Mitt Romney and Ted Nugent


Republican champion, Ted Nugent, is defines "a piece of work."

Excerpt (Ted Nugent Wikipedia Page):

On March 2, 2012, Nugent endorsed Mitt Romney for president.[61] In a Romney stump speech at the 2012 NRA Convention in St. Louis, Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." He also compared the Obama administration to coyotes who needed to be shot, and encouraged voters to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November."[62] Nugent received a visit from the Secret Service for these remarks.[63] Following these comments, commanders at Fort Knox opted not to allow him to perform at a previously scheduled event with REO Speedwagon and Styx. [64]

In 2006, an interviewer from the British newspaper The Independent questioned Nugent about a 1977 interview in High Timesmagazine[65] in which Nugent admitted taking elaborate steps to avoid the Vietnam draft.[58] In the interview Nugent says, contrary to the story in High Times, that "I had a 1Y [student deferment]. I enrolled at Oakland Community College.". However, the Selective Service classification for student deferment is actually 2-S, and medical deferment is 1-Y. A copy of Nugent's Selective Service record shows that he had at separate times both a 1-Y medical deferment and 2-S student deferment, .[66] "... 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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nugent
