% of the American people accusing them of not taking care of their responsibilities and depending on the Government to take care of them, and now he wants to be a president to all Americans. To those who are planning to vote for Mitt Romney ask your selves Which Romney are you voting for?
As I see it, President Obama and the Democrats should thank Mitt Romney for him endorsing the President's vision for the future of our country.
Would you run your home finances the way this country has been operated? If half of your kids worked and made a paycheck, would you take a good portion of it away and give it to the other kids who don't have a job? Would you take some of that same kid money and buy the non-working kids cell phones? Would you empty your bank account and then proceed to max out all of your credit cards? When you are in a hole, you need to stop digging. If this country continues with the negative revenues, then there will eventually be nothing left for anyone. I'd rather have a reduced pension than none at all.
Amen. Very well put, sir.
...dead on, sir.
I hope we see some 'more activity' from the President tomorrow.
How much was the check?
Stacey – I see you're still "Clueless". Romney is liar. He has changed his positions so many times, HE doesn't even know what he stands for any more. How can you possibly trust this man and support him when it is impossible to know what his positions really are or what he will really do if elected? You say you want the next four years to be different? Boot the Republican Congress men and women who have REFUSED to do anything to benefit this country for fear it might make Obama look good.
I never really thought of Stacey Dash as a "sista" anyway! I always thought she was a cute tan white girl!
When do the impeachment hearings begin on Benghazi – Obama said it was 100% the video and not his failures.
Seems that the Coverup is the main goal of Obama – Nixon resigned over a petty theft coverup
And Clinton was impeached for coverup around Whitewater and his girlly problems.
Obama went on TV and Lied about slaughtered Americans – HELLO?
Or do we have a new "STANDARD" – so a President Romney will be able to lie as well?
Let's not set a BAD precedent here –
No one told Obama to lie.
Proud of you Stacey!
This county is not united right now but hopefully will be after Romney gets elected.
Go Girl.
Stacey Dash: I don't believe in Romney, but I sure as hell believe in HER! Stacey is beautiful, intelligent and poised! Maybe I need to look at Romney again.....
It is amazing to see all the people that trash Romney changing his mind. The only thing that changes is the information you choose to see. If you actually watched HIS campaign and not the clouded version in the news, he has been very consistant. CNN, MSNC, NBC, etc are the ones making you people think he is changing his mind. Romney is a guy that is a great human being, with a great family, and has lived a clean and fantastic life, and done more good in the world than everyone on this blog combined. We ought to just say thank you for being willing to take on the incredible task of being our President, and vote for him. The next 2 debates will prove out what I say.
Let her vote her choice. And if Romney gets back in let her go down with him. Let's not pay to see any movie she's in or watch them. You can look at her and tell what she thinks she is. Dummy. I won't ever watch her on tv agin.
Why is Black America always defined by the idiocy of some few blacks in America? Stacey Dash has a right to her opinion and those who criticize her have their rights as well. That is America. It is unfortunate that some call her names because of her chosen vote but that is the same discourse some of all all races are using against others of all races. It is not a black thing...just a media created issue.
it is wrong to attack her. but her reasoning for choosing romney is evidence of how shallow some of us can be in deciding who we vote for. we as Americans need to be much harder to sway than 'meet the press, president and his wife, watched him a long time, i believe him,,,' girl, u need to reeeally have reasons.
otherwise aint nobody got a right to attack u for being on any side, do yo thang
Stacy Dash is a white women with black skin. She doesnt understand the blacklash because she doesnt understand black people, becasue she is not black. She said she believes Romeny. That goes to show how much of a idiot she is. How can you believe a person, when at a private party he says his job isnt to worry about the 47%. But when he knows the world is watching now all of a sudden he care about 100% of Americans. Romney is a complete liar and Stacy Dash is a ignorant white women with tan skin.
Hey, Hey, Hey now! Obama is white inside with tan skin too, nearly the exact same skin tone as Stacy. Obama was even raised by white people. Don't be bustin' on the tans, when my man Obama got one too!
