Why waste words on Ted Nugent? Simple he is a typical republican loud mouth.
Ted found true love with Mitt after breaking up with Rick Perry.
Ted could live in Amherst County as easily as he does in Detroit.
He talks large about guns, the NRA and war, but it is only talk. When the US Government offered him the opportunity to put on a uniform and serve his country he couldn't run away fast enough. Nugent went to extremes only a drug addict and half witt would try. Most of the cowards went to school till they turned 28 or faked some medical condition to get excluded from the draft or ran off to Canada (ROTC for Republicans).
Thank You to those who serve and protect our freedoms. The price of freedom has been paid by Democrats, Independents, Republicans and those with no political leanings what so ever.
There is no doubt that Nugent is loosely strung even today and only marginally able to think and communicate. The one thing Ted Nugent is is a Republican Hero and Fox News is busy trying to rewrite his life story. Good luck to Shawn Hannity and Mike Huckabee as they attempt to weave a hero from a useless bag of excrement. Huckabee is pretty good at twisting reality, he's a former Baptist Minister. No Doubt those preaching days are long gone and forgotten.
One of our readers sent me a copy of an extract of Nugent's Selective Service records, obtained via a FOIA request. As you can see, Nugent received student deferments in 1967 (1-S) and 1968 (2-S). But according to the Internet Movie Data Base website, Nugent has been "performing professionally since 1958, non-stop yearly touring since 1967, averaging more than 300 shows per year '67-73." Hmm, that would include the two years he was supposedly too wrapped up in his studies to be serving his country.
But that hasn't stopped Nugent from insisting that if he HAD served, he would have been one big mofo soldier. As the Rutland Herald reported, Here's what Nugent said he would have done if he went to Vietnam:
"... if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd kill all the hippies in the foxholes ... I would have killed everybody," he told the Detroit Free Press in an interview published July 15, 1990."
The Herald also noted that Nugent's efforts to avoid the draft make President Bush look like a war hero.
(Nugent claims) that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.
Sean Hannity went to ridiculous lengths Friday night (8/24/07) to defend Nugent's threatening rants against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. FOX & Friends whitewashed Nugent's comments the next day. Apparently, this "patriot" can do no wrong on the "We like America" network." If you get your news from Fox it isn't hard to figure why you come off as an idiot. Fox is the number one source of knowledge for republicans.
This is the endorsement that Mitt Romney begged for. How long before Nugent speaks at Liberty University?
Ted Nugent the GOP Hero Good and decent people died so this jerk can act like a fool.
Lets look a little deeper and let Ted tell the story in his own words.
If you don't like the language then send your complaints to Ted Nugent, right wing republican Hero, care of Fox News.
An intrepid reporter for "Dangerous Minds" went digging through his old copies of "High Times" and found this from the October 1977 issue:
High Times: How did you get out of the draft?
Ted Nugent: Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, motherfuckin’ rock and roll musician.
I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ‘em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf*cker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was – ‘cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball – I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.
So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You f*cking swine you!”
Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.
They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F.
They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?
The NRA puts this worthless piece of crap on their board and Republicans chase him for an endorsement. Mitt Romney must be totally crazy!!! Nugent is a disgusting, less than human piece of republican garbage.
Ted's Mugshot
Lets let Ted tell us more about him in his own words.
The Secret Service is planning to have a little chat with Mr. Nugent about his "If Obama is re-elected I will be dead or in jail by this time next year" remark.
One wonders if the subject of Mr. Nugent's pedophilia will come up.
What? You didn't know?
According to the "Behind the Music Episode Guide," Ted allegedly prefers his gals to be in the mid-stages of puberty.
He lambastes drug users and alcohol drinkers, but repeatedly admits (without a trace of humility, however) to being a serial pedophile. Two relationships (one with his wife and one with “muse” Pele Massa, who was 17 when they started dating) were ended due to Ted’s infidelity while on the road, often with underage women. But Ted justifies his behavior with one of his trademark funny expressions: “alternative flesh management"
Oh, we know. We understand. That's just one source. Here's another.
