TED NUGENT Thinking About Run For Michigan Governor - Sep. 29, 2005
Launch Radio Networks reports: Is Ted Nugent planning to hang up his guitar and get into politics? It looks like that's a good possibility, according to the New York Times. Nugent told the paper that he was "99 percent ready" to run for governor of his home state of Michigan next year, but he's decided to hold off until the 2010 election. He said, "Even though Michigan needs me desperately — the pimps and the whores and the welfare brats need to be introduced to my crowbar — I think I would be better fortified and my family would be better fortified for the campaign, if I decided to do so, five years from now." Nugento claimed that he consulted with and had the support of current and former Republican governors including John Engler of Michigan, George Pataki of New York, Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and Rick Perry of Texas.

Nugent's own brother Jeff, for one, doesn't see Ted winning any contests anytime soon. He said, "I think it would be impossible for him to be elected with the views he's articulated. If he was capable of drawing back in 20 or 30 degrees from where he is, he could still be true to his beliefs but not be so outrageous." Jeff also said that he's given up on asking Ted to tone things down a bit: "I gave up doing that a long time ago. That is who he is and you can't change the stripes on a tiger."

Ted Nugent recently shot a new reality show called "Wanted: Ted Or Alive" that will air on the Outdoor Life Network early next year.

is the liberal asshole of america? You better get out more buddy. Take a trip to L.A., Hollywood more specifically. Then you'll be in the depths of the liberal anus and your right wing rants can fall on deaf hears there as well. And just to clarify, i hate both parties so save it.

Hmmm...you got almost got it right. The "serpent tongue slinger" title belongs to the conservative right wing facists that are currently in office.

That is all.

Careful there, tough guy- we may have to unleash Cindy Sheehan on Junior's ass again and send him running like a little girl. BTW- I've missed the reports of bin Laden's capture, as well as that of the anthrax mailer. Care to tell us when that happend? And how's that search going for Saddam's noo-kular weapons?

Careful who you tell they're toeing some line, when that's exactly what you're doing. The fact is- 9/11 happened on bush's watch, and all bin Laden got was away with it.

Seems a well spoken fellow. He's also right.....Nugent's past behavior and views are too extreme for a position so high whether you like it or not. No way he gets in, even in the most conservative state.

Michigan needs to hurry up and require an IQ above 70 and at least SOME education, preferably a DEGREE, to go into government. Those two things will keep Red Ted The Dittohead out of there.

But it sure would make Ted's sweetheart, Rush Limbaugh, happy if he broke into politics.
Wonder if Ted pitches or catches with Rush? I say the latter.

Although I'm not American, and have zero interest in politics, the whole conservative metalhead/black clansman thing IS a bit of a mindfuck...

"Hey guys, let's stay up all night and NOT drink, smoke or fuck!!"

And as far as the conservative guy above mentioned about 'smoking bones' on his back porch, I'd imagine your buddy Nuge would have something to say about that. Honestly, I can't think of ONE conservative person ANYWHERE in the world that has any love for the metal community in general. In their eyes, at best, we're backwards drunks, and worst, deplorable sociopaths. Hell, if I wanted an Ideological bleeding, I'd stick on a record from the multitude of 'political' music (be it right or left wing) that's been the vogue lately, but I'd rather just stick on some bone-crushing, old school metal, chug a few beers (Steinlager, if possible) and forget the bullshit of the outside world as the crushing grooves overtake me...

Fuck Ted Nugent and everyone who looks like him. Ted, if you're such a fucking hardass, how about instead of hunting down animals bred in cages with assault rifles, you go after a REAL creature of the wild with nothing but your bare hands. Might I suggest taking a hunting trip to Australia, where you can hunt nine of the ten most venomous snakes in the world, and the mighty box jellyfish... have fun...

LOSE!

I used to be a big Nugent fan but he's just out of control with this Alpha Male Concervative Bush Lover attitude.
Like Kull pointed out before, this is a guy who shit himself over several days before checking in with the military after he was drafted. Perhaps if he would have gone he would have met the Vietcong, who, unlike the animals he hunts, shoot back.


Don't get me wrong, I'm totally down with hunting and gun ownership, etc..... This is a man who sides with those that were down on Clinton for his escape of the Vietnam draft. Along with Dick Cheney and Barron Von Rummsfield they have about 11 draft deferments between them. Then they send our military to fight a "necessary" war in Iraq. Yeah, those darn Iraqis greeted us with flowers and love after we did away with good ole Saddam. It's such a much better place now. Right?

Now that Saddam isn't in power what would happen if we left? Civil War! We have created a power vacuum and the next powerful person (he who has the most guns) will fill the void.
Should we leave? No way. We can't We'll leave an unfullfilled promise and look like a bunch of pussys.

Perhaps Ted, Rummy, GWB, Chenney (and their ilk) could send their kids and grandkids over to Iraq then I think the unsupportive "liberals" would have more faith in our current administration.

Ted, play yer geetar and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

What I never understand about Nugent 2005, why did he go through such great lengths to avoid Nam? Perhaps because it was wrong? Yet he supports those that believe that invading Iraq is a good thing?
Sure the war on terror. I'm down with that. Lets invade Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Phillipines, etc... there is difinitive proof that these governments have directly or indirectly (by closing their eyes) supported terrorism as well as the Al Quaida.

Follow Bush and live a lie. Drink that coolaide you bunch of Rush/Hannity devotees.
