Rock singer and gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent says he is seriously considering a run for president in 2016.
The part-time Michigan resident makes the revelation in a lengthy Washington Post profile in which he also claims to be toying with a potential campaign slogan: “Hi, I’m Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and I’m running for president.”
Nugent, also known as the Motor City Madman, has previously considered running for governor of Michigan, but decided against it. He has a hunting ranch in Jackson County and a cabin in Lake County, but his full-time residence is in Texas near Waco.
“He’s talked about it before,” wife Shemane told the Post about a presidential campaign. “But this time he seems more serious. People are constantly asking him to run.”
Please, PLEASE, let this happen!
I have been so good I totally deserve this!
And if I may might I make a suggestion?
Nugent/Palin 2016
They could run on the batshit crazy ticket. I have never wanted anything more in my whole life.
What a joke!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Of course, they'd never get on a ballot anywhere. They are both too lazy to follow those pesky election rules.
ReplyDeleteBut the slogans write themselves. Nugent nine children from seven wives. Palin five children from two men and two mothers. Vote for us. We support families. And the sacredness of one man and one woman (at a time.) And we have access to Santa Claus and large guns.

Lol 5 kids from 2 ( or three) men and two women!

Oh come on! You know very well that the Tundra Turd will never run as second fiddle to anyone ever again!
ReplyDeleteThe dickweed hasn't been in the headlines in a while so this is his palin look at me moment.Fuck him and her and the horse they rode in on.Buncha bullshit.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised people tell him all the time that he should run for president -- HE LIVES IN WACO!!!! WACO!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeing same probably makes you insane in Waco.
Don't you mean he lives in Whacko?
DeleteHis wife's name is....Shemane?
ReplyDeleteReally?
One letter off of Shemale. Interesting.
Bats everywhere are grumbling, “Why can’t they leave us out of this?”
ReplyDeleteSodaHead had a post about this very topic called
ReplyDelete"President Theodore Nugent. Has A Nice Ring To It, Eh?"
Most of the comments were predictably negative.
I used to work at a paper that ran a hunting column he wrote...he INSISTED on spelling words his way because the common spelling was "British" and he would yell at the little old lady news assistant if anyone corrected his spelling and put it in regular English.
ReplyDeleteWhen baby Jesus saw Nugent/Palin 2016 ... he puked.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the fact that I would have to see their hideous faces, that would be HILARIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteThe Shitter and the Quitter.
ReplyDeleteNow that is good!

