She scored points with me when she accepted Sgt. Scott Moore’s invitation to the Marine Corps Ball, but, with her recent comments to the U.K.’s “Stylist” magazine, she lost that clout.
“I love Barack Obama, I voted for him and I will forever be proud of my vote,” she said, before defending his performance during the debt ceiling debate. “I know that he [Obama] tried. I know because you keep reading these reports of him trying to compromise with the Tea Party and the Republican Party and trying to come to a 50/50 agreement. I don’t think it was one. I feel the Democratic Party compromised everything and the Republican Party compromised pretty much nothing.”
Clearly, “these reports” she’s referring to came from limited sources. She’d've read a far different rendering of the debt drama if she had clicked on Hot Air a time or two.
But what really got my goat was the way she bashed Middle America. In a sequence of remarks in which she lamented the general lack of political knowledge among young people — and encouraged young voters to educate themselves simply by reading (a laudable sentiment) — she suggested folks in flyover country are less aware than those on the coasts.
She chided the younger generation for not reading books, the news, the paper, and then zoned in on “Middle America.” “So obviously you are incredibly ill-informed to the point where they will go do these tests in Middle America… And they’ll ask, ‘OK, what party are you?’ And they’ll say, ‘Republican.’ ‘Why?’ And they can’t even tell you. They have no idea what the Republican Party stands for. Why did I vote for Obama? I can tell you why I voted for him, what I agreed and disagreed with him on, for hours.”
Her advice for the youth of today: “Whoever you vote for, don’t do it just because. And don’t tell me it’s because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself.”
I’ve been searching for these “tests” she refers to, but I’m having little success finding them. Still — let’s say Kunis is right and Middle America is less plugged into the national and international political scene than the coasts. I’d buy that for several reasons — the news media is concentrated on the coasts, the nation’s capital is on the East Coast and international travel is easier from the coasts. But, if that is true, in my observation, it’s at least as much because residents of “the rest of the country” are busy running businesses, raising families and going to church on Sunday as it is because they’re apathetic, as Kunis implies. But then, in Kunis’ opinion, religion is “knocked completely out the window” (by what she doesn’t say), so maybe the faithful should spend Sundays watching talk shows instead of listening to homilies to earn her esteem.
Additionally, anecdotally, I’ve met far more Southerners who’ve ventured to visit major cities on the seaboard than I’ve met coasters who’ve ventured to visit major cities in the Midwest and South. All of this is to say: the so-called “D.C. disconnect” probably does exist — but the disconnect goes both ways. That’s one reason I applauded House leadership’s decision to allow representatives more time in their home districts. Kunis might want to take her own advice and educate herself about what Middle America — and the Tea Party — actually stands for before she dismisses it out of hand.
Mila Kunis admits she’s a racist - she voted for 0bama’s melanin.

Hint to Mila....it is not wise to insult people who may want to see your movies.The people who made you can take you down rather quickly.
I agree with you 100%. Dumb broad is right and as a lady it made me laugh that you beat me to saying myself. When it fits it Just fits.
EHHHHH! She’s cute, but I like the long geared redhead a lot better!
yummy
BHO = Barack Hussein Obama
in the richard dryfus movie “higgindorf’s tribe” where the premise is about a professor who fakes a tribe and then discovers it. (sort of all those so called isolated tribes that are found out to be fakes regarding isolation.)
anywhays,
in one scened she is the girl in the box about to be urinated upon as a part of the fertility rights of the fake tribe.
seems she is still volunteering about fakery.
The only one who had those kids right was the father who kept calling them “dumba**”.
She (Kunis) does have some beautiful eyes.
Not guilty by reason of insanity.
Wow....
Shes a Russian Jew, as a matter of fact.
I think the redhead, Laura Prepon, is in fact NOT a demo.
She is as dumb as a bag of rocks. She is clinging to her false god because she doesnt have the sense to see he lead the country down the crap-hole.
Just goes to show that brains and beauty dont always go together.
Is she a citizen of the US?
