TED NUGENT: What I Would Do If I Were President

July 16, 2013

In a brand new interview with MLive, legendary rocker Ted Nugent was asked when he will decide if you will run for president and what it would it take for him to win.

"God help us all, huh!" Ted replied. "I have been asked many times over the years what I would do if I were president of this great country, and I would simply run it like I run my family. Everybody has to be the best that they can be, as productive as possible, law abiding, giving, not taking, courteous, friendly, kind, caring and 100% dedicated to America and no one else. I believe that is the American Dream, or at least it is in my family and every family that I know. I would win if there are more Americans who believe in the same things versus more that don't. That is the frightening tragedy before us."

Nugent also addressed some of his critics who often seem to paint him as some kind of crazy, redneck, racist bigot that hates a good chunk of America.

"I don't respond to out and out lies from the Saul Alinsky gang of haters and liars," Ted said. "I find their dishonesty rather funny, it is so insane. There have always been crazy people and I suspect they are here for our entertainment. Have at it. Everywhere I go I am overwhelmed with kind, considerate, intelligent and honest people. The lunatic fringe will always be the lunatic fringe and have no impact whatsoever on us good folk."

Nugent, who is an avid supporter of gun rights and antagonist of President Barack Obama, was investigated by the Secret Service in April 2012 after saying that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama was re-elected.