Courtney Love phoned into the Howard Stern Show on Monday before eventually coming into the studio where she made the shocking allegation that one of the first times she had oral sex was with Ted Nugent. She said she was young and she didn’t want to say exactly how old she was, but eventually confessed she was 12-year-old — which would have made Nugent approximately 28 years old at the time. The New York Post attempted to contact Nugent for a response but was unsuccessful. Moderators at Nugent’s official forum deleted the only thread asking about
the topic as evidenced by the forum’s search giving a file not found error for the matched thread. She added it was a long time ago and she didn’t even have breasts yet.
Ted explains how he gets off on really young girls.
OK. So that's just two sources that say that Ted Nugent not only had sex with underaged girls, but bragged about it, and one of those girls was a 12-year old Courtney Love. In the slideshow section, we have a screencap from the October 2000 edition of Spin Magazine that tells how "Bring 'Em Young" Nugent talked a
girl's parents into making him her legal guardian... but that's just another source, isn't it.
The video attached is of the 1998 "Behind the Music" episode in which Nugent admits his fondness for the young stuff. But that's just another source.
Now, now! Maybe Mitt doesn't know that Ted not only wants to murder the President but is a confessed pedophile. Jason Easley at Politicususa raises the question:
Romney’s Ted Nugent problem is about to get a whole lot worse if the mainstream media ever decides to report that Mittens has not rebuked a self-admitted pedophile. In a 1998 episode of VH1’s Behind The Music, Ted Nugent admitted to being a serial pedophile. VH1 politely phrased this as, “his weakness for young women.”
So, how will Mitt react to this bit of whimsy? After all, Nugent did not seek out Romney to endorse him... Romney sought out Nugent.
It was on a phone call with the candidate earlier today that Nugent gave his blessing. He talked to Romney by phone while he was at a sporting goods store in Michigan "celebrating the orgy of guns and ammos and bows and arrows and camouflage clothing and hunting and fishing and outdoor family supplies."
Ted puts bait out and then shoots the animals when they come to eat. He has been arrested several times for his hunting methods.
Before endorsing him, Nugent demanded that Romney pledge there would be no new gun laws or restrictions on Second Amendment rights in his administration. Romney obliged. Nugent also warned Romney about the "out of control" U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"These are not Ted Nugent demands," he said. "They're logic demands. They're 'we the people' demands. They're right over wrong, good over bad."
"Right over wrong, good over bad." Mitt Romney sought the endorsement and is taking advice from an admitted pedophile who wants to murder the President and used the "C-word" (and we don't mean "cancer" -- the word rhymes with "punt") to describe Hillary Clinton.
That's the kind of judgement we want. Oh, we know. Barack Obama sat on a board of directors once with Bill Ayres and they knew each other well enough to consider each other friends.
But Ted Nugent had sex with underaged girls and will be discussing his threat to the life of the current President of the United States tomorrow with the Secret Service.
Good call, Mitt. Great influence on your sons, including Tagg who tweeted:
“Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today. Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!”
Nugent Had Some Other Problems Last Week.
Why is everyone always picking on me?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Rocker and wildlife hunter Ted Nugent has agreed to plead guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in southeast Alaska.
Nugent made the admission in signing a plea agreement with federal prosecutors that was filed Friday in U.S. District Court.
Calls seeking comment from Nugent, his Anchorage attorney, Wayne Anthony Ross, and assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Schmidt were not immediately returned.
The plea agreement says Nugent illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 on Sukkwan Island days after wounding a bear in a bow hunt, which counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear.
According to the agreement, first reported by the Anchorage Daily News, the six-day hunt was filmed for his Outdoor Channel television show, "Spirit of the Wild." In the hunt, Nugent used a number of bear-baiting sites on U.S. Forest Service property, according to the agreement.
The document says Nugent knowingly possessed and transported the bear in misdemeanor violation of the federal Lacey Act.
Nugent, identified in the agreement as Theodore A. Nugent, agreed to pay a $10,000 fine, according to the agreement, which says he also agreed with a two-year probation, including a special condition that he not hunt or fish in Alaska or Forest Service properties for one year. He also agreed to create a public service announcement that would be broadcast on his show every second week for one year, the document states.
"This PSA will discuss the importance of a hunter's responsibility in knowing the rules and regulations of the hunting activities that they engage in, which is subject to the review and final approval, prior to any broadcast, by a representative of the United States Attorney's Office in the District of Alaska," the agreement says.
Nugent, who signed the document April 14, also agreed to pay the state $600 for the bear that was taken illegally, according to the agreement.
With hunting, Nugent has run afoul of the law before.