DeletePalin/Nugent 2016... The Quitter-Shitter Ticket
I would buy that bumper sticker.
"Ted Nugent says he is seriously considering a run for president in 2016"
ReplyDeleteNo he isn't. He is seriously considering pretending to run. Like Trump, and Cain. All arrogant megalomaniacs that demean the electoral process to trumpet and blather and hog air time and print space and line up publishing contracts and speaking engagements.
Their ignorance of governing, their inexperience in ever having run for so much as city council makes no difference to them. They know a stenographic useless media will take their word that they are serious contenders and treat them as such.
They will make money. That is all that matters. The effect on our electoral process is irrelevant.
And, sure, I will laugh at the stupider things they say, but I will be angry with myself for doing so.
Elections are not a joke. They effect our daily lives in significant and insignificant ways, and change the very course of history. People around the world take their very lives in their hands to dare to vote. Here the republicans are gearing up to exclude as many people as possible from voting because it is the only way they can win elections and put incredibly damaging legislation in place.
None of us can afford to be distracted by shiny objects like Nugent, disrupting and making a mockery of the process.
Excellent, Nefer. I wrote a similar, though much less eloquent comment before seeing yours.
DeleteWe can't afford these comedy acts anymore. Even sadder- our best news source is a comedian, Jon Stewart.
So its come to this in the wingnut bubble? These people are actually devolving in front of our eyes. Reince Preibus must be extremely queasy this morning at the thought of a 2012 repeat of the GOP clown car.
ReplyDeleteWhat sane individual would think Nugent the pedophile and cowardly shitter of clothes would be good for anything but being the has been that he is? Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please let Theodore throw his lice filled hat into the ring. . . . Are we truly that lucky?
"I have been so good I totally deserve this!"
ReplyDeleteSorry to play the Mom card here, but NO! I think the country has had enough "crazy candidate" sideshows. Most don't even expect to win- they get a career boost and a soapbox to spew stupid. And with as long and drawn out as our election seasons are now, I really think it is too damaging to the country.
It's not funny anymore. People like palin, nugent, trump and cain don't care about the outcome, as long as their name is remembered long after the fighting is over. Too many just can't afford this nonsense to continue.
And the media love it and enable it.
As Sarah the pundent said in one of her first professional analysis on Fox News on the militarizing of the Mexican border, "Yep."
DeleteSomeone in another blog (the reference escapes me) had the perfect slogan for this campaign: "The Shitter and the Quitter."
ReplyDeleteThey'd have to have a mud fight to determine who's on the top of the ticket.
ReplyDeleteOr they could have a shooting contest to see who gets the Presidential slot.
Let's see: Ted has more kids, and it's a little late for Sarah to start up her baby making apparatus again....
Maybe Ted and Todd could arm wrestle to see who gets to be President.
Can't wait to hear the pee pond getting agitated about Ted Nugent having the audacity to think he could replace Sarah.
Mrs. Nugent should do some checking. No doubt the "people are constantly asking him to run" are DEMOCRATIC voters. Considering the line of has beens last time, maybe he should run. There will be Gingrich (hawking more DVD's and books) Santorum spouting his old tyme religion. Perry, maybe he can remember 3 items this time around? Jeb Bush, with his momma clinging onto his leg pleading "No, Jebby" Palin can not run, but she could stump for Nugent. Maybe he will auction off his crap filled pants from his Viet Nam avoidance days? What a patriot, huh? The gop loves them the insane candidates.
ReplyDeleteAnything for publicity, negative or positive.
ReplyDeleteRight, $arah?
Palin/Nugent,,, Nugent/Palin,, either way it would be a HOOT!!
ReplyDeletebill in belize
The assclown car is starting to take on dimwits already. Is Mit going to swoop in to take over and save the nation? Wash, rinse, repeat. Think the GOP is "Under the Dome"!
ReplyDeleteYou can't, we can't, encourage this Gryphen. I can't stand the thought they already make a living off their proverbial "hard work," but if you give them this kind of platform, people tend to mistake them for the rill dill and will pay them to come speak to them and Sunday shows will have them on. It was bad enough with Sarah, Christine O'Donnell, Herb Cain, Newt Gingrich, RMoney and so on. . .
ReplyDeleteAgree. Please don't encourage this. The airwaves would be overloaded with all their bullshit and morons would come out from behind all their rocks and bushes. It could be a disaster. I don't wish to hear either one of there voices anymore than necessary. God help us all!
Delete"God help us all" is right, because these people continue to pull the already fascist-leaning GOP further and further to the right. I wonder whether the powers at the top knowingly allow them to go forth and steal the air from everyone else solely for that purpose.
DeleteOops.. 7:27 *there ,should be "their ", sorry just caught my mistake.
DeleteA Ted Nugent candidacy would sure make Jeb Bush look like a distinguished statesman.
DeleteCons like to scream that we find such personalities 'threatening' if they run for office. It's not that. It's that the very nature of running for office gives you air time, screen time and water cooler time. It's wasted energy.
ReplyDeleteIt's the greatest experiment in ego.
Novelty Governors like a former 'pro'-wrestler or a spokesmodel Mayor who needs a city manager to make her look competent - are what she once said with Herb Cain, flavor of the month, flash-in-the-pans, A Warhol 15 minute famer.
It shouldn't happen. But it'd be very satisfying to see him flame out in a way he's not experienced before in a lifetime of flameouts. Will he shit himself before a press conference?
After all, Rick Perry ran because so many people asked him to. Mitt Romney ran for the same reason also too. Newt Gingrich imagined that if he had any friends, they'd be begging him to come back into the fray.
Sarah accepted an easy way in with a running-mate ticket and still failed to convince a voting public that she was suitable.
See how well all that worked out?
Nugent/Palin 2016 = The Shitter & The Quitter
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan!
Hee! And Shemane is not the name of a first lady. It's the name of a stripper.
DeleteThis motherfucker should be arrested for treason and threats to our POTUS.
ReplyDeleteWow, how far the right has sunk!
Thanks Sarah "Stupid" Palin!
Wait a minute...Ted Nugent is still alive? Didn't he promise to kill himself if Obama won?
ReplyDeleteI agree, neither of them would be willing to do the work to run. Ann Romney told us how hard it was.
Yep, on April 12th, 2012 Nugent promised us: ”If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”
DeleteNugent is a coward and a liar. Just like Screech.
DeleteHe promised he'd leave the county. But he's still here.
DeleteSo he lies like a Republican too.
WOW, planes are just falling out of the sky!

