Finally! A celebrity with some sense. I’ve wondered to myself for years why politicians think it’s a good thing to get a celebrity endorsement. I mean really, when Heidi Montag backed John McCain did that send you running to register as Republican? Did Scarlett Johannson’s claim to be receiving personal emails from Barack Obama make you think he could change the world?

He tells CMT Insider, “I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. Because at the end of the day, I’m good at writing songs and singing. What I’m not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for … I think would be very irresponsible on my part.”

Preach it Brother Kid! It would not only be irresponsible on his part to influence his fans; it would be utterly ridiculous and stupid for someone to follow a celebrity to the voting poles.
