Before you vote, vet the candidate, then vote

A couple of days ago an actress who was part of a TV show called "Clueless" some years ago showed herself to be anything but clueless in "doing her homework" in researching the views and accomplishments of the Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney.  Having thus vetted him and finding him to be the candidate she believed would bring the country back from the terrible state of economic chaos at present, to a country of prosperity once again, she tweeted online her intention to vote for Mitt Romney.

Immediately she was hit with countless hate-filled responses containing the most vile depictions of herself as a person, that she might as well just kill herself, and accusing her of being a traitor to her race.

Shocked but not angered, Stacey Dash, a beautiful, intelligent, articulate and knowledgable black woman, responded in a way that illustrated her courage, her sterling character and especially her love of country.  Having voted for Obama in 2008, she was not blind to the fact that he promised a lot but did not deliver on those promises.  She wants something better.

She has trust in Romney to deliver what he promises.  Voting for a candidate just because of similar skin color is not a good thing; a candidate must do what is good for the country.  Stacey holds firmly to  her first amendment right of free speech, to her grasp of the constitution as the guarantor of her rights, and she believes that all Americans, regardless of race, are really a united people.  A patriot.  An American.  A believer in the American dream.  An example for all of us Americans.

Here she is in a TV interview.  I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Stacey.
