And what´s the reason for giving the money for Kelly instead of Ron ?
Do you want to address any of my points?
RP Supporters buy CD of Kelly Clarkson to show their support

Exactly. It's the negative, condescending attitude.
And frankly, I am a little embarrassed that I have even 600 posts, because the people I see doing this over and over have many thousands of posts, as if posting here was a particularly valuable use of time.
Could I sticky a thread that people should start limiting their posts here because it is a time sink? Also, your frankly high server bills could go way down, and the money donated to these forums could instead go to the Ron Paul campaign.
LOL! Who is playing word games ?
If buying Kelly´s cd´s would get Ron Paul elected, i think we should do it.
Endorsements come when the campaign does well, campaign does well when they have money and supporters volunteering.
It's good PR. A lot of people out there are under the false assumption we're a bunch of arrogant ponces, to the point where even CNN assumed last night that the people insulting Clarkson were Ron Paul supporters.
It's not like those reviews and comments and sales are going to be any kind of earth-shattering revelation, but it helps.

Didn't buy a CD but I left an amazon review 
Celebrity endorsements open Ron up to new people.
Defending Clarkson allows other closet celeb RP supporters to come out of the closet.
In a celeb-obsessed culture, they can be very useful.
To those saying donate to the campaign instead. Do you recall 4 years ago when we paid hundreds of thousands for a blimp?

Exactly. Kelly Clarkson is a superstar. If we can help her feel the courage to keep speaking up, that could be very beneficial.

Okay, but please, gang, let's not make this like the O'Reilly blowback. I don't think it would be good to flood Amazon with a bunch of reviews from people who have clearly not listened to the album. With O'Reilly, it was kind of cool, because the reviews were so funny (e.g., "This book was so awful I threw up while reading it"), but here that's not going to help.
That comment is not aimed at you, but just in general. I'm willing to give Kelly a listen to, and even for those who aren't, you probably know somebody who would like her album as a late Xmas gift.
Moving Kelly to #1 is huge. Even if the media tries to ignore this, the industry and big name performers will be very aware of it. They'll know that publicizing their support for Ron Paul will not only not hurt them, but can actually help them. You can't put a price tag on that!
Moreover, I really think that what they're doing to her is at least partly orchestrated, just like what happened to the Dixie Chicks. Joe Rogan did a lot more than a Tweet, and there was no negative feedback that I heard of, because you're not going to bully a good standup comedian who actually likes confrontation. Kelly is seen as an easy target. We have to show that this tactic will not work, and can even backfire on them.

milo10 and brenton, I agree with you.
qwerty, no one likes a wet blanket, at least not when directed at them. You are being a Debbie Downer. Sometimes you are wrong. Remember being wrong about the most effective way to promote moneybombs? Let people be wrong in their own ways without haranguing from those who should have been their friends and allies. Sometimes, they will turn out to be unexpectedly correct.
In this case, it will not even be unexpected, to me. This Clarkson character endorses Ron Paul, then suddenly her album rockets to #1 on Amazon. There are people in the music industry who will connect the dots. Maybe there will even be a news story on it which will be free advertising worth more than the total cost of the CD purchases. And there is no possible way it could turn out to be an actual negative for the campaign. Moral of the story:
If you can't say something upbeat and encouraging, don't say anything at all.
