Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” Album Up 192% Since Endorsing Ron Paul

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages)

Kelly Clarkson’s endorsement of Ron Paul may have caused controversy with her Twitter followers, but it sure helped her career.

Sales of Clarkson’s album “Stronger” have soared on Amazon ever since the singer tweeted,  “I love Ron Paul,” and “He’s got my vote.”

In the past 24 hours, Clarkson’s record was up 192% on the online retail site.

A day before the former “American Idol” winner explained why she’s a Paul supporter, “Stronger” was ranked #41 on Amazon’s “Movers & Shakers in Music” list.

Today, the album is up to #13.

On Thursday, right after Clarkson wrote, “Ron Paul is about letting people decide, not the government. I am for this,” many of her Twitter followers were angered, leading her to insist she didn’t believe in some controversial opinions attributed to Paul.

“I have never heard that he’s a racist? I definitely don’t agree with racism, that’s ignorant,” Clarkson wrote to one fan.

She also clarified that she supports gay rights.

“I love all people and could care less if you like men or women,” tweeted Clarkson, adding, “I have never seen or heard Ron Paul say anything against gay people?”

In a longer message, Clarkson set the record straight about her politics.

“I am really sorry if I have offended anyone,” she wrote. “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 the Republican nominees, he’s my favorite.”

    man she doesn’t understand what it means to get government out of “our lives.” Not the Ron Paul version, that is. Those “rights” she claims to champion… Paul would have government get out of our lives and allow the return of segregation and discrimination because he doesn’t think it’s the government’s job to promote social equality.

    Kelly Clarkson is for freedom. I have been waiting for a moment like this….

  • Scottt Twist

    That is a load of crap… Equal rights for all, not equal rights for some, or equal rights for groups. You have rights because you are a person, not because you are a black person or a white person, or straight or gay. You have the same rights I do. You dont get more or less rights because you belong to a group, ie race, gender, creed, sexual orientation just to name a few. That is Ron Pauls views. His message is the same no matter who he Is speaking too. Read, don’t listen to the TV.

  • Chris34

    Segregation was government endorsed you idiot! You are missing the point

  • Derek B

    Actually he doesn’t think it’s the FEDERAL government’s job to grant certain groups extra rights and cause divides in society.

    As for the rest of your statement, it shows just how immature your view of modern society it. Because, of course, slaves weren’t caught by the government and returned to their owners if they tried to run away from their enslavement. And, certainly, Rosa Parks was NOT standing up to a MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT LAW that stated blacks had to sit at the back of the bus, and a GOVERNMENT monopoly on public transit that didn’t let non-discriminatory competitors even enter the marketplace.

    no, none of that. We are all just raging, foaming-at-the-mouth cannibals waiting to happen but for our benevolent overlords and their magical ability to unite us all and make us all happy and huggy by writing magical words on piece of paper and enforcing them at the point of a gun.

    Dude, it’s time to step out of the worldview of a fucking five-year-old. You can’t LEGISLATE morality. We’ve tried that how many times. Anti-child-labour laws have driven the rates of childhood prostitution up over 300% in the last decade. Who knew, kids still have to fucking eat, and if factory owners are going to get jailed for hiring them and, thus, won’t, they are going to find any way they can to fill their bellies.

    Grow up. Seriously. People like you fuck this world up so badly it’s sickening.

    You are such a zombie lol! REALLY?? Did you know that obama signed NDAA?? Oh you don’t because you only follow what the media tells you. Let me educate you, obama SPECIFICALLY asked that US CITIZENS be put into the bill, stating that US U.S. CITIZENS can be held INDEFINITELY, NO trial, NO lawyer, NO notification to your family as to WHY you disappeared off the face of the earth, no visitations, NOT even an investigation on your charges, you can go to GTMO and tortured if they think you have info or if they are bored. Did you know that if you are a protestor (your constitutional right to protest is gone by the way with this bill) that you can be labeled a LOW LEVEL TERRORIST and because of the good o’l Patriot Act you can be held INDEFINITELY because of the good o’l NDAA bill. THey work together nicely. So, if you annoy the government by protesting and exposing their corrupt selves, you can be labeled a terrorist and disappear. Good bye Bill of RIGHTS, good bye CONSTITUTION. But hey if that’s okay with you and that is freedom to you, have a blast in our new world and our new government..I don’t have time to tell you about SOPA so look it up yourself darling

    He is not a racist, read what he has written not what the mainstream media has written for him. Those letters (from 20 years ago) were not written by him, and he has disavowed them. Rather then getting your opinion spoon fed to you by the media why not think for yourself. read his book, listen to his speeches- he has stood up for civil liberties time and again.

