Kelly Clarkson criticized on Twitter after singer endorses Ron Paul for President 

Maybe all Kelly Clarkson ever wanted was Texas Rep. Ron Paul for President.

Clarkson, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and first “American Idol” winner, endorsed the 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Thursday and immediately faced a barrage of criticism from the Twittersphere.

“I love Ron Paul,” Clarkson tweeted. “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.”

The pop idol’s Twitter followers blasted Clarkson for backing the Libertarian-leaning Texan, who finds himself on the defensive amid revelations that he published a series of racist and homophobic newsletters under his name in the 1980s and 1990s.

“I have never heard that Ron Paul is a racist or a homophobe,” tweeted Clarkson, who said she backs Paul because he believes in less government.
