Famed Singer Kelly Clarkson Switches Vote From Libertarian Ron Paul to Obama… Because He’s a ‘Great Guy’

American singer and songwriter Kelly Clarkson says she plans to vote for President Barack Obama in November partly because he is a “great guy,” making a seemingly drastic swing after originally supporting the very Libertarian Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) for president.
Though she calls herself a “Republican at heart,” the singer and native Texan told the Daily Star that she has been “reading online about the debates” and what she has discovered has apparently made her an Obama supporter.
“Iβm probably going to vote for Obama again…I canβt support Romneyβs policies as I have a lot of gay friends and I donβt think itβs fair they canβt get married,” Clarkson said.
In addition to her support for gay marriage, Clarkson also bought into the Obama campaign’s narrative that Romney is waging a “war on women,” saying “I’m not a hardcore feminist but we can’t be going back to the ’50s.”
She later added, “Obama is a great guy. Iβve met him and Iβm a fan of Michelle, too.”
In December 2011, Clarkson somehow ignited controversy by simply voicing her support for Paul.
“I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t,” Clarkson said on Twitter.
Some of the pop singer’s followers accused Paul of being racist and homophobic, referencing newsletters that were sent out using his name in 1980s.
She later felt obligated to address the backlash and tweeted the following message:
“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.”

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:26pmShe supported the best candidate. There are Libertarians that are voting for Obama as the lesser of two evils. Some just want to stick it to the GOP for their dirty tricks. Others think Obama’s foreign policy is less aggressive. I guess when the two candidates represent the same principles picking the nicer guy is as good of a reason as any. I personally don’t agree with her choice, but what difference does it really make?

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:44pmActually I think we should go back to the 1950s. America was at its peak then. Now it’s a degenerate, gay loving, Muslim sympathizing, communist infested modern day Rome. And look at the condition this country is in now thanks to liberalism. American needs to go back to the 1950s if it wants to make any kind of comeback.

I understand what your saying. I just hope its not true. If its someone who is not politically awake, and only went for certain people because thats who was “in” then yeah. I dont think Obama is a lesser of two evils. I think Rommney is. But they are the same on foreign policy. Rommney would be better on domestic issues. But not anywhere as good as Paul or Johnson. Just dont vote if someone thinks obama is better. because thats crazy.

It’s worse when a freedom loving conservative does it, because you should know better. You talk of freedom on a daily basis but you don’t really believe in freedom. You only believe in your own freedom, if you deviate from your set of standards, you don’t deserve freedom!

Posted on October 24, 2012 at 9:12pmOh how cheerfully do people sprint into the open arms of servitude and embrace the shackles that will hold them for the rest of their lives. Freedom? Bah, who needs it? They will trade every ounce of freedom in exchange for free room, board, food, medical, & abortions. They would gladly see this great nation fall from leader of the free world to becoming a failed 3rd world country, just like BHO planned with his “Fundamental Transformation”. The rich will become poor, the companies will fail & be sucked into the ever bigger government. Quality will become irrelevant (Just look at the quality of Soviet era & Chinese era products) as the government will provide all so who cares if it breaks down or looks the same as it did 20-years later.
Some day, they will stand before God & will have to answer for their choices. If you are an Atheist, don’t gripe at me, you think in the end everyone will just be worm food.
As for Kelly Clarkson, I haven’t heard her music, don’t plan to hear it, & support her right to vote for who she wants. As for the wisdom of her choice or that of any Libertarian that chooses to vote for Obama, you’ll be first in line to get the Obama’s new “Useful Idiots 2012″ T-shirts with the photo of Obama & Lenin smiling & shaking hands on the back.

Gas, groceries, goods and services cost at least 2X what they cost even 4 years ago. Average household salaries are way down. Record unemployment and underemployment. The country is more divided along ideological lines than ever before…. And the biggest concerns on some people’s minds are gay sex, gay marriage, free contraception and free abortion?

Put the glasses down ladies and gentlemen, the horse has bolted, the election is over with Clarkson’s endorsement of Obama. Romney just can’t surmount such incredible odds like this. With Clarkson’s endorsement a nation can now get off the fence and follow her lead, a lead that shows clarity of thought and a robust understanding of our fiscal and national security concerns. A lead that takes us to strong job growth and a path to a balanced budget… I’m sorry…I can’t even type this without going into bursts of laughter….