Nugent in wig, makeup and lipstick
In August 2010, California revoked Nugent's deer hunting license after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag.
Nugent's loss of that deer hunting license through June 2012 allows 34 other states to revoke the same privilege under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. Each state, however, can interpret and enforce the agreement differently.
This explains why Romney had to promise Nugent he would curtail the power of the Forrest Service in exchange for an endorsement. Somebody will have to explain to me why anyone would want to be connected in any way to Ted Nugent. I guess republicans can hold their noses and accept anything. After all Mitt Romney is their candidate for president.
Here's a little more on Ted Nugent, Republican Hero.
"Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, "Obama, he's a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary," he continued. "You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch." Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming "freedom!" over and over.
This isn't the first time Nugent has been caught spewing hatred. Last January, the guitarist caused a scandal for Republican Texas governor Rick Perry when he wore a Confederate flag shirt and insulted immigrants at Perry's inauguration event. In July, Nugent was quoted in a Wall Street Journal story blaming "stoned, dirty, stinky hippies" for "rising rates of divorce, high school drop-outs, drug use, abortion, sexual diseases and crime, not to mention the exponential expansion of government and taxes."
I opened this article by saying Ted Nugent could just as easily live in Amherst County as in Detroit. Ted is a typical republican.
Could be republicans need to clean up their acts but as long as making sure Obama is a one term president is the most important thing the GOP will work on they never will. Soon Nugent will run for Congress and the GOP will proudly claim and support his action. Have a good day.
Army cancels Ted Nugent's performance at Fort Knox over Obama comments. Finally Some Good News
Nugent's first band, Grand Pa and the Jugalos
It's lights out on Ted Nugent's scheduled performance at an Army base in Kentucky. Why would the Army hire this filthy draft dodger in the first place?
Commanders at Fort Knox have decided against allowing the "Motor Mouth Madman" to take the stage at the base in
June, the latest fallout over Nugent's comments that he would be "dead or in jail" if President Barack Obama were re-elected. Ted should have added to the jail or dead comment, out of work. Fox News and its announcing staff of Obama haters are doing all they can to re-build Nugent's image. Fox News hates Ameica,
Obama and our military. Fox loves right wing conservative republicans and anything they say.
"After learning of opening act Ted Nugent's recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," according to an announcement posted Saturday on the base's Facebook page. All across America People are congradulating Fort Knox leadership for getting this one right. This is the level of common sense we expect from our military leaders who should always keep distance between themselves and cowardly chicken hawk draft dodgers like Ted Nugent.
Midwest Old-Timers Rock n' Roll Express Tour
The concert at the base is part of the "Midwest Old-Timer's Rock n' Roll Express" tour featuring co-headliners Nugent, REO Speedwagon and Styx and is sponsored by the medical alert bracelet with the catchy phrase "I've Fallen and I Can't Get UP".
"Army Entertainment and the Fort Knox Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation remain committed to carrying out the June 23 concert, and the possibility exists that a replacement will be selected," the announcement said. "There is a whole world of one hit wonders and has been musicians to choose from and we are looking at Kid Rock as a replacement. He fits the price range and is young enough to stay up late and be the headliner. Kid has been sighted in Detroit bars well past 11pm."
It was not immediately clear whether Styx or REO Speedwagon planned to carry on with their scheduled performance. REO Speedwagon is considering a name change to REO MobilityScooter and Lip syncing is hard work so the loss of Ted may have removed the joy from the show. Styx had a chance of extending their week at the Tupelo Mississippi Holiday Inn Bar and Lounge for an additional week and the money is better and room and board are thrown in on that gig.
Due to their advanced ages none of these musical giants can stay up long enough to headline a show anymore and last call arrives slightly before 10pm. Being left out of the show will cost Ted Nugent almost $1,200 in appearence fees and may make things a little tight around the Nugent household this month.
REO Mobility-Scooter Together Again and Making Sweet Music
Nugent and Fort Knox public affairs officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Most of the time Nugent is unable to respond to anything immediately but has memorized rants that he amuses the questioner with. His Obama and Clinton rants have made him almost as famous as Dennis Miller. (Miller was a SNL member last century and now appears on Fox News Channel and does a radio show. He is much better known than Ted Nugent and far less offensive and on rare occassions funny.)
