It took Stacey Dash exactly 1,344 words to sum up her outlook on the 2012 presidential election, in which her candidate of choice, GOP nominee Mitt Romney, conceded yesterday.
STORY: Stacey Dash Slammed On Twitter For Supporting Mitt Romney!
Last month, the gorgeous actress caused a stir when she announced that she was not supporting President Obama’s re-election bid. The Clueless star’s momentary attention blitz then swirled around the CNN interview she did on Piers Morgan Tonight, where she defended her conservative political views.
She also didn’t take it lightly that Barack Obama has been declared the sitting president for the next four years. The former Single Lady published a lengthy letter explaining exactly how she feels about both Romney and Obama, the election results, and her reaction towards people who made racially derogatory sneers about her political views.
She wrote:
At the end of the day we are in this together. This is Our American Family. I do not want to be a part of the hateful voices insulting each other. I want to be a part of the voices that helps shape the future. Don’t you? Perhaps I publically [sic] endorsed Romney from a slightly naive place, thinking that I could speak my voice without being criticized in such racially charged and hateful tones.
People get it wrong. My vote for Romney isn’t a vote against Obama. That’s not how full participants in the democratic process operate. We vote for candidates and we vote for issues.
I’ve been fortunate enough in my career to have earned a considerable income. I am a fiscal conservative. I like the simplicity of the plan to lower taxes. I feel I’ve paid out a substantial amount over the 20 plus years I’ve been working. I’m also a woman. And as a single Mother who happens to be half-Bajan and half-Mexican, I have concerns, which cover many topics and issues…
I also don’t understand why more people aren’t acknowledging the good that has come about thanks to Romney’s Massachusetts medical coverage for all citizens. In addition, Romney’s business acumen is sterling. Our country needs a savvy business manager with the ability to work on both sides of the aisle. Paul Ryan is another brilliant mind with a viable plan for the economy of this country. They’ve injected so much energy into the race. We need that ambition and focus to get our country back on its feet…
In the event that Obama is re-elected I expect them to work a whole lot harder to bridge the divide between political parties, end the gridlock and get America back to work! Welfare reform is also in order. An elderly woman stands in the same grocery line pinching pennies to buy a can of soup while a woman is buying marshmallow fluff with food stamps. As times have changed, welfare policy needs to keep stride, just like every other issue.