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 6:51pmI agree 00100111 though we as conservatives should abide by the same logic. Libertarians such as Ron Paul and Gary Johnson tried to convince the conservative public that gay marriage, drugs, prostitution, and abortion should be legislated at the state level per the tenth amendment, but for some reason these same conservatives pulled a Kelly Clarkson and derided this view, labeling it as “leftist” or “neo-liberal”, when in fact the truth is it’s “constitutional”. Here we had two candidates, albeit libertarian, offering a plan to balance the budget in their first terms, but conservatives simply couldn’t vote for them apparently because they “couldn’t get behind his foreign policy” or “couldn’t get behind his drug policy”. Perhaps Kelly Clarkson likes Mitt Romney but she just “can’t get behind his gay policy”. The sad reality is that single issues play important roles in both conservative and liberal circles. The number one pressing issue that this nation needs to address is the deficit and neither Romney or Obama is offering to fix it.

That’s right. Because otherwise it’s unconstitutional, progressive, inexpedient, expensive and immoral. You post this dribble based on your religious beliefs to make SOCIETY a better place yet fail to see that when you put the society above the individual you are destroying what country was founded on. Marxists, socialists, fascists, and you religious altruists all have this in common. It’s collectivism and it will always lead to tyranny.

I think you misunderstood my post. I’m not advocating policing prostitution, drugs, or gay marriage. My position is the same as Ron Paul and Gary Johnson’s in that these issues should be legislated at the state level per the United States Constitution. The point of my post was merely comparing 0010001′s frustration with Kelly Clarkson rejecting Mitt Romney on a single issue with the Republicans rejecting Ron Paul and Gary Johnson over a single issue, who both happened to be the only two candidates to offer a balanced budget (which is the most pressing single issue of them all).

Posted on October 24, 2012 at 4:45amNeither candidate is going to fix the economy or the budget. They will both try to protect us from our enemies as best they ca. So, yeah, being on the right side of an issue of basic fairness toward our fellow citizens is as good a reason to choose as any.

Posted on October 24, 2012 at 8:06pmYour savior Alex Jones, Commie schill trowing out a factual story once in while to keep you drinking the kool aide, don’t fall for it!

There are more parts also.
Him and the so called ” libertarians ” are helping bring to fruition the communist goals with there reverence for drugs, perverse sex acts and disdain for the traditional American values that preserved the Republic for so many years.
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm
Who is the NWO? The Elites of the world, America has always been a target as we shuned the old ways of Kingships handed down since the dawn of civilization. The UN is just a body of elites.
Communism is collectivism, the spectrum runs from democracy all the way to communism just in different severities. America is a representative Republic, with a goverment that was originally designed to protect the rights of the people but has been perverted by communists since the late 1800′s, slowly creeping in like cancer. But those ” in the know ” will blame the smallest population on earth ” jews ” for all of the worlds ills when blatant communism is right in their faces and will commit national suicide for their drugs and sexual orientation and then have the nerve to call everyone else neo conservatives. Maybe it is not your intention but it sure does look like you are trying to demoralize republicans cause even you know Gary and Ron have no chance

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 8:39amWow, none of what you said was true. And Rick Santorum says gay marriage is our biggest threat.
And an American citizen can vote for whoever the heck they want. And isn’t she in California? Her vote counts even less than your vote does. Sterilize yourself, please.

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:23pmI was thinking the same thing. How can someone be for the most limited government person and when they lose they decide to support the candidate that wants to grow the biggest government.

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:12pmShe’s basing her decision on what she is reading on the mainstream media which is promoting Romney as anti-gay and waging a war on women. She is merely uninformed. This is why a free press is necessary and why 2084 (search for love hope and faith) says that the Left hijacked the media to brainwash us.

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:19pmLMAO, haven’t heard the word “dingbat” since my veteran grandfather caught a glimpse of Boy George on MTV back in the 80′s.
You are right to question her move from Libertarianism to Socialism, polar opposites as if there were nothing in between. This demonstrates the complete lack of understanding by the youth in this country. Thius is itself is a good reason to take the schools away from the federal government.

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 4:30pmLibertarians are a diverse group of people. Some are attracted to the party because of non interventionist foreign policy and civil liberties. We told you way back that he’d be able to pull support from across the aisle.

Posted on October 23, 2012 at 5:37pmI know I’ll now be voting for Barry, because love chunks has chosen to vote for him (s/o). She’s using the kind of logic only bestowed upon trrue liberals, who display characteristics of being brain dead. Can Kelly Clarkbar actually sing? Well apprently she can’t because she doens’t have legs like a bird, but she has an a$$ which is developing like that of a hippo. With a voice like her’s, I bet she can rip a real melody, like a finely tuned whoopie cushion, along with a rotten aroma to follow.
