Romney is expected to be named the official Republican Party presidential candidate at its convention on August 12, pitting him against incumbent President Barack Obama for the 2012 election.

But Cher has made it clear she won't be voting for the Republican when Americans go to the polls on November 12, because she strongly disagrees with his conservative views on immigration, same-sex marriage and abortion.

She tweeted, "If ROMNEY gets elected I don't know if i can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters (sic)."
