Ted Nugent Might Run For Governor Of Michigan ("I have threatened to do so and I was sincere.")

I’d enjoy it if he did just to see him point at Schumer and yell across the Senate chamber, “How many innocents have YOUR proposals and laws murdered, Senator?!”

[gdani]

I have a feeling his past love of jailbait & women who aren’t his wife would be a gold mine for his opponents.

My first Nuge album, circa 1976.

My impression is that he’s considerably more conservative than Schwarzenegger. And he isn’t as stupid as Jesse Ventura. Probably more conservative than he is libertarian, he is a strong supporter of the WOT and border enforcement.

I know he doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t like it that others do drugs, but I’m not sure if he is for laws restricting their use or not.

[DogByte6RER]

Agreed.

I think the Michigan State GOP might have some serious issues about this. Nugent would stand a better chance running as an Independent (like Ventura)

It will be interesting to watch if he does get in...

I’ve met Nugent and, while I appreciate his support of both gun rights and the tradition of hunting, I am no great fan of his. That said, I do think that I’d thoroughly enjoy watching him run those Michigan leftists around the maypole a few times. If he should win such an election, it would take an “E” ticket to get into the show.

Nugent refuses to mince words and often uses a racial epithet to describe blacks that normally would mean political suicide.

Really? I've never heard him say it.

"Kill It and Grill It" It's taking forever to load.

I was going to ask if it was "101 Ways to Cook a Plugged Squirrel"

Your photo's still loading...

[Dixie Yooper]

Although I like Ted and his politics, I’m afraid he would end up like a dog that finally catches the car he’s chasing if he were to win.

[RockinRight]

Yeah, it’s too bad he’s 100% correct about everything he’s ever said.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[Beagle8U]

“Nugent would be good for 2nd Amendment and CCW issues in Michigan and PETA has declared him public enemy #1 (which is a badge of honor.) “

Any non-felon in the state can get a CCW now.

[Greg F]

I predict a cautious, don’t make mistakes campaign style with little media attention or comment.

[DogByte6RER]

When I heard Nugent speak at the Las Vegas FreedomFest Convention in 2005, he made a joke about either Asians or Koreans eating dog meat. A young Asian college co-ed abruptly left the conference room after this quip and she didn’t look happy.

Undeniably, Nugent is very non-pc.

This article is the first time that I have heard about racial epithets about blacks...

It would be fun to watch Nugent run gun grabbing liberal pols like Chuckie Schumer, Teddy Kennedy and Barbra Boxer on his reality TV show on the Outdoor Channel.

Nugent would be merciless towards such liberals...

[hophead]

It would be a tough dicision to crown Ted’s wife or Fred Thompson’s wife as the hottest first fox in the White House.

Hey Ted, can I be the FIRST to rent out the Lincoln Bedroom?

[Leg Olam]

At least Ted has a record to be proud off.

“I’m not sure if he is for laws restricting their use or not.”

I believe he is more libertarian on this subject and others like it. I remember he said something to the effect that if you do drugs, that is YOUR stupidity. He says he never did drugs OR alcohol.
