KISS frontman Gene Simmons: Rick Perry will be our next president
Hot Air ^ | August 16, 2011 | TINA KORBE

Posted on 08/17/2011 2:12:18 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Just looking at a picture of KISS grosses me out, but you’ve 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 Perry’s most sterling credential.

“Gov Perry worked for Al Gore and then switched to Republican. He will be our next President. I’ve 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:

[We have lots of experience with Perry]

What state are you in BB? I am for getting the best candidate, and one who can beat Obama. One who really wants to run and win. I don’t think your favorite feels that way.

She said; “I’d rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office,” the former vice presidential candidate declares in the just-released trailer for her TLC reality show.

That’s not ‘fire in the belly’. Perry has it.

No need to feud, we each have our favorites and I will vote for the nominee.

I would take his predictions over Karl Rove any day of the week.

Did Gene predict that Obama would wreck utter devastation on this country? Obama has not done *anything* that he wasn't *completely* up front about during the campaign. So only a complete moron could fail to see the inevitable carnage from an Obama victory.

So, no principles at all - that you can admit in public?

You do realize that the question is a perfectly reasonable one that any sane person should be able to answer with no trouble at all, yes?

Why are you here? What are you about? Why bother to get involved in political discussion at all if you don’t care what the end result is in terms of policy? Are you honestly of the opinion that it really matters if the boot on your neck and the hand in your wallet has a D or an R or any other letter on it?

Go right ahead.

I for one, won’t be surprised when Perry turns out to

1) Not close the borders (he’s against it, unless he is “just talking”)
2) Spend more
3) Sign more agreements with muslims
4) Promote more Big Government Health Care Mandates
5) Allow more relatives to act as lobbyists

We should be against big government, for a secure border, and limited spending, and other conservative reasons.....not just to get “our guy” elected.

Haven’t you been fighting just to get your ‘favorite’ elected? Did you ever tell me what state you are in? I missed seeing it.

Perry said;
Aug 13 south carolina
AMERICA IS NOT BROKEN...WASHINGTON DC IS BROKEN

“I will work every day to make sure Washington DC is inconsequential to your lives”

“We’re home to less than 10 percent of the population in America but 40 percent of all the new jobs were created in that state. I’ve cut taxes. I have delivered historic property tax reductions”.

He is pro life, pro gun, a Christian and I like him.

I’m not just trying to get a ‘guy’ elected, I’m not enamoured, I just want the person I believe can beat Obama. Four more years of Obama will destroy us.

Is this a defense of Rove as a prognosticator?

I have been following Perry long enough to know what he says is a lot different than what he does.

For example, on the border issues alone.

Absolutely not. It’s an obliteration of Gene Simmons as a prognosticator, assuming Simmons voted for Obama thinking it would be *good* for the country.

My post was directed mostly at slamming Rove. If I was forced to pick my Bar Room wisdom from one of the two drunks. I would pick Simmons. That is in no way endorsing what a philandering rock star has to say on anything. I would just pick it over a petty little POS with a bad track record like Rove.

.
Kiss and Twisted Sister have always been Republican leaning libertarians.

Not Conservatives though. But neither is Perry.

.
Exactly. Holding onto the Bush/Obama NWO gains.

These Perry pimps are waiting foe Oprah’s endorsement; that’ll seal the deal.

So you’ve imagined up a fake Perry to support; how intelligent.