It funny all liberals care about is what color ppl are the dems are slowly putting us all back on the plantation with there government hand outs..How is that 15% unemployment working for the blacks in america.They have enslaved the minds of all the youth of America through Hollywood movies ,music etc. oh Its cool to be a slave,for government to run your lives just like on the plantations of old..They always talk about the south well when bigotry was running wild in the south most if not all states were run by Democrats..history tells us that and remember we are the party of Lincoln we fought for civil rights while dems in the south fought against it! Obama and biden are what we fought against in are fight for freedom from the british and all you young ppl want to go back to that! all these false ppl you Liberals worship in the music industry and movie industry don't care about you,they don't even care about themselves,and we know that because of the life most of them live.Remember there are consequences to everything we do in life,it isn't someone else fault,ppl need to take responsibility for there actions,i have never ever heard Liberals take responsibility for anything,they always blame someone else,they have no humility and that's going to be there down fall ! Your sin will find you out! Your sin will find you out!
tgeer...if its not voter suppression...then why is it just being enforced in 2012 after the first black president was elected? If its all about having an ID and soforth, then why not put all that into practice before now? What about the previous elections? Why not this concern for manipulation of a vote before now?? Please... Nice try
I always think it's cute when someone thinks they have a First Amendment right to treat us all to their opinion but see it as oppression when someone else exercises their First Amendment right to treat her to their opinions. You can express yourself, and so can we. If you express your opinion to a wide enough audience, you're going to get someone show disagrees in the extreme and may be vulgar in expressing their dissent.
And then she says that her biggest problem with the country is that we're not united. Of course not! Some of us think, others are lemmings. She wants to be a lemming. Good for her. But I'm not going over the cliff just because she is.
Having read some of the tweets Stacey got I was more than shocked since much of the racist, vulgar language was coming from blacks. One can disagree with her without being nasty.
Blacks losing their freedom...won't happen!! This is 2012;not Jim Crow days.You white people luv uncle Toms like Stacy Dash as long as she is agreeing with you.If she change her mind & decide to support Obama,you white people would call her every vuigar name you can think of.You all can have Stacy,she'll fit in with you all.You whites are such hypocrites.We like our canidate;you guys will be cringing in the voting booth when you check the box by Mitt's name.He's a liar & a crook.
C'mon Sister, you are ignoring a few facts. One: there aren't enough black people voting to have gotten President Obama elected on their own–It was the larger number of white people that cast votes for him that put him in the White House. Two: Thousands of white people in blue uniforms gave their lives in the Civil war that resulted in the elimination of slavery. Three: Obama is half white and was raised by white people; he puts on a good show, but inside he is nearly pure white. In summary, lots of white (and half-white) people have done and still do plenty of good for black people and don't deserve the hate that you are spewing in their direction. Surely you don't hate Obama's whiteness do you?? It's inside him, there's no denying it.
Thank you, Stacy, for standing up for what you believe in. Never let the naysayers take that away from you!
15 minutes of fame not news worthy.
Hey idiots, she voted for Obama in the last election. She is voting for Romney because Obama has failed as a leader. DEAL WITH IT!
I agree with TJ! Doesn't that even occur to any of you?? You are pitiful. It's so interesting to see how Michelle and Barack are so "protected" by liberal America. This woman MUST be a newshound or something, right? She couldn't POSSIBLY be speaking in a genuine manner. Consider that!
It's like she is under some kind of inquisition for wanting to vote for Rommey/Ryan. The left can't quite get it that there may actually be the Hollywood type that would actually support the Republicans...get over it
Good for you Stacey!! I as a black man support you 100%. I too am not going to vote for Obama. To the rest of you...you think I "owe" Obama my vote just because he's black and I'm black....you better friggin wake up!!! It don't work that way. He has to EARN my vote and so far he has performed exactly like he did in the debate the other night. His answer was "I had a bad night!!!????" ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME!!!!! Black folks.....WAKE UP!!!!! And stop living in that black and white world of yours. There's a WHOLE lot more at stake than just this limited "black and white" "US versus THEM" image that you're forming in your minds. And I don't give a flip what the Rev. Al Sharpton is saying either. He's no Reverend of any Gospel I'm familiar with and I sure hope he sees this message.
