*Some no doubt think Stacey Dash is “clueless” for being in Mitt Romney’s camp, but she’s not backing down.
Trying to stem backlash against her because she’s down with Romney for president, the actress appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan” show Tuesday night to defend herself.
“I want the next four years to be different,” said Dash. “When I watched the governor and his wife on Meet the Press with David Gregory, they spoke to me and they seemed authentic and genuine about what they said about this country about the need for us to be united and move forward.”
As we reported, Dash, the former star of TV’s “Single Ladies” and the film “Clueless,” sent out a tweet in support of Romney, saying: “Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future. @MittRomney @TeamRomney #mittromney #VOTE #voteromney pic.twitter.com/9HFUhWul“
Needless to say, the response was immediate and not too kind. In other words, not a good PR move on the part of Dash.

Her fans and followers let her know in no uncertain terms how they felt about her decision to back Romney.
“Still Clueless,” is what one upset follower wrote, to no one’s surprise.
This tweet said: “You’re an unemployed black woman endorsing @MittRomney. You’re voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot.”
Dash told Piers Morgan that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan personally reached out to thank her for her support.
“He said thank you so much for your support, and that I was brave and that they support me and I thought that was so generous and kind, lovely,” said Dash.
The actress went on to paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in rationalizing her support of Romney, saying in effect: “not by the color of his skin but the content of his character.”
Well, she TOTALLY accomplished her goal to get some air time on TV…I bet you my paycheck for the next year, she is “clueless” about who and WTF Romney and Ryan stand for…but what better way to free exposure to try land some acting gigs that just don’t seem to be coming her way…you can’t knock her hustle. Hoes gotta eat too…
Co-sign. Also, Blacks have to remember that everyone they embrace as ‘Black’ do not identify as such. That being said she can vote as she sees fit.
Paul Ryan personally reached out to her? We all know he likes his chocolate, dark or au’lait.
I don’t think that Stacey needs to defend her position her support if Romney as she can support who she wants. I would like to hear her reasons for doing so as I don’t think that Mitt has Stacey’s best interest in mind and I wonder if she realizes that.
girl, i see why they got you off single lady it was bush who mess this country up and you want to vote for his cousin mitt, you are one sick old ass women i ever seem in my whole life. you need to get some help to many white men on had that old dry up cookie. i will not watch nothing on movie or tv with your face on it , God be with Obama in Jesus Name Amen.
I love Stacey–but let’s face it, and i don’t intend any meanness here…but she is not known for her IQ — she’s beautiful, an actress, charming and all the rest, but it is after all American people and we can vote for whomever we want–freedom of speech and all that — I just say when Romney fks up she better not complain…not One Dam Word! …
Black people and their ignorance.
She can vote for whomever she chooses and chances are, her station in life will not change under a PResident Romney.
negative…its you and your ass-holicness….
LMAO! I got here at the right time!
She has the right to vote for whomever she wants. She may also voice her opinion to do so. Mitt Romney won’t win this election or the next so I am not going to worry about what her life would be like under his governance and that’s MY OPINION.
She can vote for anybody she wants to. It’s a free country. That being said….
She got fired from a show, her singing career hasn’t taken off the way she hoped and she showed her ass to playboy (which also bombed). Of course, all of this free publicity is to jump start whichever her endeavors flopped in the past. I don’t know why folks are getting worked up over her choice though, I think her Dr. King comments are really stupid. Other than that, she’s a non-mfing factor and she really doesn’t not deserve all this attention.
Come on NYC, you sorta surprised me here.
Why is it not possible that she is a republican?
She could be, mus. That’s why I said it’s a free country. She can be or do what she wants.
However, this does not mean that she didn’t do this for attention either. It’s the same way when a bunch of celebrities have expensive dinners to dine with the President. They are getting something out of the deal. Dash is no different, IMO.
@ NYCsoul, And that sums it up…LMAO
This is ALL the “village idiot” wanted…..”attention”. Just a fkn SHAME she sold out “THIS” hard, to get it! Like I said yesterday …..”this B bedda have a “space shuttle” all picked out!!!! SSMGDHATB!!!
She’s not the only Black voting for Romney and she has the right to vote for anybody…its her choice but I really don’t think she is truly interested in Romney or perhaps Obama. She is known to be an attention seeking whore whose trying to garner some attention. Let’s face it, she is a no alphabet list actress who can’t act but known for her beauty and no one wants to hire her because of her bad attitude…so she has to do something to remain relevant. This was her opportunity but unfortunately it won’t get her any brownie points in Tinseltown.
“Let’s face it, she is a no alphabet list actress who can’t act but known for her beauty and no one wants to hire her because of her bad attitude.”
Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone. You got that right!
Why are we still talking about someone who made what one movie and got fired off a TV show that is getting great rating???? Nobody cares who this clown does or does not vote for. She probably is not even registered to vote LOL!!!!!!!
And….lets be real, here…..if it were between “TWO” decent candidates?…”ok”! But We ALL know that between the two?, there’s only…one & ONE only intelligent choice for ALL people, & ESPECIALLY if you’re a person of…color! This election is the “tipping point” of this country!!, so ANYone voting for the one who wants to eliminate all that MADE this country (except racism/slavery!, wink!) is a fkn fool!! This time around?, we don’t haaaaave the luxury of “free expression”, b/c if you vote for Mit?, “this” WILL BE the last time you HAVE “free expression”!!!! So the reason peeps are goin hard ‘on this dizzy hoe?, ain’t got shyt to do with nothing else but her OBVIOUS “tommin” &…..ignorance! PERIOD!! Chuuuuuuch/All Day/Beleeeeedat!!!
