Buzz up!Carrie Underwood has a message for Oprah, Diddy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and even Heidi and Spencer: Don't publicly back candidates for office.
"There is someone I do support, but I don't support publicly," she tells TV Guide, as excerpted by Just Jared. "I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.
"It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions," she goes on. "I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.
"Music is where you go to get away from all the BS," adds Underwood, who recently apologized for saying ex Tony Romo still calls her. "Whether it's from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape."

I COMPLETELY agree. I hate it when celebrities do that. I watched the VMA's like a month ago, and this british comedian was going off about McCain. I was thinking, even if don't like McCain or the republican party you shouldn't bash it. Besides the fact that the guy going off was from the UK and NOT the US!! I was going to throw something at my TV. Grrr...