I'm Latino (non-Mexican Latino) and I'm NOT voting for Obama either this time. I don't vote because democrats are helping dreamers. I want jobs, realists need JOBS.
Funny, but in my country, the USA, people are free to think for themselves and voice their opinion, if they choose to do so. I really don't understand the problem with this seemingly simple tweet in support of a presidential candidate. What's the problem? Oh, but this is America! This is a black woman voicing an opinion against a sitting president who is black! How outrageous can you get? (If this young woman was white, what would the reaction be, and why the difference, and what does that say about those voicing this reaction?)
Wow...her only hit movie was as a co-star in the movie Clueless. She wasn't even the star. Anyways, she's still one of the most beautiful people around, its a shame her career hasn't taken off. Its a bigger shame she had to disgrace her self just to get back in the lime light. Good luck Stacy...I'm still a big fan.
I agree. I'm a big Stacy fan since I saw her in Clueless. I was like... move the white girl aside, stop the presses WHO IS THAT!?
She should of been at least a bond girl, she's that beautiful. I love honey skinned women like her, just exotic beauty and brave and with a sense of humor. Man, we need more Stacy Dash!
I wonder if Paul Ryan mentioned that phone call to his wife?
These comments are just crazy!!! you people can't really be this stupid, Its so simple if you want real change vote for Romney if you want the same old welfare state and empty promises vote for Obama!!!
We vote for whom we think is the best candidate from our own personal point of view. If she chooses Mitt Romney, she has a right to do so, and people should respect that. It is interesting that people consider themselves respectful towards others, but their words and actions say otherwise.
Blacks hating whites for their color of their skin is just as racist as whites hating blacks. For me, I have no issue with Obama's race and I never will. I Stacy Dash actually quoted Dr. Martin Luther King in saying "I judge him by his character not by the color of his skin." Dr. King was right when he said that. I wish it were true for all mankind that people saw one another that way. The fact is we live in a broken and imperfect world and this lifelong problem may never be solved regardless of who is our president.
Can anyone imagine the uproar if a popular white person had said I am voting for Romney because he is white? We would have race riots all over. I guess living in glass houses is popular these days and people do not seem to care if they throw stones within them.
Alright everyone,,, she has the right to vote for whom ever she wants. As we all do. If she feels he has the best ideas to move us forward, she should vote for him. I will be voting for Obama because I believe he has the best ideas to move this country forward. Stop all the hate and just move on....
This is America and we have the right to vote for whom ever we please, she has that right. I'm an African American and I'm voting Republican. I did in 2008 and I will in 2012. Why, because the "party" stands for what I as an American believe and stand for, so if the canidate is white or black or hispanic for the Republican party then I will vote for that canidate. This is about the party not the person, the person is representing the party. Take time to research both parties, then you decide which party you feel best to support. It's just that simple.
stacey dash, mitt romney and the illuminati
burning in hell
After I looked at your playboy pictures, I think you should vote for BUSH!!!!
What a bunch of losers! So everybody us obliged to support Obama? The country is hurting and you people certainly living in your parents homes have the nerve to criticize her? She is free to choose Mitt. Obama is killing America, Obama does not deserve 4 more years. Obama will go. WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE MITT ROMNEY.
Stacey....This is Jim Bob, I saw you in a playboy magazine. WoW how could you support Romney with your legs open like that girl. Romney is a Mormon and he will not support you knowing that your legs were open like that. When you go to the voting poll make sure you keep your legs crossed

I think Stacey Dash should vote for whoever for whatever reason. The truth is, the country is in bad shape, but only because the President "IS NOT" getting the support from republicans, most likely because he is a black man. From the 1st day President Obama took office, the republicans loudly spoke to vote against him and they will make him a one term president. The phase, "TAKE BACK WHITE HOUSE" was born. Common sense should tell anyone, the President could not make the mess, that the country is in. Now, the country is in a down spin, there is no way the president is to blame. If you can see throught the craziness, the lies and what they represent, you couldn't vote for them. They are not for the middle class, it all. Stacey is not middle class.
