Just looking at a picture of KISS grosses me out, but you’ve gotta wonder whether Gene Simmons might be on to something with a prediction he tweeted yesterday.

“I voted for Pres Bush. I voted for Pres Clinton. I voted for Pres Obama. The next president will be Gov Rick Perry,” Simmons broadcasted.

A few minutes later, he backed up the prediction with another tweet touting what few conservatives would consider to be Perry’s most sterling credential.

“Gov Perry worked for Al Gore and then switched to Republican. He will be our next President. I’ve never been wrong,” Simmons wrote.

But, before you disqualify his opinion because he voted for Clinton and Obama, consider that Simmons has been vocal about his regret for the way he cast his vote in 2008. The Daily Caller has more:

He's Bad... He's Nationwide...

[Retired Greyhound]

I think he’s right.

[humblegunner]

Tweets are news now?

I rather think not, Robin.

[GonzoGOP]

Sorry but I get all of my political advice from Alice Cooper.

[fwdude]

I can’t stand these know-it-all jerks. Full of lies and themselves.

[Huck]

Me too.

[wbill]

Alice Cooper, from what I’ve seen, is a pretty smart guy.

[SoldierDad]

Well, my political advisor is Ted Nugent, and Ted Nugent says . . . .

[dfwgator]

Alice Cooper, from what I’ve seen, is a pretty smart guy.

Don't tell me, you saw "Wayne's World."

[exit82]

He got the first letter correct.

[kempo]

When the Rockers turn conservative you know the left is in trouble.

[TWohlford]

This, from the guy who was hired to promote the Indy Racing League, and gave us the “legendary” slogan, “I am Indy”??

going to take some time to clean Obama’s mess , oh and make sure you keep an eye on those Czars, bet they have collected a ton of secrets that are ready for resale

[ilgipper]

You gotta assume Nugent is a Perry guy. Unless he’s holding out for someone else, I would think he’d go with his hunting partner.

[Lazlo in PA]

Simmons is a very shrewd business man. He works in the private sector. I would take his predictions over Karl Rove any day of the week.

[Paleo Conservative]

I’d love to get a picture of Gene Simmons with Governor Perry.

[Venturer]

Simmons said he has never been wrong. Must be nice never to have been wrong, but if he voted for Obama he was wrong all right. Obama won and everyone who voted for him was wrong, and we are paying the price.

I think Gene Simmons is right I think Perry will be our next president..I don't like the Simmons music but so what, I don't like lots of music..I do like the man and he is very intelligent..He has a beautiful family...And he loves this country and our troops he says nothing but great things about America..

Would’ve thought she’d pick Spartacus.