Response to the announcement was mixed. Many did not know who Ted Nugent was and countless others could not care less about seeing an unknown hippie musician from fifty years ago. A few said that waltzes were not their cup of tea. In all more than 41 people weighed in with comments. 7 people expressed their condolences at the loss but said they were otherwise disposed and would not attend the funeral.
"I feel they had little choice after the comments Ted Nugent made at the NRA convention. As president, Obama is their commander-in-chief," Carrie Peterson wrote on Facebook in response to the announcement.
Ted Urges Everyone to Support His Cause. Ted's cause is to set his own hunting rules and say anything he pleases about anybody he has a disagreement with and to be paid to sing 40 year old songs.
Ted Nugent urged the soldiers and their families to boycott the concert while urging Styx and REO Speedwagon to pull out of the show if he wasn't allowed to perform. Ted also said "Why Is Everyone Always Picking on Me"?
Still others were angry at the base commanders for strange reasons.
"I'm very disappointed to hear that you canceled Ted Nugent - this man is a pseudo patriot and embodies the spirit of the 2nd amendment, the only one of our constitutional rights that allows me to pack heat and kill. He was my grandfather's favorite guitar player from the early 60's and a master of 3 chord songs with no lead.
I believe that the US Army is around to fight for our constitution and our rights and I don't care that Nugent was a draft dodger and coward and never fought to protect the constitution or anything else. As a former US Army soldier, I am ashamed of Ted Nugent but wanted to see him on stage while he can still get around. These old hippie drug addicts are dying off quickly and your actions here may rob me of seeing my grandfather's favorite artist," Michael Edgerly wrote in his post.
Kid Rock is from Detroit like Ted Nugent and Kid Rock Endorses Mitt Romney. Kid Rock is being considered as a replacement for Ted Nugent at the Fort Knox Show.
The photo might not be Kid Rock.
On Thursday, the Secret Service said it resolved questions regarding comments that Nugent, a right wing conservative activist, republican nutjob, self taught semi-talented guitar player, songwriter of little renoun and gun rights advocate, made about Obama during a speech at an NRA rally in St. Louis, Missouri.
"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said, according to a video that the NRA posted on YouTube. "If you can't go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don't even know
what you're made out of."
The video has since been removed but the NRA is giving away copies with new memberships for only $20. The collectable edition is autographed by Ted Nugent and introduced with special words of praise from "Grand Wizard" Wayne LaPierre. Profits from the Nugent tape go to the "Guns Are My Birth Right" program which awards every white baby born on US soil a 357 Mag. and a box of ammo.
Ted Nugent is a Board Member and a Leader of the NRA. In the judgement of the NRA Ted Nugent is an excellent representative of their interest and will someday rise to the level of Grand Wizard of the NRA.
Many have questioned whether Nugent was alluding to violence against the president. Of course he was but his language is so crazy that Republican apoligists can pretend he wasn't. In the 22 states with the "Stand Your Ground Law" Nugent can shoot anybody and stand a good chance of walking free. ALEC and the NRA are trying to get this law for all 50 states and the Moon on the off chance that Newt Gingrich is the next president. If you are a politician on the take from either party all you need is an empty brown paper bag, they will supply the money to fill it and the bill, pre written and awaiting your signature, for you to submit.
Nugent issued a statement confirming his meeting and describing it as a "good, solid, sort of professional meeting concluding that while I may have several or more screws loose or completely missing I have never knowingly with malice of forethought made any unwarrented threats of violence towards anyone other than Democratic politicians and a few other irritating individuals from the US Forest Service" or "US Fish and Wildlife Services" that I can remember.
News of the canceled concert came a day after Nugent agreed to pay a fine, serve probation, bathe regularly and record a public service announcement as part of a deal to plead guilty to transporting an illegally killed black bear in Alaska. Nugent also agreed to stop selling his special mixture of apples, oranges, sugar cubes and grain which he advertised as "UncleTed's Animal Bait and Hunting Tool". The remaining bait will be donated to a homeless shelter in North Detroit.
The plea deal, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Anchorage, Alaska, stems from federal allegations that arose during a bear hunt in May 2009 that was filmed for Nugent's television show, "Spirit of the Wild," on the Outdoor Channel.
