Carrie Underwood doesn't believe in celebs who share their political affiliations.

"There is someone I do support, but I don't support publicly," she says in next week's TV Guide magazine. "I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate."

Why so cranky?

"It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions," she explains.  "I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to."

Does the country singer's brand of logic get your vote, or should the right to freedom of speech extend to stars who want to sound off on their political persuasions?