Stacey Dash?
Who the heck are you? I've never heard of you, and will probably forget who you are soon enough.
I agree with many here. You are clawing at straws here. This is a pure publicity stunt, and you're hoping that your sagging career will somehow pick up because of this stunt.
My advice, get another line of work.
Good for her she should be allowed to voice her opinion without hate being thrown at her. All you "open minded" liberals out there that are bashing her tweet, you look like hypocrites now.
All you "open minded" liberals out there that are bashing her tweet, you look like hypocrites now.
Stacy is just being bullied by the arm-twisting liberals that are offended a that she didn't fall into the stereotype of what an African American woman should vote for in these times.
Liberals are bullies that insult, protest all up in your face when you state you don't agree with ho_mose_xuality, or don't vote for Obama, etc. etc.
They point the fingers at other but do worse themselves. Yes, I'm saying it as well, they are hypocrites.
As for Stacy... jeepers does she look goooOOOD! MmmmMMMmaamamamaaa!
I bet that dude that tweeted she was an old hag is part of the pink brigade. Woman hater.
Yo go Stacy! I want to see you wrapped up in our American flag, yeah!
Ms. Dash is very naive and uniformed to believe that the Romney-Ryan Platform will unite the nation and improve the economy.
Politics determines who gets what, when, where, and how. Our nation will never be 100% united because the greed of a few will prevent it. However, the masses of people can be united only when they understand that there interests will not be secured by candidates that secure the interests of the greedy few. Romney-Ryan represent the interests of the greedy few. The greedy few say "let them eat cake" and fend for themselves.
The Obama-Biden Administration have sown good seeds for the prosperity of our nation. The harvests are already being reaped and more harvests will be reaped in the future.
Our economic condition is the result of failed domestic and foreign policy sown during previous presidential administrations and congresses including the Reagan Administration.
One word of advice. Don't vote for candidates that secure the interests of the greedy few. The only jobs that they will create will be service related and won't include a living wage.
Wow! Who is this woman that anyone would care what she thought about your presidential race. Best guest they could get?
Stacey the movie you did "Clueless" fits you Perfect!
Stacy – you are one of the most beatiful of all God's creations, but you are a bit clueless. It's Ok though, Romney is doing a really good job of being a bit mis-leading. You are so unbelevably beatufil though.
This woman is completely uninformed and gave no credible reason for voting for MR/PR other than I liked him in an interview and that we need change. Not one position or policy that she agrees with on how they are going to make this change. Personally I think that what at first glance may look like a bump in her polls will ostracize her from what's left of her fans and those black film makes that give "C" level actresses roles. She is beautifully uninformed like much of the republican party!!!
Publicity Stunt... she needed to be noticed..
Paul said it best....she is clueless
This woman needs a job. Damn I use to like her. She is too fake, and needed her first 15 Mins in 20 years.
this goes to show that Romney Voters are truly clueless
I cannot believe the racism exhibited by black people on this topic, maybe this should be a wake up call to white and hispanic people in this country. Lets face it, Obama was elected out of guilt and charity of white people that felt a need to play Santa Clause to an orphan. Hopefully, this election people will actually watch the debates and finally see Obama for what he really is.......A JOKE!
to : joe mac
I don't know what country you live in but in America, this country do not vote for presidents because of sympathy and guild especially if the person is african-american. this country had slaves build the white house and racism will always remain but don't think for one second that President Obama was elected because people felt guilty or sympathy for him. I vote for a president that will better MY life and my families life. A man who has several accounts in other countries like the caymans with millions in them and want to give tax cuts to people making over a million a year does not benefit me working as a veterinary technician under $45, 000 a year.
Very appropriate that she was in the movie "Clueless" because she is indeed very clueless. Only an airhead would believe even one word that comes out of Romney's mouth.
