Kiss singer/bassist Gene Simmons appeared on the Fox News Channel’s conservative talk show Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning to wag his tongue about the upcoming presidential election. The outspoken rocker, who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, declared that he hopes Republican candidate Mitt Romney wins this year.


“Americans, smartly, and I applaud them for doing so, vote on the issues and not the party,” he explained about his apparent change of allegiances.

“Hindsight is 20/20,” he continued. “I have some real issues with the economy and how it’s being done. America should be in business and it should be run by businessmen. That’s my philosophy.”


“America is a business,” he maintained. “If you can’t afford to do something, no matter how much bellyaching everybody does…you shouldn’t do it.”

2. "America is a business"? Do we make a profit?

And, is that profit our #1 priority? Should it be?

3. “Americans, smartly, and I applaud them for doing so, vote on the issues and not the party,”

And the issue for Gene Simmons? He's a rich rock star! Of course he's going to vote GOP! They're the RICH TAXBREAKS party!

5. Raise your hands.

Who wants to pay Romney's salary to be President. No I didn't think so.

6. The stoopid, it burns!

“Hindsight is 20/20,” he continued. “I have some real issues with the economy and how it’s being done. America should be in business and it should be run by businessmen. That’s my philosophy.”

Democracy is a "business"?

Business men should have their army, navy and air force?

Business men should have their own nuclear arsenal?

11. America is a business

What a tool. I like Kiss cause I grew up listening to him, same as Megadeth and Dave Mustaine, but these guys are absolutely clueless.

So, a Democratic Republic is now a 'business?'

Dude keep with what you know: being a poser.