    “If we guarantee your liberty as an individual, that means you have civil rights to live your lifestyle. You actually can do things that I might disapprove of. But I’m very tolerent.

    Ron paul’s own words… from his own self written book… “Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity,” Paul wrote. “Why don’t they quit once the so-called harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the harasser cannot be defended, but how can the harassee escape some responsibility for the problem? Seeking protection under civil rights legislation is hardly acceptable.”

    none of you simple-minded rejects understand what life would be like in the libertarian utopia envisioned by people like Paul.

  • Chloe

    I love Kelly Clarkson but she needs to listen to everything that Ron Paul says and not short nips of his get’me lines. Kelly would change her too tune once she knows everything about him. She nees to think before she tweets.

    Ron is racist and he is against the gay rights, he also thinks it is okay to let the sick just die.

  • Independent In Nature

    Every person is entitled to their own opinion. I liked her music before this, and after as well. On Ron Paul, I am a supporter. Spin Doctors can spin all of the “faults” of his policies from here to eternity, but I ask you all one thing, do you believe everything that T.V. tells you all the time? T.V. lies, Governments lies, all people lie. It does not matter who or what you personally believe, that is the beautiful thing about our country, USA, you have the right to your own thoughts, opinions, and beliefs. What does matter is one thing, what your heart tells you is right. Regardless of who you vote for, follow your heart and you won’t be steered wrong. My heart personally tells me that the Constitution is the most important document that our country has and that Ron Paul will do what it takes to restore it back to its true glory. Our Freedom needs to be protected by the war hungry people in our special interest groups, politicians, and corporations that profit from the wars we are thrown into. That’s my two cents. Take it or Leave it.

    yes, his message is always the same. But what he would take from the feds, he would give back to the states. The STATE can then tell you who you can discriminate against, who you can marry, what a woman can do with her own damn body. What’s the difference? The man is only for freedom on HIS terms. On a stacked deck. And, btw, I don’t listen to the t.v. and I do read and I am intimately aware of and educated in the philosophical concept of ethical egoism upon which the shaky ship of “libertarianism” is resting.

    actually, it’s not difficult to become intelligent. you just have to read a few books sometime. my observation’s been that those who whimsically spout off their opinions rarely read, yet they suffer from a pretentiousness that makes them believe themselves to be intelligent. i never got that. how one can be intelligent without the effort. i guess these people are fatalist-darwinians who somehow believe we are destined to be who we are from birth. if only they could/would take the time to read the latest on neuroscience, they’d see how erroneous such a point of view really is.

    Guest, you don’t know how important it is to us to get celebrity endorsements for Ron Paul. Some are actually putting their career on the line for it – that wouldn’t be the case for any politician. Just RP because the establishment hates him so much. Endorsing Obama or Newt Romney poses no such risk.

  • Nicety

    Is there any wonder why the country is in the state it is in.Celebrities,politicians are in the same business.Neither care about the people and both will say whatever is neccessary to advance their careers.This is what decides our government……… How many liars and fakes another liar and fake has supporting them.I like the days when your preference was private and not used for career gain.Now if your career is not quite up to par and you have a movie or album to endorse,etc you turn to politics and vice versa.Truly sad.

    You do get “less rights because you belong to a group” if a state restricts rights in a manner disproportionately affecting you.

    In Paul’s philosophy — which eliminates only federal power — what stops states from doing this?

    This is generally what advocates of “states’ rights” have tried to accomplish, in fact.

  • Anonymous

    Federal or state?

    You do realize there is private segregation too — the right to which Paul defends to this day?

    If Paul were generically anti-government, rather than merely wanting to empower state governments, he would not be endorsed by people wanting to enact “Biblical law” at the state level.