I wouldn't even buy a new car from Romney, let a alone a used one.
"Let me hide my TAX returns from you, so you know you can trust me . . . . . .and so I don't have to explain why my IRA fund grew to a normally illegal $100,0000,000.
But this is an example of what I keep saying is that the entire 2012 Republican Party presidenal electon is ran on LIES. If you do not see this either you are STUPID or a LIAR yourself.
Jamie Foxx. Man leave that crazy ..... alone, she normal doesn't date brothers, its a reason why she wants to date you.....she's BROKE.....stay away from her....
She got the platform she was hoping for after a few years of wilderness. She is "clueless" no pun intended.
Give her credit for going against the grain. She is genuine and honest. Good for her in standing up for what she feels will help the country. Tell me what Obama has done to help the country? No budget, no major decrease in job unemployment rate , 4 billion a day debt and more... Why would anyone trust this man with another 4 years?
Dear Stacey Dash,
You're still fine...gorgeous (and, correct me if I'm wrong...but it's all real. no surgery).
BUT, I'm confused as to how you can support Romney...with ALL the access you have to objective statistics concerning the country. You don't seem like you're all beauty and no-brains. You're still relevant, so you MUST be smart and savvy to some degree. So why Romney? Does he provide you the promise of STAYING rich? Makes sense in that regard. But as for the rest of us NON-celebs who aren't set-for-life....are you thinking in terms of us? I don't know... I'm not assuming anything about your position and support for Romney. I'm just wondering...'what the heck are you thinking?" that's all.
She was in a movie called Clueless.
Stacey who???
Wow, I'm reading a lot of these posts by apparently black Americans, and it is sad to see racism is still thriving. Apparently, many blacks feel Stacey is selling out or being a female Uncle Tom by voting for Mitt Romney, insinuating that she should be voting for Obama because she is black...
Can you imagine if a white celebrity were to publicly say they are voting for Romney because he is white? The outrage! Well, Samuel Jackson and JayZ have done that! They both said they are voting for Obama because he is black. And apparently, based on these comments, it seems that the majority of the black community feels the same way.
With all the cries of racism by blacks against whites, understand that the majority of whites voted for Obama (which is why Obama won the election) and if he wins again this time, it will be by the white majority. However, ONE BLACK WOMAN votes Romney and the beating she is taking from the black community shows that things have gone full circle... now it is the blacks that are more racist than whites. Justified or not – that doesn't change the actual result... apparently from what I'm seeing here, blacks are more racist than whites.
I guess tolerance died. I'd like to know where it is written a black woman HAS to vote Democrat? People who are bashing her are hypcrites to the max.
Ok, you like him, then fine, but don't say you chose him based on his character. He's a lying machine who is constantly backtracking and changing positions. Obama has character. W has character. Romney, he blows like a leaf in the wind.
The "clueless" star has a right to support whomever she pleases (why Romney, I will never understand). With that said, why did she feel the need to tweet her support to the world? You don't tweet something and not expect people to respond. I'm inclining to agree with most that she is seeking attention and hoping this will jump start her career. Good luck with that Stacey, but just don't expect to star in any Tyler Perry movies. I believe he's an Obama supporter.
Mrs. Dash, I don't think you are playing with a full deck. Kind of like most people voting for Romney.
what would you expect, she's not too bright.
I had not heard of Ms. Dash prior to posting. As such, I cannot speak to her popularity or credibility as an actor.
I can, however, feel badly for her – and all the other supporters of Messrs. Romney & Ryan. Whether these followers are driven by racism, rage, or ignorance of fact, one cannot hope to have a shred of optimism if the Romney/Ryan ticket prevails in November.
As a life-long independent voter who has not missed an election since eligibility came to me as youth, I cannot get my brain around the concept of selecting Romney over Obama. The choice is clear, if only acknowledging the obvious arrogance, elitism and chameleon-like persona of Candidate Romney.How Ms. Dash can say the candidate and his spouse "spoke to her" is a sad testament to her values and objectivity.
