Ted Nugent says he's seriously considering run for president

Rock singer and gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent says he is seriously considering a run for president in 2016.

The part-time Michigan resident makes the revelation in a lengthy Washington Post profile in which he also claims to be toying with a potential campaign slogan: “Hi, I’m Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and I’m running for president.”

Nugent, also known as the Motor City Madman, has previously considered running for governor of Michigan, but decided against it. He has a hunting ranch in Jackson County and a cabin in Lake County, but his full-time residence is in Texas near Waco.

“He’s talked about it before,” wife Shemane told the Post about a presidential campaign. “But this time he seems more serious. People are constantly asking him to run.”

Mr. Pants Shit Fever will be out of there faster than Newt Gingrich and his idea to colonize the moon.

The Republican Party has been taken over by stupid people, they love Ted Nugent. I could actually see them nominating him, of course nominating a pants pooping pedophile will not get them too far in the general election, but we would be guaranteed a Democratic victory and the best Daily Show coverage of a political race ever.

I really want him to run, it would be the biggest train wreck of a campaign in political history I just hope that it doesn't derail too early because I want him to be in the Republican spotlight through election day.

Of course, they're all Democrats.

And I'm one of them, I can think of no better candidate to split the country club republicans away from the lunatic fringe. And of course the country club types will take all their $ somewhere else.