    First let me say that I don’t condone every single thing Obama has done because at the end of the day he is a poltician just like the ones before him and the one that will come after him.Everyone in government is running the same game.They all get richer while we get screwed one way or the other.This entire process is a joke because it doesn’t matter what party you support if you can’t benefit them financially or some other way they see fit you are a nonfactor.I think they should do away with government period because none of them are listening to us.They tell us what we want to hear during election and after we have voted and put them into office they discard us like used tissue.That being said I have read this bill and I think you should read it again and maybe get the broken down version.There were parts that some people in congress wanted revised and it was rejected by other members of congress.I don’t understand how people can lay the blame one person for what is happening in this country when there is plenty of blame to go around.People act like Obama is the only one in the government if that is the case what is the purpose of the other elected officials.I don’t know what school many went to but from elementary through college I was taught that the president has limited power,meaning congress and senate play a part in the bad decisions but he gets all the blame.Maybe people should ask what their state officials that they send to Washington to represent them are actually doing for you.It really doesn’t matter if Obama isn’t relected because whoever gets into office is going to screw up and screw you over at some point and people are going to be B****ing and moaning about him just like now.

    Ron Paul has advocated less federal power and intervention into state issues, which might sound all great and wonderful if you happen to live in a state that can be trusted to uphold all of its residents’ rights. I don’t live in one of those, do you? Ron Paul’s “hands off” ideas would lead to conservative states denying rights to women, minorities, etc. Basically, if you thought the behavior of the Deep South was awesome around the time of the Civil War, then that is what his philosophy could allow for. His message can sound great those who refuse to look a little deeper. And before you assume that I’m just listening to the TV, I’m not. I’m going from quotes that Ron Paul has made.

    People like you are funny as hell.The American Hero your opinion and from your post we see how much weight that carries.I am not going to try and defend Obama.He didn’t put this country in the state it is in.I am not going to lie and say he didn’t contribute but guess what so did your American Hero,so did all the other politicians past and present.Here is another news flash so will the next president no matter who it is.You and others like you really have this f**ked up.They are all going to tell you what you want to hear and if they happen to get elected they are going to look out for their best interest and screw you.All this BS about Obama is not about his ability it is about the racist views that this country has had for centuries.Everybody has a place and people feel he stepped out of his when he had the audacity to run for president.It wouldn’t have mattered if he took office and did everything right people like you would still find something to b***h about.The only problem I have with Obama now is that he won’t tell all you racist people to kiss his ass because he doesn’t need you.He is set for life ,screw the BS it is time he stop playing crazy for the crazy.Nobody will say it but none of these politicians give a rats ass about us,but you people would have sooner put Hitler into office before a black man.Then you use all these excuses like this country was in such great shape before Obama took office.The state this country is in is based on centuries of bad decisons not just the last four years.Oh and what about the elected official from your state that is sent to Washington to represent you.If he is not doing his job is that Obama’s fault to! Like I said I am not saying Obama has not made his share of mistakes but this crap is getting old laying it at one mans doorstep when there is enough shit to shovel around this country.This is why nothing is getting done is because people don’t focus on the whole problem they find one target and let the rest of them get away with murder.Obama came in off the back of eights of hell and he was supposed to fix everything in four when both parties (who feel he is black man overstepping his bounds) fighting him on everything.The best thing he can do is to tell all you racist SOB’s to go to hell!

  • Nicety

    I actually hope this guy or someone else gets into office if for nothing else so all you coward assholes who have pretended that Obama’s “lack of ability” or whatever excuse you can dream up has screwed this country up.None of you have the guts to come out and say the real reason you have a problem with the man.You can’t actually pinpoint one thing without it somehow being tied into the eight years or centuries before he took office.You can’t blame it on his lack of ability without looking at the last president who screwed things up the first four years but then was elected for an additional four.Then there was the presdient before the eight year wonder who signed the bill that sent work to other countries and put many factories,etc. out of business.All of them have contributed to the deficit crisis.Now you could try to put the blame on Obama but nine times out of ten it can be proven that the problem didn’t originate with Obama.So people need to just be real about the reason they don’t like the man.It is the same problem this country has had for centuries.If you don’t know what I mean it is the Good Ole Boy syndrome(yes I made it up).People like him have a place and that place is not having power over the white man.He has overstepped his bounds.The thought of a black man being your president and living in your white house.The thought a black man going from the fields to running your country that your ancestors fought for (stole however you look at it) is crazy.In your opinion a black man can break his back and fight and die for this country but never be your president.This is why man of you are so against Obama and just too coward to say it so you make up all these other excuses but I for one hope you get your wish.I hope this man or some other good ole boy gets it.It doesn’t really matter who gets into office you still are not going to be happy but as long as it is one of yours you will be content.You’d rather it be Hitler,Manson or even Pee Wee Herman as long as it is not a black man.