Fox “News” Starts Pimping Another Palin for President

New Indiana Law Makes It A Felony For Same-Sex Couples To Apply For A Marriage License
ReplyDeleteIndiana lawmakers have revamped a 1997 law that makes furnishing false information on a marriage license a class D felony. Beginning July 1, 2014, a same-sex couple applying for a marriage license in the state of Indiana will be guilty of a Level 6 felony, punishable by 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine. The new law also makes it a Class B Misdemeanor for a clergyman, judge, mayor, city clerk or town clerk-treasurer to perform a same-sex marriage, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Any clerk who issues a license to a same-sex couple would also be guilty of a Class B Misdemeanor.
Because Indiana marriage license forms have a space for “male applicant” and “female applicant”, any same-sex couple filling out the form would automatically violate the law. The harsh penalties Indiana lawmakers have approved make it difficult for protest movements like the Campaign for Southern Equality’s “We Do” Campaign, which encourages same-sex couples to apply for marriage licenses as a protest in states that prohibit same-sex marriages.

It will be ruled unconstitutional soon enough.
DeleteHis campaign slogan could be...
ReplyDelete"I'm Ten Nugent, I shit my pants so you don't have to"
Why do republicans always run draft dodgers? For that matter, why are so many republicans draft dodgers?
ReplyDeleteSigned a Nam Vet
PS Ted your country called quite a few yrs ago to serve, she doesn't need you now. Just stay home and carp your pants.
All they have willing to run for office *are* draft-dodgers?
DeleteQ. Why are so many republicans draft-dodgers? Q. Why are so many republicans cowards? Q. Why are so many republicans willing to send others to fight and die while not risking their own lives?
A. If they themselves go off to fight and die, they will not reap the profits to be made off of war-mongering, and profiteering, and low-bid/no-bid contracts.
Business! Corporations! Job-creators! Go ahead, ask a republican, that's what their response will be.
Wait... I saw that guy in the photo last night on "The Walking Dead" program. Someone was beating him with an axe or something, and he just would NOT die!
ReplyDeleteProof that the GOP is dead is the likelihood that there will be another stuffed clown car leading up to their 2016 presidential nomination. At some point there have to be some sentient beings among the Republicans who will finally realize that people mean more than corporations and that the party can only be revived if the party rejects its blind allegiance to ALEC, the Americans for Prosperity, the NRA, the Koch Brothers, Grover Norquist and the fundamentalist fake-Christian churches.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
I agree, except I think any sentient Republicans are long gone.
Delete"At some point there have to be some sentient beings among the Republicans who will finally realize that people mean more than corporations..."
DeleteWell, I think that classifies you as a cock-eyed optimist for sure.
What a paragon of virtue: "In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. Due to the age difference they could not marry so Nugent joined Massa's parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian, an arrangement that Spin magazine ranked in October 2000 as #63 on their list of the "100 Sleaziest Moments in Rock" ". Oh, and he was married to his first wife until 1979.
ReplyDeleteWhile it would be entertaining, Ol' Ted will never be able to face his draft dodging and pedophilia in an open election.
ReplyDeleteHe and Sarah Palin would be the laughing stock of the USA. It would be a kick in the ass if they tried to get into the running. The Dems would win hand over fist across the nation! Can you imagine the two of them up against just Hillary Clinton all by herself! She'd cream their dirty asses!
ReplyDeleteTed Nugent will be 65 in December.
ReplyDeleteNewt Gingrich is 70.
Mitt Romney is 66.
Rick Perry is 63.
Tick tock, tick tock, tempus fugit....
Well, there's always Fred Thompson. He's also 70. Which makes him a Young Republican!
DeleteTom, in FL
Proceed Assclown...
ReplyDeleteYes! A Nugent/Palin Ticket would be a dream come true! And I thought the GOP didn't have a chance!
