Clint Eastwood's Daughter Francesca Is Not Voting For Mitt Romney

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/19/clint-eastwood-daughter-mitt-romney_n_1987067.html

Clint Eastwood may be Mitt Romney's most famous supporter, but his daughter isn't following in her father's footsteps.

TMZ caught up with the actress and model and asked her if she shared Clint's political views. "I happen to be voting for a different man," she said. "But I love that he stands up for what he believes in."

Barack Obama also recently mentioned the elder Eastwood, jokingly telling guests at last night's Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner to take their seats, "or else Clint Eastwood will yell at them."

The quip was a reference to Eastwood's speech at the Republican National Convention, where the actor berated an empty chair that he pretended was occupied by Obama. The moment was widely mocked and even taken as a sign of a derailed Romney campaign, though Obama would go on to say he is a big fan of the actor and didn't take it personally.

Clint Eastwood isn't a conservative. He is more like a Libertarian. Look at his views on social issues. I think Clint just went with the Dirty part of Mitt Romney's character. Look at what he said after the Convention. He essentially called Romney dumb for letting him speak. Eastwood has voted for Liberals and Conservatives. He wouldn't fit in with religious conservatives either. Mitt was going to cut Clint's taxes too.

His fake statements on 'social issues' are just part of his promotion of himself in and to the film business, Clint being honest Clint could not get the talent he wants to hire to work for him. Example? To please DiCaprio, his Hoover, Clint said positive things about marriage equality and dissed the Republicans as idiots, as soon as that film was finished selling, Clint rushed to endorse the most anti gay slate of candidates in the history of the country. Clint fits in well with religious conservatives, he's married and divorced often, as they do, and he's a hypocrite about it all, just like they are. Religious conservatives do NOT care about their religion, not at all, they are all voting for Mitt who denies the basic tenents of their faith, and that proves they will vote for a guy who says the Virgin Mary was just some trollop that got knocked up like so many others, by her boyfriend.
So like Clint, the 'religious conservatives' say anything and do anything to get their money and to elect Republicans.

and mocked their anti gay policies as 'bullshit' then he turns around and gives that endorsment to the anti gay candidate and Party.
Clint stands up for one thing one day, the next he stands up for the oppoiste, an inconsistent and craven bit of self interest, that's Clint. Too bad Francesca is afraid to speak the truth about her Dad the liar.

I love my Dad but dislike his views immensely. I do laugh that I ended up a fierce liberal in the family when both my parents are conservative.
