KISS frontman Gene Simmons: Rick Perry will be our next president
Hot Air ^ | August 16, 2011 | TINA KORBE

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:

At the time, was voting for Obama that much worse than voting for McLame?

“So you’ve imagined up a fake Perry to support; how intelligent.”

The world holds no prefect men editor, the world of politics least of all.

As Benjamin Franklin once said Politics is the art of the possible. I have been made quite aware of Perry’s questionable past, and political history. What concerns me most about our canadit is their rhetoric.

Why?

Simple because I don’t serous beleive any of them are going to be able to(even if they were so inclined) cut to seriously down the Federal Government.

Indeed even if they did it would be almost as temporary a victory as their term of office. Any power the Federal goverment “voluntary gives up” it can and will “voluntary reclaim”.

We are dealing with a systematic problem here not a political problem, and we require a systematic solution. That solution of course requires political will and action, but not from Washington D.C.

if we are to systematically check and balance this monster we must create and empower anther competing force. In these United States that force is the self-interest of our States.

So No i don’t much care what a president Perry does, its what he says that motivates others to act, and helps further reshape and reposition the political climate to where we need it to be.

Simmons is no prognosticator. And Rove, well, he’s just a dick.

Editor, Carl Rove is against Perry. Bad mouths him every chance he gets. So that makes me like Perry.

Who would have thought tens years ago Rove would have turned out like he is today a Conservative hating loud mouth.

Rove still works for Bush.

For that reason, he is working against Perry to hold 2016 open for Jeb.

The rest of the GOP elite are working feverishly to help their cohort Perry, along with numerous major media giants.

He’s been doing that for two years, but then working against those quips in the background.

Like the secession comment in the spring of 2010. Its all BS.

Are you trying to embarrass yourself here?

Your question is so absurd that I tried to take it as satire, but it wouldn’t fly that way either.

Voting for Obama shows us that Simmons is very much part of the problem, and Simmons support for Perry shows that Perry is too.
