How would you know why someone voted for someone without asking them? I don't know of a single person who has ever voted for someone because "Celebrity A" inspired them to.
The fact of the matter is this, celebrities have to the right to voice their opinions. Music is about expression, I for one am glad that there are some celebrities that are passionate enough about this too express them through what they do best. They are Americans too and just like anyone else they should be able to voice their opinions and concerns. Some people may not like it, but all they have to do is not listen to them. If musicians want to tour to support Bush, Nader, Kerry, or anyone else then they have a right too.
