Romney Just Got Another Endorsement From a Popular Hollywood Actress — See Which One

Oct. 12, 2012 8:50am Billy Hallowell

Lindsay Lohan Endorses Republican Candidate Mitt Romney

When it comes to Hollywood endorsements, Republicans usually have to take what they can get. The big names generally tend to swing left-of-center, as Tinseltown’s elite regularly host fundraisers and head out on the campaign trail in support of Democratic candidates.

This electoral cycle is no different, however it appears that a few, more prevalent actors and performers are stepping up to the plate to endorse GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Clint Eastwood, Stacey Dash, and now — Lindsay Lohan.

Despite recently getting into an alleged altercation with a Republican congressional staffer, Lohan is anything but turned off by the Grand Old Party’s messaging.

While she openly supported President Barack Obama in 2008, Lohan is changing teams. At the center of her decision to select the Republican nominee over the Democratic incumbent? Unemployment.

“I just think employment is really important right now,” the troubled star told E!, while at Mr. Pink’s Ginseng Drink event in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday. “So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.”

Last month, during Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech, Lohan tweeted the president, about the need to cut taxes for “those that are listed on Forbes as ‘millionaires.’”

Lindsay Lohan Endorses Republican Candidate Mitt Romney

“If they are not, you must consider that as well,” Lohan continued in the same social media message.

The message, which was hard to decipher, was subsequently deleted from her feed, although TheBlaze noted that she kept a number of other political tweets up, including one that included a link to contribute to Obama’s campaign.

It seems that the starlet’s opinions — at least for now — have changed. In 2008, Lohan offered to stump for Obama, but the campaign allegedly turned her down. At the time, it was suspected that the actress was in a same-sex relationship, which purportedly led her to make numerous claims against then vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and the Republican Party.

  Only a senile actor arguing with a chair, a “clueless” actress and the a actress with a drug and alcohol problem publicly support Mittens and Lyin’ Ryan. Says a lot about the BS Mountain they are attempting to sell the American people.

  Nope, it’s more like ,” with friends like that, who needs enemies.” I wonder if she’s doing that to make others think maybe there’s something wrong with Mit. If She likes him maybe he’s not all that bad. He’s for traditional marriage, she’s a lesbian or at least bi, and doesn’t fit into his circle. Almost the same as Hugo endorsing Barack. WRONG……

Why didn’t Beck get on this? If there was any validity wouldn’t Beck have been the one with the courage to present all the evidence to the America people? What about Brietbart?

  liberals seem far more concerned with the opinions of actors and actresses.
  not sure why but it certainly seems that way based on people I know and work with.
  As they are also more likely to live the party till you puke lifestyle of Lohan,
  it os not beyond the realm of possibility that her opinion could influence them.
  
  Hopefully more will jump ship.
  
  And it has long been said that in Hollywood only the MOST famous celebs can claim to be conservatives and still get work.
  
  I’m sure many others would love to join her but can’t afford to be out of work…

Another fissure appears in Hollywood’s blind devotion to obama.

This indicates how there is an undercurrent, even in Hollywood, that obama has failed and it is becoming acceptable to openly NOT support obama.

I didn’t even know LL was out of jail this week, she’s in and out so often. Why is her endorsement of Romney deemed newsworthy? Is this an endorsement that has the possibility of changing the election? If this twit’s endorsement had been for Obama, those here would have been on it like flies on what the WH spreads. The reaction here would have been to the effect of: “So what? Who cares what a drug-addled alcoholic from Hollywood thinks?” That’s pretty much my reaction to ANYTHING said by any number of celebrities.

Yeah, right. She hadn’t been in the news for a few days, so she had to pick something ridiculous to say to attract attention. Next week she’ll make the news again when she switches her support back to Obama. Of course why her endorsement is news at all is a mystery. Who cares?

  As a Christian I am willing to listen others and what they have done in their personal life (as long as just has been served, and it has) then that is between them and their God. Not for me to judge. It is possible that as she gets older and hopefully wiser that her views are changing, it happens to many people when reality hits them. So as of now, I am happy that another person from hollywood has endorsed Mitt. I am hoping that others will too, it can only help us.
  
  I’m just glad that Hugo and Putin haven’t endorsed us. :)

  There is another story on the Blaze about a girl taking her life over bullying, the same thing SocialistSlayer and virtually every single one of the people posting on this story are doing to this young girl right now. Trash all of you. This is a young girl who has been under pressure none of you could have withstood being forced into acting by parents with only one goal. Make their daughter from a very young age slave away acting, bringing in the money so they could squander Her earnings living large with no remorse at all. They are typically sad examples of what parents should be, robbing her of Her precious childhood subjecting Her to the vileness that is Hollywood. Between those bad influences and that of Her parents it’s a miracle she survived at all. From very early years being subjected to the nightmare that is Hollywood, the media, Disney and many more entities all desiring to get everything they could from a child who had not even begun Her childhood. The compassion I see from all of you makes me sick. None of you could have withstood the pressure forced on this girl as well as she has. She is a daughter of this nation and should be treated with compassion, respect, and love. She should be helped, not bullied, demonized, insulted, and despised. This nation is slipping into darkness and all of you demonizing this girl who is at least trying are the very destroyers of Americas soul, and your own as well.

  I’m certainly no tax expert, just a middle class guy that is paying too much for people that do nothing or expend all of their energy avoiding work, but thats what I see and people are too ignorant to realize that.
  All I know is my getting to work has more then doubled (making return on investment a real joke) and insuring my family has gotten alot more prohibitive. And who the heck wants to eat any way? It’s more important to burn our food and make electric prices much higher! (who wants to stay warm anyway)

  STATUTORYAPE, Just how much of a rebel are you then? High on drugs and booze most of the time? Out of control and especially when behind the wheel of a potential deadly weapon? And, I don’t mean like James Dean racing around quiet roads with next to no traffic. I mean the crowded roads and parking lots where she tends to run into pedestrians, other vehicles, or just simply runs off the road but still causing damage. Your parents must be so proud.
  Take look at this site that lists many of her legal problems, and rehab relapses. Also take a long hard look at the photo at the top. Just how young is she actully? Notice the liver spots already forming on the backs of her hands? Rather indicative of the damage she has already done to her young body.

  I had my wild years with drugs and alcohol and did some crazy stuff but then grew out of it and moved on. So I feel like I can relate to Lohan in that regard. So what if she messes up – she goes to rehab and jail and does her time. Unless you’ve been in situations like Lohan, then you’ll probably never get it. Again, it’s just the old baby boomers hating on the younger generation. BTW, Thanks for handing us in the younger generation a country in ruins.

  I’m of the geriatric generation. what in the world would make you think we would hate the “younger generation, when we have members of your generation ourselves?
  
  We LOVE you, for many reasons, one of them being that you will be left to carry on when we’re gone. My personal frustration with “the younger generation” is not with their ignorance; ignorance can be fixed. It is with STUPIDITY, which my long years have taught me takes a LONG time to fix, IF and WHEN possible. But we LOVE you.
  
  There is not much time left for our Country, to tolerate stupidity. Be of good cheer, young man. Your parents are “geriatrics”, too. LOL!
