Yep, well said.Good for her for being honest about what she believes. When celebrities publicly support Democratic candidates such as Obama, they often get praised for it. You don't see many people saying that they're stupid or that they should keep their opinions to themselves.
But when a celebrity endorses a Republican, he or she gets blasted. That's why many of the Republican celebrities aren't as vocal about it as the liberals. Respect for being a politically active celebrity doesn't go both ways.
I understand why Angie and many other celebrities who are in the top income bracket may find the Republican positions on taxes and other issues appealing. I vote Republican because I feel that I personally benefit more from their policies than Democratic ones, and I respect other people's right to vote for a candidate, Republican or Democrat, whose platform they feel is most beneficial to them. Voting based on what you believe and what you support is not stupid, and I also don't think it's stupid to have beliefs that other people may not necessarily agree with.
