Kelly Clarkson Loses Some Fans With Ron Paul Endorsement, But May Have Gained Even More

Kelly Clarkson's endorsement of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has turned off some longtime fans, but it may have gained her even more new ones.

Sara Spafford Freeman, a 33-year-old communications consultant, has been a Kelly Clarkson fan since the singer’s "American Idol" days. But after she saw Clarkson’s Twitter endorsement of Paul, Spafford Freeman decided she could no longer endorse Clarkson.

“I used to like Kelly Clarkson. But I can't like anyone who is either ignorant enough or arrogant enough to endorse a candidate like Ron Paul,” Spafford Freeman told Fox411 on Thursday from her home in Minnesota. “I have listened to ‘Since You've Been Gone’ for the last time.”

However, judging from sales of Clarkson’s most recent album “Stronger” since she made her Paul endorsement, the singer has attracted a lot of positive interest as well.

In the past 24 hours, Clarkson’s record is up 192 percent on Amazon.com, according the the entertainment site Gossipcop.com, shooting from #41 to #14.

"I love Ron Paul,” Clarkson tweeted Wednesday night.. “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."

Many of Clarkson’s Twitter followers immediately demanded that she retract her statement, but so far she’s refused.

Among Clarkson’s critics on Twitter was user @kat_george, who tweeted:

-- Ew just found out Kelly Clarkson luvs Ron Paul lyk, 4eva and stuff. Soz Kelly, not your fan anymore.

And there was this one from @waflanagan:

-- Oh Jebus Kelly Clarkson is a Ron Paul fan. My love for you has taken a severe hit, Kelly...

Bad publicity is better than no publicity. I'm thinking this was just a stunt on her part.

Besides, have you seen her?

I'm talking Rosie O'Donut, here...

If she supported any of the GOP candidates she would be harassed by her fans.

Entertainment Industry is a liberals haven.

Her album jumping from 41 to 14 will make those liberal executives pretty happy.

IMO, no matter who she supports, her music still sucks.

And she can stand to lose some weight.

Most of her fans,like High Pitched Eric along with Eric the midget probably do not care who Kelly Clarkson endorses.

Your comments are shallow and give freepers a bad name. I’m sure you’re both perfect and have no personal struggles at all. Happy New Year to you both.

I care as much about this entertainer’s opinion as I do Chuck Norris’, the Dixie Chicks or any other “performer.” Their views have no value and should be ignored - the lot of them!

My question as well. I thought Kellly Clarkson may have been the woman that Phil Spector murdered.

American? Looks like she’s planning on entering a Buddha look alike contest.

Yeah Kelly, that fan on your hair is going to fool everyone.

The entertainment industry has so jumped the shark with me.
