The Motor City madman is serious too.
In a recent in-depth interview Nugent said he already has his campaign’s opening line.
“'Hi, I’m Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and I’m running for president.' Yeah, I’m thinking about it.” Nugent told the Washington Post.
The rocker is well known for his pro gun, anti Obama stance and rants that make many of his fans giddy with the idea they could cast a ballot his way.
Nugent is so full of vigor he began his interview by saying he was “killing some squirrels" with his brother and cautioned “you are just going to be tsunamied by all this energy."
We have no doubt.
Nugent told the Post he has real ideas.
"Things are just so wrong in the country now and I know that my answers would make things wonderful, unless you just refuse to produce, and then I’d recommend that you move to Canada. Or Illinois."
One well known conservative is already on the bandwagon. Mike Huckabee says he would be glad to help out noting "I think you’d be surprised at how many evangelicals respond to him."
