Kelly Clarkson Endorses Ron Paul: The Five Most Baffling Political Pairings

newtonbachmann.jpg
This really happened. See #1 for details.
When it comes to presidential endorsements, musicians tend to be pretty predictable. Most all of them seem to go for Democrats, except for Ted Nugent. And then, inevitably, the Republican candidates go ahead and use the left-leaning rockers' music anyway, at which time said rockers throw kanipchen fits.

But sometimes artists' endorsements are totally baffling. Witness Wednesday's news that Kelly Clarkson was throwing her support behind Ron Paul. Here, then, are our top five most beguiling politician/musician pairings. We also threw in an actor, because we couldn't resist.

5. Kelly Clarkson/Ron Paul, 2012
Sure, they both come from Texas, but WTF? "I love Ron Paul," Clarkson tweeted Wednesday. "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." Sure, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement. But still, it's Ron freaking Paul, the guy who only libertarian tech support guys and dubstep DJs seem to go for.

I agree.  It takes a lot of nerve to voice open support as she has.  Yea Kelly.

ASIANS CAN ACTUALLY READ MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!they can hear and see what your visually thinkingthis is the solid truth

The reason a lot of Asians have completely expressionless faces, only associate with Asians and don't associate with non Asians that much, and are very unfriendly in general is to avoid accidentally revealing that they can read minds. If all over a billion Asians where to show facial expressions all the time just as much as non Asians, associate with non Asians much more, and be much more friendly and talkative, then a lot of them might accidentally reveal that they can read minds by accidentally showing a facial expression or dirty look when someone thinks, or visually pictures something in their mind they don't like, find astonishing, or funny etc because those people might see that and and really wonder what that was that just happened there and see the connection, if they all associated with non Asians a lot more then there would be a lot more people around for them to accidentally show facial expressions when those people think things they don't like etc, so they only associate with Asians so there won't be anyone around for them to see that and have any accidents happen in the first place.

Think about it, it's not normal how a lot of them act, it's not normal human behavior! and the entire way they act is all to hid their mind reading abilities, it makes perfect sense to do all of that to hide that they can read minds, because all of that is the perfect way to do it!Every single Asian alive is hiding their mind reading abilities, they will always deny that they can read minds, they will lie about having mind reading abilities forever!!!Because they value hiding their mind reading abilities more then their own lives! That's why nobody knows about it!

Try thinking, best yet visually picturing in your mind something absolutely crazy as you possibly can when you are around Asians, and try looking for Asians who give people particular looks, especially dirty looks for what appears to be for completely no reason, that is them giving people looks when they hear and visually see someone thinking something they don't like, find astonishing, or funny etc.It still happens spite a large percentage of Asians having completely expressionless faces all the time, it would just happen a lot more if none of them had completely expressionless faces all the time, it's still not uncommon!

I know this sounds crazy, impossible and completely unbelievable, BUT IT ISN'T CRAZY WHEN ITS TRUE

The reason you think this truly is crazy, impossible, and unbelievable is because our society as propagandized us into believing that nothing extra ordinary is real, and that it is impossible that people can read minds, and that it is crazy to think that it's true that people can read minds, all just to cover up that Asians can read minds! who says that can't exist? the people who have mind reading abilities who are trying to cover it up!

Some of what Ron Paul says makes complete sense. But he's all about strippingthe working poor of any meaningful social safety nets. It's every man for himself,kind of like a race into the future, but people like Kelly Clarkson and Vince Vaughnget a mile head start and everyone else gets the wrong directions. "All for one andand one for himself". My moneys on Rick Santorum.... falling off a cliff. Gingrich,ya right. Obamas got it in the bag, he's not a Mormon, not that there's anythingwrong with that.

I'm sorry, but any politician that wouldn't even contemplate same sex marriage is pretty one eyed and archaic in my opinion. USA, please wake up to the modern world. This ain't the 1800s

Ron Paul rocks.  It is hilarious how all the sinners beg for an honest politician but when one arrives they do everything in their power to crucify him.  I guess the problem with an honest politician is it makes too many people feel dirty and ashamed.  They become desperate to tear him down so they can feel better about their own choices and actions.

Ron Paul is real counterculture.  LAweekly needs to get with it or become extinct.

Why is this so hard to understand?  Paul's support is coming overwhelmingly from young people.

If you think Paul is the guy "who only libertarian tech support guys and dubstep DJs seem to go for" you're very, very out of touch.  Read the news once in a while.

"libertarian tech support guys" is an oxymoron, libertarians love freedom and tech support guys love to tell you what to do

Yeah, that matters, cause his movies are so thoughtful and all. Move to Texas and see exactly what extremist politics have done for us: all the oil money goes into a few hands and then right out of state, our major rivers are cesspools due to small-gov'ment pinheads and zero regulation, and we have one of the worst school systems in the country.

I was born and raised in Texas, and live there now as an adult.  There is nothing "extremist" about the prevailing state governmental policy, unless you're talking about extreme dedication to selling out the public to large business interests - which is actually a very mainstream political tendency, I'd say. 

You say Texas' problems are the result of "zero regulation", which is interesting.  Exactly how much regulation do you consider "zero regulation"?

I am neither and support Ron, so sorry for some of you who can't seem to step outside your left/right bubble, BTW, you may want to report on how Ms. Clarkstons records sales have gone from #41 to #2 since that endorsement!!!

A new album and a national commercial, (courtesy of Ford) have nothing to do with that I'm sure. Genius.

Iowa GOP explains moving vote tabulation away from HQ1774 precints-how does one have campaign representatives for each precint accomapny the votes to where tabulation happens? 6 candidatesx1774 precients=10,000+ individuals in the night moving the votes to a 'location'? Won't happen..3 people cannot keep a secret(location). So the ballots will be in the posession of the few. Will they be 'stuffed'? Precounted and first? Locked in a box during transport? 1774 locks? 1774 boxes? Won't happen. Will the transporters be searched first, will they be trailed, will they bemonitored in the transport vehicles, will the vehicles be search before transport and after?The Party is simply moving off-site-NOT SIMPLE.said it was only to avoid a sabotage.- When simplicty is gone..duplicity steps in.Those slips are collected, taken to a table, and counted in the open.- To bad people are emotional about their candidate, too bad the democratic process is some times messy, arguementative. Too bad it is inconveinent to have to deal with the basic premiss of one person one vote. The answer is not to avail simplicity where there can be no simple solution, the answer is to avail an open vote. Deal with it GOP. Like it has always been dealt with, infront of everybody, no secret location, no unknown transfers