There is no legitimate argument against a simple fact that a Romney presidency will set the general populous in a horrible place. Women will be thrust back to the 1950s or earlier. The dismantling of our lower and middle class structure will be destroyed.
Candidate Romney, and his running mate, are so transparent in their practice of violating the "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness" commandment. How? By opening their mouths and uttering words against the President and his Administration. They speak not one word of truth in there oral spewings.
No, the presidency for Candidate Romney is all about ego and power. The vice presidency for Candidate Ryan is a stepping stone to the presidency – for the same 2 reasons.
How very pitiful so many in our country will cut off their noses to spite their faces.
Stacey Dash obviously has the right to endorse whomever she wishes. And frustration with the present state of the country is certainly understandable. But it is crazy to think that Romney, whose administration and legislation will be controlled by the Tea Party Republicans, will be anything but backward and infinitelyworse than anything we can imagine.
I agree with those who assert that Stacey Dash has a right to support whomever she wishes. But there a distrubing pattern here. So many people often speak about the sad condition of this country. But for atleast 8 years, we prosecuted two wars at a cost of billions of dollars per month. The Republicans ran up an astounding defecit under Bush. And somehow everyone expects issues that truly began in the past several presidential admininistrations to diminish in four years under Obama.
Stacey's issue is bigger than Mitt Romney or the economy(for which she and Mitt Romney are both benefitting from). She has never married an African American(her option but it is curious) although she has married several white men and star in shows and sitcoms focused on popular African American culture. So Black people feel let down that she can rise to stardom by exploiting their culture. yet encourage us to vote for a man who was for abortion before he was against, for discrimination against 47% of the country before he was against, for universal healthcare before he was against it. Just my two cents worth.
It is not shocking that most actresses and actors support a president canidate who wants to tax people making over a million dollars a year very little. However i know of Stacy Dash and her movies/tv she is barely hitting that figure because she is a bad actress. i rather here an opinion of the average working class people then her. Again, she could have kept her voting choice to her self and focus more on her failing career. If she don't focus on her sadly failing career, she will need Obama when she is asking people " do you want fries with that?
I have one more comment. How can those who make less than $100,000 a year(single) or $250,000(married) vote for someone who is so out of touch that he thinks that if you are not wealthy, then you are a smooch(47%ers). So all of you SUV and minivan(all Mitt Romney supporters seem to drive SUVs and Minivans) suburbanites shiould check yourdslf. Or your bank account first before saying you support Willard Mitchell Romney.
@ Tragic Mullatto – So, according to you, Stacy Dash's problem, which is "bigger than Mitt Romney, bigger than the economy" is that she never married a black man?? And black people feel exploited by her because she stared in black shows? You and these other people need to get past your racist ways you'll never think clearly and you will never better yourself. Stacy Dash doesn't owe you – or anyone else – SQUAT. She's a free agent. Responsible for her own choices in life. Maybe you and your people should look up to her instead of trying to hold her back.
First of all, don't know her, don't care what her opinion is about anything. Second, no matter how bad the economy is, any reasonably well known person of color has a career waiting for them as a shill for the Republican Party. Second, the only reason this is a news story is because she is a member of the 0% of blacks that support Romney. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that statistically speaking the United States is more polarized than at any other time since the Civil War.
I thing she does what is right for her. Also thing , some times, most of black people and hispanics are their self more racist than white people. Can't believe is this happen on 2012. Sad but true. I'm hispanic.
I don't know how anybody can forget the party of NO who said from day one that their main objective was to make sure President Obama only served one term and stood in the way of every polcy to achieve that goal. Sorry for them that he was able to turn this country around without their help. How any woman, much less a black woman could vote for these fools is beyond me. They want to set women back a hundred years. Mitt is only moving to the center to get more votes. Don't believe it. The Tea Party is still in control. Obama/Biden2012
all i know about Stacy Dash is that she has an amazing back side. I'd totally toss her salad.
She is a flip/flopper just like Romney. That's all.
What baffles me more than anything is how a Woman could actually vote for a Conservative.