  • Chloe

    I have to agree with you on this one…to many people have very short memory spans. They forget the mess we were in before Obama took office. I swear it seemed he just took office and BAM. He destroyed the country, he raised the debt, he is not a real American (the lady that started this BS is not even an American). All of a sudden the extreme right took this and ran with it.

    I ask all the time seriously where were these crazies when Bush and Chenney were in office? They did this shit. I cannot believe the well hidden (racist) views of so many people in the 21 century.

  • SovereignStates2012

    What makes you think states have some untouchable authority? State governments are more accountable to the people than the federal government will ever be. We’re finding out here in Louisiana that it is MUCH easier to recall a state official than it is to recall a federal official, such as a senator. State governments are accountable to the people because they are seated locally. It would be much easier to change things that you are not happy about on a state level. We’re trying to get our two senators recalled for violating their oaths and it’s a nightmare…it’d be easier to recall the governor himself! State sovereignty is very important…when the people of a state are unhappy with a policy, they can take it to their state government and have a much better chance of success….try recalling a federal official or revising a federal law…good luck with that! When the people of the states can govern themselves within the parameters of the Constitution (the way it was meant to be), things will be much, much better. America is just too diverse and views differ too greatly across the country for sweeping federal laws that encompass everybody to be effective.

  • Dan

    Not his terms. The terms laid out in the Constitution. These terms were already agreed upon, and the Government is infringing on those terms, including the Bill of Rights which is supposed to PROTECT you from the government. If you allow the government to ignore one rule, they will ignore them all, and innocent people will suffer a the hands of a ruthless bureaucracy.

  • Dan

    Where do you personally have more influence? A Town Hall, a PTA meeting, or a book club? You will have more control over situations when you are involved in a smaller group. Government is no different. The more centralization you have, the less power the individual has. The US is such a diverse Nation culturally, geographically, etc. that one-size-fits-all solutions will rarely be effective. This is why most problems should be dealt with at the state and local levels, where the people directly affected can have a larger role in the decision-making process. Leave the Federal Government for issues where size is a factor (like Defense).

    Your “Ron Paul’s “hands off” ideas would lead to conservative states denying rights to women, minorities, etc.” is so far off of Ron Paul’s views it isn’t even funny. Everyone knows how much he supports the Constitution (it’s like every other word the man says). The 14th amendment prevents State’s from denying ALL people their constitutional rights, and Dr. Paul is fervently in favor of that concept.

    You should be asking more questions and making fewer statements until you do some more research on the subjects.

    Ron Paul has no intention of repealing the 14th amendment. State’s would still have to respect your constitutional rights, and Ron Paul would agree.

    Which book? What page/chapter? I’d like to read this.

    FUNNY THING HERE IS THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, ITS GOING TO BE RASCISM IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH BARAQ OBAMA ON THE SUBJECT OF COPS,QUEERS,A POLICE STATE,THE LARGEST INCREASE IN FEDERAL INFORMANTS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY,TAKING OUR GUNS,PSYCHOLOGY AND HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION,THE REMOVAL OF THE NUREMBURGH CODE,COINTELPRO,MK ULTRA,SPYING ON AMERICANS THROUGH THE INTERNET-GPS TRACKING AND CELL PHONES,NEVER PURSUING GEORGE W.BUSH AS A CRIMINAL OR ALLOWING FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO HIS OBVIOUS COVER UPS.THE NEXT FUNNIEST THING IS THAT WHILE THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL TRY TO MARGINALIZE RON PAUL AND CALL HIM A RASCIST OR BIGGET ALONG WITH ALL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA,PUNDITS AND POLITICAL HACKS- I GUESS IT WAS OK WHEN BILL CLINTON SAID ROBERT BIRD WAS JUST A GOOD OL BOY AND HE DIDNT REALLY KNOW ANY BETTER EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A LIFELONG DEVOUT LIBERAL DEMOCRAT AND A MEMBER OF THE KKK.RON PAUL ADMITTED TO ALLOWING HIS NAME TO BE USED FOR ENDORSEMENTS BUT I GUESS HE WASNT ACTUALLY A FRIEND OF BILL CLINTONS OR A MEMBER OF THE KKK. YEP, SURE SOUNDS LIKE RASCISM TO ME ……IDIOTS.

