The first "American Idol" has announced who she wants to be the next American president. Her choice isn't helping her approval ratings.
"I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance," Kelly Clarkson wrote on Twitter and WhoSay on Wednesday. "If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't."
Like Paul, Clarkson hails from Texas. And like Paul, Clarkson is a fan of limited government. But given her status as a pop star, she caught a lot of criticism from fans who were enraged over Clarkson's endorsement amidst the ongoing controversy over racist and phobic newsletters that were sent out under Paul's name in the 80s.
Addressing the criticism, Clarkson later tweeted:
"I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women's rights, men's rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all of the Republican nominees, he's my favorite."
Clarkson later told an angry Twitter follower that "I have never heard that he's a racist? I definitely don't agree with racism, that's ignorant." She told another that, "I love all people and could care less if you like men or women. I have never heard that Ron Paul is a racist or phobe?"
The pop star continued her defense, saying: "Man my eyes have been opened to so much hate tonight. If y'all ever disagree with something I say please don't feel the need to attack me. I will listen to what you say and any articles or viewpoints you have when you say it with respect. Being hateful is not a healthy way to get people to see or hear you. I was raised to respect people and their decisions and beliefs and I hope you will grant me the same decency. If you don't agree with me simply unfollow me. It's really that easy. I hope you don't because I would love the chance to hear what you have to say but if you're so blinded by hate you can't seek peace and progress then that is your unfortunate prerogative."
Clarkson told a fan that she is a Republican but voted Democrat in 2008. Clarkson performed at a July 4th gala for President Obama and First Lady Michele Obama in 2010.
~~Yeah, not real important political news but.....Aaah....Kelly Clarkson!!!!
she's fat
I wish that entertainers kept there political views private, whatever she had left is pretty much history now after this!

Meh, they have a right to speak out. , Matt Damon, Cindy Crawford and other Obama supporters are lashing out against him now. IT happens.
As much as I hate Kelly Clarkson and pretty much everything she stands for. Anyone who slanders someone for who the decide to vote for is an asshole.
The collective IQ of the entire twitterverse is about 30.
the average IQ of this country is about 30
this is what this country is turning into. If a candidate does not cater to warmongerers and coorporations, they are labeled unelectable and nuts. And their supporters are treated like s .
what sad times we live on
Because he's a ing terrible president.
Something we agree on. I really hate it when I find some of my favorite entertainers have views I think are stupid.
Meh, you have a right to speak out. , Matt Damon, Cindy Crawford, MannyisGod and other Obama supporters are lashing out against him now. MITT happens.
but her sales skyrocketed by 400% after the tweet.....best tweet of her life.
Did you buy Clarkson's album after her tweet?
Still higher than the nba forum, tbh
Handled the backlash with class it appears.
She sounds like a fan of "rights". Does she know Paul is not a fan of the Civil Rights Act?
Probably not.
She'll survive.
