Mitt Romney Is An Idiot (RON PAUL 2012!).mp4

Singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson's Amazon ranking went above 1000% after endorsing Ron Paul, and now two of her albums are on the charts, "Stronger" and "Breakaway" (click here to see the current percentage).

Clarkson jumped on the bandwagon with a growing army of Ron Paul supporters to announce her endorsement for Paul on Dec. 28, but not without some hate followed by some serious r3VOLutionary love.

Here's what she said on Twitter, Facebook and her website, "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."

Kelly's in excellent company as she joins those who have shown their Ron Paul approval, like: Jon Stewart, Clint Eastwood, Jesse Ventura, Drew Carey, Howard Stern, Chuck Norris, Kane, Prodigy's Mobb Deep, Vince Vaughn, John Mayer, Barry Manilow, Tony Pashos, Peyton Hillis, John Mayer---just to name a few.

In this heated GOP race, the problem with putting yourself out there as a star is you can lose a lot of fans, here's what one fan said, "Does anyone want my Kelly Clarkson floor seats in South Fl. Just realized I might no longer be a fan!?"

After receiving many negative posts on her Facebook, the girl who got her start on "American Idol" replied, "I am really sorry if I have offended anyone ... 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."

After thousands more comments. Clarkson said, "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."

Clarkson continued, "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."

The good news is that Clarkson has now earned many new fans in the army of Ron Paul's freedom-fighter supporters. In fact, one of the most popular pro-Paul sites, the dailypaul.com, started the "music bomb" to support her for taking the risk and stepping out for the champion of The Constitution.

Here's what the dailypaul site says: "Let's return Kelly some love today by getting her latest album back into the top 10.Her Tweet/Facebook post "I love Ron Paul..." is huge, gutsy and came at the perfect time.

Dr. Paul is on the verge of major breakout in support and things like this are just the catalyst the movement needs. She has a huge fan base, and those that agree with many of Dr. Paul's positions but believed his followers were crazy nutjobs, are more apt to feel comfortable supporting him when their respected heroes such as Kelly point out the Emperor is in fact not wearing any clothes.

It takes a lot of guts for any musician to come out in support of a candidate for the simple fact they may offend some fans that might not agree with one's views and possibly lose out in record sales.Let's show Kelly the opposite is also possible, especially when it comes to the Liberty Movement."

Her latest album Stronger is currently #41 in Amazon's Best Sellers list and #15 on iTunes - let's get it back to the top of charts!

Are you willing to step out in support of your candidate of choice? If so, go ahead and leave a comment below.

This is sad that so many people don't do their due diligence. A simple overview of his voting record would show otherwise.

Paul is one of the strangest politicians in the US today. Some of his views are quite liberal while others are outright fascist IMO. It's like he has political bi-polar disorder.

I dont think he can appeal to enough voters to win a national election. Remember that the states on the east and west coast with the most electoral votes (like NY and CA) traditionally go democrat.

"Outright fascist"? Well at least you included "IMO" at the end of that statement. I'd love to know what positions you think of his are fascist? Is this something you heard some pundit parrot on TV or is it something you've actually heard Ron Paul advocate? I'm here to tell you that Ron Paul is the anti fascist candidate, he has no policies that could anyway be construed at fascist, unless something is completely slandering him or spinning something he says by putting words in his mouth which is unfortunately done often by the mainstream media. It should make you question why he is not only attacked by the liberal media but also fox. It is because he challenges the establishment and the status quo. They are scared to death that the American people are no longer lazy, they are opening up their eyes and seeing the propaganda, control and division creating by the mainstream media who is bought and paid for by the same corporations and special interests that corrupt our government.

Ron Paul's support is everywhere, and is growing everyday. He already won the California straw poll a few months back and has gained a lot of support their because of Obama's back stepping on his campaign promises and having no record that indicates he will stop.

Dr. Paul's positions are not "left" or "right" they are constitutional and within the rule of common law. Perhaps you should look further into him, past the headlines and listen to what he says and the message of true liberty. There is a reason why his supporters are so passionate, it's because the message of liberty caused us to dig deeper, we are more informed and therefore more certain that this message of is the only solution to America's problems. Ron Paul is clearly the only choice, look at his record, look at all the other candidates records, regardless of party affiliation, none of them promote and have a consistent record of true liberty.

"Fascist" is a gross exaggeration, but anyone who believes the government should dictate a woman's medical privacy is certainly not for "freedom."

Kodell, You are a perfect example of Ron Paul supporters out there. I can't wait to see him continue his fight for freedom. One of his assets is an army of r3VOLution fighters like you. Hope to hear from you again real soon.

The thing about Ron Paul is he has so many people on the ground volunteering that it is unlike any other candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes it all.

Some celebrities just go with the flow in endorsing a candidate.

But this was quite a risk and she took a verbal beating for stepping out.

Great commentary Stephanie. Kelly has found a huge fan base in the Ron Paul camp as her latest album is now ranking in the teens! Just maybe this endorsement will cause fans that initially responded soo negative to her endorsement to look a little deeper at Paul's principals over some 30 years in office and in the public spotlight and then look deeper at the US Constitution. Then just maybe more will see, as I have, the mirror image. All the best in 2012...the year of the rEVOLution!

Well written and balanced article.

It's sad to see how many people reacted so negatively to her voicing her opinion. Especially with it based on believing the mass media talking points about Ron Paul and not in this day and age of the web doing some research first. I highly recommend the youtube video "the compassion of Ron Paul" for anyone who questions this mans character

Thanks Markby every once in awhile I'm balanced. Difficult when you're a part of a r3VOLution.

Stephanie, USA indeed, there is free enterprise in business as well as in politics where each candidate is free to use any strategy. You and other supporters can ron paulize as much as you can. Rate you up.

Thanks Dhreff, your support from another country is powerful.

When anyone chooses to exercise their right to support or not support a candidate, there is one reason: they CHOOSE, not anyone else. This is part of the hallmark of our Constitution - the freedom to choose who we want to support. Freedom of speech and to exercise our chosen faith based on what we know. Kudos for Miss Clarkson for deciding who she wants to support. I may disagree with a few things that Dr. Paul speaks of but that's HIS VIEW AND CHOICE. Ms. Ealy, thank you for a wonderful article.

Interesting choice of metaphor - I hope that was a little tongue-in-cheek.
