Outspoken rocker Ted Nugent is weighing his political options and considering a run for the White House.
The conservative Republican has earned a name for himself in the political arena as an advocate for hunting and gun ownership rights, and now he is considering a presidential bid in 2016.
He tells the Washington Post, "Yeah, I'm thinking about it. ... Things are just so wrong in the country now. And I know that my answers would make things wonderful."
The guitarist has teased the public about the possibility of running for office before, but his wife, Shemane Deziel, insists this time her husband is for real, explaining, "He's talked about it before. But this time he seems more serious. People are constantly asking him to run."
And former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has already thrown his support behind the 64-year-old musician, even offering to help launch Nugent's electoral campaign.
He adds, "Ted says things in public that I wouldn't even say in private, but what people look for more than anything is authenticity. I'm probably as strait-laced a Republican as there is, but I'd rather be around Ted Nugent, who has an absolute honesty about him, than a so-called values guy who is secretly bedding down half his staff. ... If he runs, I'll go help him."
Nugent has been a very vocal opponent of current U.S. leader Barack Obama and his government -- in the run-up to the last presidential election in 2012, he hit the stage at a National Rifle Association convention and told the crowd, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."
He also got into trouble by encouraging Republican voters to "chop Democrats" heads off in November. His remarks led to a Secret Service investigation and cost him a gig at Fort Knox alongside REO Speedwagon and Styx.

I agree Krypto and NWO. Ted is a good sound bite, as far as a leader, no thank you.
I am totally for hunting but to go out and just slaughter animals just for kicks that is total bullshit. He obviously lacks some sort of compassion for animals.
Since I have a farm, I know first hand that these animals are not stupid. I would say that I have met profoundly stupid humans, given their brain capability vs animals and how they co exist on the planet. I prefer the farm animals every time.
Ted belongs on t-shirts, that's it.

Though, at least he'll say some real shit in the debates with some rock solid stones; i.e courage or serious balls; see cojones

Bad idea. Nugent is spot on till he acts like a trigger happy bumpkin; a diminutive turd dropping lost in the sticks.

Nothing wrong with hunting in my book. Unless your just rich and go on paid safaris for trophies. That's lame.
Ted talks good! Real tough! Ted Nugent Says He Killed 455 Hogs With a Machine Gun - The Blaze
Rock musician and outdoor television personality Ted Nugent, who owns a game ranch, has been a vocal supporter of regulation instead of a ban. The House passed a proposed package of laws before summer recess, but the Senate did not. HE GAVE IN FAR AS I KNOW.
