Just looking at a picture of KISS grosses me out, but youve 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 Perrys most sterling credential.
Gov Perry worked for Al Gore and then switched to Republican. He will be our next President. Ive 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:

As I am knowledgeable that Nugent hails from Texas, I expected he’d be supportive of a fellow Texan. I was just attempting some light humor.
Skanky human being and a RINO
[ 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. ]
Sooo he voted for everybody but AlGorp!... and thats not certain..
Not too smart is he.. The vote for Bush is suspicious..
I wonder what that says about BUSH?... considering his proclivities..
Oh, yeah?
Well what about that album where you and your KISS buddies removed your make-up? How'd that album sell for you?
Yeah...
That's what I thought...
Ping for later.
I loved this quote in his article:
“My governor shoots coyotes. What does yours do?”
I think that article deserves its own thread, even though it is a few months old.
LOL - the four legged variety, or smugglers of illegals?
Actually it sold very well, compared to the previous albums they did with the makeup.
KISS....Now that’s a study in intelligence.
Go for it. The anti-Perry crowd doesn’t mind posting old news.
Here's what folks don't understand about Perry is...he NEVER QUITS...once he makes up his mind to do something he does it. He is a in your face kind of guy...and has never lost an election. He knows what it takes to get it done. And he will not backpedal on anything he says....he is just gettin' started against barry. Thinned skinned barry...will NOT know what hit him.
shaw!!!
As....If....
Way!
“but Ive got another candidate. Sorry.”
If Palin does not run, does Perry have your vote? just asking...I’m a Palin fan but not sure she’ll run. Hope I’m wrong. I’d be thrilled with a Palin/Perry ticket.
Gene Simmons reportedly has an extremely high IQ. He does not drink alcohol and has never done illegal drugs, which may explain his entrepreneurial success both in and out of the entertainment industry, while many of his fellow rockers from that era still live gig to gig.
From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Simmons):
While a self-described social liberal,[11] Simmons was a supporter of the foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration.[12] He supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, writing on his website: "I'm ashamed to be surrounded by people calling themselves liberal who are, in my opinion, spitting on the graves of brave American soldiers who gave their life to fight a war that wasn't theirs...in a country they've never been to... simply to liberate the people therein".[13] In a follow-up, Simmons explained his position and wrote about his love and support for the United States: "I wasn't born here. But I have a love for this country and its people that knows no bounds. I will forever be grateful to America for going into World War II, when it had nothing to gain, in a country that was far away... and rescued my mother from the Nazi German concentration camps. She is alive and I am alive because of America. And, if you have a problem with America, you have a problem with me".[13] During the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Lebanon, Simmons sent a televised message of support (in both English and Hebrew) to an Israeli soldier seriously wounded in fighting in Lebanon, calling him his "hero".[14] In 2010, Simmons said he regretted voting for Barack Obama and criticized the 2009 health care reforms.[15] Following Obama's 2011 Mideast speech, in which the President called on Israel and the Palestinians to negotiate a settlement "based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps,"[16] Simmons told CNBC that Obama was gravely misguided. "If you have never been to the moon, you can't issue policy about the moon. For the president to be sitting in Washington D.C. and saying, 'Go back to your '67 borders in Israel' how about you live there and try to defend an indefensible border nine miles wide?" Simmons also accused the United Nations of being "the most pathetic body on the face of the earth."[17] During his visit to Israel in 2011, he stated that the artists refusing to perform in Israel for political reasons are "stupid," referring to artists who canceled planned concerts in Israel.[18]
While I don't agree with his every view, I do respect a person who can admit his mistakes and learn from them.
[ Here’s what folks don’t understand about Perry is...he NEVER QUITS... ]
Same could be said about “BIG government George Bush” (BOTH of them)
AND their good buddy.. Captain McQueeq..
Do you think Perry is a Progressive like they are..?
killed it and left it for the vultures....
Gene says his annual income is 30M, from his businesses and from his success. What’s yours?
WE'RE DOOMED!