-They were against the Woman's right to Vote
-They are against a Woman's right to choose.
-They are against Equal Pay for Women
-They tried blocking Violence Against Women Act
A woman voting for a Republican is like asking a Fox to look after you and your chicks.
This chick could not have thought that her supporting Romney wouldn't launch her into national recognition....I mean, really. And the mere fact that she went on Morgan's show, is all the proof we need..
I have no problem whatsoever with Stacey voting for Romney...but I do take issue with her trying to convince us that she didnt see the vitriol coming her way....especially, from the black community. Many of whom, have a very difficult time accepting that she's half black...so, of course, she's gonna be called a sell out and an "Aunt Tom"
if she didnt anticipate reading posts like that, she's as dumb a a bag of hammers. And I really dont think she is. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing, in light of being fired from "Single Ladies"
hey, she needs a job just like a lot of people out here, right?..and what excludes her from being as desperate as the rest of those looking for work?
I agree with stacey Dash. According tti my reasearch Romney hasnt lied but Obama has. Drilling & production of oil . Gas price not effecting thr economy heck thats the reason the economy is bad now. Check and see evertime the fuel gose up the economy gose down and companies reduce jobs.
Now I remember where I saw Stacy Dash at before. She gave an interview in which she said ,she had the bad habit of jupming into bed with guys on their first date and had to break that habit. So why would anyone care who she supports in the upcoming election? Ho!
You are really a just right webmaster. The website loading velocity is amazing. It sort of feels that you're doing any distinctive trick. Also, The contents are masterpiece. you have done a excellent process in this subject!
Could Dash really be that stupid or is he looking for 15 minutes of television? He is an embarrassment to the Senate and the state of Tennessee. A subject of ridicule. Sic em him Jon Stewart.
what an ignorant jerk! an embarrassment to the Senate, state of Tennessee and a subject of ridicule.
Constantly a pleasure to read your material, seems you really do have an ability for developing fantastic content!

The violin played by the bandmaster of the Titanic as the oceanliner sank has been unearthed, a British auction house said Friday.
Survivors of the Titanic have said they remember the band, led by Wallace Hartley, playing on deck even as passengers boarded lifeboats after the ship hit an iceberg.
Hartley's violin was believed lost in the 1912 disaster, but auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son say an instrument unearthed in 2006 and has undergone rigorous testing and proven to be Hartley's.
U.S. & World
"It's been a long haul," said auctioneer Andrew Aldridge, explaining the find had initially seemed "too good to be true."
The auction house spent the past seven years and thousands of pounds determining the water-stained violin's origins, consulting numerous experts including government forensic scientists and Oxford University.
The auction house said the rose wood instrument has two long cracks on its body, but is "incredibly well-preserved" despite its age and exposure to the sea. It estimated the violin is worth six figures.
Hartley was one of the 1,517 people who perished when the Titanic struck an iceberg 350 miles (565 kilometers) south of Newfoundland on April 15, 1912.
Some reports at the time suggested Hartley's corpse was found fully dressed with his instrument strapped to his body, though there was also speculation the violin floated off and was lost at sea.
Henry Aldridge and Son said it researched the violin's story with a Hartley biographer as the instrument underwent forensic testing, uncovering documents that showed Hartley was found with a large leather valise strapped to him and the violin inside.
The violin apparently was returned to Hartley's grieving fiancée, the auction house said, and later ended up in the hands of the Salvation Army before being given to a violin teacher and ultimately Henry Aldridge & Son.
Testing by the U.K. Forensic Science Service showed corrosion deposits were considered "compatible with immersion in sea water," while a silver expert studied a plate on the violin's neck to determine if it fit the time profile.
Henry Aldridge & Son said the violin will not be auctioned off. Instead, it will go on public display at the end of the month at Belfast City Hall, less than a mile from where Titanic was built. The instrument could also someday be on exhibit in New York City, the auctioneers said.
Although the violin is not for sale, Henry Aldridge and Son will hold an auction in April where other Titanic items like a cigarette case, a signet ring and a collar will be sold.
