Mitt Romney Ted Nugent




























Mitt Romney's campaign on Friday rejected
an earlier claim from surrogate and rocker Ted Nugent that Nugent had
received the Romney campaign's "support" in the wake of his inflammatory
tirade against President Barack Obama and Democrats last month.



At a National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis in April,
Nugent said that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if
Obama is re-elected. He later went into a long-winded analogy
about needing to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November." The Secret
Service took notice of his remarks, and as is customary in such
situations, paid the entertainer a visit, which the musician has
maintained was professional and cordial.



In an interview with CBS News that aired on Friday,
Nugent claimed that the Romney campaign had "expressed support"
following his remarks. He went on to describe what he perceived as an
indirect approval of his rhetoric.

    Well, good move to a point, but he is still going to lose. His agreeing with Ted's personal brand of crazy has nothing to do with it. His being a flip-flopping, out-of-touch, flippantly-rich tool will be why he loses.

    I can't stand Romney anyway, so I listen to very little of what he says. But like him or not, I'll hold my nose and go vote for him if it will help to defeat Mr. Obama. And if Romney wins, I won't forget him throwing Ted under the bus, and I'll work twice as hard in four years for a good candidate to defeat him in the primary.

    To win this election, Romney is going to need votes in the middle of the political spectrum. Ted Nugent is way too extreme for moderates. Good move.

    Well he made the remark pro his side and got rejected for it, rather abandoned. The world now sees the fickle thinking and that will show you what will happen if he does get the throne in the White House.
    Its like Prince Charles, the King in Waiting getting surpassed for Prince William to Ascend the throne based on public choice because of his poor choices in life.

    Its a bad move, republicans love to see a blood thirsty coward, and two is better than one. They will see this as weakness becasue they must all stick together no matter what.

    It's probably a good move politically but if he knew the entire story he'd be an ass for not supporting Nugent.

    This endorsement was wrong from the beginning. It was a endorsement that never made sense.

    Romney's Pro-anti-gun beliefs and his past actions as Governor were never in alignment with those that are Pro 2nd Amendment and with organizations like the NRA.

    Maybe this is a move with the Romney campaign to come clean with the American voters.

    WILL THE REAL MITT ROMNEY," PLEASE STAND UP!"
    MITT has this big problem, "HE DON'T KNOW'S WHAT HE STANDS FOR, HE IS A PUPPET AND SOMEONE IS PULLING HIS STRINGS."

    What Mitt Romney didn’t do was distance himself from Ted Nugent, or else he risks alienating the fringe right that he is still oh so desperately trying to court. Romney’s real issue is that he has accepted the endorsement of an admitted pedophile.

    Apparently, the ability to spread hate and lies about President Obama is all the Romney campaign cares about.

    IS THIS REALLY THE BEST THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CAN DO?


    Mitt Romney’s Ted Nugent problems are much worse than the rocker’s threats against President Obama. Romney’s real issue is that he has accepted the endorsement of an admitted pedophile.

    Here is the video of Nugent’s comments that caught the Secret Service’s ear,

    The Romney campaign reacted to Nugent’s comments tepidly, “Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil.” What Mitt Romney didn’t do was distance himself from Ted Nugent, or else he risks alienating the fringe right that he is still oh so desperately trying to court.

    Romney’s Ted Nugent problem is about to get a whole lot worse if the mainstream media ever decides to report that Mittens has not rebuked a self-admitted pedophile. In a 1998 episode of VH1’s Behind The Music, Ted Nugent admitted to being a serial pedophile. VH1 politely phrased this as, “his weakness for young women.”

    Here’s the video:

    Mitt Romney’s campaign decided to react to Ted Nugent stumping for their guy, not by disassociating themselves with someone who in the past has threatened to kill the President of the United States, or by telling Ted the pedophile to get lost and then standing up in front of the world and proclaiming that Ted Nugent is not what Romney 2012 stands for. Nope. Mitt Romney calls for civil discourse, and then quickly moves on.

    Apparently, the ability to spread hate and lies about President Obama is all the Romney campaign cares about. You’re an admitted pedophile, Ted Nugent? No problem, just keep telling them how Obama is going to kill them all if he wins in November. It shouldn’t be surprising that a venture capitalist would have no morals, but the Romney camps willingness to overlook Ted Nugent’s pedophilia is a disaster waiting to happen.