Nugent explains that the Fish and Wildlife Service entrapped him and that he would never have set bait traps for animals or shot tranquelized animals or broken the limits on bear kills otherwise. In exchange for his endorsement Mitt Romney promised to get the Fish and Wildlife Service in line and off Nugent's back.
In the plea agreement, Nugent admitted to shooting and killing a bear using a bow and arrow during a hunt on Sukkwan Island in southeast Alaska, just days after he wounded another bear. Nugent's hunting secret is to place bait in an open area and then shoot the animals when they come to eat. Alaska limits licensed hunters to the bagging of one bear per hunting season. Under the law, the wounding of a bear counts toward the season's bag limit. Nugent said he thought he was exempt from the law in Alaska as he resides in Detroit and is a member of both the NRA and GOP. For some episodes Nugent posed by animals that he had purchased from local hunters for use on the the TV reality show. On one show Nugent waited in a folding chair for a tranquilized deer to awaken and then photographed himself shooting the deer. Nugent is at least as great a hunter as he is a guitar player and patriot.
Nugent gained musical fame in the late 1950s as a member of the psychedelic drug band The Amboy Dukes, then as a solo act in the 1960s and later as a member of the late 1970s supergroup Damn Yankees. During the lean years Nugent delivered papers, sold Mary Jane Cosmetics as well as regular Mexican Mary Jane and operated a booth in a traveling circus. He enjoyed minor success with the songs "I Like Young Stuff", "Twelve is Old Enough for Me" and "Great White Hunter". He is probably best known for his rock anthem, "Un-treatable Cat Scratch Fever" or his big hit "Getting Funky for the Draft Board". Once Nugent thought about writing a book. That's one more time than he thought about reading one.
F.ck Ted Nugent. While I was rotting away as a prisoner of war and getting daily beatings Nugent was taking drugs and covered in excrement so he could beat the draft and get classified 4-F. To think that today this Coward and Chicken-Hawk Draft Dodger is a Conservative Republican sickens me.
Senator John McCain
Nugent has traded on his fame from 40 years ago to earn a living in much the same way as Hank Williams Jr., Pat Boone and Lee Greenwood. You can catch any of these old time washed up musicians on the Mike Huckabee Show on the Fox News Channel or on the TV Show "Where Are They Now".
Conservatives define themselves in terms of what they oppose.

Jon Huntsman Criticizes Republican Party, Compares GOP To Communist China
Jon Huntsman leveled harsh criticism at his party on Sunday evening, comparing the Republican Party to communist China and questioning the strength of this year's presidential field. In the end Huntsman apoligized to China for the unfair comparison.
During an event at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Huntsman spoke candidly about his party's flaws for two and one half hours, lamenting the Republican National Committee's decision to rescind an invitation to a major fundraising event after Huntsman called for a third-party candidate to enter the race.
"This is what they do in China on party matters if you talk off script," Huntsman said.
Huntsman, a former Utah governor who dropped out of the GOP primary in January, served as U.S. ambassador to China under President Barack Obama.
He also criticized the Republican candidates' foreign policy stances, particularly in regard to China, North Korea, Tiwan, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Cuba, China, Arizona, Texas and Ubekistan.
"I don’t know what world these people are living in," Huntsman said.
Although Huntsman did not mean to mention any specific candidates, he criticized Mitt Romney for his "wrong-headed, half witt, screwey" approach to governing. Huntsman, endorsed Romney after dropping out of the race, said in February that the former Massachusetts governor should take a more opportunity-minded view to relations with China and raising revenue in the US.
Jon Huntsman finished a close 32nd in the race for GOP candidate during the primary and is estimated to stand no chance of being offered a job in a republican administration.
Newt Gingrich has hinted that he would consider Huntsman for Prime Minister of his soon to be established Moon Colony.
Huntsman also spoke on Sunday about his presidential candidacy, revealing that he was less than impressed by his fellow candidates when he attended his first debate in August.
"Is this the best we could do?" Huntsman said he asked himself. "Then I realized these are real conservatives and they are the top of the tree, the pick of the crop, the best we had to offer".
He also joked that his wife forbade him to pander to the party's far-right contingent ahead of Iowa's caucuses, which likely hurt him with conservative voters in the Hawkeye State. Polling failed to show this as Huntsman only scored 2% on name recognition and after one particularly hard day of campaigning failed to answer to his own name for over two hours.