    THERE ARE ALOT MORE THINGS I DONT AGREE WITH OBAMA ON-LIKE THE REALITY OF LEGALIZATION AND IM NOT EVEN A USER.LIKE ALCHAHOL;DRUGS SHOULD BE CONTROLLED AND REGULATED IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEN-FOR ALL THOSE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE IT- WE WOULDNT BE CHASING TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD OR HAVE TO DECLARE DRUG WARS AGAINST THE CARTELS FOR 75 PLUS YEARS BECAUSE THIER WOULDNT BE ANY-NOT TO MENTION THE MASSIVE REDUCTION IN CRIME AND GANGS AT ALL LEVELS ACROSS THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.WITH ROUGHLY HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS A YEAR GOING OUT OF THE UNITED STATES FROM TOTAL DRUG SALES YOUD BE AN IDIOT TO SAY THAT THERE ISNT OR WONT ALWAYS BE AN APPETITE FOR DRUGS IN THE UNITED STATES, OR THAT AS LONG AS THESE POLITICIANS KEEP THEM ILLEGAL THERE ARENT HUGE DEMANDS AND EVEN BIGGER PROFITS TO BE MADE.THE BIGGEST MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE 70S REVOLUTION WAS THAT THE DRUGS WERE ABOUT PEACE,NOT HATE-BECAUSE THE LEGALIZATION REMOVES INCARCERATION AND ORGANIZED CRIME,VIOLENCE ETC…WHILE WHILE REMOVING DONATIONS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT THE SAME TIME…NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL SMOKING OUT OR TRIPPIN.LET ME SEE IF I CAN SUM THIS UP HERE……DONT SMOKE POT,GET DRUNK OR SNORT COCAINE BECAUSE LIKE BILL CLINTON,GEORGE W.BUSH OR BARAQ OBAMA YOU MIGHT BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE REALITY OF THE DRUG WAR AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME UNDER OBAMAS DRUG WAR( SO TO SPEAK) IS SIMPLE SUPPLY AND DEMAND THEORY: SALES SLOW DOWN DEMAND AND EVENTUALLY PROFITS GO UP AND LIKELY CONTRIBUTIONS: REPEAT THIS PROSCESS WITH A THEORETICAL DRUG WAR AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE?RON PAUL IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD THE COUNTRY AND JUST THROUGH INDUSTRY LEGALIZATION WOULD CREATE A MILLION JOBS INSTEAD OF POLITCAL DONATIONS.

    The fourteenth amendment existed when states weren’t respecting citizens’ constitutional rights. It’s existence doesn’t mean that anyone is going to still have rights.

    Have you actually read things that he has written? He has advocated denying rights to people so many times that it isn’t even funny. Maybe you should check out some of his stuff, instead of just believing his “I’m the awesome guy” schtick.

    Just because I don’t agree with your favorite candidate doesn’t mean that I am not informed about him or his positions.

    YOU LIBERALS DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW THE REAL WORLD IS. US WHITES BEND OVER BACKWORDS TO MAKE BLACKS FEEL WELCOME AND EQUAL. WHAT DO WE GET IN RETURN? GO TO THE POOR AREAS. THEY ARE MORE RACIST THAN WHITES. OBAMA WAS NEVER QUALIFIED TO BE OUR PRESIDENT SO WE CANT BLAME HIM FOR WHAT HE DOES WRONG. HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ELECTED. IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM THEN I BLAME YOU, NOT OBAMA.

    Wtf does her being rich have to do with anything, dumbass? I think that’s about the stupidest shit I see as a reply to people who bash a celebrity. “Yeah but he/she is rich!” Fucking ignoramus.

    Yeah that really worked well the last time the states had more power and Washington less. We only had a civil war because of it. And as I recall from history class, my kind didn’t do so well down South.