Listening to her reminds me of one of those “low information” voters that I have often heard about…..
Now I understand why it was so EASY for so MANY to…. “hit it”! Nigs walkin up sayin shyt like…”I like that perfume you got ‘on. it makes you look….young”! STUoid “B”!!!!!! But?,… I digress. Sigh.
“When I watched the governor and his wife on Meet the Press with David Gregory, they spoke to me and they seemed authentic and genuine…”
So what your are saying then is that you are voting for him because your are too clueless to realize that Mitt and his bitch are full of shit?
Hmmm…. Just like the swing voters who ate up his bullshit after the debate.
And then you bring your dumb ass on TV even though you can’t articulate any of his polices, except that theyseemed authentic?!
Wow! You couldn’t provide a better metaphor for clueless.
And why that piece a shit Piers Morgan didn’t ask her how can she trust Mitt and his bitch when they are hiding their money in off shore accounts? The man says that my job is not to worry about 47% of the population, and you still believe him when he talks about “the need for us to be united and move forward.”
The people supporting this woman’s choice need to get a clue. The reason why this woman is catching so much flak is not because she is voting for the Republicans. But because she is so dumb that she is going to vote for someone even though she doesn’t have a clue what he stands for. But then again, she’s no worse than the swing/clueless voters who now put him in the lead. And these are actually the people who determine the outcome of an election.
Well REDs, you’ve left us the best possible example of how silly and ridiculous and toxic the country has gotten. You have the nerve to go in on this woman for decisions..believing that she’s too dumb to know what she’s talking about. Yet, you call Mitt Romney’s wife a bytch?
It’s official. You have absolutely zero room to talk about the “clueless” american voter. none at all.
Not only that…she’s a sneering, smug azz b*tch!
I imagine she would say the same about you. Oh ye stupid MelodyCool who is too often preoccupied w/interracial thoughts.
Sit yo dumb azz down. Idiot.
Melody, and how many times does he think she referred to Michelle and Barack as Bs and Ns?
I guess he forgetting that we talking about a Mormon. Someone who believes that people looking like him are “cursed.” Their endorsing of blacks nowadays are nothing more than Romney’s flip flops. It’s in his DNA as a Mormon.
A Mormon would never swing like a demon against their own for Blacks holding the beliefs we all know. I’m convinced he’s merely shilling and putting on a show for his Becky knowing she prowls this site to keep an eye on her sambo ‘MittWit’.
“believing that she’s too dumb to know what she’s talking about.”
I don’t believe. She admitted as much. “They seemed genuine”, but yet she can’t list one genuine thing that Mitt has done.
How on earth can she believe he ‘seems genuine’ after that leaked video recording??? Folks need to read up on how nasty and dirty he was as governor of MA. Unless you’re like him…there’s no way of connecting on a human level period.
And now we see how dumb you are too.
How can you “know” anything about someone you’ve never met. You likely never met Ron Paul as day in your life. Yet when he was running, you used every opportunity here to attack those who were “dumb” enough to vote for Obama and not consider Ron Paul. You were on the Ron Paul bandwagon and thought he should be president.
Give me a frkn break. You have some nerve criticizing her for belief that someone she never met “seemed” genuine and you were the nappy hairball on Paul’s nutsack…never having met him either.
I swear, the logic some of ya’ll is stupid
“How can you “know” anything about someone you’ve never met.”
How many people have ever met the politician they voted for? You judge people on their record and not what they flip to say to for votes.
I know it may have been news to a lot of people when Ron Paul came out in the last primary and said the criminal justice system is racist and he would abolish the war on drugs, but there are recorded evidence of him saying that for years. Ron Paul also has a record of being consistent. He is not a flip flopper and everybody knows that you can take him at his word. He doesn’t say something just for votes only to change later when he is elected.
I truly think this was a publicity plot to gain exposure. Remember, she was let go from the series: Single Ladies and they just released the 20 years anniversary of the film, Clueless. She has to do something to stay relevant at this time. With black thespians hardly hitting the screen in Holly-Weird – this fool sends us back another 40 plus years! Yes, she is entitled to her opinions and can endorse whomever she chooses, but, I bet this starving actress isn’t hitting Mitt and company to call a few Top agents to endorse her stagnant career? Could you please tell me when was the last time we as a nation has witness Mitt doing something for others, albeit blacks, Hispanics, low-class whites? The man is totally for the UBER-RICH… nothing more or less will do! What a stupid fool she is to not even have her facts right and go on this program and basically debase her intellect or lack of!!! Stick with what you know and that’s acting in mediocre films!!!
Referring to his flip flops…here’s the caption of today’s cartoon: ‘If you don’t like his politics, just wait a few minutes.’
She also quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and said that she is backing Romney “not by the color of his skin but the content of his character.”
Not sure what “content” Dash found in Romney’s “character” besides repeatedly lying, contempt for working people and working to undermine a women’s right to choose what to do with her own body. Keep telling yourself that, hun.