“She said if you pandered, if you sign any of those damn pledges, I’ll leave you,” Huntsman said. "So I had to say I believe in science -- and people on stage look at you quizzically as though you're ... an oddball." Republicans don't believe in the "Round Earth Theory" or "Evolution". Actually Iowa is living proof that there is no such thing as evolution or intelligent design. That's why Iowa gets to pick presidents.
Huntsman, however, did not actively campaign in Iowa, telling CBS News in December that "they pick corn," not presidents, in that early caucus state. Later Huntsman clarified himself adding that a great many Iowians got paid by the government not to grow corn and they mostly picked guitars and noses. Huntsman did not do well in Iowa for unknown reasons.
Since dropping out of the race, Huntsman has remained critical of both the GOP and his former opponents. Huntsman has remained lukewarm in his backing of Romney. Huntsman being lukewarm in his support of Romney puts him head and shoulders above most Romney supporters. Polls show that Democrats like Romney as the opposition candidate (2 to 1 over GOP supporters) more than republicans.
"Gone are the days when the Republican Party used to put forward big, bold, visionary ideas," Huntsman said during the February interview with MSNBC that got him disinvited from the RNC fundraiser. "I think we're going to have problems politically until we get some sort of third-party movement or some alternative voice out there that can put forward new ideas and deal with the simple act of telling the truth." "Republicans don't stand a snowballs chance in hell of capturing the presidency in 2012. I know Obama, I worked for Obama, Obama is a friend of mine and the republicans don't have anything that comes close to matching Obama."
And unlike others in his party who have endorsed Romney, Huntsman has refrained from appearing at campaign events on behalf of his party's likely nominee. Huntsman said "I just can't stand the embarrisment of appearing with or campaigning for Romney." According to his daughter, Abby Livingston, he won't be joining Romney on the trail anytime soon.
“My dad is not a surrogate for Romney and will not be out stumping for him in the general,” she told ABC News earlier this month. "He is enjoying private life.” "Dad would not like to be connected with Mitt Romney in any way."
Mitt Romney says corporations are people too. You will know this is true when the state of Texas executes one.
A corporation is legally a citizen of the state (or other jurisdiction) in which it is incorporated (except when circumstances direct the corporation be classified as a citizen of the state in which it has its head office, or the state in which it does the majority of its business). Corporate business law differs dramatically from state to state. Many prospective corporations choose to incorporate in a state whose laws are most favorable to its business interests. Many large corporations are incorporated in Delaware, for example, without being physically located there because that state has very favorable corporate tax and disclosure laws.
Companies set up for privacy or asset protection often incorporate in Nevada, which does not require disclosure of share ownership. Many states, particularly smaller ones, have modeled their corporate statutes after the Model Business Corporation Act, one of many model sets of law prepared and published by the American Bar Association.
As juristic persons, corporations have certain rights that attach to natural persons. The vast majority of them attach to corporations under state law, especially the law of the state in which the company is incorporated – since the corporations very existence is predicated on the laws of that state. A few rights also attach by
federal constitutional and statutory law, but they are few and far between compared to the rights of natural persons. For example, a corporation has the personal right to bring a lawsuit (as well as the capacity to be sued) and, like a natural person, a corporation can be libeled.
But a corporation has no constitutional right to freely exercise its religion because religious exercise is something that only "natural" persons can do. That is, only human beings, not business entities, have the necessary faculties of belief and spirituality that enable them to possess and exercise religious beliefs.
Now enter Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205 which overruled two precedents:
Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, a 1990 decision that upheld restrictions on corporate spending to support or oppose political candidates.
McConnell v. Federal Election Commission, a 2003 decision that upheld the part of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 that restricted campaign spending by corporations and unions.
While advancing First Amendment rights of corporations, a bitterly divided Supreme Court ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. The ruling represented a sharp doctrinal shift, and it will have major political and practical consequences. Specialists in campaign
finance law said they expected the decision to reshape the way elections were conducted.

Justice Stevens said the majority had committed a grave error in treating corporate speech the same as that of human beings. “The difference between selling a vote and selling access is a matter of degree, not kind,” Justice Stevens wrote. “And selling access is not qualitatively different from giving special preference to those who spent money on one’s behalf.”
President Obama called the Citizens United ruling “a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.”
Mitt Romney is actually saying coporations have more rights than you do and a much louder voice and the Supreme Court agrees with him.
